But they make it public and blame refs etc. Atleast give the other team some credit when they beat u.
Aww right so it's OK to sing we are number 1 for a few years even though your not. That's cool I guess every team should do it then haha.

I always find the idea of Farmer 'not having balls' and 'being chicken', etc... odd. I find more often than not he's willing to fight people, but that when he does fight he's just useless and gets hammered. He's also happy to throw hits, play niggly, sometimes dirty and if anything has a problem with temper and can be cajoled into taking silly penalties at inopportune moments (that cross-check to rutherford anyone?). However not having balls isn't an attribute I'd accuse him of. We shared a table with Falmer and a few others while eating at Birmingham airport while flying out to Zurich last year (due to lack of space with the place being pretty full) and I asked him straight why the lack of agitating and getting under players skins and he was quite honest. He said that he was under CN's STRICT instructions not to and to just concentrate 100% on his game or be benched. Farmer has definately developed as a player now but I think that he is one of the best agitators in the league and if he could do that without losing the plot with his game side he would be very effective. Perhaps the ability to do that will come with age. It was very noticeable how quiet farmer was last season. I find it bizarre that Neilson stopped him from doing it as it’s part of his game and coincidentally thought it was farmers worst season since he joined the panthers

The problem is he is VERY easy to wind up and put out of the game too.

I find steelers fans are stuck up and wear tinted glasses. When they lose its everyone's fault but there own. What bugs me also is there music when they score. Why do they keep singing we are number 1 say we are number 1 when they haven't been for 2 years now?? It's from an album they released in the late 90's: www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/big-mouth-featuring-sheffield-307313459The album also includes this "classic":

We put more money into begging buckets than we did through the gate, the gratitude we got was SFA. I recall the play off game in that dreadful season when we won 5-0 and the then DJ playing 'money money money' repeatedly with all the fans around me waving £20 notes at the Steelers fans....good times

I remember my first ever trip to Sheffield in about 2001 and end of 1st it was 1-1 in an even game. Went to the loo and in the queue I said to a Steelers fan “good game mate”,he looked at me said “xxxx off your lot are shxx” and walked off. These are nice fans I thought ! Lol 😳

I started watching Panthers around 11 years ago. I've never cared for the Sheffield rivalry. Nothing of any note has happened in that time. They are just another team. I feel a rivalry against Coventry ("Team Hollywood") and Cardiff (consistently the most entertaining games over the years).
The one time I've been to Sheffield to watch a game I remember some of the skaters in the first interval falling over and the Sheffield fans sat there laughing and booing at them. A horrible atmosphere, especially considering they were kids skating.

The rivalry is with the respective fan bases,I dislike them more than any other set of fans when they are all together. Weird as some I have met on a personal level seem very decent!

I don’t even see it as a Panthers V Sheffield rivalry any more, if they beat us I’m just annoyed we lost a game. It doesn’t annoy me any more if it’s at the hands of Sheffield. There’s no rivalry any more.
I do still have a very definite dislike for Sheffield but that’s for reasons totally unconnected to Panthers.
Simms trying his hardest to keep this sport in the 90s with his backward ways. Also Sheffield are in their 3rd or 4th guise now? All of that history and those trophies they won count for nothing if they couldn’t pay the bills that bought them, that’s why I always smile when somebody from their support mentions their trophy count. Two point Tony. Thommo’s next excuse. I could go on.
I dislike Sheffield but I don’t think we dislike them any more than most other clubs in the league, the reasons above affected everybody. Not just us.
Sheffield like being disliked too, they play on it. Siege mentality and all that.

I think there are so many games between the 2 teams each season that there really isn’t any rivalry anymore - I much prefer a game against Belfast tbh.

I agree games against Belfast and Cardiff are better but, for me, the rivalry between our fans and Sheffield’s is what makes it for me. I really can’t stand them.

There doesn’t seem to be hardly any rivalry on the ice these days,it’s all in the club offices to drum up ticket sales or mainly between the two sets of fans Strange really as Sheffield people are nice,but something happens to them when they pull on that awful orange shirt !

As others have said on here, and in an interview with Moran a few years ago, he rightly points out that Sheffield (though he refers to "some clubs") have overstretched financially throughout their history, gone bust and been rescued by a series of owners. The rivalry on the ice has definitely decline though, Gagnon and Fitzgerald had some decent tilts last year, but other than that it's just marketing hype by Simms and GM.
I still love beating them, but tbh a lot of rivalries are dying out. Brian Stewart retiring signals another nail in the coffin of the "rivalry era" as it were.

On an additional note, it's laughable when Moran and Simms call it the "biggest rivalry in Europe" Scene from the Tatze Derby (SC Bern v SCL Tigers) and that's one of the least intense for Bern!
