I was sat in a different seat today and had the misfortune to be sat a few rows back from a complete and utter clown.
He was shouting absolute shite from start to finish. You know the type. Middle aged bloke, thinks he's a geezer, constantly saying stuff that he thinks is funny but isn't in the slightest and people just grin weakly as they feel they have to acknowledge him, shouting stuff that is completely incorrect and ridiculous about all aspects of the game. Overweight, but he doesn't think he is, and wearing his 'middle aged man who has noticed the sun' uniform. Reflective shades, short sleeved shirt, jeans, gelled short hair.
Anyway, from starting to finish this prick was more interested about slagging off Micah Richards than anything else. He hadn't come to support City, he'd come to slag Micah Richards off. If Richards did something it was always wrong. If another player did the same thing then it wasn't worthy of comment. If Richards stood off a man, he needed to fucking close him down. If he closed him down he was a dick for letting another player run into the space behind him. If Richards tacled someone and it went out for a corner he was fucking shit. If he passed a man on to the next defender rather than commit himself, he was shit. When he beat a man with the ball down the wing, he was shit because he couldn't beat the next two. If he didn't beat a man and passed it short, he was shit for not having the balls to beat them. When Shay Given kicked it to Ade up front, Richards was shit because he didn't want the ball (even though the 3 other defenders hadn't shown for it either and none were in worse positions).
If I had to sit near this clown every week I honestly couldn't go. The bloke was a disgrace. Shouting regularly "I fucking hate him" and how he was "a nugget" and other stuff.
The worst thing about it was that there were two teenage kids with him. They seemed quite normal, decent lads, but as the game wore on, under the barrage of this clown, they gradually moved towards agreeing with him, as kids of that age often do with adults/parents who are giving it the billy big bolllocks, know-it-all shite, until by the end they were slagging him off at every opportunity and agreeing that he is a disgrace to the club.
Now, I'm not saying Richards had a brilliant game. I'm not interested in discussing that here. I am saying that people who come to just slag a player off, out youngest and most inexperienced player at that, for everything he does, whether it is good or not, are a fucking embarrassment.
When the person doing it is a caricature of some sort of comedy 'middle aged man who thinks he is looking good but is looking like Man at C&A crossed with a "pub bore' parody it's even more laughable.
