Not knocking caps off and spraying people with drinks. I'm all for open stadiums. He's knocked his cap off and then others have sprayed them with drinks. Totally unwelcoming and unnecessarily antagonistic. Hes launched a punch at them before they've started chucking drinks at them. Childish as fuck knocking his hat off but it's fuck all in the grand scheme of things. Absolute mountain of a molehill as usual As for you're first point, Why should verbals be allowed during the game? Surely we should have open stadiums and everyone can get on?

What exactly is mountainous about calling people out for creating an unwelcoming atmosphere for visitors? I quite like our reputation for being welcoming and I don't want it ruined by dickheads.

HaydnNUFC Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Rewatched the game fully. Feels like a fever dream. Suffocated them with the press and the atmosphere, wow. If its like that for every game we will not lose a home match in the CL. Schär MOTM for me, thought he was coming out the ground but on a rewatch it confirms it. Though Bruno, Almirón, Trippier, Longstaff and Gordon were all superb. That video above with the PSG fan's hat being knocked off is fucking embarrassing. One of my favourite things about our city on a matchday is all supporters can mix everywhere as long as there's no dickheads. Love a bit friendly chat with away fans, that video of the PSG fans in the Beehive ( ) a prime example especially now in Europe. Tribalism is a huge part of what makes football the greatest sport in the world but also what makes it shite. The aggro faux or not is embarrassing. But on a semi related point, I don't want football grounds mixed like in rugby. The segregation between fans in grounds is a positive side of football tribalism and what makes atmospheres great and each team's support unique.

Even if it was a deflection, I thought the rules stated it is handball for the offensive phase. On this one the ball traveled around 25 yards and the first point of contact wad his arm?! Mind goes straight to that blatant Trent handball that led immediately to a goal for them last season when they were chasing us down for 4th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because of the positioning of the defender and the goalkeeper. xG does not account for the fact that the attacker is 6'7" and also a local boy staring at a chance to score a Champions League goal. If it knew that the xG would be 1.0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone blindsided you with a flick on the ear or knocked your sunglasses off, presumably you'd just laugh it off and not react? There's a real element of arseholeness from some of our 'fans' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make that move all the time and they weren't ready for it at all. The 4-2-4 formation he played was suicide against our press Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought that when I saw our xG was exactly 1.00. Between Burn, Almiron, Isak (before the Almiron goal) and Longstaff that just seems bizarre to me.

Their defenders aren't good with the ball and Ugarte is very bad at build up. Mbappé is also insanely lazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just feels like they are getting far too wound up about a club with no history or silverware (according to the poster quoted anyway), when according to his own logic we shouldn't be worth the time of day. Obviously that's just the one post quoted, for all I know the rest of the replies on that thread might all praise and graciousness. Although I doubt it.

There was one of their lot who appeared to throw a punch at someone either quite short or a child, couldn't really see the person being hit. But regardless, I wouldn't want to see our fans chucking missiles or being abusive to travelling fans unless it was self defence. It didn't look like it on that video, just seemed like a bunch of charvas having a go at PSG fans walking past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
