The Sunnylaw Jag Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Another verbally abusing fritz when he was trying to get the stand behind the team. Regardless of what you think of a person, we are all Thistle fans and for 90 minutes we should stand together. Abusing a fellow fan across a stand and using their name whilst doing it, I find quite embarrassing. You don't socialise with that person away from the game, you don't know him, you have no right to tell another thistle fan to shut the fck up. Poor Fritz, his enthusiasm doth runneth over sometimes but I say we all get behind the man. There's two ways of doing this; the first by shouting " I am Fritzicus" during the game on Wednesday or I know it's a bit out there but you could buy some of the remaining copies of SITB that will be on sale on Wednesday.

Vinnyjag Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think you are spot on. There was ample opportunity to throw some weight behind extended versions of Red n Yellow Army, for example. But there are a lot of people in the north stand who have no interest in actually being a vocal supporter, happy just to sit on the coat tails of others. There are also some fcking idiots! One, yesterday throwing his scarf away after the second goal. Another verbally abusing fritz when he was trying to get the stand behind the team.

Maybe. I just wish that those who are there would get their finger out, so that every person walking out that gate felt they had given everything to verbally supporting the team. Any room in you bunker, Topcat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnyjag Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 The guys shouting ar Fritz were next to me and they were shouting at him because he was abusing Archie, and certainly not getting behind the team, so try to make your comments factually correct!! I have no problem with people venting their feelings during the game however if someone disagrees with those views they are entitled to also air their views, democracy !!!

Graemei Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 My first time in the NS on Saturday and stood near the back. The group I was with had had a few "refreshments" before the game so we were happy to join in the singing despite the poor fare on the park... My take on the Northie crowd was that it split into roughly 3 camps:- 1. The hardcore "singers" up the back who try and get chants going irrespective of team performance. 2. Those who could diplomatically be called "temperamental" who will join in when the team are doing well but seem quick to throw their scarves away/boo/abuse other fans when the going gets tough. 3. Those who don't seem to see the irony in turning up for the atmosphere but yet are not willing to join in and make any contribution! I think PT was alluding to them above when he says the NS could become a victim of its own success. Just my take as a first time visitor. Would also agree with this. Also, did I meet you in the Lansdowne before the game? I'm usually always up the back of the North Stand with my brother, slotted into a group of people who mostly will always join in any singing and a good few of them around me will start a few songs, regardless of what the score is or how the team are playing. But I feel like a crowd of us sing on our own unless we are winning, it's a bit disappointing, standing in silence and moaning about the game isn't any fun. I wish it was more like the German leagues, can be 4-0 down but you still won't shut us up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 People expressing their displeasure with the team or the manager are not any less Thistle fans than those who sung for the match duration regardless of the fayre being offered. I'll admit to being very frustrated on Saturday and using industrial language. But I don't think people shouting things such as get your fkn fingers out or this isn't Goode bough should be condemned or viewed as 2nd tier fans.
