Walked past Scott Prince today

Seriously though , these blokes may have been in a hurry and once they stop for one autograph or chat they have to sign everyone's or someone comes on a Forum and complains

But as FT said even a nod of acknowledgement would of been nice

Sometimes though we are in our own world , I have walked straight past my Mrs and kids at a shopping mall when I have been worried about something else and in a hurry

The worse thing I hate seeing is when famous people are approached while they are eating dinner for an autograph

Put yourself in their shoes for a moment , wait until they have at least finished their meal
 
On topic, how many of you like being set upon by World Vision or those set up stands that try to stop you and rope you into buying their products? I'm usually in a hurry and I'm quite short (not rude,) with them. I hate being stopped by people I don't know.
 
I live not far from the nearest big shopping centre to Concord oval, and often see Farah,Moltzen and a few others and never would I expect them to say something to me because I am wearing my tigers hat or what ever. I just walk past make eye contact and that is all. In no way do I feel offended, they way I see it they need a bit of space away from football
 
I was at a pub in Concord about halfway through last season when all our polynesian players (Blair, Taupau, Ava, Lulia, Rowe, Simona, Akauola, Bodene) walked in for a feed. I was sitting at a table with my Mrs whilst they were ordering about 10m away and they still acknowledged that i was a tigers supporter. All they had to do was nod their head at me to make my day, my girlfriend still reckons my reaction was that like that of a 7 year old :laughing:

I think your getting what I mean happy. Let me explain that I was expecting a chat, or that he had to stop and talk. Just a simple G'day mate as we walked past.
It's easy for people to imagine things when it doesn't happen to them so I understand what people are saying.

I totally understand that these high profile players would get sick to death of stopping and catering for every fan but I wasn't wanting a chat just maybe a smirk like he knew what a WestsTigers shirt looked like, maybe it's just me.

You know how many times I've walked past Mick Fanning Surf Shop and he actually says " Good morning how you going "? Even Stephanie Gilmore has said hello to my kids when she's walked past my kids at the surf.

Anyway I get that this Thread is a dumb arse one

I remember you telling us that last year, and I agree a simple acknowledgement goes a long way, in my case someone who's Captained us to a Premiership would of been nice.
 
Well dumb thread or not, I get what you are saying FT.

Maybe Princey was having a bad day, feeling 'over it' for some reason. Maybe he is gun-shy from being stopped and asked questions when he doesn't want to, or have time.

But how hard would it have been for a simple nod as you passed? From the Captain of our only ever premiership winning team it would not have been hard to do, surely.

Went to Robina town centre today and who walks past me Scott Prince? Had my Tigers polo shirt and he sees it from 5 metres before we walk past each other, no reaction from him whatsoever, not even a G'day mate.
So I keep walking past him like pff who are you.

Maybe it's just me but he Captained our side to a Premiership and walked past me with no reaction just left me scratching my head. Should I expected a reaction like a G'day mate?
I was going to ask him for a photo but from a distance it seemed like he didn't know what team shirt I was wearing

Your story reminds me of a time when I was In Manchester in 1999 and David Beckham walked past me while I was wearing a Manchester United shirt and like you Foreveratiger I was expecting him to stop and talk to me and ask me for an autograph(Hey I could hardly say no David seems nice) and guess what absolutely nothing he just kept walking.

I thought to myself you rude piece of crap,who do you think you are you may of kicked all those wonder goals in all those big european games for united but this morning I got dressed all by myself with no help and I put my Man U shirt on like a big boy and you cant even acknowledge me.I mean really David you are nothing but a loser.One of the biggest wankers Ive ever met.

You chose your forum handle very well Jerry. Much like Seinfeld you're about as funny as a fart in a spacesuit.

Says the man with Jim Carrey as an avatar.Dont remember the last time he made someone over 7 years old laugh.

Unlike your comedic styling, at least Carrey can make a child laugh.

My son's Year 6 class , they have done some amazing pictures

Young fella did a copy of Leonid Afremov's Bridge over Happiness

Very astonished at his efforts , he has some of his great Grandad's skills

Certainly jumped a certain generation :laughing:
 
Now if the polo you were wearing was of the "Premiers 2005" vintage he probably would have bought you a coffee. I'm guessing it was a recent club polo - of which Prince couldn't care less (and didn't)
