[Football] Letting ourselves down
- Thread starter Harry Wilson's tackle
- Start date
Injustices on the pitch whether from officials or from the visiting team always enhances the atmosphere. Down the years certain grounds up and down the country have always been feared by visiting players, the likes of Upton Park and the Old Den. Many atmospheres derived from a feeling of injustice to all things and a distaste of the opposition. Used to be called the twelfth man. It wasn't and has never been a vocal support of their own team but a certain venom to any others in the ground.
The new grounds, all seating stadiums has sanitized many an atmosphere. I would like to think no one would want to go back to the violence but a hostile crowd does set the scene borne out by some of the best games at the Amex.
Alternatively we can sit there clap every now and again and hold up placards asking for the oppositions star player's shirt.

Twitter has been a tad embarrassing for us over the past day or so. We’ve almost reached peak Elite Club Fans level of moaning like a bunch of whining prats. Oh well.
This seems an anti-NSC comment which is about so much more than just the football. Especially when it comes to Palarse.
This. He is talking shit
Not against your post in general, but I missed that feeling on Saturday. We certainly offered far more than in our first PL game against City, where we were just hanging on for as long as possible (we have progressed), and we weren't over-run, but I felt it was a matter of time before Liverpool would score.

This year, after a season of just wanting to stay up has been brilliant. We have really tightened our grip on staying in the best league in the world and no one so far has given a a pasting. We have let no more than three goals in any one match and not been beaten by more than two goals. We compete with every team in the league and always have a good chance of points in each and every game. We have had some great results against top sides.

I'm with you to an extent HWT, but I think condemning half and half scarves on here is fair enough, as is complaining about the ref. I haven't yet seen any hate about scousers or Salah but if do I find any I will advise the poster that they might need to grow-up...
I don't mean the team. Yesterday we gave an excellent account of ourselves against one of the better teams currently playing in the world. We were never embarrassed, overrun or made to look second rate. If ever there was a moment when I have though 'and exhale - this is going well' since we moved into the Amex, that moment was yesterday.
However, when I pop on NSC today what do I see?
People talking about half and half scarves as if this is the start of the slippery slope and the end of civilisation as we know it.
People consumed with hatred for hub-cab stealing self-pitying scousers who (nudge nudge) deserve blame rather than sympathy for Hillsborough
People who swear they once saw yesterday's ref frolicking with Klopp in a 1970s german gay porn film
People who think that Salah is simply an Islamic version of haha, and should be shot
People......exhale, relax, get over it. You're letting yourselves down, your club down and your families down with such tin-pottery, division three-style anger and status-envy.
Fair point. My view, also, has no value. I felt like making it, though.
Until you learn to really hate to your core (through your keyboard), a section of the population you’ve never met, your views on opponents will have no value. Until then, not a true supporter.
Although in the meantime you’ll be a happy human being and less likely to keel over from a football result not going your way.
You choose.

It may be some time before I meet a BHA 'fan' like the ManUre 'fan' who did some work in my house recently. Top lad, don't get me wrong. Till it came to football. I summarize:
"Brighton?
""Yeah, I saw the highlights on MOTD"
"No, I don't really have time to watch live football"
"You've lost me there" (I mentioned something about Teddy Sheringham)
