Pretty impressed with myself for remembering that considering I was only about 11 at the time

Remember when Robins arrived the first time? He wanted energy around the stadium and binned the after goal blast of The Sky Blue Song in favour of Chelsea Dagger.

Yeah Chelsea dagger was the Coleman years. It was pretty ubiquitous around most football stadiums in the late naughties.

I could be wrong but I don’t remember it coming back under Robins?

Thoroughly enjoyed McAllister's catty attitude in that clip.

I didn't know it was an actual thing. Just thought it happened every so often.

Too busy throwing my pint

I don’t think it was always every goal, but seems to be now. Maybe I’m just old.

Planning on going to watch them at some point this year. Went to the Sicilian derby years ago and it was insane, both in terms of atmosphere within the stadium and violence outside, never seen anything like it.

As long as you don't find yourself unwillingly involved it sounds great

I was at Bologna vs Fiorentina a few years back, in the curva..... that game is a fairly big derby for them.

I'd been to a number of games that week in the north..... Milan, Atalanta, Verona, etc..... but Bologna felt distinctly different and yes more Mediterranean/Southern Europe influence (despite only being an hour on the fast train from Milan).

The most alarming thing was landing in the curva in the middle of what appeared to be an internal war between the ultra groups.... up there with the most intimidated i've ever felt at a game.

We watched them against Sampdoria, so pretty low profile game but even so bouncing pyro in both ends, good noise throughout. Marko Arnautovic scored a few and the announcer had fun leading the crowd in shouting his name.

Usually find it cringeworthy when clubs here try to copy what’s done in Europe (see Crystal Palace), but I liked that.

Sorry in what was is it inspired by Oh My Darling, Clementine?? And what are the Wednesday lyrics? I just heard them shout Wednesday at the end.

Glad all over, by The Dave Clark 5. Used to be a favourite at Highfield road back in the day.

I don't remember us singing it directly after a goal in the early 00s.

It became 'the thing' when we first had the drum and hasn't stopped since.

At HR in the mid 90s wasn't there a little jingle of the sky blue song, the announcer (can't remember his name) named the scorer and then the jingle again, very basic but still good, nothing at all like the Napoli video

I'm the same with crowds jumping. Looks awesome in places like Germany when a whole stand do it in time but feel like it would look shite over here for some reason (not counting City fans doing the "Poznan")

Rangers do a fun one called ‘the bouncy’. Celtic’s is the less appealingly named ‘huddle’.

never got the "poznan" why would you turn your back on the match, would look like a bunch of muppets if the opposition scored straight away.

Rough idea of it is the fact that match is going so well that it has become secondary to the party going on in the stands, you don't even need to watch it anymore.

They were really shit and didn't look like scoring again

Still if you want to not enjoy games then that's your bag.

I remember us being 4-0 up against Liverpool with 5 minutes to go and I was still worried that we might throw it away.

Although not as worried as i was against them in 97 after the Huckerby goal..... Beckham stepping up for that free kick.... thankfully he slipped and it flew into the East Stand.
