Footage from yesterday

Not quite official highlights, but the two Town goals are captured nicely in this video (skip to 7:00 for the goals). Fair play to the young lad for making it.

I like his stuff - Mariner Hodo. Must be what….? 15/16? Well done to him and his mates.

Yeah, well done indeed. It’s funny because that’s exactly where I used to sit in the Pontoon at that age; C80 / 81. I reckon he’s a row back from there as I can see the ever present Johnny Ward just in front in some of the footage.

That vantage point brings back some brilliant memories of football at a higher level.

My lad is right behind him (in the blue coat) the celebrations from all we’re just fantastic, enjoyed that and thanks for sharing

Well done lads, brilliant footage that really captures the atmosphere!

Great to see the goals from that perspective too, particularly the way Waterfall pulls back in to space for the 2nd goal

Good work!!

It makes me think it will be hard to keep hold of McAtee if he keeps going like this, he didn’t seem to do much in the game but took his goal really well.

Quoted from Poojah

My ST seats are C79-81, with Mr Ward next to us l!

Fair play to the young lad being that age and doing something productive on the internet. I’d have been googling celebrity nip slip and praying my mum didn’t come in.

Great footage. Fair play to the lad. Atmosphere was superb. Shame about the comment aimed at Efete after his effort just before McAtee's goal.

Bloodyhell I watched this last night but didn’t really listen, I enjoyed the video but have just watched it again and shocked at the comment thrown at Efete after his miss. When will it ever stop!!! It’s drunk me right off now, these lowlifes need outing!

Unfortunately, it is reminiscent of Nsiala.

What is the comment aimed at Efete? I didn’t hear it

I’m not writing it down, it’s appalling. Watch it again with the volume up and it’s as clear as day.

Quoted from chaos33

About 4/5 seconds after his miss. Standard fare from racist scum.

I don’t hear anything, unless it’s ‘you fat bas*ard’,’ which could be aimed at anybody…..

Genuinely…..I’m not trying to cover anything but I can’t hear a racist comment ???

Love it. I know people often like to make fun of fans with cameras out for the game but there's no way you can tell me he isn't still having the time of his life there. Fair play to the lad. UTM

Absolute rubbish, it certainly wasn’t ‘fat’ and it was certainly directed at Efete. You are just condoning it.

Absolutely not condoning it. Don’t you f*cking dare level that at me. I’ll listen again. If it is ‘you bl*ck b*stard’ and not ‘you fat b*stard’ then that is utterly appalling and shameful and sickening. Back off mate.

If it is a racist slur it is absolutely shameful and sickening. I just hope the player himself didn’t hear it and interpret it as a racist comment. We love you Miche.

Ooochiad….I ask you to absolutely withdraw your comments. Those on here who know me will know that I abhor and oppose racism in all its forms.

I apologise sincerely Chaos and can only say I commented in such a way as I can here it so clearly and it upset me so much. I was wrong to aim that at you as it has nothing to do with you and once again please accept my apologies.

Well done to the young lad.
He was up for an award for best blog, does anyone know if he won??

Thank you my friend. I accept that, and let that be the end of it. I so hope people are mishearing the comment. It would be utterly appalling if it was, as some are hearing it, a racist yell. Really upsetting and angering if it is a racist shout. Absolutely abhorrent in all forms, everywhere in society. Efete is beloved and a hero to us. If he thought he heard a racist shout I would be utterly ashamed and beside myself like the rest of us. UTM

I hope Mariner Hodo does win an award. I think it’s really positive and creative for a teenager to be producing such engaging and positive internet content.

There have been a number of youngsters providing this kind of video on Town in recent years, and almost without exception they have been really good. They have become my go-to source for getting the true atmosphere of the game, and l think they make a great contribution. The editing skills, etc that they acquire must stand them in very good stead in a future career. Hodo seems to have outlived them all. Good luck to him!

I was in the Pontoon and heard the shout behind me. I thought it was you fat illegitimate to the goalie for saving it, and having listened again I still think that.

There was absolutely no reaction from the Pontoon that I am aware of, and such a ludicrous and terrible thing to say would have brought condemnation from all quarters of the Pontoon.

Slow the audio down to 0.75. It is clear what was said. If you believe you heard fat then I don't dispute that. He clearly didn't say fat.

If he said what you allege he would have been evicted.  There is no way a shout like that, in complete isolation and so far removed from the general thrust of Towns amazing support would not have been acted upon.

