Not the performance. Not the ref. Not the diving,cheating Chopper that is Chopra. Not the Bell End that is Bellamy. Not the result. No ,the one thing that really got on my tits today was about 35 minutes into the game. We had possession and were playing simple passes, keeping the ball well.It was probably our best spell of passing.Koren,Evans and I believe Daws were heavily involved. And then what happens ? Some ****ing imbeciles,quite a lot to be honest ,start to get on the players backs jeering and moaning at any pass that went sideways or backwards. That sort of thing gets to the players in a negative way and more or less as soon as the jeering began one of our lads( Daws I think) made a silly pass and lost possession. Whoever was jeering needs to have a word with themselves.I was appalled and embarrassed.Get behind the team for ****s sake especially at times like that.We had the ball and was building up a bit of pressure. It's was probably the same clowns moaning that whinge when we hoof it up top and lose it. Rant over but that sort of thing really gets on my tit end . UTT
Fully agree, i was saying halfway through that passing phase, the crowd is going to force them into a rash or silly decision and in the end we made a silly pass and cardiff almost scored from the breakway The kc atmoshpere is a joke, the away fans get behind the team so well
have you ever been to an away game. most of the modern sterile stadia are exactly the same. the away games are more fun as a supporter than the home games...fact!!
Most other teams don't do it though, most other teams are happy doing that and most teams do that. However as soon as City do it we Boo, then we boo when we hoof it, we boo when we score pretty much! The stick the fans around me give the lads in the west stand is annoying me, might even move my tickets next year its gone that far!
It winds me up as well. What's wrong with keeping the ball instead of lumping it upfield? That's what Harper does and it's the reason that he gets slagged off - "always loses the ball trying to play stupid balls, blah de blah, etc". It's not like it's just one or two people either, it's about 25-30% of the people at the match, and they need to realise that football is a game unlike Rugby; you don't start by lumping the ball to your opponents defending players.
Loads of muppets in the South stand near me were doing the same thing. It really is infuriating, its the same people always complaining and it can't do team morale any good. If we're not 2-0 up in 15 minutes suddenly its a disaster, as is losing to the best side most of us have seen at the KC this season, listening to some of the clowns on the Blunderside phone in afterwards was laughable.
The same thing happens at the Nou Camp. If its not lumped onto Messi's head within 20 seconds of them having possession they all start jeering. With regards to the crowd jeering perhaps they are all part of a conspiracy club we don't know about. The bloke behind me must be part of it. He was calling Fryatt on Saturday for Christs sake.
NFU, you forgot to mention Jay Bothroyd, despite all his talent, having to control the ball with his upper arm, EVERY time he got it. Along with Chopra's diving and Bellamy being Bellamy they make a skillful but bloody annoying front 3. Oh, and that second goal was a joke. Ramsey was offside, then Emmanuel-Thomas handballed it, then pushed Dawson over and worst of all Guzan somehow didn't save the ridiculous tame effort. Can't have any complaints abut the result though, if it wasn't for Gerrard and Chester's heroics and a ridiculous offside decision it could have been 3 or 4. We're getting there, but the very top teams like Cardiff are a cut above us at the moment.
Thats what I was saying about our fans in another thread the other week, our fans are crap to be honest proper dead end atmosphere. Booing and jeering our players who the heck are they its the sort of fan that i wanna slap in the face.
