Whatever happened to witty comments at the football?

[Spun Cuppa]

It seems all we get up there now is people moaning about people moaning/swearing...

Is it me, or has the art of the rib-cracking, mirth engendering witty comment gone by the board?

I remember being on The East Terrace at TGG and many times in a game, during a quiet bit, someone would crack a genuine funny that would go down a storm!

I don't know if was just a terrace thing, and perhaps didn't happen in the seats?

Seems to have gone a bit these days

You should sit next to me, I'm f***ing hilarious.

 

[Fungus]

IMHO, it was a terrace thing, with people mixing more.

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

perhaps you sit in a humour vacuum? very possible at the withers.

I remember a classic from the West Stand at the Goldstone.

Oi! Grealish! let's see some magic!

f***ing disappear!

See, we used to moan at players back then, as well.

One of my favourites was on the East Terrace and after a tussle for the ball a voice was heard shouting at Brian Tawse that right Brian use your weight and if you remember him you would appreciate it.

''Hit him with your handbag Kit''.................. some bloke used to shout every time K.Napier was fouled. it must have been an east terrace thing.

"Taxi for Minton!" from someone in the North Stand circa 1995. People just don't write material like that any more.

Again Brian Tawse chased a ball down to the south end eventually collected by the keeper, the "bloke behind me" shouts, "keep running Tawse straight into the bloody sea"

The best one I can recall was from the Southwest terrace. There was a group of middleaged blokes who seemed to cluster around one particular white haired guy who looked like he held sway in that particular area. He would sometimes say something whereupon one of his cronies would shout it out hoping for a laugh. Well, on one occassion, one crony took it upon himself to shout out 'Connor, your a f**king Wanker'. Whereupon literally nanoseconds later the aforementioned Connor scored a goal. The whitehaired guy quickly chirped in 'if he's a wanker then I hope he cums again'.

 

[Scotty Mac]

dont get it very much at withdean - at away games you get the occasional CLASSIC

the older blokes who go and watch cheltenham and stand in front of the main stand come out with some PEARLERS however

On a similar theme, also emanating from the West Stand (possibly the same mouth)...

Oi! WILKINS! do something magic!

Disappear

Was there a little bloke with glasses among this motley crew, often with a very large camera. Although little he had a very loud voice, we nicknamed him "the librarian". Tall white haired guy was well spoken and early/late season would often seem to have interrupted watching the Cricket down the road to come to the Goldstone. Happy days.
