Casino Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Nothing is as embarrassing as a group of wannabe 'Ultras' going through pre-choreographed routines. It's up there with fat blokes with flags running up and down the touchline and music after goals. whether you like or not, whether its embarrassing or not, theyre having a fcuking good time doing it isnt that supposed to be the point? and i know you're not the first, and wont be the last, to have that opinion Quote
gonzo Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Adrian Durham just held an explosive interview with Greg Dyke about this 'B-league' bull shit. Got it bang on has Durham this time. Fucking ridiculous idea Quote
COYW Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 whether you like or not, whether its embarrassing or not, theyre having a fcuking good time doing it isnt that supposed to be the point? The point is to support the team not show off your latest dance routines for the cameras. Quote
EyesRight Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 The point is to support the team not show off your latest dance routines for the cameras. They've been doing it for years now palace. Don't think it's just a show, they fucking love it. Quote
frank_spencer Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 The point is to support the team not show off your latest dance routines for the cameras. If they show support for their team by doing ridiculous dance routines and have a laugh doing it then fair fucks to em. No chance of any atmosphere at the Macaroni if it's full of Buzz Killington's like you. How do you think the fantastic atmospheres around the world are generated? Quote
Rembrandt Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Best atmospheres have usually been at stadiums where the different stands of home fans respond to each other. No dance routines in sight, ridiculous or otherwise. Quote
tomski Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Send the B teams to Scotland. I think all parties would be happy. Quote

bgoefc Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Adrian Durham just held an explosive interview with Greg Dyke about this 'B-league' bull shit. Got it bang on has Durham this time. Fucking ridiculous idea Agree with you and can't believe it Durham for once. The reason we don't do well in international comps is nowt to do with the number of English players playing in the premier league. The ones who do represent us do not have the technical skills of their foreign counterparts and this is due to crap coaching. They simply are not comfortable on the ball unless playing in a side they are used to, whereas foreign players slip into their national sides just like putting on a different glove. You simply have to look at the number of grade A coaches in Spain, compared to the UK and the cost of taking the course in respective countries £425 in Spain and £3500 in the UK. Now this is the area Dyke should be concentrating on. One other idea put forward by a lower league manager I heard today is that the Premier should pay for every club in the football league to have the latest up to date pitch so that all the leagues have the bowling green pitches enjoyed by all levels of football on the continent, it would not cost that much really in the context of things. To me this would improve the quality in the lower leagues no end. Edited May 8, 2014 by bgoefc Quote

They generate as much atmosphere as our band did for me, genuine atmosphere is spontaneous not a bunch of pop idol wannabes prancing around. Quote
Marc505 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Sorry I missed Durham for once, what was Dyke's reaction? What sort of fucking clown shoe comes up with an idea like this Quote
bgoefc Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) They generate as much atmosphere as our band did for me, genuine atmosphere is spontaneous not a bunch of pop idol wannabes prancing around. The band made noises from instruments, palace fans noise came from their voices, and in addition their flags etc and their sheer persistence regardless of the score make it completely different.

bgoefc Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Sorry I missed Durham for once, what was Dyke's reaction? What sort of fucking clown shoe comes up with an idea like this Dyke could not answer the simple questions Durham posed. He just kept on saying it worked on the continent ignoring the fact everyone but Spain is about to copy the UK model of loan systems. To be honest he should be out within a week after this. Quote
Marc505 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I had high hopes for Dyke as well when he first came in and talked about his vision for the future, and fair enough some of his other proposals do seem to be quite positive. But this League 3 shite is the think that will be hung round his neck for the rest of his tenure now. Our league pyramid is something to be cherished not meddled with Quote
EyesRight Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 They should just number the leagues as well IMO, then when it gets further down to conference it'd be 6 north and 6 south, for example. Takes me fucking ages to work out where teams actually are in the pyramid with the shite names of leagues. The championship pisses me off, how can winning the championship mean you are 21st, it's shite. Quote
frank_spencer Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 The championship pisses me off, how can winning the championship mean you are 21st, it's shite. You are Champions of the football league. which is a seperate entity to the premier league Quote

Spider Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 The best atomspheres are usually led by some not right with a megaphone or drum hanging off the cage at the front of the stand The atmosphere at our ground is fucking pig shit Ask a footballer whether he'd rather play in a ground full of fans making a din supporting the team, or a ground full of bitter fuckbuttons moaning at everything before their eyes, and I think you know the answer.

The atmosphere reflects what's going on on the pitch get that right and the Macron/Reebok will be fine of that I've no doubt. Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Fair few empty seats at Brighton suprised about that. Quote

Spider Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Is the answer 'who pays the most money?' Facetious bollocks aside Most supporters claim they'll be there no matter what goes on on the pitch So why not be fucking positive? Miserable cunts Quote
SalfordOriginal Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 There must have been a few embarrassed fans from this thread when we were in Europe then as my hazy memories about it was dancing and singing around a number of pubs in various countries...... And there wasn't even football being played most of the nights !! Quote
