Cheering an opposition goal is very different from acknowledging that it was a decent goal, you sure they were definitely cheering ? If so that's weird.
Yes I'm sure. Apart from the fact they were hardly goals of great skill, accompanying phrases were along the lines of "crack on Blackpool, well done!"
Probably still upset at CP being sacked, as their original manager was the person brought in to replace him...
I really lost my rag today. My mate did nothing but moan for at least 2 hours after the game had finished today.
Then my brother (another addick) phoned my and started bending my ear about it.
What do these people want? (It is my belief that last season we would have lost that game.)
In the end, I've decided I went to the wrong game. Yes, I was also disappointed it was a draw, but a lot of fans are treating it like we've just been hammered 5-0 at home...
I'm glad that it's not just me! I sit about half way back in block j in the North Upper. One particular bloke who sits behind me spent the entire game yesterday moaning about pretty much every player calling them sh*t and regularly dropping the C bomb to describe them whilst his mates laugh at everything he says. Between slagging off every player, he thought it would be entertaining to let out the biggest from the gutter burps you can imagine which wouldn't normally bother me but after about number 20, that also began to grate a bit. I just can't get my head around the level of negativity from some people and genuinely think they must be pleased when things go tits up. I think a move to the family enclosure might be coming soon!
Not an observation of individuals but a chunk of the East stand today:
Full East stand today. Don't know why. At one point Gomez received a good pass on that wing and set off towards the box; big roar of encouragement should have gone up from a full stand of home support right behind him but no. Statuesque that lot, certainly near the North stand end from where I was. Completely like statues. Sign of the times perhaps, and possibly the same at most grounds these days. They barely clapped any of our play either, but did celebrate en masse when Cousins scored.
Funny lot, i make the OP right, not a football crowd as i expect/ hope it to be. Rather than support they seem to just spectate in as passive and as quiet a way as they can. I wonder if moaning is the only form of release for some on matchday. And I doubt very much it's just Charlton where this happens!
Like statues young man? I was about to get up and ’give it some’, but by the time I put my lunch box down, unwrapped my blanket and put my flask into safe keeping Blackpool had scored … that’s why I didn’t bother.
The bloke behind me is ruining every game for me. Non-stop shouting obsenities at Peters & Harriott in particular. His reaction to Cousin's goal? "Hariott, you useless fucking WANKER". Gonna have to move.
This really got to me last game as well, what's that saying about it being the most ignorant people who are the quickest to shout their opinions? Sad when anything positive we do is met with sarcasm and the rest of the time is spent slagging off individuals, it's as if these people come to the game just to moan, it doesn't even seem like some of them support Charlton.
Had a go at some kid for shouting at a player calling him a prick at the end, his response was that everyone's entitled to their opinion, which of course is true but not really rating a player is an opinion, shouting abuse at him is just counterproductive stupidity.

It is so wrong that we should have to move because of these social inadequates.
Even worse is when you challenge one and they fall back on the " I've followed Charlton through thick and thin" yeah followed. Not supported.

Or both?
