Stoozer Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 Well, the promotion solidarity didn't last long. Why are some people on here only happy when they are criticising other, fellow Saints fans? This superior attitude that some on here have is far more embarrassing and sad than someone who likes to wear fancy dress (and for the record, I'm not a fan of dressing up either). And, there is no logic to humour because it's subjective. And thank goodness for that otherwise no doubt I'd be told I have to find Frankie Boyle funny. Different strokes for different folks. Get over it and get over yourselves. Let's enjoy the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 Whilst I have no idea why people feel the need to dress like Cbeebies host at a football match, or, as was the case near me, wear a horses head, I've no real objections as it just makes me look even better dressed, if that was even possible.

Saint_clark Posted 30 April, 2012 Share Posted 30 April, 2012 I don't think certain people get the reason behind dressing up like that - the people who did it KNEW they looked like tw*ts, but had the capability to laugh at themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you care what people think of our supporters? Have a day off, accept that people have the right to dress and support their club as they wish and it has very little to do with you.

As I said before, dressing up is not my style, but I prefer the people who do it to the negative guys on here who are probably the same ones who would stand against the wall in a night club because they're afraid of what people would think of them.

Legod Third Coming Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 I loved the fact that there were flags, balloons and a see of red and white (of which I was an XL contributor - 14.5 stone, so not a lard arse just yet). It felt like a cup final. And so it should. It was. If you don't wear colours, you're deluded. You want acceptance, you want to be a cog in the football machine, you want assocation and affinity, but you believe by somehow erecting your own 'fashion' perimeter you maintain an air of authority. But sadly for you it's bo ll ox. It's psychological repression. It's a barrier you erect because you fear rejection from the pack. Your sub-conscious is protecting you from your own insecurity. The rest of us don't fear rejection because we don't require any form of 'vindication' from anyone. Happy to help - professional fees extra...

No. How can you get excited about getting dressed up in red and white, face paints, balloons and so on? It's a bit sad. You're an adult (I presume) and yes, if you were 12 or under, I'd probably understand wanting to do all that. But not a grown man. It doesn't show anything other than you're a sheep. It's nothing to do with rejection either, of all the well dressed people I saw (myself included), no one had the same clothing, everyone was individual.

St_Tel49 Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 Presumably the gentlemen with the dress suits on met with your approval, or in fact should we all go as if dressed for an evening at the Opera. No doubt you also have your list of acceptable chants and general behaviour on match days. I think what you are missing is that it is a very British trait to be able, to not take yourself too seriously. eg act the fool and not give a damn about what others think of you. A cracking idea if I may say so. Imagine St Mary's full with people in DJs and evening dresses (your option as to which!). THAT would show the premiership some REAL class.

This Charming Man Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 There is a thread on the Englandfans forum ironically enough started by a Fulham fan (he was put in his place, don't worry) having a pop at our ground and support. Most people on there stuck up for us saying they've always been impressed with the atmosphere at SMS when they've been and that our pitch invasion and flare the other day looked really good. Though inevitably it did lead on to people asking why we have such a high percentage of middle aged men in shirts, face paints and fancy dress. I tried to explain that we're just a zany bunch down here having a laugh but that didn't appease them. Though you cretins do realise you're making us look ridiculous? Nobody is impressed, they think you're weird. No other club in the land has as many oddballs following them as us. I despair, I really do... Look at Man Utd's end last night, not one balloon in sight, not one silly hat, barely a replica shirt. Just 3,000 blokes watching their team without feeling the need to make an utter c*nt of them self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
