The Blue and Gold Army Swarm Report

[PJ Marshal]

You only wanted that so I could keep buying you drinks all night you f**king qld'er tight arse.
You owe me so many beers it ain't funny.

Suity

yeah i probably do haha, ill let you have that one! Do you want me to write you a cheque, so you can cash in at the stadium for some beer

tbh I'm sorta with stagger on this, he goes to the footy to watch and cheer his team, not sing and dance and smack musical instruments, that's his right, his choice, his way of enjoying a day out at the footy.

HOWEVER...

The aforementioned Mr. Bongo Esquire, must be given his due props for attempting to inspire the crowd into a more atmospheric way of supporting the team, by (dubious) music and song/chants. If I read his summary correctly, he stated that some Eels "fans" started bagging on the boys as Manly piled the points on, only to about face some 40 or so minutes later, to come to the fence bitch-smackin' bongos when the tide was turning/had turned.

Mr. Bongo imo would have been quite within his rights to tell those particular "fans" to sod off, instead he welcomes them with open arms and bongos, the boys do the bongo proud and a great day is had by most if not all.

There is potential here for something great, the fact the club appears to be supporting it cannot be ignored without giving it a red hot one first.

So to summarise, I look forward to banging your bongo in Queensland, Sir, if you'll let me.

Daniel Anderson gave the boys a bit of a spray too. There is nothing wrong with having a go at them, im sure they can handle it.

surely you're not suggesting that a halftime spray by a coach is in any way similar to a crowd booing it's own team

The comparison im making is that if someone has a go at one of the players, it does not necessarily mean they have stopped supporting the side, player or club.

I openly yelled out that Matt Keatings kick vs the Dragons was sh*t. My words were "THAT WAS sh*t MATT!". Im sure Mr Bongo heard alot worse things said then that, but a player can choose to react to whats said in what ever way he likes.

Years ago, when I played, some woman from the touchline yelled out to me "stop coming out of the line you idiot". Halftime, the coach said to me (privately) "stop coming out of the line you idiot". I could either a) get upset or b) stop being an idiot and stop coming out of the line.

I completely agree with regards to Mr Stagger and his rights and choice as a spectator and I completely accept that Chants etc are not for everyone. Although the majority seemed to enjoy them at the time I know also that not everyone will be pleased. So are the apparent majority enjoying the enhanced atmosphere and decibels to stop such vocal activities for the few whom are displeased by it ? Well I find that to be an interesting question as I believe I have the right to make as much noise at the footy as I like but others have just as much of a right to not have to put up with it. So in escence I know no right answer here so I chose to simply exercise what I believe to be my right and hope that others may understand.
I was told by the father of a couple of little girls that it was the highlight of their day to play my bongo and he is not the only one to give me such feedback. If I upset one or two adults but make only one child happy at their expense I can live with that.
In response to your question I look forward to sharing my Bongo with you and anyone else who supports the Eels but would rather that the Bongos multiplied and look even more forward to that.
