Dunno if it's just me being in a mood but I'm getting sick of the constant moaning, bitching, name calling and general tarring of same brush Fife fans are getting.
ALL fanbases have their numpties, but one thing I have noticed lately is that some more than others are very quick to react and start the name calling (classless, muppets, mutants, 6fingers, etc), sometimes they haven't even been to the event in question!!
This week so far we have had;
1. Caps fans starting a thread on THF moaning about Fife fans chanting for their team when their keeper was still down. They did conveniently miss out the other facts such as them cheering when Casey was injured.
2. Clan and Caps fans moaning about us bringing up the topic of other teams getting away with breaching the EIHL social media policy when we got fined by it ourselves and there were fans of other teams ensuring we did!!
3. Clan and Caps fans moaning about the booing at the MOM awards at the game on Sunday there despite the fact that the booing was because of the selection and BOTH sets of fans were booing.
Am I being over-sensitive? Are we being let down by a select few fans? Are other fans being pathetic and using any little thing to have a go at us?
I have been told of Fife fans experiencing unsavoury things at other Scottish rinks but I don't see them taking to the web to cry about it.

I think a lot of the moans from other fans of Scottish teams have coincided with Flyers being a competitive team this year and because of our history in the second half of seasons it means their precious own team are in danger of missing out on winning the conference or making the play offs.
So to that extent I think that they are trying to use any excuse to have a go at us
The good thing about us Fife fans though is that we have seen and heard all of this rubbish aimed at us before and its water of a ducks back to us now and we tend not to rise to it.
Most of what is said against us is just to get a rise out of Flyers fans and to try and prove the posters points.
I am not totally dismissing the fact that their might be some numpties within the Flyers support but I certainly don't see it at home games and I travel to a great deal of away games and I can guarantee that I have only come across one small thing over the last two seasons at an away game that was quickly dealt with by other Flyers fans

Lots of chips on shoulders among the other Scottish teams. They all seem to consider us their biggest rivals and derby game. It's annoying because things are appearing exaggerated because there are 3 teams fans keen to have a pop at us, and anyone who doesn't know better will no doubt believe we must be the bad guys. Not worth worrying about though .

If someone can find me a violin I'll play it for you guys. Talk about a non-event thread that's nothing more than a couple you guys feeling sorry for yourselves!
Fans from every Scottish team have digs at all the other Scottish teams and hey even the other teams. It's rivalry that's all.
Dearie me man up guys ;-)

Dearie me man up guys ;-) Mind that Jamsie Boy when some of your own fans are crying over spilt milk (I can point you to a few examples just now!). I feel a "call to arms" coming on Mind this is a Fife forum Jamsie. You don't see me passing judgement on the Clan forum on some of the Miller worshipping going on.

I've been watching hockey in kirkcaldy for 25years and sat/stood in various places in the rink while doing it, and have hardly ever seen any trouble. in fact i take my own son to games. there probably are numpties that go too far, but they are in the minority.
Fife have a long standing rivalry with both dundee and edinburgh and a growing rivalry with braehead. i would doubt whether the rivalry between dundee/edinburgh/braehead is anywhere near as intense. i think dundee/edinburgh fans usually give as good as they get. braehaed, well i've heard on forums etc of those fans claiming they've been abused etc at kirkcaldy. i think that sucks! we do have a passionate support that gets behind the team at home, and simmsy says all the time on the elite highlights show how the fia is a tough place to go etc. but it's always better when there's a good travelling support and we don't want people to not come and see their team at the fia, because of a few that go too far.
Btw i've been a hibs supporter all my life and have seen some things in easter rd, that were pretty shocking !
Btw james t, was thinking of registering on the clan forum, because i like talking objectively about hockey, but didn't bother because i didn't want to be accused of trolling. same with dundee and caps.

There's a big difference between some light-hearted comments I make and the constant accusations getting flung at every Fife fan and the constant moaning about "class", etc. Less of the "laddie" please if you don't mind, I'm no your bairn!

I would just ignore him Ted.
He has the most opinions about hockey with as much respect as Simms i.e none
He cant get his own way and bully Clan fans on their forum so he is obviously going to try and do it here

It strikes me as strange that we're always the bad guys but we're the ones being accused of being inbred, having 6 fingers etc time and again. It's getting old. If they were making these comments because we were black, Asian or whatever it would be considered racist but since it's because of where we're from in Scotland they think it's fine. If the shoe's on the other foot they're up in arms. Banter's all well and good but it seems we're only meant to be on the receiving end according to the holier than thou lot who don't seem to hear the rubbish they aim at us constantly.

Tbh I have heard a lot more unsavoury comments this season , maybe a lot of "football" newbies now attending ? the stewards should be clamping down on this more and dealing with it
