Abusive spectator

[Greggy]

Let's get it straight, I was more than mildly disgusted with how flat we were in our efforts to run and support our team mates and with our lazy efforts to apply pressure to the ball carrier this week. However child like tantrums and personal attacks directed at the players wasn't my response...

However, the group of members who were sitting around section N5 in the reserved seating on level 2 had to put up with a multitude of tantrums and personal attacks on the players from a balding spectator who was not mentally stable enough to sit alongside his two young and embarrassed daughters let alone the entire Richmond list - who were sitting behind him. I tell you if I was subjected to that kind of personal abuse I wouldn’t feel pumped about playing for the Tigers, so I can only imagine how those young players must feel. Pull your head in fool!! And put a sock in it!!! If you think what you are doing actually helps, you're the biggest fool of all.

If you were getting paid good dollars to be a pro footballer and you had the attitude that you suggest you would have, ie "i wouldnt be pumped" then we have made a big mistake recruiting you. This aint junior auskick brother, this is where you get paid to be an AFL footballer, with all the trimmings that come with it, including abusive supporters. Like how ridiculous can you be, have you ever been to major team games outside footy? The whole world is the same, but not you, you want to sit there and smile and clap and say, "oh that was a rather nice goal...yeah!!"

Given the squad went through the summer being mentally challenged by members of Victoria Polices SOG I doubt the rantings of a passionate supporter are going to upset them too much.

Dude, when did i say i want to sit there and smile and clap? I'm saying this guy crossed the line. I get pissed off and upset at the players all the time, but i don't sit thru literally the whole match screaming abuse at the top of my lungs, what's the point of that?

I'm aware that abusive supporters are rampant everywhere I don't have to accept it though.

Yeah they guy thought the team should have "played for the jumper", and was abusive because he pays his membership and sees players pissing on it.
That kind of makes people upset, upset enough to voice their dissaproval throughout the match seeing as there were a number of players "not playing for the jumper", as TW stated. Now lets see if TW remains true to his word and remove those freeloaders. So you and all around you wont cop that guys abuse.

So Cogga Rules is bald hey , some one send him a Tigers cap. I'll pay for it as long as Richmond promise not to tank. If we tank I'll rip up my membership.

Couldn't agree more, but i payed for my membership and reserved seat too and don't want to listen to constant negative views.

Hehe, thought i sensed someone being defensive.

 

[tugga]

So did you go up to this guy and politely point out to him that you foiund his behaviour unacceptable? Or if you weren't comfortable doing that, did you speak to a member of security?
Not much point making stupid posts about it on an internet forum four days later.

If you felt that strongly about it you should have told security.

Thanks tugga i'll speak to security on sunday, not that they'll do anything. See the post wasn't that stupid i got a sollution out of you.

LMAO.....yeah you arent that stupid, since the whole world would have alerted security, by using their own brains to get a solution, but 2007tiger, had to rely on a post on a footy forum because he didnt have the nouse to form his own solution. Now i say that you arent that stupid, purely because if you were really stupid, you would have not thought about posting on a footy forum to get your solution. So in a photo finish, there are stupider than you..ie Jethro Clampett...

 

[Bad Tiger]

You gotta ask yourself if its actually about helping the cause
or inspiring the team, or just pissing on them to let off your
own steam (or spit). It takes all kinds for sure and I love a good loud
supporter, but there is a point where the chuck a wobbly method
of support just goes too far and becomes counter productive.

And on players being paid to take abuse. Yeah sure, not to mention
the players are gonna just think that supporter is a w***er to be ignored.
Which I think is the issue (besides the kids etc), that you can say the
same stuff and make the same strong point without being abusive. If
he wanted the team to play for the jumper and have some pride, then
scream that, but calling players useless etc, never inspires.

 

[kainokaino]

I bet you the supporter was there for the whole 4 quarters though ??

So who cares if he was abusing the players ...

i would rather him then the false weak as piss supporters who sit around the cheersquad in all there richmond gear but when we get a few goals down you dont hear a word out of them and half of them leave 5 minutes into the last quarter because were 6 goals down.

