Would you care to be more specific about my friends?

Yeh, he is acting a right cock.

If someone called one of my mates a grass, did a runner and went on the defensive I would be mightily pissed off.

The atmosphere was only good because most of NSP's 'stay at home' brigade was in the house.

I was good to see the NSP posse ( or should that be pussy)

some friends

They are indeed.

I heard alot of horn blowing, if there was any signing it was probabily drowned out by that. There was some kids banging an ad hording trying to create an atmosphere in the family stand, but didn't really hear any signing and chanting

You must be deaf mate. We were singing thu out most of the game in the family stand.

 

[The Large One]

I started a chant yesterday, specifically aimed at Billy Sharp. It went something like this...

moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan

Even Nigel Atkins was laughing.

Dunno where you were sitting, but the atmosphere in D block was brilliant.

Just a shame sound doesn't carry there.

Fork Me

a 'brilliant' atmosphere?

i can only assume withdean is the only football ground you've ever visited- get out more.

 

[Common as Mook]

Great atmosphere, shame about the c unts in E block abusing Joe Gatting. Absolutely disgraceful

I have to agree there.

E-Block (where I sit), is full of some of the biggest moaners I've ever heard, with their current prime targets being: Joe Gatting, Alex Frutos, any goalkeeper who isn't Michel Kuipers, Nick Ward and Adam El-Abd.

If the view weren't so good (just to one side of the halfway line), I'd move when it comes time to renew my ST.

H is the best place in the stands.

You get all the goal mouth action, moon dancing, Cox bending over for a corner kick and players walking in to the dressing room when they are sent off

1) It's called 'moonwalking' not 'moon dancing'

2) Why does Dean Cox bending over make any difference to your football watching experience?

3) The way to the dressing room is on the other side of the pitch. You'd need to sit in the end block of the North Stand to have any discernable advantage in seeing sent-off players leaving the pitch.

4) You would surely only get half the goal mouth action (give or take) at that end. Wouldn't it better to sit roughly in the middle and get an equal view of both ends?

The Scunthorpe player refused to leave yesterday and sat on the bench. He had to be escorted to the dressing room and so passed by the end blocks on the running track. It's the only time I have seen that happening.

Part of the problem here was the inert referee who sent him off to the bench as opposed to the changing rooms.

 

[Yorkie]

I thought he was having a whinge about El Abd but he was sent off for the foul on Gatting anyway.
