I am reasonably sure that the champions league music didn't start until the players were lined up on the pitch ready to shake hands, by which time the horn would've finished. 

It starts as they walk out doesn't it? And then plays for ages.

 

God knows, even if it doesn't that's some pretty rapid hornage going on if your whacking the post hor gallop out in the time is takes for a player to walk 15 yards. 

 

We know why it wasn't played, they start every game the same, they have the same logo in the center circle before every game, christ they even make everyone cut the pitch the same. It's their competition, I can live with it. 

 

Dictating we can't sell beer in our own ground, well, I am outraged, and sober, not good.

SAME AS THE FINAL , NOT THE PRINIPALITY, ITS THE NATIONAL STADIUM OF WALES TO HOSE THE FINAL

Did anyone notice the complete lack of Filbert or the Birch? No child racing at half time either. These Uefa bellends need to learn how to put a show on, I bet they've never even thought of getting people to chip a football into a roofless shed at half time, utter shambles.

This needs to be sorted asap.  Yes i missed the birch welcoming the visiting supporters esp.  But why no filbert?

Also the away team shook hands with our lads rather than the other way round! !!!

Filbert wasn't allowed to advertise King Power and officials thought it was indecent for him to go shirtless.

[narboroughblue]

Did UEFA dictate that the grass had to be long enough for the Porto players to keep tripping over it too?!?

 

In all seriousness it's a bit pathetic the rules we have to follow but if it means we get Champions League football then so be it.

I would like to see Vicky Vixen shirtless.

[st albans fox]

Overlooked until about 7-35 was the King power logo on the stairs in the directors box

 

a mate sent me this photo - all the big nobs walking in whilst it was being done and Susan Whelan not looking too impressed. Rudkin was happy to see that he isn't the doziest member of staff !

 

apparently they were covering them up with blue boarding and gaffer tape throughout the first half!!

 

 

[CosbehFox]

Remember back in the Kelly era didnt we have that odd situation where the fella who blew the TPHG was sacked but continued turning up and blowing his horn at kick-off?

 

Just do that again, job done. Take the UEFA fine.

So are Etihad/Emirates affiliated with UEFA? I've never noticed their branding changed from Man City/Arsenal matches.

they get renamed to City of Manchester Stadium and Arsenal Stadium respectively for the UEFA matches

Did anyone notice any tourists that just 'went for the experience'?

Bit late but yes, there were plenty near me. Kept standing up to take selfies, one even borrowed someone elses toddler in her city kit to have a photo with. Constantly getting up and down, blocking the view. Really annoying but to be expected I suppose.

All over the place. You can usually spot them because they are generally clueless about accepted football etiquette. They turn up 5 minutes into the second half, dont wait for the ball to go out of play before getting everybody to stand up and block views just as the ball gets pinged across the 6 yard box. Wankers!

One couple walked in just as we took our first corner.At no point did they look at the game until they'd took their seat near me at the top!!!

Is there such a thing as football etiquette?

 

I have never seen anybody wait for the ball to go out of play before moving

Even the Walkers advertising had to be LAYS

No, it was a Lays sponsor as they sponsor the tournament, Walkers don't sponsor it. Same company as such but ran separately rather like Vauxhall, Opel.

EUFA MAFIA

[Illusion35]

I did keep looking up at the big screen to check the clock when I started getting nervous from about 80 minutes on! 

[Thracian]

Nothing's sacred anymore - it's all buyable. As for the beer, more nannyism. It's like a rampant disease these days.  Not that I'd have drunk it anyway. Far better choice at the Soar Point. 

[fuchsntf]

Dont worry..we have planned a demonstration...

 

We qualify out of the group....Throw the next game against Barca,

 

Telling EUFA we dont like be held to Ransom,

you can tape up  what you like, ban and cover up boardings with our genuine sponsors of our club..!!

 

BUT..!!!  Forcing us into a no/ new or different beer policy.....enough to turn  one to drink..ffs.

 

we should invest in large flag like the tifos,  then unvail  them with...Banks, Shipstones, Everards,

local micro breweries. Then Melton and walkers pork pies, and the biggest for pukka balti pies..!!

 

Then a warning banner saying  UEFA advertising is not good for your health.

2nd hand advertising, contains toxic untruths, confusing young children and Adults.....

It's Walkers behind them on the pre/post-match press conferences.

Lay's on the post-match interviews though

 

[promised land]

So they even have two boards to stand infront of for pre and post match interviews, mega business is the champions league.

What happens if the Welsh team Airbus UK make to the champions league. Are they just 'UK'.

 

There's your solution then. Change the name of the team to King Power City.

 

Sorted!

[easilee]

The Don could do both jobs piece o' piss.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Pepsi own Lays and Walkers, which is why their packaging is almost identical. Essentially it's like we used to have Marathon and it was known as Snickers everywhere else.

[easilee]

Yeah haha. Pepsi also own the agency where most employees who work at walkers come from. Á la Carte I think.

We've had vastly different experiences over the last 30 years then. Most people, if they are coming back to their seat, at least in my experience, will just wait for the right moment. Am a living in a bubble..........albeit, quite a pleasant one?
