We gotta embrace the local weirdness. Someone makes a great play - the announcer says "All in Favor" and everyone raises their hand. Ref makes a bad call - the announcer says "Any Opposed" and half the crowd raises their hands. This needs to happen. We could also pass trays of sour patch kids down the aisles.
My Brother-In-Law is a manager there. And per the conversation about supporters group and being involved, I think @SALTLAKEJAKE mentioned somethings in the podcast for the week running up to the first home match that I might or most likely go to.
When there’s a bad call, all the fans chant “oh my heck” and when the opposing GK kicks a goal kick everyone yells “you’re not very good mother father”
I've never heard more substitutes for cuss words until I moved to Utah. One of the weirdest ones I've heard while living here is "fetch!" I don't hear it often, but I've only heard it here. Another one that a co-worker of mine uses is "Fug" or "Fugger". I guess it's better than outright cussing but it's kind of... funny.
See, what Boz is talking about would be a clever way to dance around the Spanish goalkeeper curse-taunt.
One of my pet peeves. If you're going to cuss then cuss. The substitute words are not fooling anyone. We all know what is really being said. If your vocabulary is so weak that you have to add those words for emphasis pretending that you aren't using them is just silly.
you can tell what quarter, how (overly) intense, and how close a church-ball game is based upon the volume of substitute swear words.
Interesting that there aren't restrictions for louder or larger noise-making devices that might disturb or infringe upon the space of others. I seriously thought you would have to get some sort of advance permission. Looks like I'll be loading up the trombone and bass drum to bring on game day.
I could get behind a sad trombone being played after a player makes a mistake. Like a flubbed corner or free kick, right in the player's ear.
Cussing is an art form that should be embraced. One of my coworkers always goes "Faaahhh" whenever something goes wrong. Just add the "ck" to the end and be done with it.
I swore for one season back in the day. I redshirted on a collegiate soccer team, and I modeled what I was trying to accomplish in terms of growth on what the team captain did on the field. And man, could he ever swear! Not just normal swearing either, but swearing with interesting and unexpected combinations of words, alliteration where you wouldn't expect it, and some real feeling. So I went all in for that season, but after that, I couldn't keep it up because what came natural to him was too much work for me. Ah, well.
That's how I've always felt. I've never had a problem with swearing, or people swearing around me. I find it funny how certain versions of a word are fine, but this one is 'bad'. I try and look at the what the person is saying overall, instead of whether they swore or not.
I take profanity very seriously. Vulgarity, not a big deal. It serves an important emotional function.
Behaviors and objects that are determined to be a nuisance are banned all the time. I don't think it's absurd or ridiculous that the team has banned vuvuzelas/plastic horns.
You're correct, Allez. The Club has every right to ban anything they want. Fans, however, can cry all they want but it obviously has not been loud enough to reach the ears of the FO. Their house, their rules. Not yours, or the person behind you crying about your drum.
There have actually been studies on the usage of cuss words and it's relation to a person's fluency in a language, basically research has shown that a person's expanded usage of cuss words does not make a person less intelligent and that actually with expanded usage of cuss words a person was more likely to have a larger overall vocabulary and better "verbal ability" (basically they are better at describing something).

I have my kids Sunday evening through Thursday evening every week, so my vocabulary goes through a drastic transition every Sunday around 7:30 p.m. "Oh, fuuuuu .... uhhh ... udgesicle."
According to this jersey review, the shorts feature some cobalt. I'm not a fan of the cobalt shorts, but I guess the stripe is aiming to appease the cobalt fans? (I hadn't seen this accent on the shorts until now, so I'm sorry if this has been posted previously.)
WTF is up with the stripe on the home sock? The stripe on the shorts looks alright, but the socks are so out of place. Why couldn't the put the stripe at the top, or at least in the same spot as the away socks where it looks a lot less out of place?
