tom_widdows Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I also know there are arseholes in the Red Ultras - like the prick singing anti-pope songs on the train back from Inverness. Was that the same cunt who started smoking and proceeded to spit in my face whenever he spoke and then looked shocked when i took umbridge? As for the annoying flag waving thing I too get very annoyed when my view of the match is obstructed. If this obstruction happens to be because ther person infront is 7ft tall and cant hep it then ill accept it but when its someone with constantly waving a flag who takes the hump when you ask nicely if they would refrain from doing so during open play then my opinion changes. Im quite tall and after years of complainign in my ear i have always made a concious effort not to obstruct the view of those behind me be it at a football match, cinema or concert. This usually involves arriving early and making my way to the back row but this isnt always possible. There seems to be some consipracy by the ticket offices to put sit small children or short people direclty behind me in all ticket matches. The whole 'they bring colour to the matches and should therefore be appreciatted' doesnt wash for me. They need to learn consideration for those around them who may not want to be involved. You cant have it both ways and perhaps if the whole thing was better organised by both the ultras and the club then relations could be improved. Ideas such as not selling pay at the gate tickets for the ultras section so the typical walk up fan doesnt have to get involved. Dont know how this could work for away matches unless they specifically allocated the back rows only to the Flag waving bridage or perhaps a section at the edges of the stands. The main problem with this world (not just football) is that too many people only care about themselves and whether or not they have a good time. In my opinion the Ultras are their own worst enemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 is there any particular reason why their faces have been blanked out It makes it look like they are some sort of far right extremist group doesnt exactly help the guy with the 'supporters not criminals' flag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 If I was in the Red Ultras, I wouldn't want my face shown on a foto as part of the group at a fitba match, in light of some of the crap printed in the mainstream media in recent weeks. Some of the members have good jobs and it is a shame they now feel ashamed to be part of a supporters club, that's all it is, a supporters club. Also in light of some of the shite that has been directed at them from Aberdeen fans on internet message boards. So their atempt to try and improve their image and potentially gain some support is to show they are ashamed of who they are? I cant help but draw comparisons with certain UK residents when their names were found on the BNP membership lists. I assume its only a matter of time before each member turns up in a balaclava to conceil their identity because of ''some of the shite that has been directed at them from Aberdeen fans on internet message boards'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 ridiculous perhaps an over reaction but think of it this way you do something that you know is not popular and therefore want to keep it private because you are scared of what people will think of/ do to you difference is in this case the people in question show their face and carry out their apparent unpopular activity in public 1 day a week But then feel the need to hide this when posting pictures 'showing off' their antics I must be fortunate in that ive never partaken or believed in something that i was ashamed or scared that people knew about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboisared Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 skin up baby - baby roll up My biggest beef with the Ultras is that it seems more about self promotion than trying to create an atmosphere. If they don't start the song then they aren't interested in singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajja Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 To many people get personally involved in what these guys are doing. They are just a bunch of fans trying to enjoy themselves. We all have our ways of doing this and we are all guilty of doing it without thinking every second about the impact on others. Some fan groups do it by getting wasted and bouncing about in pubs or trains singing all manner of shit in front of joe public. Some choose to grafitti on billboards ( ) others sing idiotic songs about mattresses and people mums. A large amount of football fans behaviour is going to offend someone or at the very least inconvenience a few folk. If you go to the football expecting consideration, goodwill and general positive sentiment from your fellow supporters then I would politely suggest you take up watching snooker or chess.

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I've no beef wi them either, they probably have the same tit quota as every other club and have been really harshly treated in the press recently but they have adopted a name synonymous with scum. Unfortunate but true. And yes jager, the "jealous" was pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Is that how few of them are left?!?! Christ they are as big as the "Motherwell" Ultras. I was chatting to someone about this the other day and its had a significant increase on the atmosphere heard on the radio. I have no problem with the Ultras at all and commend them on actually trying to make life at Pittodrie a bit brighter at times. The displays they've done have been absolutely outstanding and I hope they continue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said loon. I was about to slate them, then I read your post and it made me think "hang on, I'm one of those folkies who loves to sing the most vile and hated Aberdeen songs whilst walking alone down Princes Street at 3am on a Saturday night". So I suppose waving Aberdeen flags at an Aberdeen match is not really cause for concern, to be perfectly honest. And if it helps Pittodrie to lose the "morgue" status that it has held for years, then I'm all for them doing whatever is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same manner that people keep their Bebo or Facebook profiles hidden to anyone but friends. Someone should tell that to Mizer and Fatjim.

Problem is I don't think the majority of the fans would be arsed about it. Typical Aberdeen fan stops singing half way through sing song.

Its part of our calvanist humanism that as a nation we are generally very cynical, self-deprecating individuals who sneer and scoff at anyone trying to display any over exhuberence or enthusiasm that might in some way convey excessive enjoyment. Put simply we are just a bunch of miserable cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to 1.58 Would love that but can never see it happening due to the Ultras high and mighty attitude where they won't sing unless they have started the song and due to a fair percentage of fans thinking they are cunts. I have no problem with the displays they do, they are great. I draw the line at flag waving during the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
