Aizoon Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 How, typical of OTIB, getting offended on other people's behalves over something you've never even heard of. Rather difficult for Jill Dando to be offended on her own behalf, I'd say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richwwtk Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think there is, being drunk at a football match, and let's face it those that caused all the aggro were all pi$$ed up. Nothing wrong with passion, but to ruin others day out after all the expectation is just plain selfish. There is nothing wrong with being drunk (certain exceptions apply of course e.g. driving), it's being able to control yourself and being accountable for your actions that matters.

So why are you so concerned? Were you one of the singers? Honest question, just interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 How, typical of OTIB, getting offended on other people's behalves over something you've never even heard of. OK, let's ignore the singing for a minute, I've never heard it myself but distasteful songs get sung at football matches all the time. As long as it was legal then I guess people have a right to sing it if they really want to, although it shows a clear lack of judgement to have sung it when they did. What you can't excuse is the loutish, boorish behaviour that these people were exhibiting. It might well be exactly how they behave at every game they go to but this wasn't a normal game, they weren't stood amongst hundreds of their mates, they were in an area with a high population of families and different types of supporter to themselves. They should have been able to rein themselves in a little, it's basic manners and showing consideration for your fellow human beings. The only other possibility is that they haven't got the brains they were born with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But something that did happen, according to various witnesses. Are you getting defensive "on other people's behalf", or did you sing it yourself? If the latter, perhaps you can explain A) why you think it is "humorous" and B) why anyone would sing it at a football match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manon Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 There was talk of a minutes' applause on behalf of another murdered westcountry girl at this match. Clearly the irony though would be lost on those who sang the dando song, as I'm sure is practically everything else above the mental age of a two year old.

Well of course being drunk anywhere, especially in public does seem to make people act differently, and sometimes in a unsociable manner, not a new thing.

Mighty Squirrel Kingdom Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Depended where you were in 111. There were plenty of knuckledraggers who couldn't hold their sauce where the wife and I were, including the one who couldn't even remember the words to the Aden Flint song (probably because he'd done too much of one, the other or both of the last 'line' of the chant), the one right behind me who fell one top of me and another one who called my missus a **** because she moved in front of him while he was trying to take a film of the team celebrations after the presentation. I didn't find out about the last incident until a lot later, which was probably just as well. At one point a steward told them in no uncertain terms they'd be thrown out. Don't get me wrong, I was under no illusions about the 'singing section' but there's a huge difference between supporting your team and acting like a complete t0ss3r. BTW I wouldn't hold your breath about any of them coming on here to defend their behaviour, you'd have to be able to read, write and be able to see someone else's point of view to do that. Toddlers normally develop empathy after their second birthday, but it's clear that some of our 'fans' haven't even reached that stage yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Your comments regarding those fans that are jumping on the bandwagon by seeing City at Wembley, you then seem not to commit over that song is 'right or wrong' well it does seem that the consensus of those on here that these sort of songs are not needed to say the least, and sung by utter mindless morons.Moderators of this very peripheral forum, should not have their entitlement to an opinion denighed, imo. Going back, I have heard the Jill Dando song many times. I don't understand it, don't join in with it, is it something connected with her Weston roots? The thought it's a song about a murder, the circumstances of which are to this day controversial didn't previously pass my mind, which is odd. Just don't know what it has to do with us.

Numero Uno Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'd never have thought for one moment thought that city fans could get drunk at wembley, and then, even worse, sing songs about Jill Dando. What is the world coming to? Grown men singing a pathetic (or should I say "humourous") song like that is one thing. But forcing a little girl out of her seat into her Dad's lap goes beyond the pale doesn't it? Or is that what "football culture" is all about? I know lads who like a bit of football culture - I walked past a mate from school at Walsall when he was overturning a Police van in 1986. But if the same lad forced a little girl out of her seat then I certainly wouldn't be walking past that's for sure. That's the disappointing thing for me - assuming the OP isn't exagerating things people just sat there and did f00k all. And anyone who condones that type of behaviour isn't a "lad" who prefers a bit of "edge" to their football - they're just plain retarded pure and simple.

Thinking it's wrong for drunken, grown men to force a little girl out of her seat makes you sanctimonious apparently. Well I'd rather be that every single day of the week than the alternative. When I go down the Centre and have a couple too many pints would these same people thing it was "laddish" if I hopped on the bus and made a girl sit on her Dad's lap because I wanted to sit down (or stand up) on that exact seat rather than an unoccupied one somewhere else in the bus? And would they excuse me if I used the argument "it's Bus Culture, what's your effing problem"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish_Red Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I managed to wangle some tickets for the corporate gig before hand and had the privilege of sitting next to a bunch of jumped up t*ssers who thought it was ok to be obnoxious to pretty much everybody around them and in particular the staff who were there to serve drinks and look after the guests... Throwing money at them saying "will you look after us now" and calling them a **** and w****r because the light occasionally flickered above them... Also one guy who was so p*ssed he could barely stand up and spent about 10 minutes trying to kiss and hug our group because we had won. At least he was friendly enough compared to some of the other people described above. I don't get the fact that you have to get completely obliterated to have a great time. Pretty lucky that everybody we met (we were in the Parish Bar at 11.45) was in great form and enjoyed themselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshthomson Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Sat in 112 myself. As expected in the "singing" section there were some plonkers. But you got to expect that. I can't believe families taking there kids in these sections. As for the train home we got off a stop early in Bath and taxied it. A group of 40-50 year olds acting 15 passing drugs about being very football factory like. Pathetic. Overheard them say there local was the yeomen says a lot really...

Introduce IQ tests on fans applying for tickets before our next big day out? The stewards on the day were the people to deal with it. But it's quite reasonable for those on a forum dealing with all aspects of City fandom, to point out some of the negatives they encountered on Sunday. Fortunately, the vast majority of us avoided such knuckleheads and had a fun day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather, and I'm talking as a society here far beyond just football, that we didn't "just accept" anti-social behaviour but tried to discourage and deal with it. But that's a wider discussion. I've said my bit. I agree with what you say about every club has their idiots. Walsall's were fighting among themselves on the terrace, and at least one young man probably had an overnight stay in Shepherd's Bush nick!

Just thought I would point out the behaviour of a minority of fans on a Bristol City fans forum. No hissy, no fit. But amazed at how many people saying that's football, accept it. The initial post asked for these 'fans' to defend their actions and so far not one has taken that up. Says a lot I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I personally didn't see any hint of anything untoward all day, but I can't say I'm massively surprised to hear that there were issues. Let's face it, we've always had our fair share of knobheads, most of us will have witnessed their behaviour at various away grounds, pubs, on trains etc over the years. And with Sunday's City crowd being 3 times larger than normal, of course the idiot element would increase in number too. And yes, whenever anything of this nature gets mentioned on here, it's guaranteed that you'll get people condoning their behavior or making excuses for it. Always been the same.
