KURTZ Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 11 hours ago, Up The City! said: I have three people behind me who give a running commentary of the game. Highly annoying. They also like to state incorrect facts time and time again. Their opinions also change with the wind, one game a certain player could be absolute trash to them and the following week that player could have a good game and they will say remember last week when I said how great he was, like seriously wtf?? I sometimes take my headphones and listen to Radio Bristol just so I dont have to listen to them.

Mark Little goes on to be City's manager season 2024/25, when we finally go into the National League. In his defence, we have some great scraps with FGR in both 2025/26 and 2026/27, including a notable double over them in 2026/27. Sometimes we are too quick to criticise the critics. Just saying.

... Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Right. A 'twonk' (noun) in an informal term meaning: a stupid or foolish person. According to the urban dictionary, it is a derogatory term roughly equal to 'idiot'. It is more insulting than 'berk' but less insulting than 'gimp'. It has a Victorian origin associated with a 'lower-class foreigner'** Other origins give is as much later - the 1980's, and a blend of twit / **** / plonker. Hope this helps? tfj P.S. ** If this is correct, expect a slap on the legs from our moderating team, if they are not busy elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many insults, either in jest/semi-jest or with more vitriol doing the rounds on OTIB at the mo, I thought I'd give it a Spartacus flavour. I do however regularly offer referees the free use of my glasses............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTBLUE Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 What gets to me are the people who constantly moan that we're playing the "long" ball and should be playing it out from the back,and when we are losing or drawing with 5 minutes left,scream and bawl "get it forward".

This is potentially non-PC and must be stamped out on OTIB before we get a reputation for being moronic bigots. This can not be allowed to happen. tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Finesse Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I guess I would fall into the category of twonk and wouldn't be surprised if somebody was describing me on this thread! I do running commentary, I scream and shout. Often with obscenities when I see ineptitude from the officials and or players. I probably shout 'push ref' a lot as I see it all the time. I try not to have scapegoats but have had them in the past (Torpey, Mcindoe) I am aware of all this and actually go into every game thinking I will give everyone a break this game and stay quiet and calm. Unfortunately this rarely lasts as ineptitude rules, especially at the moment. I apologise if I ruin anyone's enjoyment but I am always too invested emotionally and no matter how I try always will be. And let's remember, atmospheres aren't built on quiet and calm!

Rocky Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Few sit in front of us in the SS, can't work out which has the incredibly bad odour every game. Not arm pits, something more sinister and nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have a bloke in front of me that insists on standing for the entire game, yet shows no passion whatsoever... ......I knew I shouldn't have bought a ST behind the home dugout.

Ealing Robin Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 My old mans eye sights going a bit, we're constantly correcting each other about who actually made the clearance/attempt at the other end of the pitch. It is quite amusing when he applauds a player which had nothing to do with the play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
