Banter.

I always like a banter, especially in a football game. I mean, what’s football without one set of supporters winding up the other side with chants and abuses? I think as long as there is no physical violence is involved, such banters should be fine.

I was in the Tseung Kwan O Sports Ground last night to watch Kitchee hosting South China in a crunch match. The atmosphere is obviously intense as this is a matchup between two title contenders and any slip up will almost gift TSW Pegasus the title. The match finished 2-2, with South China rallying in the last 20 minutes to tie the game up. After the game ended, a group of South China fans starting chanting “TSW Pegasus”, apparently signalling the likelihood that the league title will head towards Tin Shui Wai. Some Kitchee fans took offence to that and think that us South China fans are a bunch of shameless twats. Even some of the local newspapers got onto the bandwagon and condemned the South China fans. I mean, aren’t these people a tad too sensitive? I mean, I can understand that you are feeling sore after dropping 2 points that you shouldn’t have (South China equalized at the 87th minute, so there). But just because you are feeling sore and we decide to rub it in further, does that mean that you have to go round and complain like a spoilt child? Everyone tend to look only at the link between South China and TSW Pegasus, but I can assure you, if the South China fans are willing TSW Pegasus to win the league title, it’s really because (1) we are not in the title race and (2) we freaking hate Kitchee. Just because the two teams have a strong link at the management level doesn’t mean that we South China fans love them. I for one, couldn’t care less if that bunch in Tin Shui Wai gets the league title or gets relegated. And let’s get real, whenever South China loses, you lot are having field days with your abuse at us, aren’t you? So why are you behaving like a crybaby when we dish the same things out to you?

Yes, some righteous people out there will continue to label South China fans as shameless twats, but if I could wind up you lot at Kitchee by chanting “TSW Pegasus”, I will gladly do it. Besides, there are too many “ABSC” (Anyone but South China”) out there, so whatever we do, they’ll have something to say. If our existence provides them with their sole purpose of living, why not?

We sing when we want, we sing what we want, we sing for who we want!
You got a problem with that?
