The Moaners

[NCFC4LIFE 0]

After watching last nights game at Vicarage Road you would be a fool to

say we didn''t under perform, especially in the 1st half, we looked slow

off the pace and a little tired if im honest. However the 2nd half was a

much more committed performance influenced by some early substitutes

from PL. The 1st half performances can be blamed on a number of things,

the pitch, our loss at Swansea or even a competent Watford side who are

well organised under MM, but what really gets me was the people moaning

and criticizing players even before they had made mistakes.

There were several times last night I had to bite my lip from saying

something, there were four lads behind us talking utter crap about our

players and the way they play in particular Fox, Ward and Pacheco, and

the guy in front of me must of criticized every single player at some

point last night. It was a joke, F*ck this S*it that.  These players have been superb

this season, and a number of players in the squad have massively over performed and

due to this can now classify themselves as good Championship players,

but these undeserved gripes last night were extremely despondent for me and probably the players if they heard them. Not exactly what we need at this point

of the season.

I have always noticed the lack of patience from the Norwich fans both

home and away over the years that I have watched them, and i think it is fair to say as fans we have set extremely

high standards for the players and the way our football club play football, there is nothing wrong with this but i just hope that the fans stay

with the players these last four games before they vocally cast their judgments! The pressure those players are going to be feeling especially at home (as the expectations are going to be so high) is going to be huge so fingers crossed we can get a cracking atmosphere inside CR on Friday night.

MASSIVE game Friday night, OTBC we can do this, pray for Holt and Hoops to be fit.

Pees me off tbh. Very trying people.

Bloke and his two teenage sons have taken to sitting behind us in the Jarrold, every comment is negative, it''s possible he thinks he''s on MoTD.

However I started telling my partner in a loud whisper that he was going to give himself a heart attack and it''s had a positive effect for now.

I referred to a ''bubble'' of expectation and I think the hype surrounding such a new team has become laughable.I have my issues with the ownership but to turn on the team or manager after what they have given over two years is bloody ridiculous. Manchester United we ain''t... and I hope to Christ we never will be.

I mean its just laughable at times!

I moan about the team everyone does but i praise them for the good things they do and i think thats what people struggle with is the praising part. I remember last season the women infront of me wouldn''t clap Chris Martin, i mean come on his from the youth team scoring bags of goals cut him some slack.

 

Oh and i''ve heard the blokes life story 12 times this season who sits behind me. He doens''t even watch the game he just sits and yaps about crap for 90 minutes.

Im not saying people cant voice their opinions but its the constant grumbling and moaning even before anything bad has happened! If these (fans) were actually to shut up for one second and watch they might learn something about the game of football.We all have a moan, and i would be lying if i said i havent shouted out profanities towards players in the past but its just ridiculous some of the things that were shouted last night at the game!

NCFC4Life - Every team has people who moan about their team and performances. What would you put the first half performance agaianst Swansea down to then as the pitch was superb? lol

[NCFC4LIFE 0]

by the sounds of it Canaryfanny68 you are one of these people who love to have a moan for no reason!! In fact do you have a bald head and a munter for a Mrs??I didnt attend the game at the Liberty Stadium i watched it on a 3D television in the comfort of my home, but i didnt think the 1st half performance was that bad really, they scored two worldlies apart from that i felt both teams cancelled eachother out, they had chances and so did we.What are you trying to say that the pitch at Watford didnt make us play long balls all night?

I totally agree... I sit in N&P upper and there is a nice bunch around me (apart from the group to my right where about 100 people dont even bother to stand up when we score LOL...)

Anyway I was shocked last night at the beam back 1 person who sat in Norfolk Lounge at front by a pillar was constantly shouting abuse... He sounded such an idiot and I and most others couldnt quite beleive it... So if you were the lad sitting in front of the pillar in a green jumper id watch your foul mouth if I were you... its not helpful nor nice!!

Come on mate, i see your point but this is Football!

I will always show my support for any player who wears the shirt. I will keep my opinions to myself when they are playing on the pitch but i will always try to make constructive criticism in the Pub/House after games if i feel players deserve it.

the moaners are obviously sad, bitter people. it''s a shame their lives are so, but i just wish they''d stay away from ncfc.

we''d be much better off with a few empty seats than having these negative, opinionted, wazzuks in the grounds.

this team and manager we have are the best we''ve had in a long long time and we should be 100% united behind them.

I do think alot of whats said on matchdays is out of fustration, I know I''ve been suspect to moaning about one or two of our players when they play a w*nk pass or something. I don''t think, if you asked them midweek, without the tension of a game, they wouldn''t dare to complain when rationality has returned.

I know its fustrating listening to people complain about a team that is 3rd in the league, but at the end of the day its always going to happen. It''s the same at every club. If you read any other fan forum, they''re as bad, if not worse e.g. people on Watford''s forum saying Malky ''is on borrowed time!''

I know its football but he wasnt using constructive criticism... more constant criticism - the sort where where everyone stares and thinks what a w****r! lol!

I am all for people shouting and cheering on the team just not the sort of stuff he was shouting :)

I don''t.... I moan because I''m a miserable b*stard and I enjoy it (apparently)... [:^)]

[grantroederdisaster 0]

The players are only human and many fans forget that!

A big reason why we are where are up to now is the never say die spirit and strong desire to win. Take this away from the team and we''d be a bottom 8 team!

The Scunny home game the other week was a once in 40 years result for a League game!

Most Championship games are going to be difficult!
