I watched a german game on sunday. Frieburg v E. Frankfurt. The home fans were doing there usually chanting and then they conceded a comical own goal, they just carried on as nothing had happened. You would expect a little reaction on what is actually happening on the pitch. But nothing, just kept on chanting the same shite.

ballinio said:you think its clever to make cheap jibes at your own supporters ? Theres people on here who waste no opportunity to have a snide dig at our fans, atmosphere, singing, prices etc etc any excuse. Personally I think city should put their prices up more next season that`ll see off a few from another thread,hopefully for good, & a few off here as well.Pricing out is the way to get rid of these 5th columnists,hopefully they`ll be replaced by fans who appreciate the club more.Vincents Tackle said:greasedupdeafguy said:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya-brJrPab4[/youtube]
Well which set of fans look like there supporting their side?
Jeez! I know we played bad against Dortmund but our lot look they are at a funeral not a football match.
gotta be a wind up. Most people who go to games know the prices are sky high.
Bang on , theres noise and then theres atmosphere,its all about them, the actual game is incidental & not that important. Shite is rightsummerseat blue said:I watched a german game on sunday.

greasedupdeafguy said:rubbish utter rubbishRodney said:The constant singing and movements are well choreographed and a spectacle for their own sake if you like that sort of thing (if you do then the last night of the proms may be your thing). Constant singing is just that, it is not supporting your team (it is probably more about "look at us") and in my view it is like the soundtrack of the playground- childlike and childish.
Which bits of the game did they actually get excited about? At which point did they intensify their encouragement for the team? When did they do anything other than sing their (quite frankly silly) songs? If you think that players respond to this then best we hire a male voice choir to sit in the south stand.

With respect speaking as someone who has been to hundreds of games in Germany that's bollocks. Of course the vast majority of fans react to what is going on on the pitch.

I must admit I prefer the atmospheres generated in Italian or Spanish system which does seem directly in response to what is happening on the pitch and includes the full emotions of human behaviour dependent upon the performance
The first time I went to a German game I was awe struck by the organisation and layout but then, having visited a few other stadiums, it all felt pretty much the same. Hamburg, Frankfurt, Schalke the grounds were very similar although Bremen was more like returning to a traditional English ground.
Incidentally although German fans are rightly lauded for the noise they make, the grounds I visited there was one singing end and the rest of the ground was deathly silence similar to english grounds

Personally, I don't give a bollocks about the atmosphere as long as we win.
I go to watch City, not some fucking jesters doing a sequence from Glee....

You might aswell save your money and stay at home then Levets.
The key difference between watching on the Tv and going to the stadium is Atmosphere.... something you don't give a bollocks about.

Don't talk daft Ste...
I've followed City since 1972...done things you wouldn't dream of, seen things you'll never see.
The atmosphere is generated by whats happening on the pitch... not some fat ego tripping capo with a fucking megaphone...
My enjoyment nowadays is seeing City win... Christ, I've seen enough shite.
Our atmosphere is not as bad as some of the 'jesters' on here would have you believe.
