Mexican Wave

[Rag_hater]

When I see it on the telly I like it.Think it looks good.
However never been part of one or seen one at Eastlands or Maine Rd does anybody recall if we have ever had one.

[Wonderwall]

There was one or two after mexico 86. Not seen it ever at eastlands. However i am from the other school of thought that its shit and I wouldnt join in anyway.

I always find the term Mexican Wave funny. I understand why outside of North America this what the wave is called. But they took from the U.S. who took it from Canada. Almost every sporting event I have been too college or pro has done the wave. I have never done it.

[Goaters 103]

Remember being at Poland v England in Katowice in May 1997 - a huge wave went round the ground, yet when it reached the England section, to a man/woman, everybody just stood there and flashed the v's in the air mouthing a communal "fucl off." The wave went round again and got the same response stopping dead at the England end - that ended the wave and the message was received.

I rate the wave at football about as highly as that stupid kick-off countdown idea as well at the Euros - wtf is that?

I'd also dock points for any team in football that has to play a tune when they score a goal, to create some sort of atmosphere. Thats Bolton, Burnley, Middlesboro and Wigan et al all starting on minus 20 this season. Other points docking offenses should be for players who do the rocking baby goal celebration, players in short sleeve shirts who wear gloves, and any team that hasnt got a clue what their true kit is so change it from all blue, to stripes, to white to stripes again - yes thats Wigan again. Cardiff's switch to red should also provoke a 20 point penalty.

So how many points would you dock from us then?

You forgot "the heart" celebration. That should be punishable by death.

The wave only works where the whole ground wants to play along, so you either need away fans tucked away in a high stand or a party atmosphere which is usually only at a neatural ground

i hate that one so bad... the worst for me is watching that Boy Band hearththrob/monkey Gareth Bale do "the heart." That makes me want to go rape an entire Welsh village, one of which the name i couldn't pronounce would be preferable, in viking-style retribution against him, and then steal their money and burn their village down. Does that seem reasonable? If not, please refer to the evidence below.

The "heart" is a major reason why I don't want to see Guidetti in a City shirt.

Amen, brother.

The Mexican wave is a sign of a shit game. Or of a bunch of fans who have no interest in a decent game. The style police should open fire on any 'fans' who join in.

[Wonderwall]

The Poznan wasn't the Poznan until we stole it off, errrrrrr, Poznan.

Whats it called when celtic do it?

[Alioune DVToure]

I might introduce the Mexican Poznan. Both sets of supporters face away from the pitch and jump up once every couple of minutes, missing the entire match.