And suddenly a new contender has emerged......I was being facecious.....no sh__ i could have spoken to a security guard, I chose not too, Why should i be put out by a nimrod, if he's ignorant enough to not realise the impact he was having on his kids then i'm sure a security guards going to have a huge effect. You guys are pretty cutting hey? Just wanted it heard that those kind of supporters make going to the footy SH__.

You are so wise Cogga , can you bring out a book , If you do you could use some of these tiles,

1) How to make friends and abuse total strangers
2) Cogga the life & times of an absolute knob
3) An unfortunate life
4) Cogga , my life as a walking contradiction
5) Coggas Rules, You don't need a red nose and big shoes to be a clown

I only suggest this because you are proving your self to be the most pious w***er on earth. Far be it for any one to have a different point of view than yours. I might take the time to high light some of your most enlightening moments of the last few days just so you can have a think about what little or no sense you make.

You are a grumpy old man with man boobs and when I picture you taping away on the key boards all I can think about is how likely it is that you are the spitting image of George Kastanza.

Keep the hits coming mate as you have reached The Ultimate Entertainer stage in my eyes.

Deep breaths now before you reply ,Deep deep breaths

no it doesnt but when the supporter has more than likely sat there and seen the same shit forever from the same players, what would you do? sit there and say, bad luck better luck next time after another monumental schoolboy ____ up, that has continued to be served up by the usual suspects for the last not 5 year, but 7 or 8? What would you do dude? I mean, i would be tipping that the supporter in question, would not in any way been as abusive to a kid finding his feet in the game. But when you have the likes of..and i wont name them, those that know know them, dishing up the same inept shit that they did under Spud etc, then enough is enough isnt it?
I understand that he might have been over the top with the abuse going on and on and on, but so did the shitness on the ground, so what would you do?
Walk out? sit there and say nothing? I mean, you are only human, you have emotions and you go to the footy to let them loose, be it, frustration or elation, either way. Then you come across dudes like 2007tiger, who wants footy to be this ballet concert, where we all sit there and not say boo, unless its good. Get real...

You're right passion is better.

But its not like there needs to be a choice between those two extremes does
there? Some loudmouth abusers leave really early and some less vocal supporters
stay to the end every week. You can also be a loud supporter but be
totally positive or a quiet supporter and be completely negative.

Get me straight, when I say positive, I dont mean just saying nice
things or cheering like a sap when its going your way. I mean someone who
is vocal, even angry, but isnt just hell bent on rubbishing the team at
every opportunity or getting stuck in a downward spiral of criticism.

Hey, look I agree, i hate our performances myself and get the same
feelings from stupid screwups and hand overs I see time and again.

I guess I just dont see how expressing my emotions in an all out
tantrum is gonna help me or the team. Just a different personality
I guess. Fair enough then if someone blows their lid, all I'm saying
is I don't think abusing players is the way to use that energy.

man, i would be tipping that the poster who had a problem with this dude, is kind of exagerrating, dont know where you sit or stand, but i know for a fact, it dont take a patron to call security if there is a loud abusive person. They descend on them and plitely escort them out. Now the dip stick who had to come here and cry about it, and then suggest, oh now i know what i can do, is pulling your pud.
Because N5? middle deck southern stand? no ____ing way they would have allowed it to continue if the guy, as the fool that started this thread suggests, was that abusive and that loud for that long... More to the point, the muppet 2007tiger had a personal gripe against this dude. Like i said some people need to get real.

If your going to quote me then use something i've said. "Ballet"?

Do you think a kid hearing "Hit a bloody target!" is as offensive as "You stupid useless bastard!". There are degrees of supporting, and if your happy for kids to hear that than we're going to disagree.

 

[_RT_]

Hmm, I sit in N4 and can't remember anyone being overly loud or abusive towards the players during the game last week, can recall quite a few directing abuse at the umpire for a couple of piss poor decisions though.

May I suggest that if people are going to get upset because another fan called a player a useless bastard, then I suggest this Sunday that you all head down to the cheersquad before the game and ask them not to use the 'you are a w***er' or 'bullshit' chants they have used in the past when umpires have got things wrong.

Don't go to the footy. Problem solved.

Ok, I made it all up.........this is going nowhere. Can we all agree then that we're all different and not everyone cares as much as me about loud mouth A__holes.
