shelts Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I thought the atmosphere was one of nerves and tension and an inevitability about what was going to happen .

RedNight Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I didn't think it was particularly good to be honest? Picked up when we scored...

Yep the superb, original songs from the repertoires of fans of teams such as Man Utd and Liverpool don’t often rely on terms like that....they are just witty, clever, passionate and mostly original.....

Thing that gets me is that Liverpool have absolutely reams of songs, if you've never heard "Poor Scouser Tommy" before, I'd advise you to google it, best song in football imo.

The thing is, I don't have anything against the word per se. I realise many people view it as one of the worst swear words, and it makes the fans that need to add it on every time sound like a bunch of 12 year olds who found out people dont like the word, so use it as much as possible to be rebels. As a general rule I have nothing against swearing in the songs at football (but can understand parents may), but swearing for the sake of swearing just seems a bit, well... sh*t.

Yep I know the song Poor Scouser Tommy....I was working in London on a Tuesday many years ago, Fulham were playing Liverpool that night, I went for a beer with colleagues after work, there were Scousers everywhere in the pubs, just singing their songs - superb atmosphere and no offensive language....I’m no fan of Liverpool but their genuine fans certainly have some brilliant chants up their sleeves....

I agree again James, I’ve got nothing against swearing at football, it’s a hugely popular sport with its roots in working class culture. Letting off steam with industrial language is very much a part of the matchday experience. But I don’t get the premeditated and organised use of swear words, it can just sound like youngsters excited that they can swear in public and get away with it....

Screenshot of the BBC live text at 41 mins the headline reads, “Superb atmosphere at Ashton Gate.” It keeps failing to upload though so you’ll just have to take my word for it! Understandably it went a bit flat when we were 4-1 down on aggregate. Any ground would’ve been the same. When Liverpool looked dead and buried against Dorrmund in ‘16 or whenever that was it went very quiet for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I couldn’t make the game last night and so watched it on TV. Just before kick off I popped outside for a fag and could clearly hear the chant of “Come on you reds” I live just over 4 miles away! Very impressive amount of noise!

Onthefence Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Pre match and for small periods the atmosphere was electric where i was sat. Unfortunately when it mattered most last few minutes before half time and first 10 minutes after it was dead. Poor old Mags will long lament that horrific error that led to the first goal, that's what killed the atmosphere. Nobody really believed we could score 2 goals in the second half without reply. Shame really - at 0-0 at half time I think the gate would have brought the house down when the players came out for the seconf half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCFC Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 15 hours ago, jaydee=inspiration said: Man City probably the best side at killing atmospheres for home sides. First half was quite flat due to not really having anything to get the crowd going. Nervousness killed us which is understandable. Second half a lot better though. MCFC, It’ll be interesting to get your perspective on the above on what your possession and pressing football does to opposing fans home atmospheres? Hadn't really thought about it like that before jaydee. You may have a point there, must be hard to keep in full voice backing the team when they are hardly getting a kick.
