Anti UEFA demonstration at Madrid game - whistles ?

I think everyone's getting a little bit too concerned about the whistles. It's just going to add to the atmosphere. We're not talking about one person peeping his whistle as Aguero's through on goal... we're talking hundreds being used consistently whilst Madrid have possession. The only reason it would affect the players is if it's one whistle being used intermittently. If everyone uses them throughout I don't see the issue. If there are hundreds of whistles, as well as thousands whistling without a whistle, booing and jeering, we could really get under their skin. Cheering whenever they lose possession. It dragged us over the line vs Liverpool last year which won us the league (and I can confirm there were whistles being used on the South Stand throughout that game).

It's one of the best techniques to unsettle an opposition team. Remember Timo Werner had to be subbed off in the first half v Besiktas? (https://www.rt.com/sport/404776-werner-noise-substitute-turkey-besiktas-leipzig/)

We don't realise the impact we could have. We know how much the boys need our support, they're desperate to win the thing this year. Let's give them every advantage we possibly can.

Indeed. Also I don’t think that people realise that people have been taking whistles into games at the Etihad and blowing them when we’ve whistled and boo’d Liverpool and Spurs over the last few years anyway. This Madrid game isn’t a one-off or the first time!

Besides, by the time this is played, it’s likely it’ll be behind closed doors because of COVID-19 anyway!

mind you,it will be a lot louder this game due to it being sold out ,unlike the 3 group games where it was half empty in 318 cos most couldn't be arsed

See your point , Barca have over 40k empty seats for some of their group games , no one has brought the headlines of their empty seats to my attention , funny old world
 
pity we ain't got a giant flag to unfurl of David Gill handing over a brown envelope stuffed with euros to Platini.
 
Blowing whistles is a very, very bad idea. Some clowns will blow them at inappropriate times and keep stopping play. We don’t want to give UEFA any opportunity to give the game to Madrid or force the game to be played behind closed doors. You know they are just waiting to try and stitch us up good and proper.
