Mr Popodopolous Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Firstly, Brentford worthy winners. We didn't do enough, did we? I thought the team was questionable...Baker and Pack on the bench? Subs okay in isolation, but to end up with a side of: Fielding, Pisano, Flint, Kelly, Brownhill, Smith, Walsh, Bryan Paterson, Reid and Djuric. Bit of a absolute shambles, all told. Badly balanced.. Lastly, the atmosphere. This was poor, in the circs. Joint 6th going in, teams on our tail and a Bank Holiday Monday game with playoff hopes still on. That was disappointing. Section 82 gave it a go at times, but it was not great overall IMO. Which leads me onto my last point... When decent parts of the Dolman filtered out in the last 5 to 10 minutes, these chants which also reappeared in lower volume v Sheffield Wednesday kicked in. Brentford fans? Yes, and par for the course. Wasn't just them though, heard it from S82 again. As well as 'Johnson says, stay until the end'. However, the worst bit of this transpired, when both sets of supporters- by which I mean Brentford AND S82 chanted this at the same time- at the Dolman. Genuine embarrassment that!!

We didn't have a shot on target all game! That's shocking for 90 mins of football by any team - even more so for a home side on the verge of the playoffs!

Singingsuperstar Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 S82 were also dispersing before the whistle. Chanting at your own fans.... You fat bastard... Really?

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Nothing against the chant as such, but singing it at own fans, which then coincided with Brentford doing likewise at one point...isn't the best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra_faction Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Worth remember S82 is a small group of supporter. It was many others in and around them singing this so harsh to tarnish them with the same brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S82 is a group of supporters (throughout the ground), not the entirety of blocks S25/S26. That song wasn't S82 'led' (or followed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Well to be fair, it was from that area. Unfair to blame S82 I concur.

054123 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I thought it was funny. It wasnt laden with expletives it laced with malice. I think it’s fine to leave early if you want, especially after the crap served up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit in S24 next to singing section, the fire drill and fat bastard chants started there. A few reacted to the fire drill chant the guy with glasses over reacted and took exception to people questioning why he was leaving early - it's a free country those that want to leave early should be allowed to do so without ridicule especially when moments later and welll before the final whistle the singing section do the same (hypocrites). The fat bastard chant that followed was disgraceful. Wonder how long the guy has been attending matches... Longer than many in the singing section l would imagine. I stay to the end cos l chose too, l jeer players cos l choose too, l refuse to clap a performance like that cos its my choice. Also note the teams lack of effort to walk round pitch at end excepting KS. Heads in shame moment. The attitude of some on here is questionable.

demet78 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Why should people stay til the end just because certain others say so? If people choose to leave early (especially today) why get heckled? The City were to put it politely ‘clueless’ today and could still be there now and wouldn’t have scored. If it weren’t for the fact I had a lift home I’d have gone at HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, on the one hand you say it's a free country but on the other hand say the attitude of some is 'questionable'. The bloke made a rude gesture at people singing something pointing out that some people were leaving early. He deserved the response he got. No one else leaving the Dolman got ridiculed. He brought it on himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRaw Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 If the dullards who sang the song took their collective heads out their arse and looked to their left they would have seen equal numbers of people leaving the south stand. Having a pop at our own fans seems to be a specialty of some of these “super fans” particularly aimed at dolman fans when the reason why people were leaving from all stands is because they were served 85 minutes of shite.

Chicken George Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I could sense a club being ripped apart today. No pre-match excitement or anticipation. Fans impatient and moaning from early on. A team playing without its best players and with no passion, desire or will. Fans jeering their own players being subbed. Fans singing negative songs toward each other. Only about 25 people trying to sing throughout in encouragement. Constant moaning & groaning. Booing at the end. Impatience throughout from the fans. Lack of urgency or ability from the players & management. Utterly utterly poor all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen you comment like this on almost every thread this evening Firstly, I applaud the singing section and have openly stated on this forum many times. To my point - I would not know a s82 person from any other - it’s not like you wear t-shirts or something is it or if you do, not all the time. But many times on here people have commented on the merits of the singing section and called it collectively s82 and people have only been too keen to accept the plaudits on behalf of s82 and never once mentioned that only a handful of the singing section is actually s82. I could now go on to type many more words to highlight my point but that should now be obvious - rough with smooth and all that !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
