Anyone else sit near idiots at the Amex?

There's better managers than that who didn't play professionally, but that's not really the point. It's more the ridiculous notion that Knockheart is going to hear me bellow "GIVE IT TO BRUNO" and think. "Great suggestion, I wouldn't have thought of that, I'll play it straight to him". It's an odd concept.

I agree, it is an odd concept.

Passing it to Murray would be the better suggestion.

PS Struth won a total of 73 trophies during his career, making him the most decorated manager in British football history. Not bad for someone who never played the game professionally.

The guy I used to sit next to was a proper bar steward about players who weren't white. Thought it was funny. He was harmless, meaning that whoever's turn it was to tell him to stfu wasn't met with any aggression, he just went silent. Harmless is stretching it though, saying "look at that n****r haha" is out of order.

The two people who sitbeside me couldn't make it on Friday, so i had two newbies next to me. They arrived five minutes after kick off (fair enough, cis the trains were a nightmare,) but they left their seats on the 39th minute, and didn't come back.
Who goes to a football match and only stays 35 minutes?

I sit near a Welsh man who shouts get it in the onion bag loudly every time we attack. Whenever I look around at him he's got a big grin on his face and immediately catches my eye. I swear he does it to wind me up and he succeeds.

Someone near me at Withdean used to say loudly "That's it mate, pass it to yer bruvver" every time a black player gave the ball to another black player (whether Albion players or opposition)

I also remember when Wolves came to town and had a South Korean in the side. He spent the game calling out "Ahhhh, twenty two, forty one, special fried rice" etc. It's a special kind of xenophobia when you can't even get the country right

Did he have a West Country accent? The fella who I sat next to was from Hereford.

It's disgusting. Do people think it's funny?

I don't have anything like that to complain about at the Amex. My only misfortune, however, is to sit in the row with the weakest bladders in the stadium. Up, down, up, down, up, down they go. Always leave before half time to use the toilets, yet somehow are always last back. Always last to their seats at the start and always the first to leave at the end. Frustrating when the rest of us just want to watch the game.

Some even get banned from here for it.

Edna, I believe my five pints before the game - one pint at half time - and several at the end of the match contribute to the clubs coffers.


Being sixty I do have a weak bladder tho

Yeah, and thankfully, that's not who I am, it was regrettable, and awful. It was many things, and I apologised.

 

[Yes Chef]

Me and my cohorts spent the first few seasons in the North, just behind a little section of right miserablists. They used to hate Ashley Barnes, and only really became animated when things were going wrong. I respected them because they rocked up week in week out, but I couldn't understand their mindset. We had words on occasion, and I was incessantly positive just to piss them off.
We moved to the West upper last season(unrelated to the miseries) and we were the idiots, too boisterous/sweary/drinky. The view was great, but we didn't fit in - now we're back in the North, row z to the side of the big screen, and everyone's great - feels like we could be there for some time....

Football is a funny thing really, isn't it? You have a guy on the pitch who is probably five times as good as any one of the 30,000 people watching, has had some of the best coaching available for the last 20 years, plays football ever single day, and is so good he is paid thousands of pounds a week to do it. Then you have a load of people, the vast majority of which have never played at a remotely similar standard, who all stand there and shout instructions at him, and tell him what to do.

Imagine going through the theatre and bellowing orders at the actors. Or sitting on a plane and shouting to the pilot to bank right or something.

(I'm as guilty as anyone for shouting instructions at the players by the way, but if you take a step back and look at it from the outside, it's a funny concept). They must think it's ridiculous.

I do tend to whisper.........V1...............Rotate, to myself at take off just to make sure the Pilot is doing it right.

Got to admit I've been zealously checking this thread to see if anyone is moaning about me, as I do come out with some rubbish. Especially guilty of shouting "OFF OFF" if an opposition player has even touched a Seagull.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Got a bloke a few rows behind me (west upper) who constantly shouts "Go forward" or "Kick it forward" ect. Does not matter if we are 3-0 up or 3-0 down that is all his says whilst any of our defenders have the ball. I know football is all about opinions but how clueless do you have to be to think that's how football works. Its also quite funny when we do go long ball and lose it, only to hear him moaning again. Anyone else?

Ah, West Upper F?

If not then I sit near his twin.

The last few weeks he's started having the men immediately infront of him turn round and start arguing with him about his CONSTANT negativity

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

In really tense moments, say a corner kick to the opposition in the last minute, when everyone around me is losing their shit, I like to break the tension with random questions.

"If you could only eat one vegetable for the rest of your life, what would it be?".

I'm amazed I haven't seen me on this list yet.

I'm WORRIED that the SINGLE seat NEXT to me MIGHT end up being SOLD to SOMEONE who is too STUPID to put his DATE OF BIRTH in to a computer SYSTEM.

Are you my ten year old son? He does exactly that

No it's got to be the guy in WSU block A, in a middle row. He does this loudly, whenever the ball is in the Albion half, pretty well whatever's happening on the pitch and irrespective of what it makes most sense for the players to do. A back pass to Stockdale, or even a pass between two of the back four has him almost apoplectic. I really think that watching a rugby match would kill him.

I've been looking for me as well. Although my problem is my choice language. This is usually aimed at the opposition or the ref.
