Hard to believe the same bloke wrote this report of the same match... linkIt simply proves him to be a hypocritical nob. Or a liar. But most probably both. Wrote one before and one after the Everton match

As long as we create an atmosphere does it matter what is sung?? Journalists with an agenda will look for any reason to stick the knife in... personally thought it was a good bit of mocking of LVG and likewise when we all did the wenger. I didn't realise that we had to have clappy sticks and only sing positive own team songs in the premiership. Excuse me for breathing Mr journalist. Your obviously ever so slightly sensitive. Shame

I personally love the "YOU'RE FUCKING SHIIIIIIT" chant. I feel sorry for you! I can't begin to understand your misguided courage in identifying yourself as such a person. Don't you even begin to understand that if a team is as bad as the one you thrive in singing about then we are disrespecting our own side because in such a case we should be winning more convincingly. To sing the song when we played against Everton on Saturday totally disregarded the reality of the game where we battled brilliantly against skill and flair and came out on top. I'll repeat hat the chant is moronic and cretinous.Set yourself some standards in life especially for any offspring you may have. Wow, nice one

I find it reassuring that the sensitive writers of the Guardian are uncomfortable with our support. I couldn't give two flying fucks to be honest :-)

Very very strange , he's seems to miss the point that home advantage and intimidation go hand in hand and undoubtably has an effect , what's the point of having home advantage if you don't make the most of it ? To be honest he sounds a bit lemon ! I'm secure in my own confidence that I'm no "lemon" Do you honestly think that you are "intimidating" the opposition with your Cess Pitt chants My perception from your post is that you don't begin to understand the article! I have witnessed fans of Man United, Celtic, Rangers and Liverpool in the past, historically class teams, and experienced the kind of class the writer of the article pertains to. Unfortunately society is in the vortex of the plug hole and standards are a thing of the past. Only four letter profanities can be understood nowadays by today's generation and all those once great fans are slowly disappearing. Would those great Man U supporters include the group who trashed the train I was travelling home on in 1975?

I don't think we do it enough. We've taken our eye off the ball a bit recently. We need far more 'Danny Rose' sessions where we bully players off the pitch to the subs bench. I do my bit. The old lady who sits next to me in the QRL turned, smiled and said after one of my volleys at ManU "you're a bit of a bastard you are aren't you". It's not one of the most feared places in the land for teams to visit because we hand out compliments. Get into them, I say.

It's time we upped the ante a bit. Just pick a random name before the game and whale into him until he's had enough.

Ask gareth Barry about the effect the Britannia crowd had on his performance in our first premier league home game v villa.
The more hostile the atmosphere the bigger effect it has on the opposition without a doubt.
SWP, rose, Gerrard and robinho have all felt the full force of it. Long may that continue.

Booing Aaron Ramsay would probably be the worst example of what he is talking about. It is lowlife behaviour and discredits the club. Same goes for when Arsenal fans boo Ryan.
There is media bias but the media are fickle, and the bias will change very soon if we can keep up the current level on the pitch.

But the amount of shit that's been levelled our way from rival supporters since promotion. Are we really any worse than other fans? He's talking bollocks.

There is some media bias so its not as bad as he makes out. But we do suffer from a "short man" mentality in some sections of the support.

I suppose it could be booing now you mention it. It doesn't sound like thousands if people booing, it always sounds like about a dozen of them have indigestion

I've got long hair, and last season at the Etihad I got 'gyppo' shouts off some Man City fans; two charming gentleman asked me where my caravan was. The only time recently I've felt a bit uncomfortable at one of our chants was at the FA cup game at Spotland when there was a weak chorus of 'You're just a town full of paedos' towards the end when we were well up on them. I had had a good chat and a drink with some of the Rochdale fans in the bar beforehand and they were a good lot; it just seemed unecessary. But had it been a 'big' club, I probably wouldn't have minded, which probably makes me a hypocrite.

You couldn't have picked a better first away game for your lad than the Everton match, partick - was he converted? Did you sample the delights of the mixed Chinese /chips opposite the club shop in the end?

He was into Stoke before hand - he's always wearing a Stoke shirt when he's playing football with his pals. This game I think embedded into his soul. He's not into Chinese so he had a hot dog from the stall in the Fan Zone area.

Making a giant P45 and waving it about whilst wearing monster gloves and a Jose mask is plain lame/naff/gay/weird.
I can sort of see the bloke's point. We're a big(ish) successful top flight club. The 'angry and indignant about everything' schtick is sometimes wearisome. Fair do's lets unleash hell when there's a dodgy refereeing decision, or there's a Wenger or a Rose being a cockwomble...
But sometimes i think we could carry ourselves a bit more confidently, instead of defaulting straight to every pundit/journalist is a cunt mode all the time (as this thread shows). Seems as though we're a bit insecure sometimes. Can see how this may appear as an inferiority complex to outsiders. I think that's what this bloke was getting at

I remember the first time I met elystokie he was sitting next to me away at Swindon about fifteen years ago and I thought to myself ... who the fuck is this fuckin' nutter? He's going to either harm himself or smomebody else before the afternoon is over!
Top bloke he is though I found out!

Loved Proudstokie's reply. Well done, that man. Just read all of those comments and can honestly say they warned the cockles of my heart Talk about putting him (and others) in the picture. Brilliant, most were sensible and articulate too. Well done guys.
