[Albion] Marseille fans

[brighton terra]

Pretty good support to be fair. I would rank Athens the best, Marseille in the middle and Ajax comfortably the worst. And fair play to whoever was waving those flags for the full 90. Some feat of muscle endurance.

I’d say Marseille were quite some way better than AEK!

I am still asking myself, Dodger's what? Bicycle? String of onions?

Looked like a sign taken from outside some dodgy northern nightclub in the 1970s.

 

[Mr Bridger]

How DO you smuggle flares and 20 foot long flagpoles in (not that I want to)? Inside some grands pantalons? Is that maybe why they’re called flares?

The French Sticky Vicky.

 

[brighton terra]

Seriously? We all thought it said CUBA

Commando Ultra 84

Couch was an obvious omission from the TNT presenter team last night, coincidence? I think not

I wouldnt be surprised if the huge flags, megaphone and limited amount of pyro for authorised fan display members were pre requested by Marseille official supporters club and after discussion, permitted by Albion. I know we say no to this in England, but Marseille might have requested on the basis that this is their football culture in France and they have a trusted and authorised number of members who take responsibility for a pre-agreed number of pyros, and this way it will stop the masses trying to smuggle in their own pyro - seems like the only reasonable conclusion to me, bearing in mind the stewards/police didnt pile in and remove fans/pyros.

 

[Justice]

They made it a proper European night of football a winning late goal flares smoke bombs and limbs, fantastic.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Did we agree to their spliff too? Just imagine what more of that in the home end could for pie sales.

 

[patchamalbion]

At the home games, they were louder than the other 2….bouncier too, they didn’t stop bloody jumping!

 

[Commander]

What was going on with them chucking what looked like shirts at the police / home fans in the South stand at half time?

 

[RandyWanger]

Good fans, best I've seen at The Amex

 

[Thunder Bolt]

My effort at half time.

Number of members? Blimey

Particularly good of them to fire up the pyros in support of our goal. Put our little smoke bomb to shame certainly.

Would crush the atmosphere though

 

[Black Rod]

Great that the club allowed them to bring in their flags, megaphones and presumably had limited searches given the number of flares that made it into the stadium

If only they were not so draconian with home support. Something for the head of security to consider maybe, presuming he is not totally preoccupied with the Post Office scandal inquiry laying out in public what a nasty piece of work he is

 

[Munkfish]

Let’s not get too precious about away fans in the home end. After all, lots of our fans did just that in Athens!

Do you reckon they rocked up in a brighton shirt and a scarf?

 

[jackalbion]

After coming across next to no trouble, I believe I can now officially declare, the supporters of Olympique Marseille, to be… ALL MOUTH.

 

[AK74]

Commando Ultra 84

I had that game on my ZX Spectrum.

I thought the other banner said "DOGGERS" which seemed very strange until someone pointed out it was DODGERS. In my defence, it was a little creased where by the second D. The fact I have an opticians appointment after work today is unrelated.
