TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted March 4 Not helped matters that Darmstadt are struggling in the Bundesliga whilst Heidenheim, who went up with them and won the 2. Bundesliga on goal difference, are comfortably in mid-table in their first ever Bundesliga season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Bot 3,278 Posted March 4 Alan Pardew was on Talksport last night and discussing how in some countries 'Ultras' will demand that they turn up at training to 'have words' with the players, as he had experience of it himself in Greece. It's quite surreal seeing it on the pitch like that though, part of me likes it, another part of me thinks that the players are equally as gutted than the fans and already 'get it'. I think that from a fans perspective it perhaps does take away some of the anger and frustration seeing players getting a dressing down though, as humans, we just love a bit of blood. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Satriales 655 Posted March 4 He been playing too much Championship manager, thinks he can give the team talk. He also looks a lot like Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,410 Posted March 4 Is Zimbo injured - I think if he was playing he would have interacted with the fan? I would suggest that this was something their head coach set up though. Probably as the 6th went in he sent a club official around the pitch to the Ultra and asked for him to give the head coach a call, who then briefed him on what he wanted to say to the squad.

MC_NCFC 67 Posted March 5 Ultras have a massive say in running clubs in Europe. In fact many of them control the season tickets. Ensuring the right fans get discounts and get to sit together. They also as mentioned above will go to the ground to discuss performance. I do feel this is where English football has been behind. We now have the sporting directors to manage the strategy and football decisions. The next step is fan engagement to a deeper level. I would welcome players having to explain themselves to the fans and to listen to their perspectives. Football is a community and essentially tribal let’s not pretend it’s not. Bleed for the shirt, show passion at every moment and challenge one another to be better each day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over a million people follow NCFC on Facebook, so how many of those get to give the team their pearls of wisdom to "Just geddit forrard!" or "kick it to the big man and he can score a ghoul"?
