NewBlue Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Is it just me or does "we'd really like to encourage this every week" seem laced with menace? I always thought that players clapping away fans had been the norm since the beginning of time anyway... When did it stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I always thought that players clapping away fans had been the norm since the beginning of time anyway... When did it stop? There is a difference between the obligatory clapping and what was witnessed at Bury. The players were clearly amazed at the atmosphere created, which they hadn't seen elsewhere this season. Perhaps they'll say to the supporters create an atmosphere like that all the time and we'll deliver, but of course that's not possible.

Lee Sinnott Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 On Saturday night, I thought we were going to win the League and not concede another goal all season. On reflection, we've only come up against one decent side and they absolutely drilled us. Didn't see the Northampton game, but Walsall and Bury offered next to nothing and I could have probably got four posters from this messageboard to play at the back and still keep a clean sheet against them. It's still going to be a big struggle, and there are some defeats (possibly heavy ones) to come along the way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they win more matches then we'll take more fans to away games and produce better atmospheres. That being said, given every player was new at Millwall with one exception, there hadn't really been a chance to form any sort of bond. Hopefully it had a galvanising effect at the weekend.

That's quite an avant face in the space of a day and a half,optimism seems very fragile on this board and as can be seen on another thread some people are going to take a lot of convincing. It has to be admitted that false dawns are a regular occurrence at latics so we are becoming more and more cynical (if that is actually possible), but I have a good feeling about this management team and whilst not expecting any trees to be pulled up anytime soon,I am confident of more stability in the months to come.

HarryBosch Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Shez was a pre-Dawn. Exactly - we were stuck in what seemed like was going to be eternal darkness and he guided us back to the morning light. Then Corney's alarm didn't go off causing us to oversleep...

AlanGrovesFanClub Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm surprised nobody mentioned what a great header it was for the own goal. Reminded me of Kenny Clements, who I'm sure must have scored more against us that for us. I know that he was a good player in many ways, but I was always terrified when he touched the ball around our box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngen Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Is it just me who sees the Icelandic clap as sadly inevitable? They've already taken the Rosenborg sha la la and the Will Griggs on fire songs. Remind me when Erwin scored again to be on fire? Its really irritating stealing other songs, but even worse when they are irrelevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf there are some songs which you can manipulate for your own use but it's more that we haven't had an original song from them for so long, if ever...

yarddog73 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 I see City have a new song for Guardiola, it's a take on Palaces 'Glad all over' which sounds pretty cool, I don't suspect their fans are bitching about their own fans getting behind their team regardless of it being a recycled chant that's associated with another team, alternatively if you don't like it step up and get something going more to your taste.

That's a massive stretch, considering the song Palace sing is in its original form, and City's is original. It's not recycled whatsoever.

yarddog73 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 So the 'Just can't get enough' is our own then because we've adopted the tune and changed a few lyrics from Celtics original version? What does it matter if the chant provides support for the team regardless of its origin. I bet a few of the new players were impressed by the level of continuous support they received on Saturday and probably don't give a hoot where the chant originated from.
