Phone lights during match

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Glad I went to Bob Dylan at the Apollo instead. No wankers waving phones about there.

Probably most of the audience not tech savvy enough to operate the torch on their mobiles ; )

That makes me think. Can anyone explain the acronym FOC to me? It seems to be in use on this forum and this forum only. I've never quite known what it was.
I suspect, however, that you may be one. And I may be another.

I probably don’t qualify by age, but certainly do in spirit in some areas, such as this one!

My question's serious, all you lot who've smirked, taken the piss, and deflected it!
I surmise that the O stands for old. Would the first start F–U, by any chance?
And does the third also start C—U ?

That's because everybody must get stomed to watch him

It's 'Funloving Older Cityzen' apparently

Oh fuck off, all of you!

 

[Academica]

Part of the long list of why I reluctantly go to Champions League group games. A load of shite

Why don't you give it a miss and find something you do enjoy.

It looks good on TV, it's a weird choice for people to get bent out of shape over.

I swear there are people here who just want us to play on a bog of a pitch in heavy duty cotton jerseys coming out to that fucking awful "Ciiity, Manchester Ciiity" song with absolutely nothing else going on because they endured that torture when they were younger.

I was going to give you a like until you dissed The Boys in Blue

My other half uses it as an abbreviation of fucking old **** in relation to me if that helps.

Trying to do every domestic home and away game this season, next season I won't be bothering til the knock outs unless we get someone decent in the groups

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

It wasn’t torture.

Stockholm syndrome.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

As a fan base we are weird as fuck.
In one breathe we have people moaning that there is no atmosphere. In the next they are moaning that people are waving phone torches and complaining about smoke machines. Odd as fuck.

There seemed to be a lot more kids than usual around me last night. People maybe giving a ticket up so there match going pal can take a child maybe?

My young lad enjoyed the laser show, the smoke machine and the torches. Any harm done? None. Helps hook the kids in? Yes maybe.

Its all good. Stop moaning

Not very fond of this stuff particularly — I am now officially an FOC — but I know one thing: it is one hell of a lot better than having an FOC in the row behind you moaning that KDB is “shit” every time he doesn't thread a ball through four defenders. And that Mahrez is shit just for walking on to the pitch.
Which I have.

most of that crowd would be waving their emergency CareCall pendants

 

[Phil1]

Meh! We are in a different world these days. Just support the team how you want, no point getting irritated by what others are up to.

 

[deano ou812]

don’t have a problem with any of this,things move on and football has as well,it used to the old football rattles/ratchet at games,then we started bringing the inflatables to games,banana’s,dinosaurs,palm trees wasn’t there even a frankenstein as well if I remember,hell even doing the poznan,it’s the new breed of fans if they want to use the torch on their phones so be it,will be something else in a few years time ..

 

[mike1923]

Don’t think anyone knows why it’s done, everyone just joins in

Didn’t Celtic do it to show how many they had in our section of the ground?

If they remembered them in the first place hahaha
