Like us in the Paxton ,you mean?I'd rather have consistently louder, more passionate home support than a few big flags any day. Don't get me wrong, tifos are impressive - but they would seem pretty pointless if our fans just shut up and go into moan mode 10 minutes later.
Agree. No offence to SouthernCross10 but the ones you posted look shit and something out of a Beano comic book. That said I am jealous of any fans that are aloud to show their passion for their club without being arrested, banned or told what size flag and material it has to be made of.I don't think they work that well in England, it's not part of our fan culture and will just look like a poor imitation. IMO of course.
In what way is tifo a new thing and in what way are Dortmund exempt from criticism?Well it's a hard one, cos Tifos are modern, and we're supposed to hate modern football right?
But then its Dortmund, and they are exempt from criticism.
Tough one.
If Dortmund handed out plastic flags, modern football haters wouldn't bat an eyelid.In what way is tifo a new thing and in what way are Dortmund exempt from criticism?
Spot on.I don't think they work that well in England, it's not part of our fan culture and will just look like a poor imitation. IMO of course.
That one we had was classic, i thought someone dropped a hankie.Spot on.
Never have been part of the UK football culture. Big flags have always been present at Anfield and various Cup Finals but never ever ever tifo or the ilk.
It just looks shamelessly copied from abroad in a desperate attempt to be hip.

And at no point did it need professionally made flags......Always suspected people who poo poo the origins of copied ideas as being flawed but not really offering something in return, TOTTENHAMS stadium used to create noise and sometimes the passion that went with it !
Dortmund's neo nazi support is being stamped out by the younger generations, the ones who make the pretty pictures in the Sudtribuine who actively display tifo with strong Antifa message, personal favourite was 'no beer for racists' however this does happens at a lot of big football clubs though, Real Madrid the prime example Ultra Sur (who ive spoken about before) have many members seig heil-ing and making stickers/banners comparing Mourinho with HitlerDortmund have some of the most violent neo Nazi fans in Europe, ones that the club are desperate to rid themselves of but this very rarely gets mentioned and lost in the midst of pretty pictures of big binoculars.
Oi... I heard that! That stuff doesn't just 'throw itself' you know!!I like it, beats throwing pieces of old newspapers! Very creative!
Why is it everything that gets popular in europe, someone decides to copy over here? We fucking INVENTED football. We should be having greeks italians and germans fucking looking to us! copying us!
