It's as if these players purposely play badly to annoy the fans, not that it's their livelyhood at stake or anything I recall a game on a rare occassion where I was sat in the mainstand "For fucks sake Boshell, you're sh*t!!!" "Get him off the pitch!!" Mate..... he's not on the pitch..... he's not even on the bench... Reminds me of Fester at Bury away one year. Slagging Kuqi loads. "Get off Kuqi, you're shit" - he wasn't even on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off off off was the chant. It was funny at the time I thought. Not so funny now looking back. Like has been said already, no player sets out to play pish. I’m not one for booing. A FFS under the breath suffices for me. Edited January 22, 2018 by simplythemostimportantkick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came from nowhere as did the 4-0 at Tranmere 3rd game of the season How come the toxic atmosphere from so early in the game then? So strange.

oafcprozac Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Whether he’d been shite or not doesn’t justify the shit he’d got he’d made about 10 appearances for us. second half of the season he was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stood next to a knobhead at Brizzle Rovers a few years back who was giving Dean Brill pelters before he'd even faced a shot in the warm up. He did shut up eventually; around about the 60th minute as I recall when someone threatened to "do him" if he didn't jack it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one guy screaming and screaming at Neil Pointon all the way through a match that he shouldn't be taking the corners because "you're f*cking shit, you are Pointon". That's the same Neil Pointon who scored 2 goals direct from corners. I would have set the guy straight but he was about 6'6" and seemed like a total pyscho, so I decided to take the safer approach and try to block out the sound of his voice. He had a very loud voice, and I failed. Edited January 22, 2018 by AlanGrovesFanClub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Unlike many of our moaners there's a certain magical je ne sais quoi to Fester's moaning which makes it a thing of sheer beauty. What a fucking legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a great clip of him on youtube getting hit by an incredibly late Roy Keane "tackle"... gets thrown up in the air, but dusts himself off, throws Keane a filthy look, then plays on... They don't make 'em like that any more. The commentator then says Keano was lucky not to get YELLOW carded... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
