The bell for Bell

[cruiser]

Did anyone else noticed the ringing bell everytime Peter Bell got the ball last night? It was quite funny, cause the commentators would say "Bell" at the same time that a bell rang. Cheap thrills on a Friday night.

The bell-ringer has been at it for years. I think it is great. We get under the seat every time Crouch gets the ball, but it isn't quite the same. We do it when Benny gets it to, but for different reasons.

Your hearing things,time for a hearing aid.

I assume you were listening to ABC radio, I first heard it a couple of years ago and the commentators seldom mention it nowadays as it's a regular at Freo home games. It's great to hear the bell after Bell gets a touch or Freo score a goal and it sure beats the sound of several thousand crapper clappers the Illegals use at Subi.

No, I heard it on the TV broadcast of the game. The person with the bell must be seated very close to the commentary box because its very audible.

I can't stand it. Fancy a person conciously going to the football and taking a bell for the sole purpose of ringing it when a certain player touches the ball. Pathetic. Get a life. The same can be said for their interminable drum beating.

I don't really mind the bell, it's not like I go to Freo home games. If someone brought a police siren to Subi and it went off everytime Cousins or Kerr got the ball, I'd be really happy.

How do you make that empty hall sound, whenever he gets the ball?

Now THAT would be funny

Somebody should suggest it to the Dockerland.com blokes, they appear to be up for any challenge to take the piss out of the Illegals.

I remember the days when Perovic played for Carlton and everytime he got the ball the crowd would all go "woof" (well thats what is sounded like) - it was great - added to the atmosphere. I heard the bell on Friday night on the TV coverage - granted if you were sitting next to the person with the bell for the first time you would get a bit sick of it, but I suspect that he/she is amoungst a large group of supporters who dont mind it.

It could be worse, you could sit next to a group who constantly slurp red wine all game !
