Nix v Mariners

Give me a split second of pop over a whole game of the fewkin' things being banged together any day of the week!

Mumble mumble, grumble and another mumble and a couple more grumbles......

We won 1-0 FFS.....there's always far more idiots in the Zone on Friday and Saturday night games than Sundays.....I noticed this clearly last year.  They are the muppets who will always come already hammered, think its somewhere they can be abusive and throw sh*t and are not the slightest bit interested in the footie.  Grab Red Badge and get them removed, if theres no action....then remove them yourselves!!!

Sensational night!!!!  Lets get a win at Suncorp and then another mighty home victory on the 4th Jan as well......

Oh SMELTZY WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Oh PHOENIX WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!

why are we now moaning about the noises we make, seriously I've watched all the games this weekend including the replay of our game, and the noise we make simply puts all the others to shame, and we have 5000 less people doing it! You can't hear the popping on tv, ok its annoying if its right beside you, but hey once its done its done!

I'm hoping we all aren't turning into a bunch of old nana's and are going to start moaning baout how it used to be!!!   As for the "ooooooooo your sh*t haaaaaa" - why the hell not do ti! everyone else does, are we trying to be better than other fans - really who gives a toss!!!!

I agree there were more drunken idiots in the zone. One even fell over and headbutted my mate.

No I am not a fan of people that act like twats and an accidental headbutt is way out of line.
BUT and this is a fecking big BUT.  Whats this stuff about grassing people up?
That is totally out of order.
If you have a problem you sort it like a man. Face to face or if youre scared move to another row.
But even talking about running off to security complaining???
Thats worse than behaving like a twat and a lot worse than beingd runk and doing silly stuff. next time a lad comes flying headbutting your mate, you punch him back, fivefold. Trust me he will watch his step better next time.

Now I have been travelling around the country, England that is, for about 25 years following my local club. Never ever would my clubs supporters tolerate anyone even dreaming about going to security or police. Such a person would be sorted out by fellow supporters in a not so nice way...

Standing among fellow fans is a great experience. Fans stick together in good and bad and you rely on them to watch your back. Grassing is not part of that equation.

There will always be people that drink to much, everyone have done it and it will happen to the best. The thing is for the rest of the crowd to know how to handle this.
In my case its happend a few times, the biggest loss was when we went away to Hull in 1988 to see my club secure their place in the first division for the first time ever. I dont have any recollection of this historic game and it still annoys me.
But I do know that my mates took good care of me and made sure i got back in one piece and that I didnt step out of line. Stepping out of line to fellow fans in the 1980ies carried worse consequences than what it does today in England, far worse consequences and Millwall is not a club known for forgiving caracters...

To the lad that showed people that there are consequences to stepping out of line. I salute you. Thats the best way to handle situation like that.
And lets be honest a small fight has never hurt anyone or dampned spirits.

Hmmm...

Some people like to watch football, not watch their backs the whole time because they are worried some t***er is going to hit them or some crap. the whole thing is unacceptable

Na bro just crack them. Its the solution to the worlds problems

Sorry Feverish.....

How the f**k does starting a brawl lead to less headbutts?

That has to be the most retarded post in this forums history. Beats BBW even...except it wasnt funny

as an aside...the Nix have gone towards the zone in the first half only twice this season and have won both. It's a fact they like to run towards the zone in the second half if they win the toss. The other game they won going that way was against Sydney. Maybe the defence picked up being closer to the YF end in the second half??????

lads - next person to talk about how sorting out problem characters is to report them to Red Badge/not report them to Red Badge/head-butt them/sort them out  is going to be (I'm not actually sure really) - but just leave all this crap aside for now please.

I have been in the zone every game ever  - apart from once when I was just outside it in a cow suit - and have never seen what some people find the time to start ten page threads about - it's gettting a little tiresome for some. Go Off-topic til Jan 4th if need be.

Does anyone have a copy of the youtube footage?

HAHAHA PRICELESS! Sorry but that must have been quite funny to watch?

 
 I wouldn't actually mind them so much, if they did it once, and got it over with. But these idiots go and grab a handful of these bangers for the pure idiocy of blowing them up just to jump on them.

 I blame the people that hand them out as much as the people around them that let them do it.

 As for acting superior, as someone else mentioned - some of us go to the games for the enjoyment of the football, not to dodge rubbish being thrown, or the idiots behind us whacking us with their clothing because they're too busy acting like louts instead of watching the football.

You would think so but if it was the really tall fella just behind Coxey then it wasn't really funny.  100kg+ of pissed bloke falling down onto a relatively small guy a row below him wasn't as funny as you might think......

....might be a different incident though.

Angst.

If you pause this video you can see quite clearly that I am a media whore

Im glad we know so much better than everyone else. I think that maybe we should stand at the gates before the game and make everyone do a test before they come to a game, just so they behave the way we want them to. How dare people get drunk? Honestly, its christmas! Haven't they heard we are in a recession, drinking... honestly, who does that?

I didn't see or hear any of it, apart from the stupid goal kick chant (which should be a banning for anyone doing it) so all up I'm calling angst and meh.

The zone was in fine form imo. And I was reasonably sober.

I like getting drunk and the Phoenix!

I'm with you James....."cos nothing else matters...."

I see what you did there...nice.

On a positive note, I'd point out that we have played the Mariners four times this year and kept four clean sheets.  Pre-season 1-0; A league 0-0, 1-0 and 1-0.  Considering our defensive horrors last year, you'd have to call that progress.

That was terrible, but your (un)forgiven.




I'll get my coat.

you're

My boys! Loving your work.

I'd like to see some of you lot at a Scottish football match - there'd be quite a few more drunk people around you!
