geezer Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Much as we hate the fockers I'd just like to say well done to the Spurs fans who gave our disabled football team a standing ovation for winning the disabled European cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofty Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 That's fair enough. Nobody's all bad all the time, not even Tottenham fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjd Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I will never forgot how perfectly the Spurs fans respected the silence at SB in the first game after Matty Harding died. My hatred for them has never been as intense since. Most of the time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBeard Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I will never forgot how perfectly the Spurs fans respected the silence at SB in the first game after Matty Harding died.My hatred for them has never been as intense since. Most of the time anyway. You beat me to it, bjd. Their show of respect for Matthew Harding really surprised me, considering the hatred between the fans. Can't say I'm certain that Chelsea fans would have behaved the same way for a Spurts director. I think it's important that the Spurts fans receive credit where it's due, so well done to them. It's great that they can put their feelings aside at times, makes them appear almost human....... .....almost - I still f*ckin' hate 'em though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I always find it very embarassing when football fans can't find the decency to respect a minutes silence. Irrespective of any rivalry or past history it is surely not beyond a human being to put football rivalry aside when someone has lost their life and when their family is grieving the loss.

Liam Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Not a great fan of minute's silences myself. When George Best died there was a minute's applause in many places. Why was that does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishman Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Not a great fan of minute's silences myself.When George Best died there was a minute's applause in many places. Why was that does anyone know? In a lot of cases (such as the Chelsea-Pompey game) it was spontaneous applause. http://www.nytimes.com/iht/2005/11/28/s ... wanted=all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Thanks a lot Englishman. I'd forgotten that. They indeed got reverence, but also crass loutishness from small-minded fans of Liverpool, who could not forgive the Northern Ireland star for representing Manchester United. ...best fans in the world.
