People who leave 8 minutes before the final whistle

[Damocles]

I agree with the OP, to be honest.

You leave to beat the traffic, which means that you would rather save yourselves 15 minutes instead of watching your team play. In my eyes, you're a poser. One of them guys who goes to the footy and chats to the bloke next to him about his arguments with his missus, instead of actually watching the game. One of those guys who you find texting and looking at their phone for the entire match. One of those guys who gets there 10 minutes late, goes to the bar 10 minutes before half time, comes back 10 minutes after half time and leaves 10 minutes before the game finishes. I'm pretty sure they watch about 40 minutes of football, or 10 minutes if they had an argument with the missus or are involved in a particular good texting conversation. One of those guys who only pays his money because he thinks it makes him a better fan, and he can go in to work on Monday and tell all of his mates that he's a massive Blue and how he goes every game.

They are my single biggest annoyance in football these people. I fucking hate them, as they constantly spoil our fun because we have to move every two bloody minutes, have to overhear their crap, feel guilty because we have the cheek to sing while they are on the phone.

Look at 111 block. There's none of these type of fans in that part and look at the atmosphere it creates. What the fuck are the rest of you guys doing the whole match?

have you ever thought people might leave early so they can beat the traffic or they might have to get somewhere for a certain time

Well then don't go really.

Maybe if you, like quite a lot of people on here who have done this for 20/30/40yrs+ watching this club, were to endure it week in and week out you might have a different opinion. It's ok to comment when you come over every now and then and feel all giddy but some of us have endured this on a weekly basis for the majority of our lives and if someone want's to leave early/arrive late then that is their perogative. When you pays your money you can do whatever you want without the self-righteous brigade getting on your case.
And if you want to compare what's happening this season with a film,maybe it should be 'the greatest story ever told' because the way we're playing at the moment everybody knows the ending!!!

Though I never leave before the final whistle, despite most of the time having to drive back to Colchester.

People who leave before the end of the game have paid there money and can do whatever they wish.

It doesnt give out the right message but the team are not really giving out the right message either.

Unless I have missed something and it was actually a pop at some of the players who, lets be honest, looked as though they had left the stadium at least 8 minutes before the whistle went!!!

All these people bitching about fans going to the bar 10 minutes before half time...what f*cking ground do you go to? You'd have to leave after kick off to get a half time pint at COMS. Gave up trying way back. Only makes me want a fag anyway...but that's another thread.

brilliant mate, couldnt (and didnt) put it better myself!!

 

[pissedagain]

no one is bitching about you going to the bar tamworth, done it myself...thats the point,i want the OP to admit that he has missed some footie by walking away from his seat...is he man enough

I became addicted to crack under the jimmy frizell caretaker regime in the mid 80,s,my dealers a busy man and have to meet him bang on 4.40 on beswick precinct,i have no choice but to leave 10 minutes before the end

I can't beleive people actually think that they can tell people when to stay or when to go. Fuck all was going to happy yesterday and it didn't so I wasn't going to sit there for another two minutes to see our team play shite. I buy a season ticket and get to decide when I want to watch the game and when I don't. A woman in front of me turns round every time we pass the ball back to the keeper cos she's scared if it's gonna go in, next time she does it im gonna go fucking crazy at her, choosing when she does and doesn't want to watch the game??! What??! She crazy? She either watches it all or none!!
Im not going to sit there for another two minutes to watch us get a bore draw and then sit in the car for an hour after it, I would rather go and drown my sorrows. Also by me leaving before the end it prevented me booing, now how bad a fan would I have been if i bood.
