I saw just that happen this season at Northwestern by a Sumter defender. It was deserved and I loved it.

SA fans are rediculous. Their students just start talking crap when they don't even know whats going on. Their team could be losing and their still talking crap. Well their fans are horrible.

I may try kicking the ball out of bounds at the fans if they start heckling me...sounds like good clean fun.

In the past Barnwell fans have been pretty bad, and it really affected our playing (well, not mine. I was a child at the time I am referring to; on a side note, I was a ball boy, and I rocked). We weren't supposed to pay them any attention, and the refs were making it worse; every time we asked them to stop talking to us (IE "Will you please stop talking to us and let us play the game?"), he would warn us but never say anything to the fans.

But from what I've seen so far from the Barnwell Fans is that they have improved drastically (I've only seen the Varsity Boys crowd); I look forward to playing them this year.

Back in the 80's, DW Danial fans would line one side of the field, standing about a yard off the sideline. Back then, they didn't play in the stadium. We even played them at Lander in a tournament one year and they did the same thing. The fans would talk smack and throw pennies and pebbles the whole game. Shows how clueless refs are at times. We also took pleasure in sending balls into the crowd. I imagine we were a lot more effective than those of you sending balls screaming into the stands. Our back four averaged 6'2", 190 lbs. so I have to say it was a joy to watch an unsuspecting fan take it in the face.

I agree, our fans can be really ruff on other teams and are not afraid to single out one player to rag on.

Don't know how often that situation has arisen this year (losing and running their mouth, after all they are 12-0-1). Indeed SA's fans are a bit too rowdy, but I don't know if they'll trade that kind of home field advantage for a kinder, gentler fan base. I've seen worse from other teams in other sports but will admit that when a team has a rapid rise of top level play it can lead to soem overzealous fans filling the stands. But it's not that bad, just mostly done in fun and goofing off. Just kids being kids. It's also encouraging to see SA doing some disciplining of their own without getting the officials involved. It's never easy to remove one of your own fans for behavior but there must be a line of decency somewhere

In our game at Walhalla the game was stopped and four fans were kicked out for hollering racial slurs down at our black players to the point where our marking back had to be restrained. It was the worst incident of racism and bigotry that I've ever witnessed.
