[Albion] Arsenal fans in home stands

[Thunder Bolt]

Two people on this thread insulting fellow Albion fans using their second/ third or whatever account, no balls to use their first account I see.

The original accounts are probably locked/banned.

 

[WATFORD zero]

The original accounts are probably locked/banned.

There is the third option.

That they have made such a stupid **** of themselves on their previous accounts that they actually are too embarrassed to use them, although that would indicate a level of self awareness not normally seen on these accounts. I'm not thinking of anyone in particular

The laughable thing is i had not contributed to this thread before being mentioned by this poster.
Yes, i am very grateful for everything Tony Bloom has done for MY football club. All £350 million plus of it

You seem to be getting ironic thumbs up from Tommy, aged eleven, as if he's the son of old Potty. I wonder if they could be related?

Edit, to add, at least Potty is a real and proper Brighton supporter, though.

Weird thread this.

I should add, weird but enjoyable

Keep it civil please chaps

Boooo!

Agree, @Herr Tubthumper coming on here using the word weird isn’t called for.

Wonder if they were the same two I spotted in the north - not too far from the screen. The giveaway was the fact they were sat down and silent from the start looking a bit bewildered despite being in their 20s and in that section of the north stand.

Yes, that was them.

There were 3 near me who celebrated the first 2 Arsenal goals by leaping out of their seats and giving the finger to the home fans. The stewards were asked ( advised) to remove them and they did. Apparently on their way out one of the Arse was thumped.
Unbelievably this all happened in East Lower. I know you’ll scoff at that but I can assure you I see lots of offensive weapons there at each match - mainly walking sticks.

Threads like this always amuse me, I understand peoples frustrations that the home ends should be exactly that however as someone that has been a non league fan for many years and also having been to a good few major tournaments (the similarity between the two is fans often end up sitting/standing together, more often than not with very little ’bovver’)

thing is, while there are few issues at Internationals why do PL fans NEED to act like bell ends? I take comfort in the fact that those idiots we have been “too soft” with will one day overstep the mark at the wrong ground and the wrong block. The incident in the East Lower just after half time looked through my drunken eyes like a red faced angry Phil Mitchell (BHA) giving a shove to a smaller version of Rag N Bone Man (Arse) before getting yellow carded by the stewards (I might have dreamt this though)

I only just made the cut for Palace otherwise I would have once again attempted to source tickets in the wrong end, which I’ve done a few times in the last 15 years or so (I’m not sure why as I often regret it)
A few years back, being very drunk I ended up (with a Palace mate) right slap bang in the middle of that woah-woah! lot, I kept quiet, I don’t suppose it was respect, more self preservation, however word did get out in our little area of my existence and a couple of Palace lads commented on the fact I kept my mouth shut and remained motionless when the penalty went in (night match 1-1 2014??) so even for a pissed arse’ol like me it can be done.


i’m waffling now….. Happy New Year you all.

Ignoring the 2 trolls on this thread for a minute, have you ever attended Albion away and had to sit in the home end? I have several times. Was I ever ejected? No because I didn't act like a Roadman and loudly cheer and mention Albion players names every 20 seconds. I've got nothing against Arsenal fans sitting right next to me as long as they don't take the piss, alas far too many of them seemed to feel entitled enough to act as if they were at the Emirates. The other question it raises is were these tickets on the exchange or did Albion ST holders stupidly sell their tickets on ?

Did it annoy me and wind me up? Yes of course it did, I want to watch the match with Albion fans not with a couple of away nobbers r8ght behind me gobbing off and acting like dicks and then Increasing that behaviour when told to wind it in.

Strange at best

I didn't go last night but I'm pretty stunned at how bad this sounds. Back in the day if one away fan started giving it the biggun in the home end they would get a slap and rightfully so. Feels pretty cringe worthy that 'arsenal' fans who sound like they're from Sussex are celebrating in the home end.

Last night has really wound me up. I don't mind shipping 4 goals Vs a man city but arsenal, nahhh this is a team we normally beat!! Beginning to get an irrational hatred for the gunners. Especially as they have some of the worst fans around

Actually only three times. Twice at Elland Road 1979/1980 ish when my Dad preferred we keep our heads down. It looked a lot more lively in the away end (not in a good way) which rather proved Dad right. A few Leeds fans around us knew we were Brighton but we were a family and chatted to a few of them. I also ended up in the home end at the Old Den for the game where John Robinson was attacked by a Millwall fan whilst taking a throw. They were supposed to be away players family’s seats but they were in the section of the main stand next to that away corner terrace and one of the Millwall fans in our group didn’t fancy sitting there so moved to the next block.

Like I said, what seems like a good idea at the time……

I have a number of times for various reasons. I usually sit in their “main stand” and have always been discrete and never had any issues….apart from Stockport when some idiot realized me and the two others were Brighton and confronted us.

It’s a mildly amusing story. We were sat behind the directors box as the guy came up to us, giving it the big one for minute or so, before the stewards intervened. We had remained silent. He then engaged in even more theatrics when they arrived. I now decided to say “I just know you’re not going to hit me”. He asked why I knew…”because you had a minute to do so and you’d be utterly stupid to do it now” . He then calmed down and was escorted away. The stewards then apologized profusely.

They like to gang up like school kids Lenny, it’s pathetic. It’s always been the same, same names over and over again. Groundhog Day

Unfortunately, this happens on here as it does, to a much greater extent, on twitter. Like-minded folks with a history of favourable online interactions will gang-tackle a newbie who "steps out of line". Really, it's just done for amusement.
I've no idea whether he's a Brighton lurker or an Arse interloper.

 

[Seagull58]

What you are is banned from this thread for completely taking it over.

WTF! Have you seriously banned him for standing his ground after being accused of being an Arse interloper?
This is very bad form indeed.

@Guinness Boy already threatened to ban me , stamping his regime for daring to challenge him and his cronies. A bunch of sad bullies if you ask me .
