rossf 0 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 As fans we are supposed to back our players and manager during the game. this is generaly done by singing. howver some of the loudest chants at ibrox nowadays are negative ones directed at either SDM, WS Charlie Adam Lee Mculluch etc please can we at least back our team while they are playing, iv heard rumours that teams play better when their supporters act like a 12 man! save any anger for after the game has finished please, especialy anger that is directed to our players. it can hardly be motivating when you hear your own fans shout obscenities at you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Poorest atmosphere from us at OF game for a while - while the team have some responsibility for this we also have a responsibility we are shirking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonics7 1 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 this is a cracking post ! but some of the idiots that sit & shout their frustration at games, probably cannot read mate. you'll not reach them on this site haha. I'd love to hear coherant chants at ibrox stadium, but it's either quiet or when a chant goes up, two sections of the crowd start it at different times, so it sounds like we can't sing together. /rant over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BazzaB 8 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 TBH that's the poorest Old Firm match I've seen in a long time. The quality of football was dismal, the pitch was dire and the atmosphere was disgraceful. We need to concentrate on singing songs about our own club again, instead of all this focussing on 'them' so much. Only then can we get a bit of atmosphere back. IMO!

Muff 245 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Doesn't help when we don't know what songs we are allowed to sing - supporters seem scared at times to open their mouths. Fcuk it, sing them all, loud and proud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard chants directed at any of our players. Sure there are moans or shouts of exasperation when a simple pass goes astray or a player presents the ball to an opponent but never negative chanting! It is hard to try to keep the team going by singing when so many players just do not seem bothered or want to get involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macleod1873 0 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I agree i hate it when the fans get on players backs during games, what to they think it will do ? For the first time in my life on sat i got up and started ranting at a rangers player and it was Broadfoot at the goal. Was so angry at his level of defending. A bit annoyed at myself but i guess it was heat of the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastcoastbear 122 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Just posted the following in the better atmosphere poll/thread. Sort of ties in a bit............ I hear what you're saying Jim but I have a suggestion............ Could the Club be approached with a view, come ST renewal time, to state that the Copland for example is going to be the designated singing stand. All renewals of existing STs in the Copland would be on that understanding. Those not wanting to be remain there could be relocated. The EE, CDL and TBO can remain where they are if they so wish. I'm pretty sure there are enough ST holders in other parts of the ground who want to sing, when added to the existing Copland STs that want to sing, for that stand to be full of singing minded fans. If the Club was approached and refused to accomodate such a request, then it really would confirm just how much our support is valued as opposed to our money. Just a thought.
