northernsoul Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm assuming you were asking me if I was at the game - and yes I was. Yep, fair doos. What happened on the pitch, to me was just so unbelievably bad that you struggle to comprehend if it actually happened. This is a team who play in front of no more than 100 fans a home game. Nothing personal was shouted or aimed at any player in particular. I've heard far worse shouted at Firhill, so that's why I struggle to accept any criticism of the fans venting their frustrations in the video. We'll agree to disagree.

More than happy to agree it was a disgraceful performance and also happy to agree to disagree over the level of abuse meted out at the final whistle.

gianlucatoni Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Oh dear - I wasn't at the game but this video is absolutely shameful - I certainly wasn't expecting that at all. There are some grown men that need to take a good look at themselves in the mirror for their abhorrent use of language in the vicinity of a couple of young girl fans. I'm not against the boys getting some pelters and a good boo-ing off the pitch (or the Culter boys getting applauded off the pitch) but the aggressive nature of the language and the tone was completely out of order.

MWM Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've still yet to hear a good argument for why it was a disgrace. If you think the language is a joke, then I take it you spend all game every week telling people to stop swearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Well, that's the wee clip deleted. Kyle Hutton took offence so I thought I'd better delete it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Well, that's the wee clip deleted. Kyle Hutton took offence so I thought I'd better delete it. Has Kyle Hutton deleted his Tweet where he refers to a Thistle fan as an 'idiot'? Has Kyle Hutton deleted his Tweet for his '1690th follower LOL'?

If you think the language is a joke, then I take it you spend all game every week telling people to stop swearing? I think I muted a perfectly sensible reason for my disgust in the central paragraph in my post. Perhaps if you think the language is OK and it's OK in this day and age to feel that you are able to do things within the 4 walls of a football pitch - that you would not get away with in normal society - then it speaks volumes for the mentality of your post - a mentality mirrored by the blue and green filth who also feel they can get away with abhorrent behaviour vis-a-vis their historic songs in their stadiums too. And finally, no I don't tell fellow fans in the JH to stop swearing during the game as I sit with my kids in the relatively swear free aural environment of the family section. But then again, I don't see the JH fans stalking the players to the tunnel entrance at the final whistle either venting their foul mouthed spleens.

MWM Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Er it just so happens, the tunnel was right next to our end, like the old days at Firhill. They were a "******* embarrassment" and I was "******* ashamed" to go on two quotes. Perfectly reasonable shouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well then that makes it all OK then eh? - I applaud your well argued discussion in defence of your, and fellow fans, spectacular lack of vocabulary and social skills. Perhaps you should ask Santa for a generously THICK Oxford English Dictionary for crimbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianlucatoni Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 No moral high ground here Colm - shout at the players and give them pelters by all means but the language intensity is simply indefensible youngster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broomhill jag Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) You really had to be at the game and witness the clueless and toothless performance to at least understand some of the supporters reaction. Not making an issue about if you agree with the reactions or not but yesterday was that shambolic that it's hard to put into words.

Man up. What difference does it make whether girls or boys heard the bad language? You think they've never heard anything worse in the playground or up the dancing? It was a disgraceful performance and the players should be told that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