If you hear it different then fair enough and we will never know for sure.

Ive listened 5 times and i think its Fat

For what it’s worth, I’ve just listened it to it 4 times at the slower speed, and I”m convinced that he said “fat”. In that case, I’d have thought it’s not even aimed at a Town player. It’s quite likely that there’s cognitive dissonance at play here (for the psychologists among you!😉).

It's actually a tricky one . If your listening for Fat that's what you hear . If your listening for black it sounds like that too . I've gave it 10 listens and after been positive it was black I'm not sure now tbh

All opposition goalies are fat, especially when they take a goal kick! And in this case he was a fat illegitimate for keeping Efete's shot out according to the shout, in my opinion, both in real-time and listening to the video.

I'm sure some audio expect can sort this out though .

That’s exactly what I was getting at in my final sentence.I guess I should have dispensed with the technical stuff😅.

Are you insinuating that he would like there to have been an openly racist comment directed at a player?

I'd say more confirmation bias but we're splitting hairs

?

I’m insinuating that he wants a reason to slag the fans off while showing what a great person he is. Hence why he found something out of absolutely nothing

To me it sounds like "flat illegitimate"

Real shame this thread had to descend into this. Thought it would be nice to share some video of a great day and showcase the work of a young town fan.

Just different theories addressing similar issues. You take your choice😉

You did, and we have all enjoyed it. Thanks for posting it.

It's just gone off on a tangent due to some fans thinking the worst about somebody, whilst some of us think it was nothing of the sort. I don't think anybody would be daft enough to shout out at the top of their voice what was alleged but only he knows the truth.

When I watch such stuff I do wonder....imagine if we had such technology earlier in my ln my lifetime...Brolly scoring 2 against Everton, Wilko against Everton, Drinkall against Sheff Utd, Fulham play offs, Burnett at Wembley.....etc
The crowds, the atmosphere,  those moments, largely only caught in the minds of those that were there.
I cried my eyes out in 98 when the team walked out for the firsttime ,  the first time only happens once and back then you were there or you missed it.
Hats off to any Vloggers capturing todays action.

Just read the rest of this thread after my previous post.....

What you hear is what you hear...sounded black to me ....however was clearly not from the person making the vlog and probably 5 rows back, so whatever was said I think it's important to clarify nothing to do with the person creating the video.

After watching and playing back several times it is 100%  clear to me it is fat bástard NOT black !
There is no place for any racist behaviour in football or indeed any society.
I honestly believe that those amongst us that believe it was a racist slur should maybe go to spec savers ( for a hearing test)

I watched the video before the accusation was made and heard the comment and was convinced it was fat, just watched again on several occasions and it's clear to me they say fat.

I know I'm getting on but my hearings still good.
Defo 'you FAT illegitimate'
Infact if you listen just before that you can hear some singing 'you fat illegitimate' to the keeper.
I will have to disagree with you 100% about what was shouted.

100% "fat" for me too. The lad does some great vlogs

Fair enough if some of you think the person says fat, and I stated in my first statement that I didn’t even hear it. I only listened in again once someone else had mentioned it and because of that comment I maybe was swayed into hearing of black. I don’t know, I still hear it but it’s very difficult I admit. I’m sorry if I’ve upset people but it certainly wasn’t my intention. As for Mariners Hodo’s videos, I’ve been watching them for weeks as they are so good. Great to see a lad and his mates having such a good time and they really capture the atmosphere at the matches. UTM.

It sounded like "You FLAT barstad" to me. So what does that mean?!

Hi all, we have looked, and listened, to Mariner Hodo's video, numerous times, in particular the section where people are saying that there was racist language used. We can only hear someone shout, questioning the waistline and parentage of the goalkeeper. This was a recurring shout throughout the half. If we, as his parents, had any doubt about it we would have got him to, at least, edit it out.

Love all of your kind words about his vlogs and he loves doing them. Hopefully he will break the internet with a vlog of us winning the play off final.

UTM

i didn't wanna listen lest it was black but the thread got the better of me.  I amused to listening to pronunciation after teacher English as a second language for years.  Sounds like, 'fat".

Quoted from TonySmith

It did to me as well

My 74year old ears told me it was   FAT   !!!

In these very PC times is it ok to call someone “fat”, could be a case of Humberside police setting up a team to look into these comments.

Here's his latest offering from last night!
