Shows the danger of mispunctuation. Should actually have read "Keep woke foreign ideologies. Out defend Europe." It was celebrating wokeism while also offering encouragement to their back four 

Works on contingency?

No, money down!

Weird banner tbh.

 

I take it Celtic are regularly charged for some of the banners and flags?

Yep, no-one cares.

Rangers. Not even sure what this means.

 

Woke foreign ideologies = bad, but we must defend Europe?

 

if you can't work out what it means you might be retarded

Very different to UFS

Think Section 82 at Bristol have the best active support section in England at the moment. Unreserved safe standing and a promotion push giving them absolutely ideal circumstances.

Two Crystal Palace players have each chucked in £500 to the HF display at Wembley.

I feel for them but i can't help but laugh at the stupidity of it all, as the rest of world embrace football culture we're trying to destroy any remanence of it.

 

England is so bizarre.

West Ham is really one of the last clubs I expected a half decent tifo group to set up at. All printed which is a shame but the actual design is solid. They reached out to UFS for tips a while back iirc

First episode was enjoyable.

 

Pretty sure that there was talk of a similar film down here a few years back. UFS were approached but said no thanks. Can't imagine any of the groups that were active at that time would have said yes either.

Scottish though, so close enough.  Incredible the change in a decade north of the border.  Never thought it would catch on in the UK...i wonder why the mentality is so different, being so close you'd think it would be similiar.

 

Had to laugh at the one bloke they managed to find that actually got caught with pyro... and in the end they dropped the case...LOL...now that's scotland.

I watched Patrick v St Johnstone last night,  Only 6,000 there but created a great atmosphere..  Both sets of ultra groups going for it all game.

 

I read the St Johnstone ultras actually help pay for rail seating (proper rail seating not the english bodge job), and also sponser the womens team.  It seems the ultras are really embedded in their clubs.

 

FCU (away fans) had a huge flag waving all game, all I kept thinking is what would our flask army think of having their view blocked.

Clubs up there need the support. Far better to get them heavily involved and take the youngsters away from the Old Firm.

True.  But it's interesting how the rest of the fan base are so much more supportive.  Imagine the reaction of our fans if there was a load of lads letting off pyro and waving huge flags at away games every week.

 

I guess they've never had the gentrification of the culture that we've had to endure. 

 

It's great though, you don't need to travel to italy you can go to patrick instead.
