Indeed. At our best in England, we’ve got better atmospheres than any of the Euro pop shit.I've heard that kind of thing from a few German journalists. That there "appears" to be a great atmosphere at a lot of Bundesliga games as the crowds are noisy throughout, but it's not based on what's happening in the game. They said that they preferred the PL, even though crowds were often quiet, because the quiet would be tension, and the noise excitement, joy, frustration at events.
It's not support though is it. Support in the stadium involves interacting with what's happening on the pitch, even if that's moans and groans if the team aren't playing well. It involves upping the noise when (like we did last night) the team starts getting back into the game.Let’s be honest, it is support. Just not what most of us english like.
It’s like going to a gig and getting a footy out and playing football, not facing the stage, ignoring the music being played by the band.It's not support though is it.

Dortmund's "support" was being coordinated by three blokes who weren't even watching the game. If the Dortmund team had been wandering around with their hands in their pockets or scoring a goal every 5 minutes, they'd have still been going through the same routine.
Of course it is.It's not support though is it. Support in the stadium, involves interacting with what's happening on the pitch, even if that's moans and groans if the team aren't playing well. It involves upping the noise when (like we did last night) the team starts getting back into the game.

I only watched the game on tele so can’t judge the atmosphere really.
I think we are very confident at the moment so we don’t feel the need to support the team quite as much? That showed when we went a goal down and our support became louder.
Like the hare krishna used to do on market street only louder. There was no reaction to what was going occurring on the pitch.
It's a shame the Green Brigade is so filled with sectarian hatred.Of course it is.
Let’s take the Green Brigade at Celtic park for example, they do all of the above.
It is renowned as one of the best atmosphere’s in football - even players like Messi, Eto, Ibrahimovic, Pique have all said this.
Not once have Celtic made a statement to the Green Brigade saying “stop pissing about with the drum, stop jumping up & down and making constant noise - support the team correctly - sit on your hands until we attack or something exciting happens like proper support”
Again, we don’t like it but most clubs around europe and the world do.
I don’t think we are in a position to point at other clubs support and tell them what a good atmosphere/support is as we have a large singing section which needs a kick up the arse (as per previous other posts)
Agreed. Both teams from that city have fabulous support but unfortunately they bring all that shite along with themIt's a shame the Green Brigade is so filled with sectarian hatred.
