Fans debate

[The Frog]

and no im npt part of his "Mob"

[jonny72]

I find the number of people that seem to think bad behaviour is in anyway acceptable at a football match a worry, same for those that think giving the perpetuators a slap or a kicking is the solution. It wouldn't be acceptable at the cinema or a concert or anywhere else yet it seems to be ok at a football match. It's not so much the actions that trouble me, more the general attitude towards it of most so called football fans.

Just goes to show that we haven't really moved on much from the bad days of the 80's. Anyone that thinks there is even a remote chance of a return of terracing, even the safe variety, whilst it continues is living in cloud cuckoo land.

Are you serious?

crispy does crack me up but at least he is there week in week out instead of being sat behind a computer and reckoning they no more about the performances and club than he does ( i know alot of people cant make it because they dont live local) but as much as it may hurt people i see him every game and if it wasnt for people like him and me there would be no club

What people make of the club/performances has fuck all to do with this debate, it's whether Crispy and his pals behave like a bunch of cunts which no doubt they do, but lads on lager will always be cunts.

I'm assuming that you didn't go to football in the 80's if you think things haven't changed much.

From reading through the reactions on here to what has gone on I think that some of these would have shit themselves several times over if they had been going in those times.

Are you serious?

I hope not

So wrong Froggy!

One of the reasons people dont go is because off muppets like this mob..the other reason being the cost....no one has ever doubted Crispys love of the club or his knowledge of the club....it just seems he hangs around with a young bunch who think it is acceptable to piss people off,and it wares a bit thin when it looks like they are just antagonising people.
I for one take my hat of him for going.....it just takes some people longer to grow up and realise how stupid they look.

Jonny are you gerry stilton?

Thats the kind of stuff he used to come out with

You're clearly not a regular gig-goer then.

Nope....nor are old people and young kids.

I never had any problems at games during the 80's when I was a kid, don't remember us ever staying away from games due to the potential for trouble. You can't say the same nowadays as you can see from this thread.

Sure things have changed but I'm not convinced they are that much better. Plenty of people on here still think trouble is acceptable if they keep it to themselves and that the best solution is for the trouble makers to get a good kicking. How is that an improvement?

It's the underlying attitude that a lot of people have that is the big issue for me. I really don't get why going to a football match should be any different than anything else yet most people think it is. Until that changes the problems will remain.

The 'do what we like' attitude seems common though, a lot really don't give a fuck about anyone else anymore.

This is not exactly unique to a) football or b) young lads though is it?

No, but the behaviour seems almost acceptable to a lot of people when it is at a football match.

This thread is becoming a joke. Granted, there maybe a few idiots at Swindon games and it obviously upsets a couple of people but comparing it to 80's football violence is hilarious.

Either Jonny72 is on the wind up given that a few were already blowing this a little bit out of proportion, or he is completely out of touch.
