Protesters only kids

[0peteddMMyyyy0Falseen-USTrue 0]

Grumpy old *1* on Canary Call, all protesters at Carrow Rd only kids, irrespective of their age and I doubt they were all adolescents, certainly not from pictures.  But the youngsters seem more likely to be more passionate and voiceferous fans than older fans, I suspect most chants are from the under 20 age bracket.  If they didn''t contribute the atmosphere which is currently subdued would be non existent.

So if the younger element get the job done fair play to them, certainly if the team relied on my occasional applause for support they would get much encouragement, and I am certainly not alone in silent contemplation on a Saturday afternoon.

As can be evidenced by all the photos, the protesters were mainly late 20''s to early thirties, although the ages ranged from about 8 to 80.

from what i''ve seen most of them were kids

[ca 1]

Well I was there and I''m over 40 and so were the 4 people who were standing with me.

Yes there were lots of under 20,s at the front but there were all ages there including pensioners.

Anyway does how many were there or the ages of people really matter.

If people dont agree with or dont want to join the protests then fine, but leave the ones who do want to, to get on with it and stop trying to belittle their enthusiam or beliefs.

Too right, Id be pretty embarassed if I was that caller. He must rank up there with the Stupid Barry saga.

its been well documented that younger supporters were at the head of the protest march, with older fans behind.  i heard the old duffer give his ''i''m disgusted'' comments too  - adding that going to norwich is always a fun day out. must find out what medication he is on.did anyone hear the first caller as well - nearly blubbing because of all the stick nigel has taken this season.  i thought it was a poor radio norfolk call in this week - must have screened the incoming calls.

so is that bloke saying that ppl below the age of 20 dont deserve an opinion?

Of course you can have opinions Beno - my original point about the age of a lot of the protestors is that they have never really experienced life before Worthy and therefore maybe their view is not as balanced as some others who have supported the club through many cycles.  Also, youger people are more prone to enjoy a good protest than older people on average.  When I was a student, often enjoyed a good protest (Poll tax etc) and as I have got older realised that maybe I was there for the occasion as much as anything.

The old git that was running on about how disgusted he was with these fans, and that they should go to portman road made me laugh so much, what an idiot. One little quote the cracked me up is when he was blabbing about how we''re a good football team, and we like to play good football, and we are mighty norwich etc.. etc... what planet is this guy on?

 

Respect to Adams for not losing it with some people on Ccall.

[Largey 0]

the pictures in the EDP showed about 80% of the protesters as under-18''s.

 

this result should shut them up. I hope so. Face facts guys, Worthy is staying and i am damn-well pleased about that. Good luck to the guy!

You know, it''s difficult to judge. Some of the most level headed comments on this board have come from the younger element and vice versa.

As for the blubbing first caller he sounded like he was accepting an Oscar.

[We need a Manager 0]

Life before Worthy Dicky was very very good if you go back far enough, and of a standard Worthless will not reach even if he remains in charge for the next 30 years. Oh and all that success and good football was achieved without spending anything near what the Irish clown has wasted on 3rd rate footballers.

to be honest dickhey if the 297 heads counted (so anybody shorter than 6 foot wasnt counted) were under 20 then add the 500 old folks at the NCISA meeting that makes 797. 

also they are less tolerant to 11th place with such an expensively assembled championship squad......

its funny how just 800 people can ruin the atmosphere at home games of 25,000 oh... wait  so the other fans are recking it too....  jerk......  i was at the protest and most of the fans were between 20 an 50   get a grip........  I find your asumptions plain offensive and sad mate....

I think these protests have been a timely reminder to an UNDERACHEIVING BOSS that he needs to work hard as well  we have been utter shite mate,,,,,,  total crud.

im just about old enough to remember the ''chase'' era and the protest then was amazingly large obviously and i as a something year old joined in and now as a 20 year old im joining in again, i never felt Worthy was right for the job since the start, although i do thank him for the ''glory years''. the kids were asked to stand at the front if i remember correctly so naturally they will be seen first and formost. that bloke on canary call did make me laugh, crazy ramblings of someone who clearly didnt watch the disasters that have been seen by so many this season, at both Carrow Road and on our travels.

