Spoony Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I’m really curious about this heckle aimed at goalkeepers. It doesn’t bother me either way but I do wonder why it’s so prevalent in all leagues below the PL but as soon as you hit the PL it disappears? Very curious.

Rino8 Posted January 8, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2023 It's 'you shit bastard ha' Want to say it comes from South American teams shouting 'Puta' on goal kicks. That's where I first heard it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It used to be you fat Bastard. I think. Because keepers used to all look like neville Southall so they'd take up more room in the goal 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It’s always made me smile to be honest, it’s so harmless. Like sweary panto. Last time it was done at VP I think was last season when we were slaughtering Kasper Schmeichel after his dramatics over his hurt hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I've always hated this. Think it comes across as small-time. But that's maybe because I associate it with 100 Wellington Phoenix fans doing it constantly in the A-League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I’m sure we did it to Robinson when he was carrying an extra tyre - oooohhhhhh you fat bas…. Ahhhh. We got a chuckle from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo's Socks Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I got it sang to me by a bunch of blokes behind the goal when I was a keeper in the 80s. I was six Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
