Leaving early.

[latemodelchild]

I know I know, each tp their own and some people have jobs that they have to get to and long journeys that can be doubled in time if they get stuck etc. This thread isn't for them. 

 

And I know people like to avoid the crush and crowds for personal reasons. This thread isn't for them. 

 

This thread is dedicated to the bloke who sits behind us. Every game he's totally negative. Every time Bannan or Palmer touches the ball he complains loudly that they're not good enough. Everything they do he says they should have done something different. Every time. It starts with their first touches and never stops. 

 

Some highlights from him:

 

Why have you done that Bannan, useless, just die. 

I've wasted 10 seasons watching Palmer and he's crap. 

Go on then you toșșer do summat (whilst palmer was running forward into space with the ball just inside the opposites half) 

 

Obviously the 1st one is the worst and tbh I don't know how I didn't turn round and question whether he really wanted our captain to die. 

 

So onto the point of the thread. Last night he announced he was leaving just as we won the corner. We scored as he got to the stairs. He continued down the stairs and left, thus missing a last minute winner. I don't know why he bothers watching us tbh but last night I'm glad he was there cos knowing he'd missed it was the icing on the cake. Proper capped off a brilliant night for me that did.

People can’t cope with change. 
 

They decided Palmer wasn’t good enough 5 years ago and refuse to believe he has improved / is a great player at this level. 
 

They decided DM was done as a manager for us 6 weeks ago and can’t cope with the prospect he is turning it around 

 

They can’t cope with getting to bed 20 minutes later than a normal school night so leave 10 mins early to avoid the traffic. 
 

I feel sorry for them. They can’t cope with life. .

Sad Gits !!!!

The booing of us playing around at the back is getting tiresome as well. I do think we need to be a little bit more direct, but every time BPF drops the ball at his feet the bloke in front of me soils his kecks. Smells like a wet Labrador as well.

Yep, he hates that as well, always screams we should go forward regardless. 

 

We keep the ball well overall. We pass it across the back 4 so we can drag the opposition out of shape and find gaps. Some fans moan about this then moan when we hit it long and it doesn't come off.

Takes all sorts but can't understand why he bothers wasting his money, poor sods got a problem, feel sorry for his missus bet she gets some right earache.

Totally agree. A lot of our fans were guilty of it last night. What's the point of getting on their backs when they're trying to play? Moan when a mistake is made if you really have to

We say the same. It just doesn't make sense to me that someone would spend the best part of 600 quid on something that he clearly doesn't get any pleasure from. Every game, every touch. Proper strange.

But we often do make 1 or 2 passes then hit it long cause we run out of options.

Which they boo. Its ridiculous. The more we practice playing it about the better we'll get at it. 

[Mr. Tom]

Picture the ‘average person’.

A bit thick, aren’t they?

 

Well, by definition, a full half of the population is even thicker than that.

 

(Actually kind of terrifying when you really think about it. They’re driving around, voting, operating heavy machinery etc. Amazed we can all sleep at night tbh.)

 

But in that context, it’s hardly surprising that you could chuck a pie over your shoulder and be odds-on to hit a proper mouth-breather in a crowd of 20k.

 

Bloke behind me takes five minutes every game to figure out how his seat works.

 

[vulva]

They were even shouting at Brennan. He’s only a kid. Half our problems playing out from the back stem from the likes of Pep DoubleEgg and chips in front of me shouting at them. Players react to pressure and the plan gets lost in the noise. 

[Mr Meadows]

Unless the games over and we're getting battered can't understand why anyone would leave early. Few better feelings than a last minute winner or equaliser. 

 

Watching other games we always seem to be worst for fans streaming for the exits. You don't see it on the scale at other grounds

[vulva]

Don’t see the issue in leaving early. Not everyone lives within a stones throw of the ground. Personally we head to the exit, and wait for ref to blow his whistle. Last night was probably a bad example but that probably saves 20/25 minutes. And we score last minute winners once every 5 years so let’s not pretend people are in danger of missing a sighting of the Dodo. 

[Waddle93]

Very rarely leave that early as probably like the vast majority on here I have nothing that important to be doing with the extra 30mins I might save.

Very rarely see a finish like last night though either.

[Mr. Tom]

We now just wait for about 5-6min *after* the whistle, until the gangways and concourses are 80% clear. Park up the other side of Middlewood Rd, always a quick walk back to car as the crowd thins massively beyond the tram stops.

 

Gets us home a good 15 minutes earlier than our strategy of 25 years ago, when we used to routinely leave on 85min and leg it up Penistone to the car parks along with about 6k others doing the exact same.

[Buck Rogers]

Had the same sat behind me.

Absolutely nothing was good enough for them, constantly berating everything we did; making weird and loud ruined orgasm noises when our attacking play didn't result in a Man City-esque destruction of the MK Cows' defence.

They left just before we equalised.

Mega LOLZ.

[matthefish2002]

Think I have only left early about twice and tha was by no more than a minute.

Had a feeling we would sure late on last night, played well and its just felt like law of averages that we were due one after letting in s many this season.

[Nut]

I thought it was great last night when the crowd booed for trying to play a goal kick short in the 2nd half. If it helps stop us from doing this I'll feel I've played my part this season. I don't agree with booing players but suicidal, inefective tactics, definitely.
