Remember when Lansdowne was intimidating? +1 Where not f**king iceland , Just because Iceland do it well doesnt mean we need to copy it I remember we were doing it before Iceland. I don't see the problem, it gets another chant started. We started doing it after the Euros, agree with Charltons Child, we are not Iceland. we shouldn't be doing it it's fairly embarrassing. Incorrect. We were doing it long before the Euros and I haven't been to Lamsdowne In 18 months

Really can't remember it to be honest we probably done it without the God Awful "WHOO" after the claps

Drums, TIFOs, thunderclaps, poznans, we love you we love you, pinching generic songs, trumpets, 7 nation army, bands.  Nonsense the lot of it.

The Celtic symphony was a low. Was waiting for a few knuckleheads to give it the ohh ahh up the ra part but thankfully if fizzled out before then.

Could have been a potential UEFA fine for sectarian chanting if it had gotten to the oh ah up the ra bit.

Point is that they retrospectively fined us for have 1916 on the jerseys so there's a strong chance a harmless song would result in another punishment

The thunderclap has been going long before the euros but it is embarrassing at this stage. If we cant get a chant going better off keeping quiet. It didnt even fizzle out into a ybig yesterday bar the 1st time IIRC.

shocking atmosphere and that thunderclap is embarrassing. On the one road should be the song to get the crowd going.

Agree, i think the atmosphere is sh*te and the singing section aint doing what it says on the tin. An austrian lad in thw pub after tgat he was looking forward to the best fans in the world and was dissapointed, dont blame him either.

My views are pretty well known on the songs we ding but the re the atsmisphere what goes on the pitch is a major factor and the first half had precious little to shout about the 2 are connected

Ah I'm not sure about that. Thunderclap aside, I thought he was alright.

The big problem is the different speed sound travels at. It's very difficult to get an entire ground singing as one.

Bowl stadiums simply do not help, either. If you have separate stands, one stand (usually behind the goal) singing as one are close enough to sing as one voice. Once you have a bowl and people at the sides joining in, suddenly you have people almost 100 yards apart on either side of the pitch trying to sing in one voice: that's never going to work, frankly, because it takes about a third of a second for that sound to travel that distance and they just can't sing as one.

That makes it quite hard for the drummer to keep the beat in time. He can beat at the time he is singing at, in which case different parts of the crowd will be singing out of time from his beat, at least from the point of some people. He can't change the beat he is singing at without sounding awful to those nearby. It's not the drummer's fault, in short.
