Tim Monaghan Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Why on earth would anyone moan about this? What is wrong with this football club? Ffs, get a grip. Our fans are such a bunch of unappreciative karen’s. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s for a bloke called Jazz Ellis (looking at social media), looks like a image of him was held up? 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is/was he? Thought the display looked decent enough. Would have been nicer to know ahead of time though if it was in memory of someone, people around me were pretty confused.

Lewisdabaron Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Fantastic effort by the lads in S82, for the record the chap depicted has terminal cancer, no wonder they wanted it to be a suprise for him. A big well done to all those involved & shame on those who cant bear to be ITK & shout others down. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That we are fighters banner has been out multiple times before today, Pisano while he was still a player with us he made a video for fans and said “we are fighters” . For today, from the above with the gentleman having terminal cancer it fits in well. “all we saw is red and white squares” what do you expect from a card display in limited space?

Well the “we are fighters” is an old banner from a quote from Pisano a few years ago. The image is from a well known chap who has been fighting cancer. I hope this explains things. happy now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as all you ever do is make sarcastic comments and try to troll people, constantly, over years, it’s boring. What was this, have a few beers at the game then rush home to make another pointless comment, instead of reading literally two posts above about it all. There’s multiple times, like you’re constant crying about the tannoy then refusing to meet mark kelly, who was never hard to meet with. The farce/obsession with the Johnson family the trolling saying “you never hear any chants at Ashton gate” The list is endless You have been doing it for years and you still find it “funny”, someone calls you out and you just ignore them and go into hiding on the post.

All that was asked of people in the 3 blocks was to hold up a piece of card. You don’t even sit in that area so you were inquisitive about something that didn’t even impact you. The reason the message of the display was being kept tight-lipped was clearly because a much loved chap called Jazz Ellis is dying and it was interned to be a supportive and welcome surprise for him. So yes - this is 6 pages of bollocks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are fan led initiatives posted on the fans forum asking for people to take part you can't then be surprised or complain when people are interested or asking questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 4 hours ago, Spike said: With regards to flares I wonder if it has something to do with fire alarms, in the sense that if there was a fire in the stadium and the alarm went off some people may just assume it's down to the flares and not make their way out of the stadium? I know it sounds daft but in the UK health and safety are very aggressive when it comes to stupid things like this. It's probably more to do with the fact that fans in this country are bloody idiots who can't be trusted to not just lob them in any old direction. As for the display today, it looked ok on Robins TV, but unfortunately didn't see the gentleman's image raised. I presume members of his family are on here hence the cloak and dagger approach otherwise that approach wouldn't make sense. In which case, to those friends/family my heart goes out to you. Watching someone pass from this vile disease is cruelty of the highest order and you have my heartfelt sympathy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 I think the lesson here is “intent”. It is misleading (sorry @James) to state it’s just people holding up red and white squares as clearly those formed part of a wider display. So the people holding up the red and white weren’t part of a mosaic but a wider display. But we then come to intent. One of the things I believe - I have to believe - is that peoples intent is good 99.9% of the time. Thats why the 0.1% make the news. So, while I get the secretive nature here (and it’s a great reason, and my best wishes go to Jazz and family), the problem is the way it was framed made that intent be questioned. Unfortunately 95% of people in attendance don’t know Jazz, so to frame it in the way of it meaning a lot to a lot of city fans also fell short. The lesson I think for everyone is to trust that the intent is good. And then for the organisers not to overegg/underegg what’s being done. Hopefully this episode has proven the former and when S82 or similar do another display it will be accepted with the good intent it’s no doubt meant in. Bottom line - a good thing has been done here for someone, but nobody has really covered themselves in glory on this thread. Second bottom line - This is about Jazz - don’t know him but can’t imagine what he’s going through - and not about bloody trolls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
