Anyone Else Sat Near a Knobhead or Knobheads?

[BigBed]

I trust you have the remote?

Obviously, but I get death stares during the soaps, I'm only free to use it for personal gain when I hear the eastender or corporation street theme tune!

 

[Jan Age]

If anyone expects to visit any football ground and not hear any foul language then they are severely deluded.

Also, if you pack 27,000 in one small place chances are someone close by will piss you off.

To hear some they would rather have it like a library.

People pay their money and are entitled to voice their opinion in whatever way they see fit.

Make your peace with it and as long as it doesn't cross the line in to something more serious remember we are all Blades!

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Sometimes I wonder if I'm getting more intolerant as I get older, or are people really getting more cuntish? Two of these examples are going out for a pub meal, and (despite the fact I love flying) people on planes.

Totally mate. As I've mentioned on another thread, we were on a 9am flight to Majorca a few weeks back and my 5 and 2 year old were excited to be on a plane but this was nearly ruined by a bunch of scouse 'women' and a bunch of blokes all of whom were so pissed, loud, obnoxious and larey - they tried their best to ruin it. Thankfully iPads and headphones meant only me, Mrs M and 80% of the flight who were families, had the start to our holiday ruined.

There are thundercunts everywhere these days. You just have to crack on sadly...

I'm of the view that if you have one dedicated area for Families and then you knowingly purchase a ticket for said area, the least you can do is respect that.

Took my 5 year on the kop for a game last season and the language and anger was a bit much, so I won't sit there with him until he's much older. Simples.

For the same reason I won't take him on away days. Don't expect others to wind it in, but do expect those who knowingly buy tickets for the Family Stand to at least stay a wee bit calmer...

 

[Houston_Blade]

There was one when I was much younger and sat in the family stand, he shouted "come on you red and white wizaaaaards" every 5 minutes and then made the same jokes about specsavers and linesmen all game. He was diminutive so liked people to hear him to make up for it, full weighter. I heard him still shouting at the Barnsley and Derby games last month when I was back so no one has told him to stick a sock in it yet.

I wouldn't say the bloke was a "knobhead" but there was one bloke who sat next to me in the South Stand for years who tutted every time anyone shouted or got a bit animated, he looked the opera going type rather than a football fan though.

Also more strange than knobhead but there was also the bloke behind me who had 2 weird kids who looked like they'd got dressed in the dark every week (probably in their 30's now) in another seat I had in the South Stand for a good few years and he used to wipe all 4 seats before he sat on them with a tissue and some sanitizer...... freak.

 

[GrayBlade]

Aye unfortunately we've got a pair of middle aged dickhead (I think) brothers and their kids sat right behind us. I was hoping they'd be pay on the day but it looks like their season ticket holders. Moan moan bloody moan from the first minute of every game until we scored, but of course we didn't score this weekend so they never stopped.

They never join in with any singing or shout out anything remotely supportive, just 'rubbish United' or 'too slow' or they'll have a pop at players, right in my bloody ear, I'm already regretting getting the season ticket there. I've turned around a couple of times and laughed at them and others have had more of a pop, but they're oblivious. I'd guarantee that they've only just come onboard as regulars as they seem to have no idea whatsoever about the players. God knows what they'll be like if we go on a bad run

Their aught to be a new area opened up especially for like minded 'fans' like them where they can moan away with other miserable gits to their hearts content without spoiling everybody else's game...or shot!

I'm sure it's the latter mate. Twats the lot of em.

 

[Robby Blade]

You may spot someone taking a sly swig from a hip flask or smell a strange whiff in the air.

Actually, maybe it's time to move.

Well don't come near me if that's what you do.

 

[Robby Blade]

Don't know if this counts, but there was a old get stood opposite me in The Beer Engine on Saturday who was a right cunt.

 

[snootyfenooty]

I sit amongst mostly middle aged men. Fine upstanding citizens, salt of the earth type and very loyal SUFC supporters. They enjoy a little bit of repartee with the away supporters and are partial to the odd pint or two. The language is a bit ripe but hey we're at a football match. Not much to see wrong really. I sit on SS gangway H.

You're not alone. I find that everyone else on the plane is always a twat.

 

[Northyorksblade]

A middle aged bloke with his geeky teenage son is now sitting near our Jack, on Family Stand. He starts on our players from the first minute, stands facing the away fans all the game giving them the 'come on if you think you're hard enough' pose. Really winds our Jack up. In Saturday, Jack kept waiting for him to arrive, every so often breathing a sigh of relief. He never arrived, made Jack's day. Funny how little things make people happy.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Mine is the old man lol

Used to play in the County Senior Prem when it was half decent. In the Senior cup we were beating some team from Pontefract 11-0 and you could hearing him moaning from the sidelines about a 'lack of effort'.

After the game he was moaning because nobody looked up for it.

He's a strange one.

 

[trav164]

Sat behind a lass on the kop who gives the odd uneducated comment that oddly, bugs me way more than it should.

She also knows no bounds when it comes to match etiquette, kicking her feet up on the seat in front of her and leaning as far back as she can reducing the already limited leg space.

Dickhead.

