Brighton fans - I'm starting to hate them

[Commander]

What is going on with our fans? Where have all these idiots come from? And the average intelligence level seems to be falling dramatically.

This isn't a JCL rant, but when we used to go away in the dark years of the late 90's and early noughties, everyone just seemed so much better. The following wasn't full of thick idiots who didn't have a clue how to behave. We seem to have picked up a load of 17-19 year olds who think they are some kind of, well I don't know really, I would say Danny Dyer character, but it's not very Danny Dyer to sing "f*** off Millwall" and "Forever Blowing Bubbles" when hiding behind the fences in Coward's Way, and then go completely silent as soon as they are in view of the big bad boys from Millwall. They all went very quiet then, didn't they? It's embarrassing, and it's also f***ing annoying when you are face to face with all the Millwall fans, waiting to get into the queue with them and the twats behind you are singing "f*** off Millwall" from the safety of the fences behind and out of view.

These kids are going to be taught a valuable lesson at some point this season, probably somewhere where they least expect it like Barnsley, and do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to laugh. HA HA HA!

And how thick were some of our chants last night?

"Millwall's a shithole, I wanna go home" - First of all we weren't in Millwall, it's the other side of the river, and secondly it's actually quite nice these days.

"We filled your stadium" - What the f*** is that about and why did we keep singing it? We didn't 'fill their stadium', we didn't even sell out our end, even though it is the second closest ground to us.

"You're just a small town in West Ham" - For f*** sake is that really the best we can come up with? It doesn't even make sense. It's even worse and more unoriginal than "Does your boyfriend know you're here".

I'm looking forward to the away games like Middlesbrough etc when these twats aren't there.

Good work on the lads trying to sing the proper words to GOSTBS and at the proper speed last night, you gave it a good go. It is going to take a long time for people to learn all the words though, especially the ones who just go to the odd game or the big away days.

Apart from all the shit songs and thick retards, I thought the atmosphere was good last night, we outsang Millwall easily. Shame there are still these people who cant handle their drink and feel the need to throw bottles at, er, well I'm not sure who / what at, just throw them. One came from the guy behind me, I'm not sure if he was inebriated or retarded, but he didn't seem to be able to speak English.

Maybe I'm getting old.

Maybe it's because I didn't have a beer last night for the first time at football for years. Maybe I'll be one of these twats I'm moaning about at Birmingham on the 29th. I don't think so though.

Rant over (although still plenty more available if anyone is interested).

MOVE OVER OLD MAN! YOU'VE HAD YOUR TIME

 

[seagullondon]

I agree with some of what you are saying but the "Millwalls a shithole, I wanna go home" and "We filled your stadium" have been sung at many previous away games and are not a new phenomena.

However, i would quite like to listen to more ranting. let it all out please

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Live and let live, I say there is always a cycle of new 'yogurts' every season, nothing new here, however the singing in cowards walk and then silence when the gates open is a cringe. Songs like 'small town in West Ham' I don't know what to say!, perhaps the 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' was started by the same 'posse' that were singing "USA....USA..." or "one Malcolm Glazer" when we played FC United for f*** sake (although not as cringeworth as "nil and you f***ed it up" as we manage to take said, Unibond mid table team to a replay!)

having said that, i'm not the song police, "we're Bright'nove Albion, we sing what we like" but think for a second please

I didn't hear us sing 'Millwall's a shit hole' at Portman Rd

Was saying pretty much the same last night. Not enjoying Albion games nearly so much these days, sadly, because there seem to be more idiots following us these days. Ignorant, angry and spoiling it for many others. Shame.

Glad you approve of the newly slowed-down GOSBT, it will take off in time

I know they have, but have we really got to the level where we just sing those songs because we do them at every away game, not because they make any sense or are relevant or witty? Are we really that unimaginative now? I used to think we generally had fans who were far above the average intelligence of football fans generally, and who were renowned for being witty and clever and creating a good atmosphere. Now we seem to be just as bad as all the others who live in some northern hell-hole and have nothing else to do in their lives other than go to football at weekends and work down the pit in the week.

MOVE OVER OLD MAN! YOU'VE HAD YOUR TIME

Maybe you're right Mr Rev, maybe you're right.

I think I might make up for not drinking last night by drinking this morning, at work. Maybe that will help with my anger management problems today.

good post. was thinking the same last night. our away support is really poor these days, not particularly loud, spending half the time trying to start 'hilarious' chants about the opposition. those 'we pay your benefits' and 'we filled your stadium' songs are neither big, clever, or funny. we don't have any sings for players... ffs even Gus doesn't have any his own proper song yet.

what happened to backing the team for 90 mins like we should be doing?

have long since stopped enjoying away games. especially the ones in london as these are particularly prone to numptyness.

 

[Randsta]

MOVE OVER OLD MAN! YOU'VE HAD YOUR TIME

I think you will find your getting old I feel the same

 

[brightonbozzo79]

Maybe Commander you should been at the front facing all of us, start all the songs and tell off people when they shout something you didnt like. You could then be called the Conductor!!

although one that comes to mind (probably because I was sober) was a nil all at PNE a few years ago where some of our element spent an hour singing Tottenham songs to some plum in the Preston end wearing an Arsenal shirt

MOVE OVER OLD MAN! YOU'VE HAD YOUR TIME

If anyone is getting old rev, its you

 

[Billy the Fish]

Come on lads, they're not really spoiling it for you are they?

Just do your own thing, and let the others get on with it.

I agree it was cringeworthy when people who were giving it the big'un suddenly found their balls had shrunk when they realised Millwall were in front of them. The ones singing those silly songs were mostly the remnants of the H block goon squad, rather than our new found "element"

I don't even know where to begin with this

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I did chuckle when the morons sang at Ipswich "its a shithole I wanna go home".

Actually its not. Its v v affluent.

Stoke, Middboro etc yes. But not Ipswich.

I think its the southern games that bring out the idiots Commander, and yes interesting coming out of The New Den all the kids are baiting Millwall then realise that the queues merge into one and suddenly go quiet.

 

[farawaysaint]

Every Palace fan no matter where he is just felt a major disturbance in the force when you typed up this thread.

The thing that people seem to forget is that Millwall get "We pay your benefits" etc every week. Same as we get "Does your boyfriend know you're here". I don't understand why we react to that one with such disdain and boredom because we hear it every single game, yet people seem to think it's hilariously funny to sing "We pay your benefits" or "The wheels on your house go round and round", when it is exactly the same situation. Can we really come up with nothing more original than that?

Maybe Commander you should been at the front facing all of us, start all the songs and tell off people when they shout something you didnt like. You could then be called the Conductor!!

I think this is a good idea. We'll start this at Birmingham.

The force is still strong, young Jedi.

 

[Billy the Fish]

yet people seem to think it's hilariously funny to sing "We pay your benefits" or "The wheels on your house go round and round",

It's deffo not our "new" support doing this. These songs were the staple of H block for the last few seasons at Withdean, week in week out, regardless of who we were playing. They even used to do them in the same order, followed by the anti palace songs - in the same order.
