No More Drums Please
Does anyone agree that it would be better without the drums?
I have a few reasons why I'd prefer them not to be there.
1) The guys have no sense of rythym, and playing the drums without a sense of rythym is like playing an out of tune piano, it hurts the ears.
2) They have started banging out "cheat" and "the referee's a wanker". Now when I'm sitting next to my nephew trying to teach him to show respect to people, I don't want Lofty The Lion and the drum nobheads encouraging him otherwise, it's pretty immature and insulting.
3) They don't actually start any chants - the crowd sort of awkwardly ignores them. This is why they've started to bang out the rubbish mentioned in 2).
4) It's a half-arsed, ineffective rouse to drum up a bit of atmosphere at the Reebok, bring back the fireworks and James Brown, at least it was positive encouragement rather than trying to stir up anger.
5) Sorry about that pun.

On the Lofty note - did anyone pay attention to LJ in front of the North Stand yesterday? Someone had obviously laced his morning cat food with speed...
And the point about the drums killing the atmosphere. I concede that I don't particularly like them, and they give us the overall look of a team actually plying it's trade a few divisions lower, but without them, from what I've seen, the atmosphere in the Reebok would be precisely null.

lol. Yeah it was more the 'cheat' thing every time someone had the audacity to get their shins kicked, it's immature to roll around as if you've been hit by a truck, but it's worse to call people cheats when they might have been legitimately injured, quite why we booed an injured player off the field yesterday I don't know.officer_dibble wrote:Peter Walton is a wanker though. I don't know how old your nephew is but I bet he knows it.

Not condoning it by any means, but the challenge seemed a bit weak for a muscular guy like Fuller to be writhing around. If he really was that hurt, then I'll apologise in advance. It just didn't seem tha way either in the challenge or the replays.SuperChung-Yong wrote: quite why we booed an injured player off the field yesterday I don't know.
Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos?
He went straight into an ambulance without even bothering to go down the tunnel. Dislocated shoulder by the looks of how he was carrying himself. The cheat thing just sounds so pathetic. I've moaned about it before and I'll moan about it again. I'd love to cripple the drummers and then bang a drum in their face and tell them to man up.TANGODANCER wrote:Not condoning it by any means, but the challenge seemed a bit weak for a muscular guy like Fuller to be writhing around.

If you watch Coyles celebrations for the goal, you'll see Fuller sat on the Stoke benchjimbo wrote:He went straight into an ambulance without even bothering to go down the tunnel.

The ambulance never left. He must have popped in, got checked out and made his way to the benchjimbo wrote:Really? Definitely showed him clambering into an ambulance in the SW corner straight after doing it on the highlights last night. Must be Lazarus that lad!
