Roeder has this to say...

...about ragey foul-mouthed abusive fans who can't control their anger during matches (mentioning no names---------> INCA)

“It's not hurtful because I've got no respect for these people. They are sick. Most of them have children, some have grandchildren. They stand there with contorted faces and their children see it.It's a disease, a societal disease. It happens wherever you are.”

Fortunately, the ragey element at FCR is counteracted by those like me who sit their during matches incanting Buddhist mantras, chiming little bells and preaching wisdom, patience, love and tolerance in adversity, even towards those who REALLY DON'T DESERVE IT (mentioning no names------->GARY DOHERTY)

Its a well known fact that the Jarrold stand is a whinge free zone, for SURE. Ahem.

Patrick said...

I NEVER whinge in the Jarrold.

When the doc hauls someone down in the box I usually just smile and say to myself

"Thank you Gary for giving me the opportunity to demonstrate forgiveness and patience and to help me along on my path to enlightenment".

Natural Blonde said...

Your calm is admirable. Its also possible to frequently hear in the Jarrold the phrase 'ah yes, referee, what a jolly fair decision, hats off to you'

Patrick said...

"Yup. No complaints there. Firm but fair." etc etc

Inca said...

I'm always quiet and peaceful when I go to games.

Natural Blonde said...

Hello Inca ;-)

I remember when sitting next to you at matches you never went further than polite applause and the odd 'hurrah'

Patrick said...

Yes Inca, once the police have managed to wrestle you to the ground and get the cuffs and gag on, you usually quieten down nicely.

Natural Blonde said...

Not the handcuffs. He enjoys the handcuffs ;-)

Patrick said...

Is that Inca who sometimes strips off and skips across the pitch brandishing a pair of pink furry handcuffs shouting to police "Westwain me! Westwain me!

Natural Blonde said...

WAY. TOO. MUCH. INFO.

lol! yes, I'm often heard in the Jarrold saying such things as "Huzzah for the fellow in the black" and "good goal sir" to the opposition's striker. Ahem.

Natural Blonde said...

Well quite Northy, quite...

Inca said...

Cuffs and a gag. Fantastic.

coyote said...

gosh, so i'm the only sick person on this blog who shouts "the referee's a ****er" at the top of his voice. shame on me.

Natural Blonde said...

Now I have this image in my head Inca ;-S

coyote said...

just replace Inca with Mr Green in that mental image NB. Then all will be well.

Natural Blonde said...

Who's in the cuffs, me or the 'keeper?
