Apologies if these have been posted before, but I came across these two videos featuring the Bluenoses this evening. They are not recent, but they both made me smile.....
The first one is a choreographed series of "Who?" chants which they cry out when an opposition substitution takes place. The West Midlands accents somehow add to the heckle, and even the announcer seems to be in on it for the final substitution in the short clip above. They have not done it on my recent trips to St Andrew's so it may have died out.
The second (with does carry a language warning) is a highlights complication of their taunting of a Blyth Spartans keeper for initially holding the ball back after City had been awarded a corner. The unfortunate keeper makes the mistake of reacting during the game which only eggs the Bluenoses on even more.
We have have given specific disliked players an ear-bashing over the years, but did we ever arbitrarily get stuck into an opposing player just for the hell of it during a game?
That's a fair pile of assumptions you've jumped to there.....
I recall giving Dave Beasant 90 minutes of grief at Dean Court when I was a teenager.
"if you've all had Beasant's missus clap your hands..." Used to be a big part of the fun but doesnt seem to happen so much these days. People are too busy either sitting quietly, or being agressively angry.
The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it.

We gave Steve Ogrizovic 45 minutes of heckling and taunting 84/85 or 85/86 season @ Highfield Road... which rebounded on us when we ventured out onto the darkened Coventry streets after the game. Though as this was the 80s probably would have happened anyway.
