CB Saint Posted 11 December, 2013 Share Posted 11 December, 2013 Question. Is standing with your arms outstretched whilst standing several blocks away from your opponent the modern day equivalent of looking hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonManager Posted 11 December, 2013 Share Posted 11 December, 2013 Question. Is standing with your arms outstretched whilst standing several blocks away from your opponent the modern day equivalent of looking hard? Yes it is. Every afternoon at 4pm I walk up the hill to the hedge near where I live. This hedge marks the border between Somerset and Devon. I stand there for 10 minutes, arms outstretched, calling the Devonians out. Last week, whilst walking back down from the hedge (as usual, no takers), a badger looked up at me and said, 'F*ck me mate, you didn't half look hard when you did that'.

Hockey_saint Posted 11 December, 2013 Share Posted 11 December, 2013 Question. Is standing with your arms outstretched whilst standing several blocks away from your opponent the modern day equivalent of looking hard? This sort of chavish behaviour does make me laugh. Even Silver back gorillas put themselves into a ball, huddled up when their frightened or about to kick off (the only way after all from that is out)...I'm pretty sure the only animal on this planet who, whilst trying to show aggression, displays all their lovely and oh so precious organs as if to say "please, no please, go ahead, disembowel me!".

qwertySFC Posted 12 December, 2013 Share Posted 12 December, 2013 Interesting question put forward to the new manager tonight - "can we be friends with Southampton - inferring taking some of our academy players on loan" didn't go down to well with the neanderthals in the Victory lounge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonManager Posted 12 December, 2013 Share Posted 12 December, 2013 Isnt it about making yourself look bigger and more intimidating? Sort of like cats. Yes, you're right. There's a cat comes into my garden most days. If we encounter each other, he stands on his hind legs, spreads his arms/front legs and calls me out. He's bigger than me so I tend to defer.

Hockey_saint Posted 12 December, 2013 Share Posted 12 December, 2013 Isnt it about making yourself look bigger and more intimidating? Sort of like cats. The problem I have with that rationale is that, yes, some cats might do that. But remember, cats do generally have speed and superb acrobatic skills (something most drunk chavs don't) on their side. It's kinda cliche I suppose but I just think that the hard people (you know, the really hard ones) don't generally walk around like that...most don't get into fights or gesticulate like that at all.....but you wouldn't mess with them.

The9 Posted 12 December, 2013 Share Posted 12 December, 2013 They didn't really do anything though and we would probably get into trouble as well because of the handful of lads who also jumped the segregation to face off with that rogue skate No Saints fan "jumped the segregation", as can clearly be seen in the couple of videos doing the rounds. There was one Skate clambering across the partition and one who went on the pitch a few minutes after the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 12 December, 2013 Share Posted 12 December, 2013 was it worth being banned? I suspect the saints fan taken away will be banned from St. Marys the Pompey fan it wont matter. it does seem odd that the Police only went to the saints fan, probably too frightened to go for the Skate he was obviously super hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 12 December, 2013 Share Posted 12 December, 2013 Enough time has passed for the true story to be writ large in the book of myths. Plucky young blues edged out in seven goal thriller! A Saints youth squad crammed with first team experience was given a football lesson this week in front of a silent home crowd, and were fortunate not to be facing a daunting replay and certain defeat in the packed cauldron of passion that is fortress fatpipes. Despite a numerical advantage due to visiting players caught in the travel chaos caused by the size of the blue following, the pompey academy team shocked their south coast rivals and were only denied a deserved victory by poor refereeing and misfortune. While pompey's squad was selected from pure-blooded Portsea boys, the home side's teamsheet was littered with dirty foreigners and at least four of their goals had a hint of offside about them, while another two should have been ruled as freekicks to the away side. In theory that means that one goal separated the two sides after an end-to-end battle that left the stunned and meagre home support reeling, but the battle was crucially decided by a moment of hesitation from an official. With nine-man pompey dominating the game after twenty minutes and pushing for a breathrough, a desperate Saints clearance released the pressure and bounced awkwardly in the pompey half before somehow finding it's way into the net. Despite protests, the 'goal' was allowed to stand. Rather than buckle under the weight of this blatant injustice, the setback just served to compound the resilience shown by Awford's young community-owned charges, and the rest of the game was one way traffic. Though the result could be viewed by some as a minor setback, the pitiful home crowd that had been outsung for ninety minutes by the massed blue army that filled three sides of the council-owned stadium applauded the efforts of the pompey academy, before booing their own side. The boos turned to violence as a group of strike-breaking Southampton dockers broke away from their picket-crossing antics to attack a frail disabled old lady in the away section. Fortunately the groups' assault was driven back by two plucky children, armed only with their pride. But on the pitch it had been an astonishing night for the young blues who may well have been robbed of actual victory in a football sense, but were clearly the real winners on a night when the result didn't matter.

suewhistle Posted 12 December, 2013 Share Posted 12 December, 2013 Went to footie training tonight and the boyfriend (not a Pompey fan) of one of the girls said he had a few mates who were arrested for fighting, (in the ground, he said). Drink was involved it seemed, as the guy was sick in jail, and then turned up and played footie for this guy's team the following day rather the worse for wear. Sounds a bit handbags to me..
