Having chatted to a couple of folk next to me, most of us weren't even in a SS tonight - we were stuck in between different sections, which is wrong.

Personally, I don't see anyone at fault, but, in future, YBIG should work in conjunction with the FAI to ensure all us like-minded folk are in the same section Thumbs Up

What a sad act, I imagine he looked like quite the tit.

A few mins later when I started waving the tifo a bunch of dudes about 6 rows behind starting shouting "lower the flags" Confused

 
think they were to my left, TBH there were probaly at least 2 flags which given where they were would probably have blocked their view of the goal mouth.
 
Personally I didnt really notice the flags interfereing (we were in row BB) but could how see if the view to goal is blocked.

If there was a flag blocking my view of the match Id say the same. No need to be waving them the whole way through the match.

Lads, common sense, if someone can't see the game of football they came to watch then they won't be happy. I had a tifo last night and I hadn't a notion of waving it during the game

tried to keep mine down as much as possible during the game as well it only gives others a reason to start complaining. Tifos were good last night although i did have a lot of pissed lads asking for a shot of mine after pushing into 115/114. simple reply no chanceAngry

Had a TIFO as well and there's no way i'd wave it during the match. There's plenty of time before the match, during breaks in play to get the crowd, after we score etc. No problem with people singing for the whole match (it should be encouraged) but waving the flags while the game is going on and blocking people's view is a bit ridiculous.

Myself and my mates volunteered for the flags last night and were involved with an incident thats already been discussed...first time takin a flag so when u get shouted at for not waving a flag during the match by the very person who is on here saying flags should not be waved during the match it makes it a little confusing....anyway lads on here saying "choreograph this"..."ss was a joke last night"!!...the same boy wasnt in the f**kin ss for most of the 2nd half!!...spouting nonsense

Im with BabbsBalls on this I think. Novelty is going to wear off. I challenge anybody to wave a Tifo flag for 90 minutes, the jaysus shoulders would be hanging off ya!

As JB said, walk before we can run. Irish people don't have the Ultras mentality, and you cannot force it upon anyone. If people want to sing, they will sing. Shouting at people and abusing people to "force" an atmosphere will turn people away and that is ruining what we have achieved since the Croker days

I was standing about 6 rows back, maybe 2 rows back from sham, and when we were attacking down the left in the second half some bright spark decides to wave a flag thus blocking our view, i let a roar to put the flag down as i could'nt see a thing, now i applaud any of the lads who take the trouble to take a flag, and up till this there hasnt been much issue with the way lads go about waving them i.e before teams come out, break in play, half time, after scoring and full time but when you get people waving them especially when we are attacking and people cant see what do you expect, bit of cop on is all that is needed lads. just to add i am  not the bloke who was drinking cans
