Highland Capital Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The complete lack of imagination from fans groups and 'ultras'. A few years back someone decided to start stealing opposition fans flags and then every second year school aged 'ultras' group started doing the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 There's often a real sense of entitlement about these groups as apparently scrapping and singing some songs make them more important fans. There's also the side to them that make them think being an ultra makes them tough but the first hint of confrontation they do a runner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All clubs' (young teams) seem to have settled on exactly the same songbooks. I had Motherwell v Hibs on the radio the other day, and the Hibs young team were belting out a decent noise. But if I'd put it on and not known who was playing, I could have mistaken it for the Hearts young team, such is the crossover of songs/chants these days. I'm all for the noise these lads make, but the lack of variety from club to club is getting dull. I've been all over the UK watching fitba the last couple of years, and I've lost count of just how many players or clubs are 'putting on a show'. Far too much copy and paste these days.

The worst offenders in Scotland are those that force an extra syllable into the word Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Should be an automatic match forfeit when the copy and paste songs are heard, especially that stupid 'No No, No No No No' shite. (Cue groups of fans sneaking into the other end to start a chant and get their opponents binned......). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Players with a man bun or hairband. Need to be booked the minut they step onto the pitch and sent off if the come back out at half time (or as a sub). -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) The fuss around Graham Potter making light of the weekend's handball incident in an interview is symptomatic of what I hate about fitba. Potter failed the Real Fitba Man test by actually applying his own personality to a situation of adversity and shrugging off a setback as something that just happens in life rather than putting on his angry face and whipping up a social media storm of outrage at incompetence or conspiracy against his club. It's not just a 'think of the children' thing in terms of setting an example (keeping in mind refs at lower levels are regularly assaulted throughout the UK with no protection), but it's about what standards the game expects of its most high profile people. Not only is he being criticised (by respected ex-pros and journalists alike) for not behaving like a baby, he's being criticised for not pretending to be angrier than he is to whip up a storm. I genuinely despair. It says a lot about the culture of fitba, what it makes people, and what it expects from them.

gannonball Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 The football and 'casual' dress culture is rather nauseating. Folk avoiding getting a round in because they have just spunked 500 plus quid on a stone island jacket. I just don't get that logic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this subject, the Celtic Ultras are asking for the standing section to be expanded, which would obviously affect other ST holders who sit in the area. Obviously not all of them want to stand and people are having a go at them saying they’re selfish because it’d create a better atmosphere. Some of them have been sitting there since the stand was built but they’re apparently worse fans because they don’t want to (or can’t) stand and sing all game. Everyone has paid their money and they’re entitled to sit in silence or sing all day but nobody should act like they’re better fans because of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I mentioned earlier in this thread about football's obsession with death but there seems to be a minute's silence every other week now. How often do you see minute's silences in rugby? Or tennis? Or athletics? Or cricket? Or Formula 1? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Scottish people calling it "fitba" is annoying. English people calling it "Footy" is basically the same, but somehow worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
