I've got to disagree with this. Passionless football has turned the county ground into a library. Devoid of atmosphere.
Nowt wrong with passion.
I was talking about on the pitch, not in the stands. |

And so was I. No passion on the pitch eqauls no passion in the stands. |

Rubbish. Passion is for the bedroom - you don't want players running round with an Albert Brind style red mist. You want players who are calm, confident, committed and under control. And the same on the touchline - the idea that players are "inspired" by some windmilling loon bellowing at them and threatening them for 90 minutes is ridiculous. |

Crap, slow tempo football on the pitch = muted atmosphere

no doubt about it, the crowd need something to get them going ; opposition fans; good attacking football; a few good crunching tackles or a dodgy ref.
not really had any of that in this run. even the refs have given up being shit, shame the reds haven't

Yep. Never said otherwise. Passion does not equal tempo. |

One big difference between last season and this is the lack of bookings. We racked them up every game last season.
Whether means anything
Ah, who the fuck cares, anyway

Quite how Albert's spectacular tantrum is a demonstration of passion remains a mystery to me. There's something peculiarly British about applying the word "passionate" to someone who will be spending their Saturday afternoons sitting in an empty room.
Until of course he executes a perfectly guiltless volte face once we string together a few wins.

Season tickets were probably much better to throw when they were a massive wadge of paper tickets, I imagine you could rip them all out and make a big show?
Chucking a plastic card at someone's probably not quite the same?
Opening day of the 2003 season, a guy stormed down the Don Rogers when we conceded our 3rd against Sheffield Wednesday and threw his paper season ticket down on the touchline before storming off. About 5 minutes later he sheepishly came back and collected it. I wonder if that was Albert? |

What would UEFA make of it. If booing is a crime, then abusing a matchday ticket must be a public flogging

It's only a crime if you boo the UEFA "anthem". If you're booing a black player for being black for example, or making monkey noises etc, that's perfectly fine. |

Someone did that in the Town End that day too. |
