Bws Cat 0 Posted November 18, 2012 Since there seems to be a drought of MOTD hate threads, I decided maybe I should stoke the fire a bit (sarcasm people)Why is it always that MOTD have to show on their cameras the most awkward and abnormal fans? Now I''m not saying they aren''t ''true fans'', but it seems rather embarrassing that the camera always goes onto a rather, umm, "large" lady who is bouncing around and looks like she is struggling to maintain her own weight.Not to mention the guy who looked like he had eyeliner on and was shirtless and jumping around. It doesn''t look much like a family club, it looks more like a circus. Just my thoughts. Am I being prejudiced? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted November 18, 2012 What I don''t like is people rolling up their programmes, at the end they showed a guy with a rolled up programme...Why would you do that? Is it that hard to hold it not rolled up? I have personally never had an issue holding a programme that hasn''t been rolled... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muddy funster 0 Posted November 18, 2012 Oh dear....i''m afraid I have to agree with you. Don''t forget the gentleman with teeth at 45 degrees from their normal angle...but all in different directions. It really does paint a stereotypical picture for non-Norfolkites....which is no doubt why the cameraman focuses on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roodge 0 Posted November 18, 2012 What I saw was some city supporters happy to be supporting their local team & even happier that we just beat one of the best teams in the land. What I didnt see was row upun row of sporty type celeb wannabees manicured nails, groomimg products checking their iphones & their image. & we dont have to have their bank accounts either to get a ticket. Nice one City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ketts Rebel 0 Posted November 18, 2012 Got to say I agree with this thread. Out of county media are famous for wanting to feed stereo types of Norfolk people. You could feel the thinking behind it as I watched. Pathetic. I noticed during the olympics the tendancy to focus on especially good lookers..usually female. I wonder who makes these decisions?

priceyrice 123 Posted November 18, 2012 To be fair, all the pictures MOTD showed of our fans were also shown on the ESPN coverage- i imagine that 90% of our fans look like that anyway! ;p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bloomers 0 Posted November 18, 2012 Typical BBC showing us as a bunch of thick country inbreds from Swaffham. Complained to cameraman a few months ago as to why Jason Donovan or whatever his name is on Look East,always portrayed us this way,and said he would try to change it,but obviously no change. Very embarrasing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stig 0 Posted November 18, 2012 While I am aware of this, and commented on it to my Manchester United friend yesterday while watching on ESPN... I am absolutely disgusted by this thread. Those are people, that needless to say, support the same club and were probably ecstatic to be on TV. (everyone likes a claim to fame! My face was on sunderland away last season.) I''m not being oblivious to the fact that that is probably the camera directors "plan" but to single these people out and refer to them as "mongs" is disgraceful.You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

Gingerpele 0 Posted November 18, 2012 Because my Grandad bought me one at my first game and said keep it, so i''ve bought a programme at every game i''ve been too ever since, and have them all.

dpit 1 Posted November 18, 2012 So MOTD should only show young stereotypically ''beautiful'' women (a la Sky cricket coverage in India)?So MOTD should not show ''mongs'' with chest tattoos?Listen to youselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Gingerking 5 Posted November 18, 2012 I thought they made Utd look alot better than they actually were. Sure we had more chances sequentially that weren''t shown and they didn''t show enough of the game in general. We had a sequence of something around 30 passes that was good to watch but to be honest didn''t expect even the level of respect they did show us for once.

dpit 1 Posted November 18, 2012 I''m sure I''d get on well with you if I met you in person, I tend to warm to most human beings. However, I don''t think a fan club is quite in order as your online persona is a little....trying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
