Baldyboy 1 Posted December 11, 2006 been mulling over a comment somebody made to me at the end of the game and i have been mulling it over all weekend as i thought it was a bit out of order. i was told i was not fit towear the nrwich shirt i had on because i wasnt happy with saturday and made my feelings known. am i supposed to just sit and say well done when players cant be arsed and THEY are clearly not fit to wear the shirt!! this is typical of the fact people at carra rud expect you to shut up and accept the crap that is on show! i saw more commitment and entertainment watching my two sons playing for their under 16 team yesterday than i did on saturday and a far better game of footy.[:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tel 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Don''t blame you my friend, like you I have had enough of some of these rudiculously overpaid and grossly under performing clowns if the idiots who had a go at you stick with them regardless nothing will change. I dislike these supporters who think it is illegal to complain, these players earn fortunes compared to the rest of us and look how pathetic they are (or at least some of them, not all). I won''t be returning to CR next year if this dross continues to the end of the season. On another note, plain to see why Grant wanted the job, pretty obvious his mate Pardew wasn''t going to be at West Ham much longer, lucky us. O''h sorry forgot also illegal to criticise Grant cos he''s only been here a few weeks even though there has been absolutely no change in tactics, style of play and above all the thing a manager could really do something about, change in attitude.

I don''t lay the blame at grants feet because this isn''t his team, he has got us some superb results since coming here. Get the eleven back and some good signings and we''ll be laughing, trust me!

It seems that calling a spade a spade these days is viewed as ''moaning'' for the sake of it.....when as you say all you are doing is stating the obvious. It''s almost as if these fans are in denial....and that left alone it will all come right on it''s own. It won''t.When someone on here says they are thinking of turning in their season ticket after decades of support.... suddenly they are a traitor. What the hell is that all about? I want to enjoy my football.....and if anybody is a traitor it''s those frauds at CR for taking my money under false pretences.If more people stopped shoving their heads up their backsides and began voicing their concerns....something might be done to rectify things. For as long as this Board sees the blinkered mugs endlessly paying to watch such bilge....they are not under any pressure to act.No doubt this too will be seen as ''negative'' or ''moaning''....and if that is infact the case I suggest they open their eyes to reality and stop pretending all is rosey in the garden. It''s like finding a rash on your butt and ignoring the fact that it''s there....in the end it will cover your entire body and a simple cure won''t heal it. Right now there is still a simple cure available....but no-one is looking at it.I regularly watch my boys play footie too. It''s honest and passionate....and win or lose they enjoy themselves. How refreshing that is....and how proud I am of my kids for giving their all on the pitch. Their reward?.....Fun...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJD 0 Posted December 11, 2006 I was not at the game, instead went to see Chester play Lincoln to rack off another ground and a good game it was to. Standing made a change!Back to the point, I feel you are entitled to voice your displeasure, but then again if doing that you get a counter-reaction then you can hardly be surprised. People take set-backs in different ways. Some go for the full blooded moan and others retreat to a defensive position based on theories of loyalty etc. Neither is really wrong or right and as long as it does not spill over to violence then that’s I guess is what we call democracy. At the end of the day we all want Norwich to win and I hope that binds us together no matter how any of us see the different ways forward. Keep wearying the shirt with pride mate.

Marty 0 Posted December 12, 2006 I can''t really comment unless I know in what way you were making your displeasure felt. But some people thinks shouting abuse at players is OK, whereas i rarely think it is of benefit. So if I was watching a game and had to endure listening to a barrage of abuse and obscentities from a fellow spectator it may tarnish my veiwing pleasure. I am not saying that was what happened because i don''t know, but if I think somebody is out of order i would say so. I might not say you''re not fit to wear the shirt but I might say "shut up and stop ruining the game for everybody else" ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shack Attack 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Just a thought, but rather than letting this bother you all weekend why didn''t you just tell this person in a calm and reasoned manner why you were so upset at the teams poor performance and why you belive you have as much right to wear the shirt as he does.

Baldyboy 1 Posted December 12, 2006 thanks for the support people. at the end of the day i shall keep wearing the shirt with pride, i just wish those players would do the same. i can take it if the team loses after having a go but the spineless and gutless performances i have witnessed over the last couple of years really do get to me, ffs all i want is to see some effort!!

E I E I E I O 0 Posted December 12, 2006 People that say I dont feel shouting at the players does''nt achieve anything bemuse me.They say that our excuse for a striker Thorne is on £10,000 a week.Christ he has taken the best part of a Million pounds of our club and for what, he has probably played football for us less than 500 minutes!I want to do more than shout at him, I would like to stick a briefcase with 500 minutes worth of my wage enclosed up his arse sideways!Who the hell do we shout at? Its not the managers fault. Football players have the life of reilly to the extent it makes me sick. If anyone performed at there job to the incompetent level this man does, they would be sacked or had up by trading standards!Thorne is not the only one by the way!

Marty 0 Posted December 12, 2006 AT said"I am really upset you are taking this personally; I find debating with you intriguing. Do your friends agree with you unanimously? My point is people have different opinions". No, I am not taking it personally, I just find the concept of people think they pay their money and can therefore shout whatever abnoxious abuse they want a touch annoying. If they do it in the pressence of me I will say something, i doubt I would say the bit about not being worthy to wear the shirt, but I would remind them that there may be children present! no i am not refering to a little bit of naughty banter, I am talking hard core personal abuse - now I don''t like this, that is my opinions, I will not budge on that one iota. I pay my hard earned cash to watch football and maybe have a bit of a laugh and bit of banter, i don''t think that makes me particularly odd? Of course all my friends and work colleagues agree with me all the time! Having a strong mind and principals doesn''t mean I am not prepared to listen the other opinions, and that is exactly what I am doing here isn''t it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyboy 1 Posted December 13, 2006 marty, i was shouting my disdain yes, but i am entitled to do that but as you put it i was not being over abusive and commenting on players ethnicity or sexual dealings or anything else yopu may care to think of. i was questioning the desire to play for the club which correct me if im wrong wasnt much in evidence on saturday. if i offend people then i apologise but i will never be quiet i cheer when things are going well but when things are dire as at the moment i question the commitment.

I am no saint, but the kids know the difference between a bit of banter and hard core nasty abuse. I find it a shame that many people feel they can''t voice their opinions nowadays without the threat of violence of verbal abuse. I must make a distinction between constant abuse and sporadic comments, even I am prone to some of these and i''m not proud of myself (normally aimed towards the ref, but I do try to be amusing too).I do not agree that over the top verbal abuse is a right of freedom of speech, if it threatening, racsist etc then is is anti social behaviour, and I wouldn''t want to spend £25 to listen to it when I am supposedly there to be entertained by the "quality" football!
