*** VOLUNTEERS FOR TIFOS ON WEDNESDAY***

Posted this in the other thread but should be in here really...... Simple logic. .. 1. Get the flag before the game starts 2. Wave it when the teams come out 3. Wave it briefly when the ball goes out for a corner or something when the noise in ground rises.  4. Wave it just after we score. 5. Give the flag back when the game is over.  Its not astro physics is it ??

The TIFOS are great but there is one way to make them very unpopular and that is to use them during the match when the ball is in play. 

Just because we want an atmosphere does not mean we do not want to see the game.  The most effective use of the TIFOS is before the game and at natural breaks in play as in half time full time and the odd injury etc.  Anything  more than that is going to make them unpopular in my view.

Fair play to any of those that wave them etc and I suppose some of us who don't wave them and then give out about them being used inappropriately need to take a look at ourselves and think why are we not volunteering so that they are used properly 

I will put my name down for the Bosnia game in May and make sure that I am waving them before the game and as the team comes out for 2nd half. 

Also why the need for agression on the terraces. Can people not speak to each other politley without resorting to telling people to f off etc.  It is possible to get your point across with a smile and a bit of banter. It can diffuse many a situation.  Or just give them a big kiss, it works a treat.

yeah have to say i agree with babbsballs here you have to take into account everyone around you or else you will just turn everyone against the tifos
