Tonight I went and did some dishes,poured another g and t, had  a piss  at around the 75th min but came back to the lounge  in time for the last ten min ,that's the mark of a true fan !

Hope you were:

1. Not wearing purple.
2. Hadn't bought a child's ticket for your lounge
3. Standing the whole time.
4. Shirt off at 80
5. Pants off at 93

Part-time supporter. Or is that "follower" rather than "supporter"?

Left after security said it was safe. As two pissed Perth supporters were being abusive to the Nixs players after the game.
Due to me wearing the nix home strip security thought it was in my best interest to remain at the ground until these two dickheads had left.
I was quite happy to go and have a chat with the losers but my wife was not at all happy for this to happen.

Does that mean that Upper Hutts Theme Park is "Fight Club"?
 
Also I heard that Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome Theme Park has a Tina Turner ride that used to be "Simply the Best" but now its a case of "What You Get Is What You See"!

There's nothing that'll make them feel even more sh*t than half hearted fans going off before the whistle has even been blown.
Get a grip, stay the whole game.

I went for a piss when CCM got their third goal. Was most annoying having to push past the leaving casuals to get back to my seat.

To be fair, if you were a casual, you'd probably hang around till the end to get your moneys worth and maybe see some more goals.
 
A genuine supporter by 0-3 is probably so angry and p*ssed off that they can't bear to watch the rest. Some would say thats passion.

I went to the match expecting a heavy defeat.  I stayed to the end and applauded the players - it's not their fault they were set up to lose by the manager.

You really don't think the players are responsible?

It's completely rickis fault we lost by a big margin?

When I saw the title of this thread a week or so back I thought IBTL. However, with the way the Phoenix are playing, this is now an interesting thread to see when people do leave! So thanks.

This is all a wind up isn't it? I mean even the idea of leaving before the final whistle is a blasphemy.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

FK me have heard it all.So it his fault there is little movement when we have possession,its his fault that Greenie runs his arse off gets himself into perfect position only never to receive the ball,its his fault the defenders left the CCM wide players all on their lonesome,its his fault our defence is leaking goals,its his fault Paston made a complete mess of at least one attempted save.

While im not a massive Ricki fan i do get pissed off with all this crap that its all his fault.We have played mostly sh*t all season and yes its his selections and formations but its the bloody players who week after week are putting in sub standard efforts.

But i will still be there for all our future games,but i wont ever boo them off and i wont take part in chants calling for anyones head.Frankly last nite in the zone was sh*t and if that crap appears next game it wont be pleasant.

I'd be less worried about people leaving early and more worried about people not turning up at all.
 
Hardcore fans aside most go to the Nix to be entertained - there is bugger all entertaining about the Nix at the moment.

I don't know which is worse.
Sitting down in the YF zone to watch a poor nix team play
or
Stand and watch a poor nix team play for 80 minutes and then leave.

So many gaps in the crowd now, its got alot easier to sit and watch :

[/QUOTE]FK me have heard it all.So it his fault (1) there is little movement when we have possession, (2) its his fault that Greenie runs his arse off gets himself into perfect position only never to receive the ball, (3)its his fault the defenders left the CCM wide players all on their lonesome, (4) its his fault our defence is leaking goals, (5)its his fault Paston made a complete mess of at least one attempted save (5).

 
1.  Yes.  He is responsible for the balance of the team and their instructions.  If my boss didn't hire anyone with any database skills, or did but rostered them off for a month, it would be his fault if we suffered from database issues during that period.
2.  Yes.  Greenacre is playing without a link man or target - a decision made by the manager.
3.  Yes.  You may have noticed that there is precisely one fullback in the squad.  And he's injured.  In addition, RH either doesn't assign defensive duties to his wingers or is unrealistic about their ability to perform those duties.
4.  Yes.  Goals express the team performance, for which the manager is ultimately responsible.  (And, according to my view, proximately responsible for failures in selection and tactics.)
5.  Not entirely - but are you really blaming Paston for the team's performances?  I don't think the defence is struggling because they expect goalkeeping howlers.

[QUOTE=ballane]While im not a massive Ricki fan i do get pissed off with all this crap that its all his fault.We have played mostly sh*t all season and yes its his selections and formations but its the bloody players who week after week are putting in sub standard efforts.
 
Why are they putting in sub standard efforts?  Are they unfit (i.e. has the coaching staff failed to physically prepare them)?  Are they unmotivated (i.e. has the coaching staff failed to mentally prepare them)?  Your explanation - aside from being superficial - doesn't absolve RH of responsibility.

I stayed to the end - easier to catch a glimpse of myself when I watch the replay.  Enjoyed the game but not the result.  The goals were good.  I thought Lia had one of hs better games.

Stripes,by your logic it's my lecturers fault that I failed university.

It's my coaches fault I'm not playing in the EPL.

The players have to take their share of the responsibility,and they'll be the first to acknowledge that.

Yet you seem to be going on like it's all rickis fault? Pahleaze

I think that people have to remember that the yellow fever is not an aristocracy; people supporting a football team can and should have differing opinions and these should come out both  in the forums and in the zone.

Agreed that a number of players are playing sh*te, but for my mind Ricki has had the opportunity over the last three years to recruit and play the system of his choosing.  If we don't see a turnaround in fortunes by January, I think you have to ask whether there could be someone different managing this bunch of players.  When the team plays well, he gets praised, so he has to cop it when we are playing poorly.
