I have been captain of a sports side and you dont go far by shouting out negative comments to your players. You need to encourage, beef up their confidence and then they will play more confident and actually might win.

Hoping not to get barraged by some people for this comment but after experiancing the Port crowds and the Crows crowds, I think every supporter that sits backs and watch needs to have a good hard look at themselves...maybe even go visit the stadium on a Port match day...see, no HEAR the difference! Many red coats I have spoken to have commented about how loud the Port fans are to Crows crowds, and yet Port have dramatically less crowds.

Crows fans PLEASE find your voices next home match, and not your negative voices, POSITIVE voices!:)
To quote your great self ' Amen, sister, AMEN!'

And i had my reasons last night as to why I didnt participate in the 'action' so to speak. I have the flu so when I attempt yelling my throat clams up and I can't breathe. That and Asthma.

But for the rest of the crowd there's no excuse. What is even worse is that we get quieter as the margin grows bigger :mad:

Add another comparison to port supporter. A lot of crows supporters are much older and therefore think that cheering is some terrible cult action which therefore makes them a bunch of Crankers (refer Crown and Anchor-ians) :rolleyes:

His head was so cool it must have been frozen when he just stood there and allowed himself to be tackled by James Hird.

i wish this same attitude was adopted more on this site,
the only time ive upset people here has been for getting into them for not supporting their team.
to me there is NOTHING worse than being white anted by your own people.
(i think a lot of the time these people just aint bright enough to realise what they are doing!)

Yeah he was really supposed to have the eyes on the back of his head. How about some team work from Burton to let him know that he was about to be tackled. If thats the criteria that you are not allowed to be caught once in a while them Mark Ricciuto and anyone else for that matter should be dropped.

1. Mr Potential. Improving with every game. Made a few blunders but thats just the young player coming out in him.

Memo to the Crows 'Supporters' group :
YES we do realise you ARE the crows supporters group. No need to promote yourselves, get rid of the banner before I burn it. :rolleyes:

And maybe you could all spend your days making a banner that says 'GO CROWS'. :mad:

Some of them..well.. lets just say they have an uncanny resemblance to my Cabbage Patch Kid..... :eek:
I will pass the message onto mark this weekend Sarah:D :p The group in Adelaide are sooooooooooooooo pathetic:rolleyes: :mad:

Great post Angel Eyes and RaDaR ReiLLy couldn't agree more


What i have always found so facinating is, you watch us play in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Perth or even at against the Power , 4 or 5000 people make more noise than the 45,000 + there for a sell out home game. I really fail to comprehend what is difficult to understand about supporting your side wether they are 5 goals down or 5 goals up.

That said to the idiotic "crow fans" i encountered at the players race at half time last night... spitting and trying to grab at players and general abuse isnt a real good way to get your point across, especially whan you consider that there were children in that area!!! Well in Melbourne for the Collingwood game onlly hope the few thousand there can once again show our home supporters how to support. :p

You were pretty upset about that one!! :p

I agree 100%. Its not a good thing for the players either. They dont need to hear it and they wouldve been feeling bad enough. The club is supposed to pride itself on having the home ground advantage- certainly no advantage if our own supporters start turning on the playing group. :mad:

Actually i read 4 hours worth of your posts after that response a couple of days ago, i even wrote a response for you, but then i decided to take your advice.

As for my "arrogant opinions" if you don't like them don't read them. Simple.
I was out of line towards you that night mate.
I felt like i was the ony person on their side and everyone (as i said not restricted to BF) was really enjoying pulling my team apart.
I will always back them always no matter what.
and try not to snipe at them afterwards.


you and kane do post a lot of good stuff and i regret hoping into you both.

but everyone here could get a little more positive dont you think?
