Good Song to get involved in while at the game tho Gippy,

I wish our supporters were as passionate as the victory fans,

By the way Gippy where in Gippsland are you from?

I don't. There is no bigger idiot out there than a soccer hooligan.

Keep in mind that they are compensating for the fact that they are otherwise bored shirtless for 90 minutes (less any goals or faked injuries). I went to a Victory game once and spent more time watching the clowns behind the goal.

And there is no trademark issue, we have a 140 plus year start on them and that is why they are called Melbourne Victory FC and we are Melbourne FC.

im not talking about songs. I am talking about the loss of identity of association of Melbourne with our football club.

I'm sure most people would associate many things with Melbourne before the Demons or Victory

You are aware that Highbury and Emirates Stadium are completely different places?

I've been watching football here and in England for 20 years - what works for them is artificial, forced and an embarassment for us. You'll notice that everyone STFU very quickly when there's a goalscoring opportunity - the fact that there's an opportunity every couple of minutes in our sports ruins any flow that you'd get. I've heard people try it and it's absolutely painful.

Atmosphere is overrated anyway. You're there to watch your team try and win a game - anything else is a bonus.

Correct, there is too much scoring in our game for long constructed Chants. Sometimes in soccer it is a scoreless game for 90+ minutes!!

And the insinuation on this thread, that i, because i do not sing am not a passionate supporter is a little offensive to me & many others.

I have lost my voice many times for the betterment of the Melbourne Football Club, & i shall continue to do so.

P.S Go the Gunners BTW. EPL is great soccer to watch. The A League is getting there.

Good man, I'm a gooner myself.

And I also take exception to the insinuation that I am not passionate because I don't sing or chant (a direct result of all the flat spots in football games).

Footy does not lend itself to this type of crowd behaviour as it is too fast-paced and high scoring, and I often can't speak for the rest of the day after a game.

Carn you might Demons!
