LiquidAK Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Just now, Leithtoon said: Right I get it, my point has likely been warped by being in a situation where I was annoyed, and I happened to be on here during that. apologies for the rant and appreciate it probably wasn’t in the best spirit of the chat. I’m not too proud to know when I’ve gone a bit far in the wrong direction. at the end of the day, I just want to be seen as as big a fan as anyone else. sorry. You'll find utter cunts among any fanbase who will think less of you if you weren't born on the steps of St James's Park and delivered by Derek Wright - but I can promise you the vast VAST majority on here aren't like that at all.

I was just a bit annoyed about someone having a go about leaving earlier. I appreciate I’m a more unique circumstance than the average fan, but it doesn’t hide the fact that I do feel often when I’m in town before a game that I’m made to feel a “second rate fan” due to simply not having a season ticket. Believe me I tried and would also probably have one could I have afforded it during rougher times. Ultimately all I’m saying is I don’t want our fanbase to devolve into that as success becomes more prevalent. apologies to anyone I upset with previous comments.

Aye, I appreciate that and it’s nice to be amongst a bunch who get that. All I’m saying is that unfortunately that’s probably not 100% the reputation of the fanbase, but it’s probably the same for most clubs. I’m not going to pretend I wasn’t a bit triggered by a few posts earlier on here and that set off a rant that’s in likelihood better aimed elsewhere. again, can only apologise. Had a few cans and not delighted with the day out I’ve had. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a different case given the distance but it still seems a bit odd not to see out the commitment just for the sake of half an hour. As someone who remarked upon the leavers at FT, I just felt the players deserved better than the inevitable exodus, just because we were going to lose. It's been an incredible year or more so I found it so grimly predictable that some folks would say "fuck this" and leave at the first sign of trouble. Just felt like the usual annoying story of that small percentage at SJP being incapable of seeing the bigger picture. Then again I wasn't there myself so that might invalidate my position. Anyone indicating that you're a second rate fan because you're not a ST holder/not a Geordie is a lunatic, but it just seems so unlikely that many would actually demonstrate that view. How does that interaction even come about? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t worry about it mate - it was the lack of context that was startling as much as anything else. It can be hard, but I’d advise an ‘ignore wankers’ rule - and that’s all they are.

Mate, I got grief for blocking someone's view of the match while protesting to get rid of Mike Ashley. I've known people who were started on and spat at for the same thing. If you've been going to SJP for years and have only just come to the realisation that some of our fans are absolute cunts, you can consider yourself lucky.

No need to apologise like; you don't have to justify yourself and I should remind myself that nor should anyone, tbf. Just seeing people piling out is such a trigger for me, particularly when I simply can't/won't get over the whole thing about fans refusing to resist Ashley's NUFC. Safe journey back.

I don’t think I’ve articulated my points very well, so again I can only apologise for that. But yeah, ultimately, this is it, I think I’ve just had the misfortune of being around our dickish fans and it’s set me off a bit, but ultimately not reflective of the wider fanbase.
