Water off a duck's back Pete, I think he was just having a joke.
Hope so PG, hope so. I am a grandfather of three, and the sort of behaviour that he was referring to is something I abhor.
Could you imagine how you would feel if the watcher in Bay 48..was your daughter, grand daughter, girl friend, sister or wife!!!!
ok im guilty of abusing one NON-EELS player. I yelled out SOWARD U MILKMAN and he heard it I felt really bad.
Anyone else have the pleasure in sitting near the young lady (and I use that term loosely) who is a member in bay 48? You can't miss her if you do....
Seriously we're tossing up taking an exercise book and writing down some of her gems.
"Pass the ball you f**king piece of sh*t"
"Hayne you piece of sh*t, just run straight, don't do your step"
She also abuses players when they leave the field injured, and is starting to ruin the experience for the members that sit around her I'm sure.
I'm gonna f**king well swear all I like at the f**king footy and if you don't like it you can go and get f**ked!
f**king Bra boys!!!
Yeah f**k em too!
Ps don't tell them I said this.
:lol:
Pete, Lingard and suity will probably vouch for this, but as a pup, i distinctly remember the cumberland oval crowd in the late 70's being extremely abusive at times to our players if they were precieved to be not putting in..
Parra fans have traditionaly been hard task masters, especially to the new boys who needed to prove themselves to the cumberland crowd.
Mud, beer cans used to fly. BUT from memory it was at the referees, and opposition.
Had to instal barbed wire. Foul language was not the norm in those times.
Never YELLED out words like Fxxx or Cxxxs. I think it is sad that it happens now...but I guess that's the way Society is now.
If it keeps going Micky, it'll happen. Can't see it stopping.
Might bring a sock for her next week...
