Too many lazy big-time Charlie players on stonking wages taking the piss.

Hopefully he has learnt his lesson from this, he's clearly only a young lad so should be given some slack IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see our “leaders” on TV lying all the time, never heard an apology from any of them and they are supposedly ‘better’ than this lad. If he has genuinely learnt from this, then no question, he will be a better man as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 12 hours ago, bch said: I bring my son, with Down’s syndrome, to most home games. When I heard this comment i was disgusted. That said he was a young chap who probably hasn’t come across anybody with Down’s syndrome or anybody who has an equal amount of passion for the game... if not more.. than most football fans. Rather than just reporting I may extend the offer of a pint next time stoke are in town so that he can truly appreciate what a stupid and hurtful thing that is to say. And before then, he should watch "Marvellous" (recommended to anyone who hasn't seen it - you will feel better about life and people) about a Stoke fan with learning difficulties that the then manager Lou Macari took under his wing. The irony that it was the club he supports hopefully wouldn't be lost him, although it can't be guaranteed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where all the vitriol comes from, but it's obviously not the welcoming board it once was. Sorry for interrupting. Thought a Stokie view of things would be of some interest, but I'll leave you to it now. Best wishes for the future. Bye. I think you'll find that we're a pretty balanced bunch on here, give or take the odd poster, and to be fair all forums have them. The fact your post is well liked is testament to that balance. 'Shithouse talentless footballers' as a post title is enough to rile the most like minded fanbase and rightly so, except in the case of the Gas for us, and Port Vale for you.... But in the league we're both currently in that is a pretty derogatory and demeaning post title, sadly for you (and Villa) there appears to be the mentality of 'we're so much better than this' but the reality is, you're not. You're currently at the level you deserve to be at. And unfortunately, when that shows, the dislike of the so called bigger clubs like Stoke & Villa comes to the fore. However, all things being told, don't stop posting on this forum as it's always good to get an opposition opinion, particularly when it's well thought out and balanced. Enjoy the rest of your season (if you can!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a whole primary school of children who have met Owen, my son, who know better and I’m sure anybody who has someone in their life with Down’s syndrome feels the same... but if you’ve not been lucky enough then it’s an education rather than negative feedback that will change behaviour. @Dr Balls will look out for marvellous and @RedSkin will be in touch for a pint before next home game ... anyways.. long may the run continue COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 4 hours ago, BanburyRed said: 'Shithouse talentless footballers' as a post title is enough to rile the most like minded fanbase I'm actually quite happy to hear some fans call us shithouse, we take it season after season from others and never dish it out. If we are streetwise and see out matches I will take whatever they want to call it. But talentless was a laughable remark for a Stoke side that was outplayed in all key positions. Their description of Famara was the sourest of sour grapes, he did a better number on their defence the entire game than their best players did on ours. Shame if @Dreamkiller takes our response to all that disrespect personally, I always enjoy away fans on this board in particular PNE and Wednesday - although those two and others just reflect their own fanbases at away games: friendly and sensible. Shame all these ex Prem teams - and let's be honest we had the same from Villa the past two seasons - didn't get the memo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Remember playing them at home a few years ago, they scored and sure enough started a rendition of that dirge. Cue a loud shout of 'DELILAH'S A SLAG' from a bloke a few rows behind me in the Dolman, to much amusement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel very blessed to have my lad, Sean, in my life. Sean is obsessed with football chants of every team and I'm sure he probably knows as many Stoke songs as that lad. Good to see the lad apologize.
