Quote:Hmm ok, I've tried to base logic on what Football (soccer) teams do over here but clearly the cultures are even more different than I thought. To me, what you've described almost makes me want to laugh. I'm not sure if you watch English football but crowds don't just make noises and chant, they sing. Bigger crowds can quite easily completely demoralise younger players to the extent they simply can't play and have to be subbed.

Quote:I'm 100% certain you lot would be shocked if you saw a live English Soccer game, especially at Championship level. Over here, if my team (Charlton) was to play our local rivals (Millwall or Crystal Palace, aka the scum) 20% of the police force has to come down just to make sure no one gets murdered before all the derogatory singing takes place
