It gets the crowd going so don't see it as a bad thing. Just relax, sit back and let yourself be overcome with a bit of cheese every now and then Steve! :ayatollah:

Zabier it was worse than a bit of cheese mate , it was bloody embarrasing and cringeworthy and so felt everybody around me in the hundreds.

I have nothing against Ali by the way hes a smashing fella - he was probably under instruction i guess.

Daya if you thought yesterday was bad, the QPR game was like he was a childrens entertainer on tv !

I got slagged off big time on here last week for bringing it up, I don't see many people disagreeing with you, perhaps its because you are a well known poster !

Cringeworthy was the exact word I used last week !

Dont worry i will get a slagging because people will say im negative and all that. They just dont like the truth. I missed the QPR game but Daughters told me how awful it was .

Im only guessing but i guess hes under instruction from above . Family Club of the year and all that.

Trooper we didn't slate you for comments about Ali, it's what you said about the way the welsh language and heritage is used at the club.

Well sorry If a tannoy man is needed to create atmosphere at a football match then the games fooked.

It felt weird yesterday, Ali tried to get the crowd going, but it was like we couldn't be bothered, as soon as the chant died down, nothing, Ali tries again, same thing, it just felt like everyone was expecting an easy win.

Personally I felt it was really odd atmosphere there yesterday in the build up to the game and minutes into kick off, against QPR and pompey it was pretty much bouncing.

By the way I was sat at the back of Ninian stand 115

I personally thought it was cringeworthy , but several fans by me like d it !!!

Re: Ali on the Tannoy

Everyone has their opinion on yesterday's Tannoy actions!

Personally i thought it was awful! since when have we needed some one to start songs? I could have curled up in my seat i was that embarrased!

The embarrasment went from the tannoy, onto the pitch for the first 25 minutes to the players parading in front of an empty stadium? what did they expect?

Re: Ali on the Tannoy

i disagree with a few of you, i can see where your coming from but with all the moaning from months back, it is a good way of getting the passion back and all the fans singing. i like it, but i hope it isn't over used and becomes boring. i'm sure ali will find a good mixture of songs for us to sing before each game.

He got the crowd going so that was brill. So next time get him in the dressing room to get the players going as well :lol: :ayatollah:

IT WAS AN UTTER EMBARRASSMENT.

He has got to be the worse tannoy person in the country, his relentless cheesy jokes and woeful songs make us a laughing stock.

Getting everyone to do the ayatollah aswell, oh deary me, what have we come to.

Agree, so cringeworthy - my 82 year old grandad curls up in his seat in embarrassment and shakes his head. Says it all. And the ayatollah as well :roll: Some people around me didn't know what the f**k it was ! Don't blame them really with that plonker on the tannoy ! I'd say we might as well drop it, it makes us look a right bunch if twats.

I cringed too.......but fair play it worked a treat.

Re: Ali on the Tannoy

Tue May 03, 2011 5:22 pm

I thought it was like being on a sunday school trip....and we had to sing songs before we got our sandwiches and pop.... :roll:

think Ali could do it better next time with one stand doing the singinging and another the actions....


........or the one where you miss out a word each time and just do the actions, until there is complete silence everywhere, with people just waving their hands.......oh no we have got that already !!!!! :shock:
