[Albion] I hoped for more, Grimsby

[BN41Albion]

Was all for them until the throwing stuff on the pitch got silly and the chant of " where were you when you were shit " .

Come on - a bit of banter.. they didn't have much to cheer during the game

 

[Clive Walker]

They created an atmosphere. Good on them.

 

[Swansman]

Could probably have been more intense and rowdy than it appeared on the telly if it wasn't for the early goal. Kind of sucked out their belief and hopes (at least on the pitch, no idea in the stands obviously).

Agreed; the ones I spoke to before the match were sound, but some of there chants showed a lack of class considering we didn't take the p1ss out of them. I couldn't see who they were directing it at but I haven't heard "get yer t1ts out for the lads" since 1984...

 

[faoileán]

Still an excellent showing from the Grimsby support. Yes a few Herbert's in there but given the number of classless tits in our stands giving wanker signs and other larging from a position of complete safety.
I mean if you're stuffing a big team or at least one in the same league all week and good, bit punching down that far just doesn't sit right.

Really? I didn't see any of that going on in WSL, and I didn't hear any piss take chants either...

To be fair, you did have a lovely pair back then.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

To be fair a bit of paper isn’t going to hurt anyone. The ref made a mistake in reporting it - just made it a thing.

Remember a game years ago probably in the 70s where a ref made a big thing about a ‘phantom whistler’ in the crowd and kept stopping the game to try and find the villain. The following weekend, every game had hundreds of phantom whistlers.

I couldn't give two shits about the few wankers within their support - we all have them, eh?
Just chuffed for them to have reached this far, and I hope (despite the result) they had a good and hassle-free time, down here.

f*** ‘Em.

Grimsby looked what they are - a division 4 side. What pleased.me was that we looked what we are - a team with top 4 aspirations.

As for their support, they were out of the game from the off. We had a presentable chance before they had even touched the ball and took less than 6 minutes to start the rout. One or two classless chants but I've heard all sorts of shit chants from our support down the years, so won't be holding that against their entire fanbase.

 

[Oh_aye]

Well done for getting this far, and I'd hoped for more of a game from you. Lovely fans, and I wish you well in the League and a safe journey home.

I thought their team played well really. Really compact, defended well and went In at HT at 1-0. Pretty commendable. Didn't fall into any of our traps. They breathy only came apart at 2-0 when they started to leave spaces.

You've seen the Albion now f*** off home..

Really? There was loads of it, and it was coming at players as they were playing. Total dickhead, moronic behaviour. Loving all the 'bit of banter' shouts on here. The players clearly didn't agree. What should the ref do? Hope it doesn't become anything worse and wing it? They're a club on a shoe string and are probably going to get fined now and rightly so.

Some of their chants were beyond small time - makes no difference that we may have done it before. It was pathetic then too.

Again one to one they were fine but it's not OK to watch players have things landing all around them when they are taking corners and thrown in and the ball boys sent to clean it up were getting stuff luzzed at them too. Pathetic behaviour.

Few drunk mouthy homophobic twats in the coach park whilst we were queueing for the Mill Hill P&R bus.

What about the satsumas? There were 3 chucked on that I saw, and I didn't know they ate fruit up there...

That was genuinely weird. The satsuma situation.

Not sure I like that one, too similar to Leeds chanting you’re only here to see The Leeds

Right. But it's all about context. After 10 minutes of 'we forgot that you were here/library/when you were shìt'. This is what you get in response.

How were the Grimsby fans, though?

 

[birthofanorange]

That’s a big ask. There are plenty of PL teams who don’t give us much of a game at the moment.

True, but it was a Cup match - it's different.
