Professional Fans

Post by Cockatrice »

Anyone else read the BT and the story in which the Belfast Giants employ a professional fan to presumably entertain the crowd maybe what we need to entertain the fans and get us to stand up.

Cockers, I have the misfortune to have a friend who loves ice hockey. Problem is I hate it with a passion but make an annual sacrifice of going to a game with him.

So if you mean the obnoxious turd who screams "make some noise " whilst ould dolls giggle their rolls of fat to the background of "cotton eye Joe " then you need shooting as does the obnoxious turd.

Is that not what they pay the stupid stupid band for

I see Manchester United also hired a group of fans to start chants in the Champions League games. From the sound on the TV it doesn't work either.

We have a perfectly good atmosphere at Ravenhill, one which many players, both ours and opposition, have testified to being one of the best in Europe. We do not need professional fans to start chants, we are perfectly capable of doing that ourselves.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

If UR are looking for a professional fan I volunteer. I could make myself available to travel to all away games as long as all expenses are paid and I will attend all home games. Can't guarantee that my jumping up and down will produce anything other than convulsive outbreaks of laughter.

Has the "get in the hole" man finally had his filled in or do the new acoustics render him inaudible from the terrace? Don't recall hearing him this season.

What about that wain who screams "COME ON ULSTER!" in the same high-pitched tone every 30 secs? Can someone give him some testosterone to at least break his voice?

Someone told me confidentially that he died in a guldering accident. "Get in the ......." but he didn't finish as someone stuffed a fist down his offensive thrapple.

How just, died from a blow to his offensive larynx.

Happily, THE Gulderer is still with us. Noticed him last week, so you should have too Merv, picked a quiet moment & let her rip.

We can really manage pretty well without some clown whipping up a frenzy, at a frenzy free moment, when frenzy is not appropriate.

Personally, I'm feeling the pace a wee bit this season. I am therefore targeting opposition line-outs and during the team's traditional lull in intensity.
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?
