Aye good pish-take there! Reminiscent of Warrington a couple of years ago
where they'd 'Forwaaaaaaad'ed themselves out so Leeds fans just shouted it for every pass/kick etc

Worst thread ever, started by a douchebag.

On friday there was a pass directly in front of me which was called as forward by the crowd and no way was it forward, ok it was pretty flat but there was no 50/50 there at all - people just seem to jump on the bandwagon with shouting that and offside at every possible opportunity.

May as well call forward, just in case it is! (And with Leeds, it often is!)

Will you guys give it a rest FFS.

It really is awful listening to half the crowd shout 'Forward!!!!!!!!!!!!' at every opposition pass in the middle 40 yards of the pitch.

Although it does help drown out stevo and edie a little bit I suppose, every cloud has a silver lining.......

Given the fact you were watching it on tv i'll explain something which no-one else seems to have bothered.

As the Sky studio (at Saints this consists of a few sheets of metal siding, some 2 by 4 and a sheet of perspex on a scaffold gantry) and subsequently the microphones are above 'popular side' where the majority of noise at Saints comes from you will always hear shouts such as 'forward' pretty loudly.

It is the main reason why we have, in the past, been fined so much for bad language at Knowsley Road after being on TV.

Every club shouts the same things its just sometimes it is much easier to hear during TV broadcasts. The clan mentality at sports will always see people jump on the bandwagon upon hearing one person shout forward/offside.

I can vouch for this... I only heard them shout forward a few times all night and only heard them chant twice. The only people who regularly make noise there are right under the comms.

Let you what fellas let make a deal. If Diskin passes it backwards we will shut up.

To be honest it was just him the rest of your team were ok.

Man that boy is one poop player, second choice and second rate.

I think most of the forward calls were from us in the last ten minutes after we were bored and decided to take the p!ss.

Which is what we usually do funnily enough.
