Cider-Head23 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Don't know why some people get worked up about away attendances. Our away following can be hit & miss but is fairly decent on the whole. People are forgetting this game is on a Friday night which of course is a lot easier than say a midweek night game, But the majority of us work Fridays, Xmas coming up.. a lot of us went to Sheffield as recently as 18th November for the Wednesday game. If it was Saturday we'd more than likely take 250 more.. not to mention the game is on Sky which of course affects travelling numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a club that has had **** all success our support is very decent. There's Toss all to do up North anyway so no wonder they have all the time in the world to travel the length and breadth of the country I found plenty to do up North when I lived there.

Putain de merde - as the French say....... Actually, and I am sure @Major Isewater and @Esmond Million's Bung will be able to back me up on this, it is only rarely that the French do say this: nor, contrary to popular belief, do they often say Sacrébleu or Zut Alors. And, whilst on the subject, it is also rare to see men on bicycles wearing berets, striped teeshirts, a baguette under their arm and a ring of onions around their neck.

I only hear this when something very serious has happened, along with " putain de con " . " Putain " is a common phrase used like the words " shit , bugger or bollocks " , not too serious. The streets of Montpellier are however awash with cycling onion salesmen wearing striped t-shirts and bérets, smoking Gauloise, carrying a baguette whilst swigging on a bottle of rouge . They stop only for the guy wearing a beret and striped t-shirt who is transporting his onions on the back seat of his ' Deux chevaux ' whilst sipping a petit Ricard and reflecting on his latest match de Pétanque.

'putain de con' is the French equivalent of our 'F*cking idiot/pr*ck'. The word 'putain' is, of course, the vulgar French word for a prostitute, e.g. whore, but the word 'con' in isolation is used widely and basically means idiot. What never ceases to amuse me, however, is the use of the word 'connard', a slightly stronger version of 'con'; think, perhaps, ******** instead of idiot. This only applies to a male, however, so if you are driving and cut up by some idiot (con) driver, you first have to establish their gender before calling them a 'connard', if a male, or, if a female, a 'connasse'. Imagine, a different swearword dependent upon the gender of the party concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it wasn’t commonly used, but I thought that the reason was that it’s very strong - the equivalent of our ‘******* shit’ rather than the milder examples given. At a pétanque competition in the Dordogne last year, my French bowling partner uttered it after messing up a shot and he was strongly rebuked. My wife taught French at Hartcliffe school until 1996 and she thought it offensive too - albeit amusing when used on that occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Con " is the vulgar word for the female genitalia, not to different from the vulgar English word that rhymes with ' Hunt ' . It has , however , come to mean ' idiot ' as Phil points out .

It’s a shame there won’t be a big away following on Sky cameras. I do find our away support strange at times. We can take 4K x3 times to Coventry, 2k to Newcastle, sell out Reading and mostly London games in midweek. Think we’ve sold over 1,000 already for Villa and QPR and the latter is two days before Christmas! But can only muster 300 for this one. I know it’s Friday night and on Sky...

I didn’t say our away support was spectacular, I was pointing out that Rovers away support isn’t as good as they, and you, pretend it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
