Let's take a stand against the Withdean Moaners

[Addiseagull]

No, but you can move the opposition around, eventually create space and opportunities to go forward WITHOUT resorting to a hit and hope. Some of our breaks were delightful, just one pass through the middle, a clever lay-off from murray and we're away.

But instead we get the comments like "get it forward!" and another favourite of the old duffer: "We're not WINNING you know" - in other words, hit the panic button and start lumping it quick for christs sake.

I LOVE the patience Gus has instilled in the side. Its pass, pass, pass until we eventually wear sides down and score. It might take an hour or more, but eventually our quality usually tells. Its a fabulous brand of football, and you have to be some kind of FLID not to enjoy watching it.

Its highly unusual to see it at this level, but it HAS been done...who remembers Fulhams rise up the leagues under Keegan and Tigana ? (OK micky actually started it by getting them out of the 4th, but those two instilled the exciting passing game that swept them from the 3rd division to the Prem, abeit with more spent on the team).
Its THE way to play.

This.

People pay their money and are entitled to whinge if they want...the trick is to either ignore them, engage them in conversation or batter them with a wet haddock....that is your choice.

And don't get me started on the price of wet fish

I think we found one of the Gus abusers, and no i dont think been to a west ham game in home end, because i dont support West Ham, im purely a brighton fan.
Have no interest in either, good my comments got a reaction off you, does it feel good to be a half empty glass kind of person ? must get so much satisfaction out of life. Not

Oh get over yourselves.

There will always be a section of people who have a different opinion to you...I take it you all remember the West Stand at the Goldstone the amount moaning from which I have never seen since. Has anyone been to west ham as a "home fan"? you wouldn't believe the negativity.

If Gus takes exception to people expressing an opinion, he is in the wrong job.

And what is all this bullshit about peopel coming to Falmer and not moaning....the initial " this stadium is fecking fantastic" will soon wear off if the team are getting dicked every week. This is just the way football fans are. One minute the team are the greatest thing since sliced bread ( the Man City game) and the next, they are totally shite ( the mansfield game).

People pay their money and are entitled to whinge if they want...the trick is to either ignore them, engage them in conversation or batter them with a wet haddock....that is your choice.

..and garethjames...wind your kneck in

I sit on the edge of blocks C and D so can hear moans from both.

I do try and shout sarcastic things like "Stop keeping the ball and just kick it forward and give it away".

But some people are BEYOND help.

Sit in G and it was the same there .... seemed to be the older generation moaning who basically like it up em hoofball .... not use to passing footy.
Like others i'm sure they would prefer us to be bottom playing cloud ball all the time
