Jack Marriot dropped to the turf at the final whistle, probably thinking back to the easy chance he had to win it for us.

Good odds as the ref was pointing at the away fans and there has been anti Starmer and pro Robinson chants in here.
FFS what a bunch of childish flids we have as fans

Ironic statement. Incidentally, would you like to explain exactly what a ‘flid’ is?

You are a serious embarrassment, first game of the damn season for him, he`s not going to be up to speed yet is he?
FFS, if he's not up to speed, he shouldn't be starting,

We're not good enough to be playing players not fully fit

Must have been something else....the Starmer and Robinson songs have been doing the rounds everywhere (including Wembley the other night) and not seen any ref call it out.

That’s because referees are blackshirts

Much as I still Hunt in I have to say that was one of the daftest substitutions I have ever seen. Felt that we lost what little momentum we had as a result and assume he was doing it to settle for a point.

Then how do you get match fitness without playing? Fucking hell.

Goal aside he was awful today. This is the dilemma that he keeps scoring but he’s offers absolutely nothing else

Playing some u21/vertu cup games may have helped. Bit odd he hasn’t

The BBC match report covers the background to the stoppage.

Exactly, could of got some minutes on Tuesday

To be fair, some of our away following has been embarrassing over the last few years, can't be arsed to go to many away games anymore

As we are all aware it's an abbreviation to describe those poor people who were born without limbs after their mothers were given Thalidomide for morning sickness during pregnancy. Bit like calling people Mongs, really.

That’s really poor. There are some absolute muppets in our away support

So, you think that it’s funny to equate moronic fans to those unfortunate thalidomide children, make discriminatory comments about them and generally use them as a butt for your humour? Do you understand the word ‘irony’?

A depressing day all round. :cry:

I hope Rob comes out and makes a statement about certain elements of our fanbase are not welcome here, few fucking kids that can`t handle a few shandies.

However discriminatory language doesn`t necessarily indicate racial abuse. we`ll probably find out in a few days.

Clearly a deliberate tactic to buy another minute or two. Earlier, particularly for Kyerewaa would have been nice though.

:lol: :lol:

genuine hearty LOL about 'anti Starmer' chants.
get. a. oxf*rd. grip.

I can get to many away games more easily than home ones. Bradford will be super easy for me to get to. But really I'll probably find a better offer. I'm fine watching us lose, but I can't stand the numpties I'd be standing with. Keep your political chants off the terraces, don't cross the line from criticism into abuse. And don't moan about wasting your money and your weekend to travel all that way and watch us. You know where the team is at, maybe if you can't handle losing the game, then stay at home. This isn't Super Hans "Jez, I've accidentally bought tickets to watch Reading away and spent my whole Saturday travelling to watch them; they're fcuking shit". You know what you're getting into.
I used to love away days. Boisterous atmosphere, often chants that were genuinely funny. Now it's just angry and toxic. Perhaps it's a decade of the club being degraded - not much positive to chant about any more and not much hope. But it's definitely the fans who put me off more than the team.

Was gonna reply the same but you beat me to it which means at least someone agrees with me, you serious embarrassment you lol !!

I'm no longer surprised by what depths certain sections of our fanbase can sink to.
Anyone who's been to an away game in the past few seasons probably knows the type of demographic this will have come from.
In the event there's enough evidence, the club need to take serious action now. That section of our fanbase needs to be removed from being associated with the club, especially with how it's the young adults/teenagers that are causing all the problems and they'll only be encouraging those younger than them with how normal it's starting to become for certain chants to form from that group.
I don't see how it's viewed as acceptable among that group to being signing songs about player x being a paedo, anything political or whatever, let alone any sort of discriminatory language. The club cannot let that continue to develop and needs pulling back. Even the internet meme songs are boring. It's absolutely tiresome to know you're going to be going to away games with these people.
Based on what I can work out, it appeared to come either from the terrace towards our seating allocation or the seating allocation itself (so the opposite end of the terrace to me). Someone of the Exeter forum suggested it came when Johnly Yfeko was substituted off. Hopefully both clubs can identify the person responsible quickly.

I was just using it as an example because when the warning was read out some of them started the Starmer chant.

Yep

As for the game, better finishing and we win that comfortably. It's down to the players, not the manager.
As for the fans at the end wondering why a couple of the players eg Wing were shouting at them and refusing to clap them at the end, deary me.

We should all be smart enough to understand you mean the sort of absolute oxf*rd wit that sings negative chants about a prime minister and positive ones about a violent racist fraudster at a football match will be the exact same people responsible for discriminatory chants aimed at opposition players.
Get these toxic pieces of shit out of the club. They're probably the same pcunts who booed the Academy players for losing to Swindon in a nothing game.
The rest of our support that's decent needs to stand up to them and tell them no. Report them to stewards and the club. Get them banned for life.

Really disappointing that a certain section of fans take it out on the players when results don`t go the way they want, remember Swindon?

The players don`t play badly on purpose, grow the fuck up.

Over the past few seasons the team have a good connection with the fans, the end of season piss up at the turtle is usually a good event, they`re putting that relationship is serious jeopardy.

I know I`ve mentioned it numerous times so bear with me but it all boils down to the hate filled rhetoric spewed out after every winless game on a certain social media site,and it`s always the same players that get abused, there are a few very outspoken people there who I wouldn`t piss on if they were on fire, they know who they are.

Just head off down the tunnel at the end lads, give them something to really moan about, I know genuine fans won`t like it, but they`ll understand.

Toxic is the word. Last season at Charlton I was waiting outside when all the 'yoof' came down the road singing with their bottles of beer in hand. Most didn't look old enough to drink. Thought then, wouldn't want to be near them in the ground. Inside, loads were stood in the gangways, not near their seats.

Trouble is, if you call them out, they will turn on you as they are usually in groups. Seem in the past situations becoming nasty with arguments, threats etc.

As we are all aware it's an abbreviation to describe those poor people who were born without limbs after their mothers were given Thalidomide for morning sickness during pregnancy. Bit like calling people Mongs, really.

So, JMW thinks that it’s funny to equate moronic fans to those unfortunate thalidomide children, make discriminatory comments about them and generally use them as a butt for your humour? Do you understand the word ‘irony’?
