The Twelfth Man

Quoted from barralad

Very well put. You can only imagine the scenario....The players get some remotivation from somewhere during half time and get it melted away when they are booed back onto the pitch. It's come to the point where I suspect the players will be glad to get away from B.P. next Saturday.

Didn't do much for us at Crewe.

Quoted from moosey_club

the crowd were effectively Newports twelth man today.....i was embarrassed to be a Town fan at times this afternoon with some of the comments chants, jeers and cheers .

I know we are playing cr@p, i know the quality isnt there, i know the manager looks tactically inept but jeering our own team, abusing our own players, the biggest cheers of the day were when certain players got the hook, ironic cheers when Kean caught a ball.....is it any wonder that when we go a goal down that to a man ...the players hide ?

If only 1500 turn up next home game then so be it, get your message across that way but battering our own players isnt the solution.

dont think it will help new player recruitment either...we need fewer higher quality players remember....will it be in January or the summer?

Quoted from moosey_club

i would prefer us to act like human beings , throwing bottles at the opposition keeper, jeering and abusing PEOPLE .....not very civilised...guilty of it myself as a youth with hindsight... but it just doesnt help.....it feels like people are turning up waiting or wanting  us to lose or a player to make a mistake so they can have a pop....the crowd was pretty quiet up until we went a goal down...then people cant keep quiet ....a guy near me screaming at Kean to kick it straight ! going down with the Barnet , Slade out etc...never heard him say one word of encouragement or anything positive all game.  Baffles me that if people are so anti what they are seeing why actually go ?  

Perhaps they are the most committed fans  - the ones that go.

I think the paying fans have been very restrained for many years, and things are at last coming to a head. I would rather all our ire was pointed in Fenty's direction myself, but mistakes on the pitch will fire people up for sure.

You turn up at the game and you are entitled to your opinion providing it's not personal. If the chairman and manager can raise their voice at a journalist in public then they should be able to receive the same treatment. I'm not criticising the players as I think some of them are actually trying but simply are not good enough in terms of ability. I am however critising the management team because they have employed and selected these players. If you want to stop people going because they are not happy with what they are seeing then the attendance will drop to below 100. I'm sure there is a certain element of the support who would still be smiling if we got relegated as there is an element who would be whining if we got promoted.

Having played in a play off side that was also booed and jeered at times, Podge knew that there would be a negative atmosphere and it was a part of the Newport team talk.

One bloke unfurled a banner in the Pontoon when Newport scored their 2nd and then the fukwits calling themselves stewards decided to surround him for doing this
Then one of the stewards decided to go it alone and ignore what he was told to do about the banner and was sent to the corner because he was making the situtation worse
I'd like to know what Nick Dale gives these idiots as training

They confiscated the banner saying it was a fire hazard haha, the goons in daft bright jackets

Does that mean my half time draw ticket and programme should be confiscated as they would catch fire really quick if someone put a match to them. Good job most flasks aren't flammable

And there's me thinking Fenty banned flasks incase they catch fire 😉
