Match Atmosphere

[Disco]

Half the lads whinging would’ve been rucking on at the match back in the day. Nostalgia simply omits the bits that would’ve been shite.
 

I was above the standing bit and even when there was singing and bouncing it just didn’t travel well IMO so nowt ever seemed to get going massively. 
 

On the plus side bar a couple of pissed kids in the square there was no bother or bad crack to report. The BVB fans in the crowd seemed to appreciate the crack and how many had travelled over to their fairly average city.

 

Mad seeing loads of German charvas in the station this morning doing laughing gas as I waited for my train to the airport this morning mind.

‘People being drunk’ may be the worst excuse for a shit atmosphere I’ve heard yet.

 

There are a lot of social ills caused by public drunkenness, but one positive is that it tends to make for lairy and loud away ends.

 

Every time the camera panned to the away end it seemed to be full of half-and-half scarfers and passivity.   They didn’t look pissed-up to me. 
 

Someone else mentioned Feyenoord in 2002 above - I was there, and me and the lads I was with started pretty early that morning in Amsterdam and were well served by the time we got to Rotterdam for the match - and so was most of the away end.  I don’t remember that being a ‘half and half scarf’ experience - that away end was crackers (in a good way).  Singing AYE AYE LIPPI LIPPI AYE

I can't properly explain how much I agree with this. I'm 41, I've just spent 3 days on the lash. Tuesday morning I was hungover to shit, but by kickoff I was in full voice again.

 

The idea that people are too hungover and can't sing is utter bollocks

 

If anything I drink at the football in order to lose control and be louder

 good lad - as a fellow 41-year-old I’m impressed that you’ve still got the stamina mate

There’s probably a right level of drunkenness which helps before you turn into a useless mess tbf. I can think of a few times in the past where I’ve been in such a state I’d have been no use to helping create an atmosphere. Brugge was one. Derby under Big Sam and Forest for a late kick off under Hughton. Other occasions I’ve been pissed and had a great time like Leeds when Shelvey scored. Probably just hadn’t gone over the useless mess level. Ha. I’ve no idea the impact coke would have in all honesty.

 

There was me talking about over analysis before. ?

I'm glad you had a good time mate, but from the area I was in, it was clear that people were so far gone they didn't stand a chance of being able to create an atmosphere. Literal zombies.

On a more positive note, this was fucking amazing from Keith Barrett, what a legend! (Would love to see the full version if someone can find it)

Might need to do stuff like that more often to get more classics out. Some brilliant songs never get touched.

 

[Whitley mag]

Particularly love the fuck off Jurgen Klopp and Howay Howay Howay parts.

[frankpingel]

The Keegan, Jinky Smith ect references my particular highlight.

[pedro111]

That song is brilliant. What's the start bit that was missed out?

dj played it in dortmund market square.

just think it should be better known. 

just got a class sing along quality to it.

should be on the list with local hero, coming home newcastle, and primal scream as a match day fixture.

I'd be happy with just 'howay howay howay' with everyone bouncing at this point, would be a canny sight.

Oh God no, not another version of that tune.

 

It's so unoriginal, no matter what the words - and I say this whilst our support sings our version of this dirge every 30 fucking seconds.

Keith Barret's back? Since when?

Since Ashley pissed off. Seen him at a couple of matches last season, including Southampton away in the LC Semi Final.

[Scoreboard82]

Turned up in his lorry delivering some stuff into my work a couple of year back. Was telling me he was watching South Shields a lot. Heard he hails from there.

[Whitley mag]

Great to have fans like Keith back, he’ll be in the same position as many of us who ditched it and lost season tickets/points. Obviously knows a lot more folk to call in favours with tickets, wouldn’t begrudge him though helped many out over the years and great bloke.
