garcon Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Try sitting next to the drum in the chaddy and then form an opinion..... I sat in the Lookers Upper. Does that absolve me of the right to have an opinion too? I did sit directly in front of the drummer at Doncaster as it happens. Now I wouldn't like to be that close every game, but I survived. I simply cannot believe the whiners and moaners are keeping this thread going this long. You will NOT get the drum banned, and you will achieve NOTHING until we get into the season and we all know where the drummer is. It strikes me that the ones who are desperately trying to keep the controversy bubbling are the ones with personality disorders. Can't you just give it a feckin rest for a couple of months and enjoy the summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not suggesting it absolves anyone from an opinion.....just that opinion may well drastically change if you actually experienced what it is like for someone sat next to it..... Yeah you survived...but like you said...you wouldnt like to have to survive week in week out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for me someone who sits in the lookers or main stand turnign around to me saying....oh shut up moaning, i like the drum....really isnt aware of just how unenjoyable it is for the people sat around it..... Its like the kids dad....let him play it....just as he walks to the otherside of the chaddy! Edited June 5, 2008 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 You also sit in the lookers upper acording to your profile.... Try sitting next to the drum in the chaddy and then form an opinion..... Because I sit in the Lookers Upper means that I have never sat next to a drum - and therefore I am not in a position to make an opinion? How you get to that conclusion is beyond me!

I did read your post properly. I can hardly comment on what you've not posted! I'm no drummer, percussionist (etc) but a great big drum is indeed a great big drum - and I've been in the vicinity of quite a few similar instruments at sporting events. The atmosphere was brilliant. So yes, I can comment. Perhaps it's not the drum but the fans, I yearn for a continental approach to supporting our team.

It's not just a Mediterranean thing though Ed. I think it's just the outlook of the UK fans, we are so grey about our footy. And of course, the UK is the only place where football fans work machinery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, the UK is the only place where football fans work machinery. of course it is,lol it was meant as a counter to your more continental style approach... the trouble is in the uk it really is black and white.the most you get at games is singing and clapping,there are one or two exceptions of course and a party atmosphere is present and makes for a great match experience. but most football fans just want to watch the game cheer occasionally and call the ref a w@nker!!! one of the best games i have witnessed was in majorca a few years ago..there was singing clapping drums trumpets hooters scarf waving and so on for the most of the game,it was a fantastic experience and the team responded accordingly..... just over here it will never happen,people are too stuck in there ways and creatures of habit,and not receptive to change.

Stevie_J Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Anyone who brings a drum to a football match has a personality disorder. And anyone who thinks it's good is a moron. Burn it. Who needs DSM-IV with you around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now put your dummy back in Apology accepted. I apologise for calling you a dunce. I meant backup with respect to insults. Calling someone an idiot on a messageboard is just a cowards act in my world.
