example of this was the song "you came a looooooooong way just to lose" going into the final whistle. The timing was impeccable (albeit after several determined attempts to get LTAs drummers to sing alone lol). It's a song that usually is sung for travelling fans, but can apply to just about most MLS teams considering the continental distances. Also, the OLEs during possession, making them chase. Brilliant as it's a taunting chant, and *gasp* not frat house asshat like YSA Before the Chicago match I mentioned this to the head CSC supe (he doesn't wear light blue), and what seems to apply to all parties involved from Nordecken (yes that's proper German), suits, and CSC types is [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u-I0D9ReqI"]YouTube - Cool Hand Luke‏[/ame]
For the record, 'Steve' was in his seat well before the game started. In fact, I stand next to them every game. They show up early because they know the section is general admission and want those seats, so for those that are saying they showed up late and demanded those seats are wrong. I do know they were complaining about how loud the noise is from the LTA drums were, and if they have an issue with the noise they need to go somewhere else. How is the noise different this game from every other game. For the record, I agree with Bradd. It is sad that this small, minor, isolated incident was able to cause the Nordecke to go into an uproar and move. What are people's reactions going to be when we have a bigger issue?
As far as I'm concerned, you guys should have to sit in the upper deck from now on. 4-1. The soccer gods have spoken.
While I don't know your exact situation, blocking egress is generally a fire code violation. You just simply can't do it. However, the fact that he let it slide seems to be another problem. Either it is, or isn't a problem. If it is a problem, it needs to be enforced 100% of the time. If it's not a problem, then they need to stop enforcing it. I think we have a possible case of selective enforcement on our hands.
I was thinking more of the love child between Nancy Drew and Angela Lansbury on Murder She Wrote. Giggity!
This whole "Steve" bs is ridiculous. Out the *******, please. p.s. Steve's friend is a grade A moron. Good lord.
Thanks much. Thanks again (See, we're not so bad after all) I won't speak to the level of intelligence held by "Steve's" friend, but then again, she's made the case pretty well. Also, I'm not going to out "Steve." Like I said, he's a guy that everyone here would recognize, and there have been hints at his identity dropped. And outting "Steve" would just make me a finger pointing tattle-tale ("hey, this guy started it!!"), and the way I see it he doesn't need my help with his reputation.
He seems a little unstable to me. Obviously I'm not a member of any SG's and I've never stood with Nordecke, but I love the atmosphere that they create for the stadium and the team. His comments just are a little too aggressive for my tastes. I hope people that know him have a better understanding than I do just reading the comments posted. There seems to be quite a bit of anger there. ********************* Assumption on my part that "Steve's Friend" is male. Replace the above "He", "his", "him" with "That person"
I certainly hope it will be the same as last night's response. Peaceful, lawful, unified, immediate and supportive of the team on the field.
Damn, see that is why I wondered about posting that. "Oh nose somebody didn't do something they otter do" geebus. It's all an ebb and flow and part of my point was that ZZ was working with us until the asshat decided to be...well...and asshat. And yeah Captaincbus, Massive Report scored big points with that article IMO. And if you want to know who "Steve" is just think about the people who regularly stand in front and imagine which of them reminds you of the male version of Aimer "The North End Diva" and you got him. And BA for God's sake no picture posting of Aimer.
That is who I would have guessed.... (him not her). Read the article this morning and thought... I bet that was so and so. Makes me think I know who the idiot is behind the handle "Steve's friend." Just for clarity's sake - I call it like I see it - If I disagree with an article, I will tell you; likewise, if I agree, I will give respect. Contrary to popular BS belief, I am not an irrational horse's @ss. Nor am I a yes-man or one of the mob. The article was good - easy to read and pretty spot on from all that I can rationally reason out. So in short - no hard feelings for anything I have said in the past.
You do. Everyone does. I've gotten more texts than I can handle telling me who she is. You're my favorite kind of reader. Usually, anyway. None taken. We're all adults here. And I've been known to be an a$$ at plenty of times myself.
Hey Massive Report - if you ban that idiot girl, I promise to make your website my homepage and be a faithful reader! It will be a win-win situation for everyone, because I think scientific proof exists that link her idiocy and the lowering of a reader's IQ.
Finally reading through the comments, amazing stuff. Anyone else think "Steve's Friend" is a new level of evolved trolling? I'm looking at you hang...
It seemed like in the second half, someone was having a talk with the security guy at the bottom of 202. I couldn't tell what it was about, but they were talking for a good 5 minutes or so. Anyone know what that was about? It looked like a serious conversation.
