The Rovers Fans At Norwich

[Tony Diamond Inc]

As for the answer to this ............

"As for the crap regarding burberry/ aquascutum caps etc, its an easy target. Just because a lad wears a cap, doesnt mean he is a hooligan"

Maybe not but to wear such badges of ridicule sure means that he is desperately short of both taste and intelligence.

Couldn't have put it better myself

I have a friend who wore Burburry (including the cap) years ago. Then it became synonymous with the hoolies/chavs. Since recognising this connection he has stopped wearing the said attire. I put this down to good judgement.

Anyone not making the same decision must be completely happy with being associated with the morons.

Hughesy, Your support for Rovers fans who stand up in front of other rovers fans! That's the way it seems to be coming across, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I do seem to be taking it the way a few others are.

The least you could say is, If you stop other Rovers supporters seeing the game properly, then sit down!

About the rivalry with Bumley

OK when we play them. Got no arguement with that.

Until we do:

Why not change the words to whoever we're playing?

City's rivalry with Manure is one of the same city, hardly a Blackburn/Burnley thing, is it?

[dave birch]

Ben, agree, the banter and having a laugh is all part and parcel of being a supporter. It's knowing when it's gone too far and when to stop is the crucial thing. Taking it too far can (and sometimes does) end up with situations like Heysal.

[Ben-2000]

I'll give you an example Bryan,

When the ball is in the box or when a cross flies over the majority of fans of whatever club you can think of will stand up! Just watch any football programme if you dont believe me!

and there have been occasions when i've been sat down and people behind me have been stood, i don't insist on standing throughout the whole game!

Im not arguing for it at all, i agree that if someone behind you asks you to sit then you should do for that supporter.

As for rivalry. What about man united - Liverpool? They sing about each other all the time.

Burnley isnt that far away from us. Rovers dont sing much about the likes of bolton because they are more interested in having a rivalry with Man United.

Thats because styles change. Its called fashion.

It was burberry, now its aquascutum. Just because a few muppets may like burberry, doesnt mean you should associate everyone as the same.

Von Dutch is currently a big name for caps, many lads wear it. I think its gay, does that mean that all the von dutch boys are gay? NO!

[dave birch]

Ben, got no problem with the excitement factor, happens everywhere, everyone will rise to their feet then. It's the constant standing that seems to irritate.

Hughesy, at least Manure and LFC are in the same league. I'll bet that a lot of opposition supporters wonder why the hell the Rovers fans sing a song about Bumley.

[Hughesy]

But they dont, they understand its rivalry.

Hence why they sing crap like 'small town in burnley'

It doesnt matter what league your in. I agree with what your saying about why do we care etc, but thats just the way it is so you have to carry the banter on.

[Ben-2000]

Every team has a LOCAL rival who they sing about! Burnley is about 10 miles away! They sing about us aswell. Another example is Luton & Watford, it's exactly the same, not in the same league but songs fly about all the time! There's nothing wrong with it!

[dave birch]

That's their attempted putdown. It's how THEY see Bumley.

There's still only 3 teams to have won the comp.....not a bad comeback against all except Mnaure and the Arse

[ABBEY]

EXACTLY BEN!

Why dont you create us some new songs then so that we can sing about everyone we play.

Not think it would be a bit strange?

You're just not getting this are you.

I wear Von Dutch, I have friends who wear Aquascutum this isn't the issue.

Choose to attend a football match looking like you've just spent £300 in Originals wil I'm sorry to say associate you with the hoolies.

It's your choice!

[Ben-2000]

Maybe so Tony, not the way it should be though!

[Tony Diamond Inc]

Agree!

[thenodrog]

When the ball is in the box or when a cross flies over the majority of fans of whatever club you can think of will stand up! Just watch any football programme if you dont believe me!

It appears that way cos if a few people stand up on the front row then virtually everybody behind em ends up standing.

Tell me though Ben if you watch the Rovers on Sky at home do you bounce up from off the settee ad bang your head on the light every time Emerton takes a piggin corner or whatever?

Just rem you standersuppers that in all seater stadia unlike the terracing of old the people behind you cannot move! In the old days we could simply move away from the numpty's

[Ben-2000]

I don't have Sky!

No serious, there have been times when i have jumped off the settee yes!

[Nate]

With away travel, are you given a specific seat? If not, why don't the people who want to stand go up the back and do so, so those who don't can sit down?

It's your choice!

Why associate them with hooligans?

Because they have the most expensive clothes on? Because they dont wear clothes from Next or TJ Hughes?

[Ben-2000]

Everybody has a specific seat. I think there are some people who do goto the back and stand when we haven't sold out our allocation of tickets.

You should have seen me jumping around the living room when we scored the second against Liverpool. Are you teeling me that when Rovers score when you are watching a game on the TV, you don't cheer, or anything!!

I shout and jump around the room when we score.

[ABBEY]

i can just imagine chief steward knocking on my door....MR ABBEY WEVE HAD A COMPLAINT FROM YOUR CAT NAMED BATTY ,SHE CANT SCRATCH THE SETTEE WHILST YOUR JUMPING ON IT...TV CONSFICATED .

[Ben-2000]

he's probably under the thumb and therefore doesn't want to upset the missus!

Yea but that isn't the problem is it? Everyone gets a little excited when the ball gets near the Rovers goal and stands up. Fair enough.

But the people who this thread was originally started about weren't doing that. Half the time they weren't even watching the sodding football, more bothered about watching what the stewards and the police were doing than what was going on, on the pitch.
