The fans aren't not known for their patience, here's hoping new guy will stick to his guns re style of play. SOD didn't have a good game but some of the shouts aimed at him are just ridiculous. The guy wears the jersey like every other player and tries his best. With a fully fit squad I wouldn't have him in starting xi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a local guy who like us all has flaws and clearly gives his best. It's about time the modern game exits anyone from the crowd for being abusive . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted Sunday at 09:53 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:53 AM Like others, I think SOD's best days are definitely behind him and he's back up, at best. However he's an honest professional and a good ambassador for the club and doesn't deserve the type of abuse he received yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've already mentioned there are some crackers in the support who seem to come to the fore in away games but if we Start lobbing people out for being " abusive" , it's going to be a select few left.

This is where I'm at. There's a difference of being frustrated v's downright abusive. Appreciate not in the same ballpark but was chatting to my friend who supports York City - Salford team walked off the part following racial abuse last week and the match was abandoned. Someone has since been arrested. The more the game has a hard line about behaviour the better behaved people are likely to become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually stopped going to away games last season because of all the shit happening and I didn't see anything yesterday that would make me want to change my mind. We have some right cretins in our support and I'm more and more starting to see why Bob Park gave up the ghost and walked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been a target from day 1 of a certain element of our fans. Even when he was playing well. In 50yrs of going to games I’ve seen it all before unfortunately.

twistandshout1983 Posted Sunday at 11:28 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:28 AM Can't say I heard any abuse directed at SOD from where I was sitting but I would be in favour of ejecting people if the abuse is overstepping the mark There is a difference between giving stick and being disappointed with a performance, and being downright abusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do away games because I can't be bothered with the antics of some elements and sadly yesterday just proved why I won't be going to another away game. Maybe I am just getting old but it took away a lot of the enjoyment from yesterday. No doubt though the media team will perceive it differently.

steelman1991 Posted Sunday at 12:07 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 12:07 PM Bit embarrassing all round yesterday - from the team performance (which can at least be mitigated somewhat with the state of the pitch and the heat), to the cretiness behaviour of the 2 guys in the rear of stand having a punch up, to the young teams antics. Certainly not a day to be proud off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see the " hard cases" who were pushing and shoving the stewards lifted but if there's no police, it probably won't happen We can all be high and mighty about racial abuse but young folk trying to make a few bob don't deserve this, probably get a lot less hassle stewardiing at an oasis gig . I did notice the boy with the knitted mask on, he must've been bloody roasting, his mates will reckon he's a character tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted Sunday at 01:15 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 01:15 PM I'm having a good giggle at the last page or too. What sort of "abuse" are we talking about here? I've just seen it mentioned in the same post as fucking racism. Wild. Pyro, I don't get. It's illegal and they know the risks. Moaning about the stand chucking the ball about is a bit "old man yells at cloud" type stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moaning about the stand chucking the ball about is a bit "old man yells at cloud" type stuff. Well Busta I don't know how many away games you go to but it's the same individuals doing the same stuff and I'm pretty sure the club know exactly who they are but seem quite happy to put up with it. The ball in the crowd yesterday was just good natured fun and personally gave me a good laugh but appreciate others might have found it a bit crass. More concerning is the clean up bill to remove all the graffiti and stickers the club will get next week, the fine for the pyro display and the apology letter to the security company for one of their young stewards getting punched in the face trying to put out the flare. I really love the atmosphere the Bois bring to the game and I would hate to not have them there but they just need to reign it in a bit and realise some of their antics cost the club money.

A minimum wage steward employed by the club we are visiting ,a policeman, a fellow fan ? Who is going to go into the crowd and do the chucking out ? Are the ejected fans pals who don’t agree with the decision to chuck him out going to stand by quietly and let it happen. Finally with the reintroduction of beer and vodka into grounds imminent i think those in charge of security will have more to worry about than this.

All very valid points of course , and don't disagree I certainly would not want to be a steward getting paid peanuts confronting these people The flip side of the coin though is if it allowed to happen we will see more and more incidents, as people will think it is completely acceptable behaviour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
