Make sure your sandwich isn't over the specified size.

Its incredible really. The UB have been involved in behaviour that would get them banned in England yet they seem to be able to do whatever they want including moving to the new area. But this is indicative of Scottish clubs in general who realise there is a movement happening and rather than build barriers they are accepting the change and in most cases embracing it, pretty much the total opposite to England.

Why is singing forced? Do you think the games in Germany. France, Italy etc have no 'real' atmosphere?

Why isn't it?

Well clue me in then Mick. What are you doing to improve things?

He just wants to moan. Its ok we've got 20,000 of them at every game. They never do anything and don't like anyone who actually tries. Pity them.

So the answer is to sit in silence and do nothing? By the way I went to games in them 80's and 90's...just sayin.

You're doing a great job, the atmospheres electric.

Jesus....

It is embarrassing when players/manager see empty stands at the end. I did have to chuckle to myself when I saw the Hull manger applauding the fans only to applaud a half empty stand with those left politely clapping as they walked to the concourse.....its not just us, its all over. I know you can't compare a regular league match in England to the old firm but the scenes at the celtic rangers game it looked like there wasn't a single fan that had left as the players walked round joining in with the green brigade songs. You can't stop people leaving, its always happened, you cant make fans stand and sing, the premier league sucked any life out of football culture in England. The only way is to join in with the UFS and make it grow, until then these discussions will go round and round.

Man utd really seem lost. I can't see anything changing whilst the Glaziers are there. Of course changing ownership doesn't guarantee any improvements. Maybe those 90's glory years will never come back?

What a great few days for Forest.

Yet the atmosphere was a million times better than the English derbies despite no away fans. I agree that away fans improve it, its just the whole 'no atmosphere' I was chuckling at. It was bouncing.

Looks like bottom 4 all will lose, could turn out to be a brilliant week for Forest.

No atmosphere? LOL.

Great weekend this is turning out to be.

Lovely jubbly.

I did have a giggle when Warnock said they would have never given that handball in the last minute at Ipswich. He said 'The defender could've caught the ball and threw it out'.

Were they not?

Agreed. People in the UK often talk of 'great support' in terms of numbers, in other countries its rarely about numbers but noise.

That's so sad. As genuine Leicester fans we can only apologise and hope the idiot gets punished.

True. It doesn't seem to bother most Scottish fans though they seem to be in it for different reasons. They probably understand that they can never win the league and just enjoy what they have. Maybe that's one of the reasons the clubs are so much better connected to their fanbase? The only downside of these great Scottish derby games is the childish tit for tat reductions of away fans for the old firm. They're still incredible occasions but its not the same without the large away allocations.

Depends on how good the team are at doing it though. I would like to see the stats if there are any on how many lead to goals scored/conceded.

Definitely, its actually getting better and better each year, but that seems to be happening a lot in Scottish football.
