Yep. We can do it for big games, or if the team is playing well, or if the team is in the shit and needs to be carried through. Maybe expectations have risen and people are in a strop when those expectations aren't met?

Wasn't the reason we lost but was completely clueless. Not going to go through them all but the rugby tackle on Wilson not resulting in a card was probably the highlight. Booked Joelinton for the first pullback of the game then let about 6 players from both teams get away with far more blatant ones. Baffling. Like Oliver, he had a few years where he was very food but he seems to have hit some sort of menopause-related insanity about 18 months ago and he's useless now.

That was really poor again today. Much much worse than the Forest game was. If people can't get excited about a home FA Cup 5th round tie then they should really pack it in and do something different with their spare time. Far too many happy to rock up, hold up a flag before kickoff and think they've done their job and they can then settle down for a natter with their mates. Not strictly to be filed under "atmosphere" but was appalling the amount of people that fucked off at the end and couldn't be bothered to acknowledge the players effort (yes they played shit but they had run themselves into the ground by the end.) Gallowgate lower was at least 3 quarters empty by the time they came round. Of course the beggy cunts woth their tatty cardboard signs demanding players shirts were out in force that's something else that needs to be banned imo

Man City fan Lee Dixon very effectively glossing over the push by the goalscorer there.

I didn't go on Wednesday but on the way back from Man City 2 weeks ago my gut instinct was along these lines. Honestly felt out of place and not only didn't enjoy it but felt like I didn't "belong."

all of a sudden mccoist seems palatable. Boglin hates us. Never forgave us for qualifying for the second stage of the CL in 2002/03 when Liverpool didn't so he had to commentate on us instead of them. Proper bellsniffer.

That not a penalty?

I'd add Willock to that as well. He looked fucked second half at the weekend and has started similar here.

Thought that's what the teamsheet was tonight.

Used to work with a big Dundee Utd fan who delightes in telling me they have played Barcelona 4 times in Europe (2 z 2 legges ties) and have a 100% record across those 4 games.

I know this is a rhetorical question, and I entirely agree with your wider point, but it's worth noting that the last train south avoiding rail replacement buses left at 4pm and I know of at least 2 silly sods/daft c***s that had booked on that. They'll have had to leave before the end after the injury time in 1st half. I wouldn't do it myself mind (for this exact reason!) Would have killed me to be in a position where I had to leave a game like that early.

20-ish minutes in the crowd picked up the energy and atmosphere and all of a sudden the team up the tempo and we're swarming them. I'll never buy into the idea that what the crowd is doing has no impact on what happens on the pitch. Apart from that 20-minute period in the first half it was pretty quiet. Could definitely have done with a bit more defiance and verbal encouragement towards the end.

I'm going to get pelters for saying it but the atmosphere is notably worse the more lasses are in the crowd. To clarify, I do know some lasses in the hard-core fanbase who know and sing all the songs. I'm not saying that lasses are inherently shit fans. It's maybe more the dynamic that when there's more lasses in attendance it means there's more people have come as a couple and people are less likely to be rowdy in front of their lass?

I would honestly take that at the minute as I'd rather that than long periods of silence again. Baby steps, and getting people singing anything (and not at a speed that sounds ike they're amphetamined up to their eyeballs) would be a start.
