There are one eyed supporters at every club in the league and whose to say you aren't one of them? I could name a couple incidents in the game that in my one eyes warranted a different outcome that what was forthcoming from the man in the middle. So families had to move did they and you witnessed seeing though your at the ground every week? Where exactly were you sitting? I spent most my time on the family hill with my kids and I have never had to move. Again peddling bulldust. You would be hard pressed to attend any game at nearly any age group and not hear a few foul words. But obviously this only happens at magic. So was it one team or two teams that say near you or were you watching the replay on bar tv? Scared and intimidated? Are you serious. What a joke. At this point your fully exposed. But let's keep going. Supporters are toxic because they lump it on Haynes and the 22s and 19s. Haynes has been a fine warrior for the club over many many years and is respected immensely. I think that any player makes mistakes and from time to time gets a rousing from their own fans. Did you attend a game at the Jets last year? In any case I think the vast majority of supporters feel the pain of their players and team when things are not going as well as they should be. To say the supporters lump it on Haynes is again bulldust and the overwhelming majority of fans offer positive encouragement. Now 22s and 19s having it lumped on them. You are a goose. Again shows you don't even attend the games and you are just making things up. The Magicians comments were as a result of pizza and the disgraceful attitude of fans and a committee of a club that think that it's totally acceptable to be doing stunts like that. It's nice to be able to sit and enjoy football in the back row of a grandstand but it begs the question how dose anyone sit behind you to spill it in you?

You are against magic! Plain and simple. Because you have a mate or two in the team you should know better then to make such comments because the players love their supporters and the supporters love their team. it's one of the great things about magic having such a big supporter base and it's the passion of the team and supporters that makes the club great.

:face palm:
Haha, thanks for "exposing me".

Re: Beer - Sorry, were you there? How would you know? It was not a pensioner and it was clear as day.

Re: One eyed supporter - No, I don't think I am, I can go and view any game in NPL and watch it as a neutral, and as I've said, I'm normally hoping Magic win some of the games I go and watch. Even when I was with a club, I could watch my club's games with a fair and balanced understanding of the game. I'm all for a little bit of passion and support, but there are people there with absolutely no idea of half of the rules and then yell abuse. Doesn't sit right with me. And you're right, it does happen at every game. People swear, good for them, These people are yelling out cursing players, threatening to fight players, yeah they probably are having a bit of a laugh with some comments, but on the whole it is a bit much. And the "RSA Marshall" just laughs at them. Anyway.

Re: One or two teams - I'm not sure, I was not the coach, there appeared to be one full team, and a hand full of parents from another team with their children coming over after playing, before making a few comments regarding the behaviour of this group and moving. "It's scary" "Why are they yelling" were comments I heard from the children nearby.

Re: Player Criticism - of course, some players play well, others have bad spells. But the comments "You're too old Haynesy", "Give it up Haynesy" don't really seem all that positive. And yes, I've heard comments towards their 19s and U22s that are rather unneeded. But anyway, don't let that stop you telling me what I've seen/experienced is wrong.

Re: Grandstand: Maybe you are showing your lack of games here, but in the grandstand with the Canteen, the back row is infront of a walkway where at the end, you'll find 20-30 supporters enjoying their beers leaning on the rails and over those sitting in the back row.

Re: Against Magic- My friends don't play for Magic. And I'm not against them. I do not doubt their supports love their players, and players enjoy the support they get, I admire Magic as a club and believe they have done great things for football in the region. My comments were in regards to a small portion of supporters, and my belief that they are obnoxious, rude and that they don't have an understanding of the rules, and while at most times they are tolerable, there are certainly times I feel they cross the line.

My original comment was tongue in cheek. Your responses aren't really doing yourself, nor the club you claim to support, much benefit. There's far more interesting/worthwhile discussions to be had. So, if you'd care to PM me, maybe we can discuss our grievances there.
