Even without the racist shit .. watching a game amongst souths supporters is truly painful fullstop! Its constant ooohing and aaaahing at every f**king play or ref call , generally because they have zero knowledge or understanding of the rules of rugby league or they are demented halfwits like Alien20 .
Totally agree. We’re generalizing here as there’s dickhead fractions in every supporter base but souths are by far the worst. Easily the most hostile and irrational I’ve ever come across.
I still remember when we played them in 2012/13 the week after Inglis KOed Dean Young in that sickening shoulder charge which left him unconscious and strectchered off. They played the highlights from that game on the big screen and all the souths fans cheered the loudest when that vision came on, then proceeded to yell obscenities about Young.
I had my 15 year old cousin (girl) come from the country to a game in 2011. She’s not even a Tigers fan, supports Saints, and had the nerve to wave cheer a tigers try. A souths fan sitting across the isle told her to ‘shut your f**king mouth’ literally all she did was cheer, didn’t say a word to anyone.
I went with a group of mates went to the March for souths in 99. A mate who’s a Dragons fan wore his saints jersey. Numerous souths fan abused him and called him ‘merged scum’, I don’t mean one, I mean this would have happened 20-30 times. He was there to support them staying in the comp FFS
I know they’re an easy target because they obviously have the lowest socio economic demograph of fans but looking at souths fans is what I imagine a trailer park in 1980s Alabama would have been like.
