What is the funniest thing you have heard said/shouted at the footy?

[Wonaeamirri33]

It's one reason I admire hardcore Melbourne fans. They don't just have to put up with shit from the opposition, they have to put up with shit from their OWN fans (like the one i've mentioned above). It would really piss me off, so much so i'd think about following someone else.

That incident was up here in Brisbane at a totally different match Diablo, but still, well said.

And as far as "atmosphere Gestapo" are concerned, well, the Gabba admin, in particular, are amongst the worst in the country IMO. They are notorious. I'm guessing BrownDog will know about at least some of the history involving them...

Main reason I haven't headed to Brissy for an AFL game.

[WALL-e]

Yes, ABSOLUTELY right.

It's these rubberneck movie-going so-called 'fans' that ruin the game for real supporters IMO. The morons who ask you to sit down and stop making any kind of noise at a match because "they can't hear the players talking on the field".

I kid you not, that one really DID happen at a match I was at not so long ago.

These types as well as the dodgy 'fun police' that stadium administrations seem to employ more and more of now. A blight on Australian sport. It's that simple.

If I wanted to go to a match and not make a lot of noise throughout the game in support of my club, I'd watch the match on TV instead.

You know early too, if you have a rubbernecker.

Opening bounce:

C'MON Drago! (Maric).....then I have the feeling someones looking....yep.

Footy is a great place to vent the energy while watching the best game in the world, have some fun and pull the rod out, you make like it.

Another good one was at a Crows Dons match this guy was giving Modra shit non stop. "put ya ballet shoes on Modra"...bloody same line not stop

Modra takes a hanga and I stand up and yell BARYSHNIKOV!!!!!

I haven't heard too many good calls at the football, but the A-League is full of one-liners. Best one was directed at Spagnuolo "Hey Spagnuolo, how's your wife and my kids?"

Actually a bit of an old one that one! Remember reading about it in cricket sledges, one of the aussies tried it out on Botham.

To which Botham replies "The wife's great, but the kids ****ing ******ed"

Not in my experience. You hear the occassional story every now and then. They don't tolerate swearing/abuse type behavior, but I don't think "atmosphere Gestapo" is a fair appraisal.

I had one incident with an usher that absolutely belied belief. But he was a complete noob that was never seen from again.

I think the ushers have realised that its footy, not ballet these days.

 

[The Great Gabsby]

I've never had any problems at the Gabba for the footy. For the most part, the security is fine.

Cricket at the Gabba is when the gestapo come out to play.

 

[GoalSneak38]

At the Carlton vs Bulldogs match at the Dome this year Lake was moved to FF. He marked about 30m out on a 45 degree angle.

A carlton pundit next to me (who was about 30m away from Lake) started screaming "Hey Harris! HARRIS! YA NAME'S ****ING HARRIS!" during his run up. Needles to say he shanked it.

About as funny as cancer. How old are some people on here. Not funny most of these. C'mon let's get serious. The only decent one is the Dunstall call

Not everyone has the same sense of humor

Have a cry darl. Or maybe contribute to the thread?

Rich v WC few weeks back... Priddis is walking along the boundary when a supporter calls out...

"Nice perm Priddis"

I though it was great... got some laughs

Well, one way or another, I'm definitely going to find out what they're like now when I go there on the weekend

 

[magic_johnson!]

Ottens was hitting his straps for Geelong and was resting at full forward at the city end of skilled stadium and slots a pretty simple goal. Some guy from the crowd goes GO BACK TO RICHMOND, OTTO! from the back of the ablett terrace. Just about everyone in the stand screwed up their face like : to which he replies "I'm a Richmond supporter!"
haha

 

[muzz777]

Few weeks back, some w***er dons supporter near me was giving it to stanton for most of the quarter and gave him a red hot bake for a few minutes. YOU'RE LAZY STANTON, ****ING LAZY, LAZY!!!.

Stanton then roved the pack and kicked a great running goal to which the other essendon supporters around started giving it to him.

 

[macca93]

With my North supporter mate at Kangas v Bombers. Brent Harvey gets a handball recieve on the HBF, runs up the wing, bounces, keeps running, another bounce, looks around, my mate:

"KICK IT TO BOOMER!!!!!"

Later on Ben Warren missed a set shot and he yells out "WHAT IS LAIDLEY TRYING TO EMPLOY HERE!!!"




Richmond v West Coast 2009

Old drunk bloke (alone) screaming at Naitanui when we were sitting behind the goals "GET A HAIRCUT YOU ****!" non-stop. Someone yells out in response to him: "Get a missus! YOU ****!"

 

[WHOME]

Brendan Lade standing next to Nathan Bock in the last showdown.
"Look out Brendan, he likes hitting Ladies".

 

[Rimmer]

This actually happened many years back when I was playing junior football up the bush.

Our team had come in to the change rooms at half time in a game and our fullback was as angry as hell.

His name was Howard ... he said; "This is giving me the shits, the umpire keeps calling me by my name ... its your mark Howard ... that's your free kick Howard ... the other team will think that I am the umpires mate! ..."

My dad was on hand in the rooms and has always been a bit of a wag ...

Dad says ... "hmmm ... I think that umpire is Lithuanian ... Howard means c**t in Lithuanian ..."

Howard and the rest of us exploded in laughter

There used to be a goalkeeper from NZ whose name was Milosovic and needless to say, the jokes wrote themselves.

Last season when Queensland came to Hindmarsh Stadium I heard a cracker directed at former Scottish Premier League player Charlie Miller. He was walking over to take a corner and some wag yelled out "Hey Miller, I remember you when you used to be average."

Caused quite the titter from the crowd.

One especially good memory from my Brisbane Strikers days was when we played against the Kingz at Ballymore.

Free kick from outside the box, sails over the bar. The ref gives the Kingz player another go because of some kind of infringement. Sails over the bar again.

Cue me starting a song from within our crew to the tune of "Bread of Heaven"- "Would you like another go..."

 

[sainter35]

I enjoy Saints fans singing "whose gonna drive you home..." to Alan Didak...

 

[Moo]

I remember watching a game between Geelong and Freo... geez it must have been a good 10-11 minutes ago. James Kelly had the ball for a good 6 seconds, got wrapped up in a tackle by McPharlin and dropped the ball...

The umpire shouted "play on".

Hilarious.

Hahahahahaha

 

[Chops18]

Hahahahahaha

i do remember that hilarious wasnt it. But cost you guys the game to imo.

That one is gold

 

[Crow_Magnon]

I recall a game between the Crows and Geelong down at Kardinia Park a few years ago and not 30 seconds into the game an Adelaide player has a free paid against him for holding the man. Some bloke yells out 'He's been doin' it all day ump!"....

One I also heard when the Crows played Collingwood in round one....the Crows had just stuffed up several passages of play, when some bloke yells out 'Hey Craigy, have you been taking lessons from Wallace!" (particularly funny since Richmond had been flogged the night before by Carlton!).

 

[DCFCFAN84]

When Pav was taking a set shot some male fan screamed "Pavlich you are a very attractive man" Pav missed badly.
