Greatest fans in the the world under investigation

[TomandJerry]

"A Football Association (FA) inquiry is under way after concerns over crowd chants at a Portsmouth v Reading game were raised by the referee.

Reading winger Nick Blackman spoke to officials following the incident at Fratton Park on Tuesday.

Hampshire police said it concerned "chanting believed to be directed towards a player from Reading".

The club said it was helping the FA with its inquiries over the League Cup second round clash, won by Reading 2-1.

The FA said it took all allegations "very seriously" but would not specify the nature of the incident.

During a break in play just before half-time, Blackman was seen pointing towards a corner of the ground.

Hampshire Constabulary has a zero tolerance approach towards verbal abuse which could be seen as racist or homophobic in these circumstances, however no individual was identified."

The complaint was that they were probably too LOUD. Truly the greatest and most passionate fans in the world.

That must be it

Just spoke to my Pompey mate. Apparently Pompey fans were shouting 'HOOF' every time the Reading team launched it forward. The Reading player has misinterpreted this as monkey chants.

Sounds like the seig hiel scandal.

Can't be whiter than white Pompey cheeky characters Shirley?

I think with our own arrogance and sickly back slapping we must have surpassed pompey and leeds to be the greatest fans in the world

That has to be it, we're truly lucky to be in the same league system as they are.

The prospect of one day having the honour of hosting them at the AMEX is truly exciting. Sure, it won't measure up to the sheer majesty of Fratton but hopefully they'll be ok slumming it for a bit.

No arrogance and sickly back slapping amongst the people I know. No guilt by association here

There, that's better.

There, that's better.

Another good example

I've been hearing for a year and a half now that the greatest fans in sport are St Louis Cardinal fans. Do I have that correct, Barry?. They actually use it as a team slogan, I believe.

I heard the chant was useless plastics.

or POOF ?

Possibly, I have no other information, just passing on what I was told.

Unbelievable that this wasn't sorted before all concerned went public and made themselves look stupid

 

[Surf's Up]

Wouldn't be anything to do with the bodily odour emanating from one bare chested bell ringing bell end Pompey fan would it??

Only if you managed to eat a pulled pork bap supplied by our wonderful caterers last season. The back slapping certainly stopped me choking but didn't rule out the feeling sickly bit. Not sure where the arrogance comes in though.

Permit me to correct a terrible omission in this thread.

That's better.
