Atmosphere - 2023/24

[PPT]

I couldn’t give a fuck if early leavers think I’m an wanker mate. It’s my personal opinion that i think leaving football games early is shit. It’s the busybodies on here who think they can dictate whether people can have an opinion on something.
Wankers of the highest order.

You made the mistake of thinking I could actually give a fuck about what you think or say.
Read my posts again. I couldn’t give a shit fella.

I wasn’t being arsey. I just find all this “you leave early so you’re not a proper fan” sentiment so irritating

Maybe not in the case of the guy I was replying to, but just generally speaking it’s more a case of “look at me I’m a superfan I always stay right to the end, please like my post”. It just smacks of neediness.

There are literally hundreds, maybe even thousands, of posts a season on here decrying early leavers, yet in forty odd years of going to the match and more often than not leaving early I’ve never had one fellow blue say a cross word to me about it.

That suggests to me that it’s not an issue at all other than in the minds of people fixated on their online reputation …. and so we’re back to my earlier point of who cares what a 13 yr old rag from Dublin and his ilk think

I dont think anyone gives a fk about likes .
I dont dictate to anyone what they do.

its up to them,full.stop.
what makes me laugh ,is like yesterday,early.traditional.kick.off time,yet thousands leaving instead of.supporting and getting behind the team when it was getting a bit close for.comfort near the end,but like i said,thats my take on it,i still know people.will still.do.what they want,which is to go early

I'm going to start leaving work 10 minutes early to avoid the rush. I'll see how this works out ;)

Good idea, let me know how it goes. In the same vein I think I'm going to the cinema tonight to watch a blockbuster and leave 10 mins before the end. Who the fuck cares how the film ends as along as I get home in good time for my hot water bottle and cocoa.

There were about 5 kids singing Bobby's in a Box, which is obviously not very pleasant but a banning order is ridiculous. If you're offended by these teens then actually grow up.

Yet another example of city bending over backwards to maintain public relations with other clubs who wouldn't treat us in the same way back

Beg to differ. They need banning and taught some respect. Hope they get their arses kicked if they try that shit next week.

Not exactly good fans are they if they leaving when it’s 2-1 on a Saturday afternoon reeks of entitlement

I’m more bothered what the players and Pep think. Couldn’t care less about what a teenager in Dublin thinks. But the players and manager serving up the best football & trophy haul we’ve ever seen deserve much, much better.

I don’t think it’s being a super fan staying to the end, I think it’s more like being a normal fan

First home game in a month and people leave early!

If the game was a 12:30 ko they would still have left early.

Bellends for me, might as well stay at home and watch it

You would think after all the years of watching turgid garbage compared to what we witness now you would need to drag the older fans out kicking and screaming 10 minutes after the final whistle

Weren't on the box mate.

Weren't on the box mate.

Ha ha, every game is on the box, if you know where to look ;-)

Yeah but it looks bad for those steaming :)

Lots of self proclaimed super fans on here leave early on occasions at HT or FT , but lie about it. I remember when Ireland Scored in the last seconds of the first half against Sunderland away at the start of 08/09. I went to the bar/kiosk, and some super fan off here already had 2 burgers, chips and a drink, 10 seconds after the goal. I said did you miss the goal, he said "ye-----no I have never missed a goal". Seems similar with most who big themselves up here.

You can't compare going to the toilet or getting in the queue for food and drink to going home early and missing the final whistle.

Yesterday, at 2-1 and down to 10 with that Clown reffing the game meant it was on a knife edge!

 

[N1985]

Paid your money you can do whatever you fucking want. 5 nil up, fucking right I'm leaving 5 mins early. I'm 38 years old. I don't need to applaud a 20 something year old off the pitch who's earned 300 grand that week only to spend an extra hour getting out of the place.

If you leave early before half time you can't take the moral high ground on leaving early at full time, which he does.

If you miss 5 minutes before half time you can't call people for leaving 30 secs early at full time. The "acceptable excuses" for leaving the viewing area are a bit daft,.

Already said it's not the same.

People need to take a piss, not everyone can wait. People like to eat and drink, not everyone has the mindset of not spending in the ground.

But the end of the game is different, now more than ever.
With what went on yesterday no would really knew when the final whistle would be blown.

Just dont get why fans don't want to celebrate a win, that only comes at Full Time.
I've probably missed loads of goals due to being in the bogs, getting in late or late back to seat at H/T etc, can't recall missing a final whistle though.

Seems very hypocritical. Miss any part of the game you want but claim glory at the end.
