Coco Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 When 2 of your team go up for a header and bump into each other - there is guaranteed to be at least one person round about you who will shout "one of youse" as if that does any good The dafties who always cheer a crossfield long ball - which usually sees their cheers coinciding with the winger getting man and ball and clattered by the opposition full back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Le Clos Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Fans celebrating a goal that is offisde - Rangers fans are horrendous for this. Some of the chants that seems to be made up on the spot at games but are absolute classics. Players slipping as they run up to take a goal kick/free kick. Players trying to do tricks and falling on their arse - the David Dunn one they played on Soccer AM for years is the mecca of these. Spotting tidy/ugly birds in the away support and giving them "compliments"/abuse. Spotting wallopers in the away end and giving them abuse ie. pink tracky top boy. Players being funny in interviews. The David Luiz one last week was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs fans previously leaving games when our 2nd goal went in (during the 17/22 in a row). Ian Bairds front part of his hair.

RoyCropper Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 My favourite is when the ball goes out for a throw in and a fan rises out his seat and heads it back onto the pitch, resulting in massive cheers from everyone. Anyone notice that when it happens too, its always a bald guy? When people shout and bawl at the ref for the opposition time wasting in the last few minutes when they are winning. Aye, because we never take our time when winning. Anyone agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambobroch Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I like this thread. I will add the feeling while walking along Gorgie Road after a good win. Preferably in the sunshine,and if you get to walk past any away fans that's always a bonus. I am always a fan of the mental celebration,but my favourite thing about football is that contented feeling described above, when nothing in the world could be wrong. Heaven.

Euan Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 For me, it's the synchronised clapping that occurs during games. EVERY football fan who regularly attends games knows exactly the tempo, the amount and the volume of claps in every given situation. Win a corner when 1 down? It's a furious, brief clap. Somebody spreads the ball across the park into someone in space? A ripple of sparse clapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanHearts Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Generally love the Fans banter at games - hearing the odd pearls of wisdom as well as the total bollocks in equal measure as the 90 minutes go by.. I remember one older punter in the politically incorrect days going off on a rage at a Derby after a rash Gareth Evans tackle on a Hearts player at the touchline by the old enclosure ( now section N ! ) "Away back tae Ireland Evans ! - ya Welsh B*st*ard ! " he screamed. Which was even funnier taking into account that Evans is actualy English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The thing that amuses me(and puzzles her indoors)is that she thinks its just 90 minutes of kickin' a ball about. It's much more than that,darling!

Gunny11 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The ball hitting the roof of the main stand always amuses me (easily pleased!). I think the inner child in me hopes that it will roll down the roof and hit the throw-in taker in the puss. Very occasionally someone hoofs it clean over and everyone cheers.

redm Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 For me, it's the synchronised clapping that occurs during games. EVERY football fan who regularly attends games knows exactly the tempo, the amount and the volume of claps in every given situation. Win a corner when 1 down? It's a furious, brief clap. Somebody spreads the ball across the park into someone in space? A ripple of sparse clapping. It's the synchronised everything for me. Sometimes it's more pronounced than at other times but I just love the way the whole crowd will make exactly the same gasp, grumble, anti-ref decision roar, leaping out of seats/thudding back into them in irritation, or rise halfway up out of their seats hovering all poised for reaction and drop back into them once danger has cleared. Stamping of feet, murmurs of excitement that ripple right the way around each stand, those slightly arsey chuckles made after a dodgy-but-not-game-threatening decision. There are even uniform agreed responses to different types of foul, different variations of them for players that nobody likes very much or players who have been at the centre of attention during that game for the wrong reasons. It must be really weird for newcomers to sit amongst that when it's just an entirely instinctive thing for 99% of the other fans around them, and most of the time also completely subconscious. And yes, the clapping...that's another odd one, very true though. Things that amuse me though: - when one of the griping moany types gets so carried away that he ends up shouting about some incident or player and they're entirely incorrect in their interpretation of events, but they don't notice and launch into their rant with all the decibels their fury can muster, but then realise that they're doing a solo performance...and they get a few words into their sentence, enough for those around to know what the perceived issue was, but then the horror of the situation smacks 'em in the chops and their voices trail off into whispering squeaks as they realise their faux-pas. Haha. Makes me grin every time without fail...it only really tends to happen to people who tend to need to shut up a bit anyway. - the way opposition players hunch shoulders, grit their teeth and do their utmost to keep a blank expression on their faces as they warm-up at the side of the pitch whilst listening to a barrage of abuse from about 2ft away. They always fail so badly, but you know they've probably been practicing their 'Tynecastle face' in the mirror at home and building up to that moment for hours beforehand. Wee shame. And other things I can't remember right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kindly rejected the offer saying i won't be moving unless they compensate me with a gold season ticket in Section G (N was bronze at the time i think) they did and i have spent many a good game in the best section of the ground since...