 

[speedymcgeady]

There is a bloke at the back of the Kop (Gangway E) that needs to realise that shouting "PAEDO" every single time the "Wanker, wanker, wanker" chant breaks out stopped being funny after the 1st time, never mind the 50th time.

Twat is behind me so at least I don't have to witness him smugly turn to his mates either side of him as he presumably does to lap up the acclaim for such a hilarious stunt.

I remember the Coventry fans chanting Craig Pead's name in the shortened version....

Kneeing em in the back of the head " accidentally " usually works, it's getting the timing right ,just as they start leaning back,push your knees forward.

Fraid so buddy. Early flight to Faro a week on Friday, usually twat central but Ms Crab does it so we essentially get an extra day out there. Personally I'd sacrifice the extra day for a less twattish flight.

 

[snootyfenooty]

United have a problem with some of their fans. So does every club in the league. It's been going on for 50 years now and we're no closer to solving the problem now as we were then. The only difference is that the scrapping tends to be outside the ground rather than in it. If you're not a football supporter you can get your kicks on a Friday or Saturday night at a venue of your choosing, or drive your car at 70 mph around an estate somewhere. The menu is endless.

The only cure is to stiffen up court sentences. The same was said 50 years ago so I won't be holding my breath waiting for this to happen. If anything the sentences are softer. As long as the do-gooders and bleeding heart liberals influence court proceedings in the name of "giving everybody a second (or third or fourth) chance" then I'm afraid nothing's going to change. The miscreants will laugh and continue to do as they wish whilst at the same time encouraging the next generation to do the same.

People on here need to stop thinking this is a uniquely SUFC problem and by targeting our idiots the problem will be solved whilst conveniently overlooking the antics of the 23 sets of visiting fans we have to contend with. It was a society problem 50 years ago and it is now.

 

[The Crab]

You're not alone. I find that everyone else on the plane is always a twat.

It's a shame in many ways because we have a lot of friends out there who we always look forward to seeing, and we like to support the Restaurant of a really good friend of mine who passed away a couple of years ago, and his wife is now trying to make a go of it.

But if we have another year like last year, I'm fucking it off.

The only way to "enjoy" a flight is to:

1. Travel off-season
2. Avoid budget and tour airlines like the plague
3. Go long haul if you can, you'd be surprised how cheap some of these holidays are

The behaviour of the passengers is markedly different.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

I've only heard that once in the Family Stand and the culprit was removed soon after.

I'm amazed at the level of restraint shown in the Family Stand. It's a credit to our club and supporters that in the two seasons I've sat in there, I've only witnessed one moron who's sworn like that out loud.

you dont sit near me then

 

[broomhillblade]

I started going to the Lane in 1948. I can honestly say that I was not aware of much bad language at that time - though I recall that my Dad moved me away from one bunch of ne'er-do-wells on one occasion; how easy it was when we stood behind the goal. The invective seemed to be milder in those days. When the legendary Arthur Bottom was playing, a young lad next to me abused him with the cry:"Arthur Bottom - more like 'alf a teacake".

 

[JPBrods]

Encountered a couple of boorish fellows against Norwich. Sat behind me. Two youngish lads a similar age to me were checking the other scores and some bets on their phones. Glanced at them for all of 30 seconds and these two were shouting at them to get off their phones, saying what have you come here for, sit elsewhere etc.

People constantly waving their phones about are an annoyance, but not to the point where you harass people to put them away, especially if they're just checking the scores around the grounds. If it had been me I would have told him to mind his own bleeding business.

Flights are a means to an end. Avoid flying in to Alicante, pretty hard for us, as our daughter lives 30 mins away from there, or hope you don't get a stag/hen party. Hard to avoid budget when going to see her, but at least they are cheap. Keep the mantra going during the flight. 'This was very cheap and you get what you pay for.'
I prefer long haul, but have just paid £140 for two return tickets to see daughter, can't whack it really. More likely to be full of old dears visiting relatives, or ex pats going back home.

I think the world has changed. When I was young people didn't take young children on planes much, nor were they even allowed in pubs. These days it's deemed perfectly acceptable to subject every fucker to a crying baby for two hours on a flight or to have them running around screaming and playing with their toys whilst I'm trying to have a pint but if I dare say fuck in front of their precious ears I'm some kind of Satan.

Go first or business or just fly to somewhere really expensive. Or don't bother flying. Did the Euro Tunnel a couple of weeks ago. Much easier.

I know exactly what you mean Bush.

I understand that for most people, the holiday starts at the airport (mines starts the moment I get into the cab from home!). But surely to God, some consideration from people wouldn't go amiss? Is it really necessary to get wrecked at 5am in the morning and act the twat on the plane? Or recline your seat all the way back so the poor bastard behind you has fuck all room? And don't get me started about the free for all when you're trying to get off the plane. This particularly makes me laugh as they are still going to be stuck on the fucking transfer bus anyway.

I'm slowly coming to the realisation that if I'm going to have my holiday ruined by Brits, I might as well just stay in Britain.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

I hate to say it, but I really do think we have a higher percentage of 'twat fans' than most other clubs. Every single home and away game there seem to be numerous low-IQ bell-ends around me, and having been to plenty of games at other clubs they don't to have quite the same levels of them as we do.

Its definitely getting worse too. Away games in particular.

But the little darlings are just "expressing" themselves.
