Why is ITHOL sung now being sung in the 57th minute of games? That aside, decent enough atmosphere, almost universally due to the Green Brigade.
They've got a new megaphone man & he's the boss. Sick listening to the carrot - feck being in that section.
They’ve made a decision not to go with the 67th minute singing any more. Guy in upper half of the section tried to get it going and most around him joined in but those in the GB section refused to point blank. We were only ever doing 67 on 67 minutes for the anniversary, now that's passed we'll use it any point. If other fans want to continue with it on 67 and it takes off then we will join in like we would do so with any other song should it take off. Whatever we were singing on 67 last night quickly got canned with folk joining in with 67 once that began to take off from the upper section, so saying we point blank refused to join in or we're purposely singing over the top of it is a lot of pish. We've heard this pish for about 10 years and its never been the case. Apparently your man who started it last night stood giving us the finger, raging for about a minute straight after too...we're not the petty ones!
The whole 67th minute light show/concert fad quickly lost its appeal - most who join in are more interested in shining their phone lights for a couple of minutes than actually singing along and contributing to the atmosphere. It was fantastic at times but most of the time it was halfhearted and that's when it begins to lose its appeal. I'm glad to see the back of it and I certainly don't think we're alone in our thinking either.

What happened in 116 when the stewards went rushing into the crowd in the 2nd half?
I couldn't see from where I was

Not sure if this is the right thread, however, I'm pleased to see that two people have been charged in relation to the Dean Shields incident at Dunfermline on Jan 2. Also interesting to see that they've been charged under the (hopefully soon to be repealed) Offensive Behaviour etc Act. This is another case in which the common law charge of breach of the peace would have been more than adequate. Slippery slope. Where do you draw the line at giving players stick?

Can you not get a better singer to start the songs off? For example, he sings in the wrong key at the beginning of Grace, and the group needs to go to a lower pitch after the 2nd line.
Does the boy with the long hair and the megaphone really need to curse when exhorting the group to start singing?
Drummer is good though.

Slippery slope. Where do you draw the line at giving players stick? Not sure, but chucking fake eyeballs at a guy with a disability there can't really be put down to giving players stick.

Agree that we have to be careful what gets caught up in the 'Offensive Behaviour Act' (that piece of horse dung needs to get repealed ASAP), but can't believe there's no other law, etc. that those morons could be prosecuted under (there must be something within the law regarding mocking of someone's disabilities, etc.).
Not wanting to get into a shouting match and not having a real go at you, but thought it was rather insensitive saying 'giving players stick'

In that case, after 11 years, the Green Brigade will just call it a day. I was on your side you lunatic.

Not sure, but chucking fake eyeballs at a guy with a disability there can't really be put down to giving players stick. Stick, abuse, whatever you want to call it. Where do you stop? Should we allow police officers to decide what's offensive? That's not really worked out too well. Would calling BFDJ a fat bastard get you the jail? Can we speculate on Beckham's wife's preferred sexual proclivities without getting the jail? Will calling a player baldy get you lifted?

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Not sure, but chucking fake eyeballs at a guy with a disability there can't really be put down to giving players stick.
Stick, abuse, whatever you want to call it. Where do you stop? Should we allow police officers to decide what's offensive? That's not really worked out too well. Would calling BFDJ a fat bastard get you the jail? Can we speculate on Beckham's wife's preferred sexual proclivities without getting the jail? Will calling a player baldy get you lifted? Seems your the one being rather thin skinned.
By the way it wasn't Police Officers who charged those idiots, it was only after all the bad publicity that they were finally prosecuted. The fact they're being prosecuted under the stupid 'Offensive Behaviour Act' is ether lazy or other ulterior motive (most likely this)
