Jerzy Krukowski 5 Posted March 21, 2009 Got a mail earlier from a binner friend (I know, he''s mostly ok though) and this is what he said....sound familiar?"at portman road this is the most miserable season i remember in a longtime - my inside contacts tell me that some players dread playingat home!at one game i stood next to a fella who cheeredand chanted for 25 minutes and then said "ok i have cheered and chantedfor 25 minutes - we are 1-0 down - i have done my bit - you lot arecrap - especially the manager - magilton out and i am not renewing myseason ticket!" i mean what??? i am a fan because i am - notbecause i expect to be entertained or expect any success ever again inmy lifetime - and when we go 1-0 down in an important game we cheermore not less - awful awful mood on the terraces this season - peoplehave been wanting the manager out practically from the beginning of theseason - i mean i think he''s made a lot of mistakes but the moaning - ican''t stand it!part of it is that we have had money forsignings but we do not seem to be going forward but too many people areimpatient and aggressive about it - there''s been really nasty argumentsbetween the fans - i will be back next season of course (and forever)but it''s been no fun"Not quite sure whether to be amused or sad as it seems to be how fans everywhere are thinking....I''m not critizing people for moaning some of the time by the way, we''ve clearly been rubbish most of the season, just seems indicative of the way football is going. I''ll still go as often as possible though [:^)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivvo 257 Posted March 21, 2009 Unfortunately I feel the same as your mate, since the Jarrold Stand was built and capacity increased I''ve witnessed far more moaning and whingeing than I ever used to pre the Jarrold, some people are quiet until a player makes a mistake and then seize the opportunity to immediately berate him for it, it then seems that''s the cue for constant moaning for the rest of the game, anyone will do! If Fozzy''s not playing, it''s Cureton, if he isn''t then it''s Doc or whover else takes their fancy. Ps not that Fozzy or Curo haven''t deserved it on some occasions, but there''s never any praise for them when they do something right either! sorry rant over.

[/quote]Your mate''s 25 minutes is nothing! FORTY SECONDS into our last home match, some old tw@t behind me in the Wensum Wing screamed "Sort it out City, this is rubbish" when a pass went astray for the first time! I swear that some of these people only come to the match to have a good whinge and moan - it''s pathetic. (I got myself into trouble with my teenaged daughter for standing up and telling the moaning git behind us what I thought of his negative attitude - oops!).

beachbum 0 Posted March 21, 2009 Fact is you pays your money and you takes your choice.Everyone sees the game from their own perspective and everyone is entitled to.There is no right and no wrong.Footy fans are the same everywhere (apart from glory seeking plastics obviously, they are a scourge and deserve our opprobrium)Winning is all.End of.
