Crap that people shout at football

[AFaceInTheCrowd]

These characters must exist at every club and can brighten up even the most mundane of game.

There's a bloke near me who continually shouts for Notts to "Gerrit forward!" And then shouts nothing but obscenities when a centre back pumps it forward with an aimless punt upfield.

There's another clown who shouts for the keeper to "get some fucking snow on it!" Each time he's about to kick it out of his hands an rather predictably we lose possession for the 876th time in a game but a keeper rolls it out he descends into an uncontrollable rage! Hilarious to watch.

The same bloke thinks it's a conspiracy if a foul is given against Notts even if we have just committed the sort of agricultural challenge where their winger is still lucky to have a leg and the refs bottled it an given a yellow! I sit most games and wonder how anyone could just be that angry!

When I was a kid I used to sit in the Main Stand with my Dad (he used to get me in for free the tight twat) and a guy behind us used to shout 'come on Town these are shit' every game no matter who we were playing, quite funny hearing it when we were playing Spurs with Linekar up front and them dicking us 3-0.

 

[les.gtfc]

Not really what people shout at football but the one thing that gets me is when commentators say "They both went for the "SAME" ball.

There is only one ball ffs. Can anyone explain to me what difference having the word "same" in the sentence makes. Surely. "they both went for the ball" would be exactly the same.

 

[Luke Imp]

A guy sat not too far from me, quite a few years ago now, kept berating the linesman every game for not putting his flag up for offside on a striker from a GK.

Eventually, and I'm talking months later, someone pointed out to him that you can't be offside from a GK.

 

[Greenacres]

There are several people sat near me who shout "second ball" whenever the keeper kicks the ball forward. Considering the post above, from les.gtfc, about players going for the same ball...maybe there is a second ball on the pitch but my eyesight is so dodgy that I've never noticed.

I have heard people shout abuse directed at a particular player, which was definitely heard by the person it was directed at, last season Charlie Cooper was on the receiving end and a couple of seasons back it was Elliott Frear.

Hahahaha I think every single kid who was a Town fan sat in the Main Stand in the 90s because their dads were tight. Sometimes got a Findus Upper ticket for a treat if it was a cup game. That one you mention though, the Spurs 3-0 I was on the terrace in the makeshift corner bit sat on one of the rails with a scarf tied around it propped up by old man.

 

[beltzaetazuria]

One strange thing that sticks in my mind was at a boring game v Gillingham in the early 70s it was deathly quiet and someone in the paddock shouted 'Ho Chi , Ho Chi Minh '

 

[Fishpimps <{{{><]

No more than 10 secs into every game, the season ticket holder next to me shouts “ ‘king hell town they’re all over us, get stuck in”
To be fair most of last season this was true though!

 

[GTFCfish]

I posted this in the match thread at the time but I’ll put it here as it’s relevant to the thread, our game v Notts County a guy right behind me in the Ponny was calling fuck out of Jamille Matt shouting he was shit and he should never wear the shirt again. Then as Summerfield was about to run up to take the corner in injury time he shouted ‘prove me fucking wrong Matt’, and 2 seconds later Matt duly obliged!

The one that gets to me is , the simple but almost always inappropriately mistimed ‘Get Out’ shouted by many for the Notts defence and midfield to push up.

This is shouted when we have desperately cleared it straight to one of their defenders, yet the shout still happens. Even though that would be defensive suicide to push out and leave space behind.

Drives me nuts, there is a time and a place (a situation) when you turn the opposition, play it beyond and behind. It isn’t suitable every time you clear a ball from deep.

A guy near me shouts almost every game “(insert opposition managers name) you’ve got a bunch of animals here” even though Notts are or nearly as physical as anyone at this level. The worst part for me is when he does his other 90s classic about visiting specsavers’ the people around it chuckle and lap it up . Only encouraging him more, I’m blame them fully!

So many are so biased in the Main stand at Notts , that I regularly have to say out loud “it’s a foul” when we commit one and everyone moans.

 

[shoddycollins]

There's a guy stands near me in the Warwick who spends the entirety of every game criticising every single player and every piece of play to his friend, often based on no evidence whatsoever, like a player coming on for his debut, and this guy will already be able to say with total confidence he's shit.

There's a guy also who views every opposition player going down as a dive, and then spends the rest of the game shouting at him whenever he's on the ball 'why don't you go down, you'll get a free-kick/penalty?'

 

[Habbinalan]

Fellow Habbinites will know what I mean when I just say Seamus.

He was at his peak in our non-league days with Jon Challinor regularly on our side of the pitch. He had many catchphrases (most refs proved themselves cheats at some stage) but the cries of "Challenger" have crept into our banter even though both have been absent for a few seasons.

You get a lot of fans grumbling because they have no grasp of football. Another I've noticed is that fans always seem to think that a goal kick should go straight down the middle, into the attacking third, and haven't noticed that pretty much every goalkeeper at every level will kick it out to one side to about the half-way line most of the time.

Yes, let's always kick it straight to the area of the pitch where the opposition are best in the air and in the direction where the opposition have the greatest chance to intercept it and get through on goal.

 

[Chris FGR]

People who shout "shoot" every time a player is within 50 yards of goal are annoying..

 

[GTFCfish]

I remember in our play off win v FGR i kept hearing this one FGR fan shouting 'were gonna smash you Grimsby as we're head and shoulders above you'...........

 

[beltzaetazuria]

Back again in the 70s and 80s, a guy who used to stand behind us , when there had been a bad foul but the ref didn't get his book out, would shout 'what's up ref, can't you spell twat? '

 

[Greenacres]

I remember in our play off win v FGR i kept hearing this one FGR fan shouting 'were gonna smash you Grimsby as we're head and shoulders above you'...........

Let's face it, as this thread is proving, most clubs have fans who are somewhat divorced from reality. I went that play-off final knowing we would need to produce something special to win, we didn't and the result was a fair one...however, I did think we were in with a better chance against Tranmere and on that occasion I think we were worthy winners.

And as I said at the time, that's the last last but 2 time Grimsby will ever beat us.

 

[Vanni]

'Anywhere will do'. Well no, not really.

 

[GTFCfish]

‘Hurst out’

 

[Vanni]

‘Hurst out’

Haha. Say fish, did you also want Hurst out at the time? Honestly, I don't remember what your position was on this matter.

Sorry for derailing this thread but IIRC, Frealaf was pro Hurst, SOC was on the fence (?), while Clarkey and Lew were deffo in the Hurst out camp.

 

[The_Boss]

"Meat pie, sausage roll, come on rovers, give us a goal", shouted no one ever in Nailsworth.

Does anyone ever shout that?

We never did pre-Vince, and our pies were quality.

I was pro Hurst, a few bits about him were quite annoying but I never wanted him out.

Please stop.

[Plumbob]

"We've got Alex Woodyard, he never gives the ball awaaay"
Cracking player, but he did, quite often.

An old fella behind me, 5 or 6 times every game "you need glasses referee"

 

[Chris FGR]

People who chant "Your support is fucking shit" at opposition fans.

Our fans sing 'it's all your fault' at opposition keepers after every goal they let in if its at the Pontoon end.
