    If you don't mind me asking, why did you start singing a Liverpool song? I'm not defending the man's actions but did you not think "I'm surrounded by morons here, I better not antagonise".

    Because I thought the singing of the victim song was a ****ing disgrace and was hopeful of other saints joining in ( a fair few did) to show the Pool fans we're not all simple minded idiots <ok>

    Some things are more important than football mate... and there's things all fans should stick together on <ok>

    Don't mind you asking but why shouldn't I?

    Not a Saintly thing for our fans to be doing, I wonder who started it last night?

    United fans have sang it for a lot longer than the Suarez incident I believe... it got more common after that though.

    It started in Itchen North... loud enough for me to hear clearly in block 42 before the Pool fans started booing them. Then people in the Northam joined in, it was fairly loud... though not sure if it would have been heard in other parts of ground. I'd estimate there was at LEAST a couple of hundred singing it in the Northam alone.

    It had no impact in the Library end (Kingsland South and Chapel).

    Up to you what you do. I just wouldn't want to be in an area where there is a chance of people fighting due to singing. One lot being morons, they're being morons - leave them to it or report it to a steward. Singing a pro Liverpool song in their eyes will rub them up the wrong way. The last thing I would want is Saints fighting amongst themselves close by. Especially in a stadium with children, seating and stairs.

    Edit: I see you were sat close to Itchen North. That explains it, I avoid that area of the ground like the plague these days. Same goes for Northam. I rarely enjoy a game at the ground these days, due to the minority.

    That doesn't suprise me... it was drowned by boos fairly quickly. Was suprised that no only one other person has mentioned it though I must admit.

    Quite simple: stop being so wasteful with goal scoring opportunities and improve his final delivery.

    I am in the Kingsland Block 29, didn't hear the song from there, and wouldn't have known what it was about anyway.

    I was in block 42 mate. And personally, I don't give a **** about rubbing people up the wrong way. I'll do what I feel is right regardless, and I was justified imo as a fair few Saints fans joined in with me.

    You say a 'pro Liverpool song', doesn't really explain it does it? I mean, it's not the same as singing YNWA or Fields of Anfield road etc.

    The guy I spoke about earlier wasn't there second half. So reckon he got nicked/chucked out.

    I was in block 40 and heard JFT96 from the away fans for a couple of minutes but absolutely nothing unsavoury.

    Fair enough, but look at it this way. If a fight breaks out, people fall over seating and a kid gets hurt. The police won't care who started it, whoever was fighting would be punished.

    A pro Liverpool song, being a Liverpool song. Just not a song that is sang in St Mary's often.

    It was immediately before that.

    After several viewings of the highlights, the chip over Karius after the cross from Long is actually the worst miss of all. Karius came at him with both feet off the ground, all Redmond had to do was sidefoot the ball along the ground under him. Easy to say in hindsight I know, but part of being a successful striker is instinctively knowing your best option, and Nathan needs to practice the split-second decision-making.

    That's something that will (hopefully) come with age though.

    Thought he put in a good defensive shift last night too.

    I heard Hillsborough chants from Kingsland/Northam corner quite clearly.
