I've never been one to indulge in the "inbred", "carrot crunching A12 *****" abuse that's sometimes dished out on here.
But I must come on and report some very unsavoury behaviour from two of our friends from Cuckoo Farm, at the Chelmsford Beer Festival on Saturday night.
Noticing dark clouds up above I wore my Southend United rainjacket - an inoffensive Nike mac which has the 'tick' on one side and a small SUFC badge on the right.
About 8.30, whilst enjoying a pint with my friends, two very drunk men approached me. The first began spouting a lot of nonsense before it emerged he was a Colchester fan. I tried to engage in decent, articulate conversation about the varying fortunes of our sides but all I got was verbal abuse. Our stadium's fantastic, we beat you 6-0 last season (eh??), you've got a load of **** players blah blah blah. All very tame stuff really. I took it in good humour and turned my back on him to engage in some chat with my mates.
Clearly annoyed, this bloke turns to his mate. Let me describe this second character to you. About 5'6, decaying, missing and buck teeth, deep thick lenses on his glasses, ripped (not fashionable) jeans and a "2% drinker, 98% T W A T" t-shirt that really said it all.
Reeking the stench of a combination of 7 hours of beer and about 13 years of body odour, he came over to me and got within 3 inches of my nose. He preceeded to tell me how "f****** s***" Adam Barrett was and that although he didn't start fights, I would remember his face down at Roots Hall later this season. I couldn't tell whether this was a threat, or whether I would - indeed - never forget his ugly, pug-nosed, haggered face. Oh, he and his friend were about 25 by the way (but obviously looked a lot older).
None of this was provoked, nor did I encourage further abuse. In the end I let the second guy rant for about 3 minutes before laughing in his face and walking away.
What a shame the stereotype has been enforced. I now have so much more empathy for those on here who have given those lot a berating in the past.
