Pale Rider Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 For many years I have questioned the ability of football fans to judge reality. People who are highly intelligent people with bags of common sense, seem to lose it all when thinking about their football team. Recently we have beat Charlton, the worst team I can recall visiting Hillsborough in many years. Yet many fans couldn’t see that and thought it was the road to recovery. We only lost by one to City, some fans applauded, even though City were clueless by their standards. Why can’t fans judge their own teams performances by the level of the oppositions level of performance? Brentford fans sang “ you’re not fit to wear the shirt” which suggests even on a good day for them, they still could see our players hadn’t turned up. Which do you think has the most intelligent fans regarding reading a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Brentford fans were singing that because we didn't turn up or because they were actually enjoying taking the p i s s out of us? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkstone Owl Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 We pay some of the most inflated prices to watch overpaid blokes kick a ball around a pitch hardly a marker for ‘intelligence’ is it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
