Yeah thats right rexy, its political correctness gone mad isn't it?

How dare anyone have a bit of fun on a football forum.

Your humourlerss post is so full of dripping irony, and if you cant see the hypocricy in your post, you are blind.

Dont like the thread, dont post in it. Nobody forced you to.

My personal favourite most ridiculous comment ever heard at the football was made by the ****wit who sits behind me a couple of years ago.

" The sooner we trade you at the end of the year Riewoldt the better"

"F**KIN UMPIRES"

I love it when the little old grannies bring out the F word. This is particularly apparent at Port Power games. I had a little old lady sitting in front of me knitting during a saints power game who brought out a tirade of abuse against a saints player in near silence with every expletive known to mankind - very funny actually.

Dont like the constant and unreasonable bagging of specific players but fair dinkum you can have a go from the side lines surely, it is part of the theatre that is being at the footy. A bit of banter in the crowd, a wanker who wont shut up, humorous comment from the back blocks, creative and not so creative insults for umpires and opposition players coaches and supporters.

This is football heritage, it is part of what enthralled me about being at the game as a kid and what takes me back every week I can go, with my own kids in tow.

Nanny state!

If we're actually analyising this stuff, yeah, a lot of it does boil down to footy heritage. It's the way the game worked not too long ago. It's the way the kids are taught to play.

I tend to believe that over time, the footy public is going to catch up to the game as it's actually played.

Zone defenses, running plays, the proliferance of handball, these things aren't likely to disappear. They products of professionalism, fitness and strategy, not gimicks.

On the other hand, it's also a safe bet that for as long as there are crowds of people watching sports, there will be people yelling things out that make others roll their eyes.

I for one consider myself duty bound to make sure that my grandkids generation will know all about how the game was played properly back in 2010, and look forward to my comments during the game finding their way to a forum and thread like this

When I used to have reserved seats on Level 2, a lady behind us used to call Spida, Petey. "Go Petey" "You can do it Petey" Grrrrrr.

Also remember a Melbourne game at Waverley when a girl only yelled when Rigoni got the ball and she had the highest pitched bogan voice. My friends and I still laugh every now and then when one of us says "Go Rigoni"

What a ridiculous thread. People yell and scream all sorts of things because they are passionate about this club and would give anything for success. Anyone who complains about people yelling out at the footy obviously never attended games at Moorabbin, Victoria Park, Princes Park, Western Oval, etc....

Oh look another of the fun police.

The title of the thread is "post your favourites".

And nobody has seen a game of AFL football at the above ovals since last century.

With the majority of people who yell out ignorant garbage, maybe you are stuck in the last century.

Good call. I'm 26 years old.

Why start a thread that effectively ridicules other St.Kilda supporters?

What's your next thread "The Worst Things You've Seen People Wear To The Footy"?

Animal Enclosure · Wed 02 Jun 2010 1:44pm

At the Bulldogs game my mate Luke comes out with,

"Lake you're the worst full back since Harris".

You could see everyone around us go what the? & then the slow burner got them & they p1ssed themselves.

A Collingwood scarf.

Anyway, why not have a fun thread for once?

People who pay their hard earned money to go to the footy should be able to yell whatever they like, as loudly as they like, and as often as they like, without fear of being ridiculed or held accountable in any way for what comes out their gobs... regardless of how ignorant, offensive, or just plain annoying this may be.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is either a fascist or a communist.

Even opposition supporters who scream 'Roo, you big softy (edited because I am ladylike) why don't you have a cry you big girl diver'

Are we taking this thread too seriously?

It's just a bit of fun that has sort of turned sour.

Must admit that annoys me too, K. They're just jealous that they don't have Roo.

I still have not worked out what side of politics our PM actually is yet, so a right wing commo would be a fair call

I thought it was Obama who was a right wing nazi/socialist/communist.

it is the new "political correctness gone mad" and "nanny state" to mix political ideologies for the pure purpose of trying to denigrate.

A bit like a footy suporter yelling "kick it up the guts"
