bigstu Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 You love an overreation, eh?! You must have lived a seriously sheltered life. To suggest that people are going to get charged and that a minority have tarnished the whole St Johnstone support is just ludicrist. Fair dos... Hasn't tarnished the whole St Johnstone Support, but people have been charged for internet trolling for a lot less. That was the point I was trying to make.

PerthSeany Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Dunno - clearly folk aren't going to get charged, but chanting 'RB's wife's a *****' on Saturday did seem like the kind of behaviour we criticise from the ugly sisters fanbase. While I'm not one of these people to take offence at things that really have nothing to do with me, I did think it was a bit embarrassing for the club, Exactly what I thought at the time. Some people say well its just football banter, but i didn't see his wife playing on Saturday? Although its harmless sticks & stones etc. People have a pint, get carried away and think things are funny when in fact they are the ones who look slightly stupid... Same with the Hearts are P... I dont know what the point in it is, isn't banter, its just a bit stupid. doesnt make anyone laugh anyway. Nothing wrong with singing but why dont we stick to saints songs etc and keep it clean? Because the ones who do it are the first to complain when they are ejected from the ground. Every time we play Hearts they bring that song out too Richie will get stick every time we play against him now and I can Guarentee the muppets will sing about his wife every time now to.

I agree that not the whole St Johnstone support will be tarnished but with the BBC now reporting on this it makes our fans look petty and idiotic. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23779145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstar101 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 That's the problem with Twitter....it is too easy to make spur of the moment comments that are then there for all to see. RB and his family have my heartfelt sympathies. Dealing with a new baby is hard enough, but to do so when the mother has PND must be very, very difficult. As others have said, it could have been handled so differently and all the nastiness would have been avoided. In fact, if the Saints fans had known the truth about why Brittain HAD to renege on his PCA at the time, he may even have been greeted on Saturday to some warm applause. All of the above is of course dependent on whether the whole story is that straightforward......... mainstand, ODAB and Jimmy Wallace 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm not one of these people to take offence at things that really have nothing to do with me, I did think it was a bit embarrassing for the club, For me, as a footballer you have to take any abuse on the chin and deal with it. Its part of what you get paid for. I got blocked by RB on twitter for winding him up, no personal abuse but taunting him about Europe etc. Do I feel bad? No. Do I feel like I disgraced fellow saints fans? No. As for songs being sung at the game, he should be 100% focussed on the play and not even realise it. "Richie Britain" is just his name, and anything that follows is a way of trying to distract him. Were I to meet him in the street and say "Richie Brittain, yer wife's a hooer" then it would be a different story.

Jad Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Agree that we need to stop the songs re his wife, it's petty, vile and of the standard I would expect from the Ugly Sisters from the West Coast. We don't have RB and we got loads of money plus got Wetherspoon so I for one think we got the best end of the whole messy affair. The only people I have no respect for out of this scenario are Derek Adams and his chairman. andrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 And yet none of the journo's pick up on what DA was saying through it all. It was his comments that made folk think it was all about money and overreact. So either DA and County had no idea what was going on with RB or they didn't care.

john1962 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I don't understand why she has now written this. Does it take away from Sturdy's gubbing? I bet it's changed the focus of fans in Dingly Dell. I hope its just that now Mrs Brittain thinks the whole thing is over and she now feels she can speak. I have said previously that Adams to me is the villain in this whole saga and that Brittain was badly advised. I hope that the Brittain's can now move on and concentrate on having a happy healthy time bring up their child. Denzil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a quick look on here or on twitter would confirm that the majority of Saints fans saw Saturday as the perfect end to the saga. Today's revelations just resurrect it. However, like many of the arguments on here lately, sometimes people feel that things can't be left unsaid, and feel the need to have the last word. Taken independently of everything else, I wish her and the family well. Some of the stuff over the last 6 months has been farcical though, and to try to lay a guilt trip on Saints' fans isn't reasonable. I don't see that in her blog though - she criticises the few morons who posted seriously vile stuff - but more in the way the likes of the BBC have presented it.

I will get to Emperor Ming soon however slick the fact that you seem overly protective towards someones word that they were in dire family need baffles I will not believe the RB family as once you break your word in my opinion your word is dead to me... So keep on feeling sorry for them but as far as I'm concerned he had plenty of time to twitter, and GO ON FFFNNN TELEVISION TO COMMENT ON A FULL MATCH.....OH and he never missed a game.... If your wife has PND surely a leave of absence would be in order it wasnt..... he changed his mind simple as that and was mind ffffkkkedd by Adams wake up kid....