What was the guys point exactly?

Suppose all of the protesters were/are kids. What would the problem with that be? Is he trying to say that they don''t deserve a say. They are paying customers just like the rest.

Is he trying to say they don''t know what they are talking about? Maybe they don''t have the knowledge of more experienced supporters but they have all bought the right to have their say every time they walk through the turnstiles. Just like anyone else.

[/quote]DickyI truly hope then when you read this back to yourself, you''ll realise how self-centred and arrogant your comments appear.   You sound like some indulgent elderly relative "Of course you can have opinions...", "when I was a student.." - God Man, take a look at yourself.   I have to admit that I used to respect your blind faith to Worthington, but your attitude to those who feel that protest is the only viable response to the club''s (frankly) appalling season is nothing short of condescending and at worst insulting.  Beno - keep protesting, keep agitating, if everyone in the world was like Dicky then nothing would change and God know''s what situation we''d be in today.Beno - you have every right to protest, even if as Dicky says your views aren''t balanced - I don''t quite see how that argument works as I feel every bit as strongly as you and I was reared on a diet of Reeves, Peters, Suggett & Paddon onwards - so I know success & bitter failure as well just as well as you do...Keep the faith, and fight the good fight!

Matt Large - "the pictures in the EDP showed about 80% of the protesters as under-18''s."

Please can you supply a link to this picture, as I believe you''re making this up. I was there and in no way, shape or form were 80% of the protesters under-18. The youngsters (as in under-12''s) were placed at the front, but that''s it.

"Of course you can have opinions Beno - my original point about the age of a lot of the protestors is that they have never really experienced life before Worthy and therefore maybe their view is not as balanced as some others who have supported the club through many cycles."

Yes, they won''t remember the times we finished 5th, 4th & then 3rd in the top division in the late 80s and early 90s. They won''t remember us winning the League (Milk) Cup in ''85, getting to the semis of the FA cup in ''89, beating Arsenal 4-2 at Highbury when we were 2-0 down at half time. Beating Liverpool at Anfield on the last match of the old Cop end. Beating Bayern Munich at their ground and getting a well-earned draw at home. Beating Everton 5-1 away and Leeds (then in the Prem) 4-0 away.

This is what many of us fans remember and love the club for. We didn''t have a multi-million pound squad then (although some went on to become that) but a very well organised squad and managers that could get the best from the players we had.

How does losing all the games we have lost this seaon compare to that? Hmm. It doesn''t.

K.L.O .you are so right , life under bond , stringer , williams , was so different , i remember sounders the the manager that took us up in 72 .his ploy was work ,work , and work again , just like good old nigel , saunders had them running up and down the mousehold hills  day in day out ,when we came across the quality of the top flight we looked very poor , as we did last season . when bond came in it was like a breath of fresh air .players were trying things , little things like step overs ,flicks. dinking little balls into the box etc,this was football worth watching , not like this nonsense being served up at moment.

At least we could pass a ball before Worthy came and I know the likes of Megson had their critics but we played wth passion.

How does age effect opinion ! its not like hes 3 ! leave him alone everyone ! we see all the ktf''ers as soon as there is a half desent result - what ever the age protestors are sticking up from this club and they like the majority dont want to see worthless ruin this club!

 

[JohnoBono 0]

I just want to say that I know Beno27 and he is one of the most sensible level headed 15 year olds that I know. He has every right to protest. Just as much as I do and I am middle-aged.

Whatever the age we can all see what is being served up on the pitch. The lack of tactical nouse. The woefull use of the transfer market, money wasted on loan players who dont play.............

Just because certain people are not old enough to remember the good football that was played pre-worthy it does not mean they are un-able to see there is something very wrong at the moment.
