When is support not really support? 11:03 - Jan 19 with 4524 viewsjonahwhereru

We all went to Wycombe yesterday to support the Dale, but what constitutes support?
The singers support to rouse the other followers and team cannot be doubted.
Me I am quieter these days looking at the set up, making the odd observation to me Dad. I celebrate goals and applaud good play a little.
Yesterday a chap close to me was verbally critical of virtually every passage of play in either attack or defence. I nearly fell of my chair when he conceded a Andrew header on target “was as good as he could have done with that”. He certainly didn’t like Tavares.
Then what about the people pleading, almost angrily for the ball to be moved forward all the time.
Or the person who simple has a completely negative view of a particular player so the player can never do anything right in their eyes.
All these types of supporters bring revenue to the club, and I guess we should be a broad church and all be welcomed. Or should they?
One thing for sure it can be a hard enough watch as it sometimes. If you are viewing through a negative lense I don’t know how those types can bear to turn up week in week out.

Cup half full or half empty. We all have differing views and see things with different eyes with what we want to see, but tolerance to those views is important.
It’s football, and was it Bill Shankley who said “some think football is a matter of life or death, but it’s more important than that”
I enjoy this forum and good post Jonah

Interesting OP Jonah

Worth remembering that a lot of it is fuelled by booze. I'm the same, much more vocal after a couple; some will have downed a fair bit more

I'd say its an opportunity to let off steam, but it can be really annoying when someone close by is being constantly negative. On the other hand, I've never been able to understand those who stay silent and still throughout, as if nothing were happening!

I guess the negative nellies actually enjoy it, as they reappear every week ! I’m glad in a way our ground is never full, as it means I can simply move away from people that annoy me. In the Sandy I never stand near the guy who shouts ‘down the channels’ and ‘kick it’ every 10 minutes. As DA says after a few beers most people get a lot louder, and depending on how the game is going get more behind the team or more critical

The person in question yesterday was stone cold sober.
He turns up at a few away games usually Southern and is always the same.
The sort of chap who would see the black side of a lottery win...........

Sounds just like the guy sat near me when we played Spurs at Wembley, moaning like hell even when we were competing against a top class team in the first half

I exercised my right to be vocal and told him in no uncertain terms he was out of order

Was it the guy from South Wales, who was abusing Akinfenwa for being an ex-Swansea player?

If so, I'm not sure he was a full shilling.

When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

Football turretts is quite common at COA. I don't think some people realise they are shouting out sometimes. They are in the zone and just get carried away with themselves. You can hear some strange shouts coming out of the Sandy at times and from where I sit it must mean it is loud. God knows what the players think. Guess they are used to it.

Isn't it this sort of thing Hill took issue with? The problem was it didn't come across he was just annoyed by a few individuals.

He’s in the wrong profession if he can’t handle that type of thing. Most managers, and indeed most people earning a living from the game, don’t pay attention to that sort of thing.

It you've paid your money to get in then it's your right to shout at the players if they aren't performing even if those around you don't agree,it's a part of the experience of the game just like singing rude songs about the opposition,it's always been done since Victorian times and long may it continue

I'd quite enjoy seeing dale23years in the flesh at a rochdale game. it's probably been 12 years since he cracked a smile in spotland stadium, constant moaning and frantic typing on his phone posting negative comments on here during the game.

Leader of the little gang of immature cretins.

Yet another home game listening to miserable, know nothing, moaning tossers in the sandy. It's honestly more fun following the game on twitter these days.

To be fair the second half was much better.

The support tends to match the football to be fair.

Dooley was absolutely awful yesterday and there were plenty round me unhappy when he wasn’t subbed, them somehow scored a screamer?

Some other fans took great delight in the fact he had scored. I was absolutely chuffed for him, however his overall performance yesterday left a lot to be desired.

I was one of those who was wondering how Dooley was still on the pitch, I thought he'd been awful. Then literally seconds later he produces that.

There was a lad a few rows back from me in the Main Stand who was sarcastically shouting "WELL DONE DOOLEY!" and clapping every time he lost the ball. Just as the cheering had died down after his equaliser I heard him shout it and clap again, this time minus the sarcasm. Great stuff.

Tangled up in blue.

I can’t remember Dooley having a poorer game than that yesterday.

It really was a brilliant finish though

When Ollie was getting ready to come on we tried to predict who would be taken off. My comment was - Dooley's on his @rse all game and playing badly but he can produce that moment of magic so I'd leave him on. For the double sub I would have taken him off. Glad we have BBM as manager
