The Collective Huddle Compass (Thoughts?)

[Brit-Panther]

So, 'What would you do' should be the other title to this thread.

Ok, i have PSL's, lower level endzone I've been going to games regularly for some 6 years now, heck, can't remember missing one in all that time? And I'm The Huddle's biggest lurker.

Picture this, 3rd quarter starts, Panthers on their own 20 starting an offensive drive. Everyone in my section is sat down, looking around most of the stadium is sat down all is relatively quiet. Except the one guy 2 rows in front who is the ONLY one standing, hands in pockets, unobstructed view and I politely ask him to sit down. He does, but I guess a minute later he gets a moment of pure red mist and starts belligerently running his mouth at me. I'm kinda surprised? but tell him to shut the hell up and watch the game.

it continues on and off the whole game :banghead:

After the game him and his friend are still at it all the way out of the stadium and even threaten to kick my collective arse!? Of course I endured the short jokes (5'8') while big mouth is clearly 6'1-ish, 200lbs+/- and the same with his friend.

Now I'm not afraid of confrontation, never have been, 10 years spent in the British Army (paratrooper) 7 years as a police officer. But I try and avoid massive confrontation nowadays....the body isn't as young as it used to be!

Questions to be answered:

1, Should I even have asked this guy to sit down in the first place? (Bear in mind I'll stand every time and make noise with the rest of the section on defensive plays)

2, If the bad mouthing starts up next home game, what would you do? (I have every reason to believe this'll happen given the meatheads in question)

a, call security

b, jaw back

c, do nothing

d, other?

Thoughts?

1) yes

2) wont happen. based on his actions he's poor and this is the only game he'll be at.

[Doyle]

Take a gun into the next game with you.

Point 1, thanks.

As for point 2, one meathead (quieter of the two) is there every game, the big mouth meathead I don't remember seeing? but not beyond the possibilities he'll turn up next home game...

[Brit-Panther]

Take a gun into the next game with you.

Then you get to see me on the six o'clock news :D:eek:

[Kitten Diver]

Get to the game early and put pine resin on their seats. Try to keep your laughter to yourself.

[Darth Biscuit]

Sounds like you handled it fine... he's just an asshole. It happens...

When I've seen situations like this before if they are really being major dicks the crowd will turn on them. This will shut them up everytime. I don't think you need to worry about it.
