FAO Those who leave games early

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

I've never got this. I've left early once in 20-odd years - Port Vale away, Boxing Day 2014. Losing 3-0 (3-1?), snow coming down like a blizzard, Pennines to negotiate. Came out about 2 minutes before the end, got home at 10.30pm. Home games. What traffic? If it's that bad (and it's not), use public transport. I live near Penistone, use the train (when Northern aren't on strike), and even with a post-match pint am home for 6.25! If you live a long way away use the park and ride. I respect people's right to arrive and leave when they want, but just don't get why loads of people leave early as some sort of routine - "oh, it's 5/6/8 minutes to the end, time to go"! They do it when we're 1-0 or 2-1 up, level, or like yesterday (if ever the team deserved to be cheered off, it was yesterday), or even if we're losing narrowly and really pressing. If I go to the cinema or theatre, or to a music gig, people would look at me gone out if I left before the end, whatever the "excuse"! Yesterday, I actually thought it was disrespectful to the players to not stay to the end, as they gave their all (yes, they should, they're paid shitloads of cash, but they really did and the admission price was a bargain!), and as entertainers it must be weird to give a performance like that and then see thousands streaming out to "miss the (non-existent) traffic"! Anyway, it takes all sorts, as they say, I just think it's weird!

Dont normally leave early but Kelly Brook promised me a shag as long as I was home before 5.00 PM

I read that as Kell Brook first time round. It's 2018 after all.

I reckon the players might have felt disheartened seeing all the people stream out with not far off 10 minutes left and you could tell with the celebrations at the end, even Hendo wasn’t his usual giddy self.

I don’t usually post anything regards people leaving as it’s their choice but I thought they deserved more people staying behind yesterday, the players were fantastic.

Can't believe it on a day like yesterday, the players deserved a great reception. To be honest I always shout "bet you haven't got as far to go as me"!! Apologies if you if have heard me and you have!

A little while ago a survey was done about which football clubs had the greatest number of fans living closest to the club's postcode. Guess who came out at or very near the top? Clearly missing the traffic to Arbourthorne, Norfolk Park, Sharrow and Heeley is a big priority for loads of people (no offence meant, this is a bit tongue in cheek, but for those of us who live slightly further away and stay to the bitter - as it is sometimes - end, it's a lame excuse!).

Sampdoria have just beaten Napoli 3-0. Quite a comparable scalp to our 4-1 win over Villa.

This is their equivalent of the Kop. Notice how there aren't any gaps in the stand...... weird. Almost as if it means something to them.

All that flag bollocks would get on my tits, but in the context of this thread, I get your point

I do miss the original bawdy humour on the Kop........

that went well

Should we win the title (big if I know) this late goal against Norwich would have got it.

Also a plea for our game this Saturday:

Please don't leave early no matter what

UTB

But if you decide to leave early please do so in a quick orderly manner, in short f**k right off out of the ground, no bobbing down in the isle, no hovering around the stairs at the exit just do one, disappear, be 1st 't bar or bus stop but don't spoil it for others you selfish b*****ds

It's like our lass when there's a film on TV
She watches two minutes of it, then goes for a piss, then makes a cuppa, then reads the paper, then goes to wash the cups, then goes and does a bit of ironing, then sits down three quarters of the way through it and starts asking me what's going on meaning I miss the important bits, then she says "I don't get it, it's rubbish this film"

Its like picking up a book, reading page 77 and saying it's shite

Never realised you read books with that many pages

I work in Financial Services mate,
It's an FCA requirement that every single document has 76 pages of total and complete bollocks before getting to the bit that might actually inform the client about something useful.

And the more colours you include the better the report is, honestly!

 

[Topplayersleave]

That's very true, the regulators and compliance love their colour charts.
I print in black because I like annoying them and I'm too tight to print in colour

Plus, they tell us to be transparent, make sure it's all in black and white. I took this literally

 

[silver blade]

I know it shouldn't bother me but..... why?

Can anyone please explain it to me?

Chuffed with the win and hope that it stops this happening

UTB

I don't want the boot boys on the kop to see me crying

If you think early leavers are bad, try the twats who stand in the gangway at 2.58pm blocking the aisle so they can ask Fred how Mabel's bunions are

I like them that set off for a piss, then stop on the steps, turn around ....

and take every fuckers they were sat with order for pie, chips and peas, while blocking every fuckers view

 

[Blade56]

Wonder if they will be as eager to leave their seats early next season? Hope the stewards are retrained to clear em out as soon as they feckin stand up.

Just imagine if any Spurs fans left early last night. They must feel guttered this morning.

Aye - reight bodge job - no down spout

 

[sheffielder]

For those who moan about people who leave a little early, fuck off

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Did we go up in the end?
I left the season early, just after Millwall missed their penalty.

 

[FMBlade1]

Well done to those who stayed fully deserved

 

[blademan31]

Don't understand leaving early today. You wouldn't go to the second leg and leave after 5 minutes!

 

[Corkblade]

Only takes a second to score a goal

 

[Nade]

Embarrassing to see people leave early in a playoff game. Last home game of the season too, chance to applaud the players for the season.

 

[Jolly Buffer]

I think a lot of people just feel so bitterly disappointed with games/results like today that they just can't stand to watch to the end plus having to suffer the away fans celebrating.

I personally stayed, but can you really blame anyone? Should have been 0-4 to Forest. Never really looked like scoring.

If I had the opportunity to go on the piss with the lads, I probably would have taken it. Each to their own and all that.
