Sorry mate, my mistake.
I meant to ask what you thought of the 'FWO'...
I can honestly tell you that when Westie and I were spraypainting that first "FWO" banner (BLITZY FITZY) in early 2005, the sole reason behind it was to have a dig at the anti-fitzy fans out there by continuing the 'pranks' that we were told fitzy did to many players at a the club (ala. Brian Carney).
Do I think fitzy is a good player? not really
Do I think he is good enough for first grade? not really, but there are times where he is best suited to be in first grade
Originally the whole "BLITZY FITZY" banner idea was a 'spur of the moment" thing that was done whilst laughing about how it would piss off people like Simon the Tiger, Ink, RifRaf and Black & Gold (who constantly bagged Fitzy when he played in 2004) in a friendly tounge-in-cheek way. For all of 2005 we went through the season with no one really giving a toss about it as it was really just myself beeting up Fitzy and most people knew it was just a joke. When ever anyone said he was crap, i said he was good... purely for the fun of it; sarcasticly. Most people knew that, yet sadly amid the frustrations of poor team performances and some real shockers from Fitzy, people attacked the FWO. Why? Although they didn't realise it, they probably felt it was a way to vent their frustrations without actually attacking Fitzy himself.
This year more people jumped on the bandwagon. Whilst we may have taken it a little too far, we havn't gone astray from the original intention of knowing that when ever we held up the banners or put on the T-Shirts, we were having a dig at those fitzy bashers.
During one of last years player days, Robbie Farah and Fitzy joked about the FWO to us. When all the players wrote down that they hated fitzy because he was a prankster, it was just more funny justification for continuing on his jokester ways amoungst the fans. The reception by the players has been somewhat supprising. Not only are they all aware of it, but they play along with it. They do the Fitzy pose when they see us... i mean isn't that at least something to laugh about??????
At the end of the day though, its just a joke. We know that, Fitzy knows that, the players know that and most of the fans know that. Yet when people like Mulvi take it serriously then it just plays into the whole scheme of it all.
it was set up ENTIRELY as a joke
and since when are jokes supposed to be taken serriously?
from my point of view, it just seems as though the anti-FWO's have a problem with the chicken crossing the road.
we are still laughing for the same reasons that we were when we first spray-painted "BLITZY FITZY" and I don't think the anti-FWO's realise that
and the more the anti-FWO bash us (as it seems that the bashing has shifted away from Fitzy towards us), the more we'll do it. We are all laughing and having a great time cheering fitzy on knowing perfectly well that the anti-FWO's are getting angrier by the moment purely because they see that abusing us is a way to vent off their anger at the inept tallents of a player.
really its quite sad.
Some of the stuff that we have done is sad (t-shirts, fitzy-websites), but not realising the joke is the saddest part of it all.
both parties are guilty
but its a joke
grow up
move on...
there are more important things in the world to worry about
