RF tonight

Didn't go, was feeling under the weather. Watched it on red Button with my headphones on and I have to say ffs, that constant feckin drum did my head in.
My Sony headphones are meant to be 'noise reducing'...they're clearly bust.
 
I don't understand the RF hate, they try to create an atmosphere, they try new songs, some might not work out but some do and that's how you end up with the "Oh Wilder said" song.

I rarely go now but when I do it is very noticeable that the atmosphere is much better than it has been when we've been in similar positions in the football pyramid against similar opponents and that is down to them.
 
They don’t but are they singing for themselves or do they want the rest of the stadium to join in? Nobody is criticising the effort. It’s honest feedback explaining why certain songs don’t work.

That lad with the megaphone is actually an opera singer in his spare time.

He must have had a few too many beers last night then. There was a point where he was the only voice we could hear and a few people around me commented about how out of tune he was.

When I 1st followed Boro
It wasn’t very good
But my father always told me
The Boro ‘s in your blood
So we will follow Boro
Until the day we die
Then we’ll join the Ayresome Angels
In the Holgate in the sky .
Allez Allez Allez

I like it , I like it , I like it !

I have respect for RF for being the only group that challenged him.
I have respect for RF for trying to create noise and spectacle.

I don't like a lot of the songs they have tried in vain to introduce.
I'm not keen on this Porto/Genoa/Juve/Napoli/Rangers/Liverpool/Arsenal/Villa/everybody song.
Who'd have thought an Italian disco hit from the 80's would be ubiquitous?

RF version is too slow and phrasing is a bit awkward, but I like the sentiment.
It's like anything, it would sound a lot better if there were masses singing it, rather than a few out of tune lads in the south stand.

"…he was the only voice we could hear…"
Shame on you all for not singing and cheering the team on when its winning.
 
RF are always going to split opinions but you only have to look at the crowd last night. The fans are unhappy with a lot of things and it was shown in the attendace. I know of at least 6 ST holders who didnt go last night. Take RF out of the ground and you'd be able to hear the players talking to each other. The only way to improve the atmosphere is to play well and win games, 1 out of 2 last night (Thank God for the red card eh)! You cant force an atmosphere which I think is what RF dont understand, they need to read the crowd better but they're also on a hiding to nothing.

You could hear the drum throughout the game. Without that, it would have been a "library".(n)

im not a massive fan of the drum or the megaphone but without Red Faction the Riverside would be even more depressing than it is at the moment
 
Red Faction are generally very good, but I have noticed a big disconnect between them and the rest of the South Stand this season.

That’s my biggest issue they seem more about exclusivity with their own songs scarves and logos, I get the ultra culture but I think it would be better if they let more into their domain. Some of the songs are so insular and contrived that no one has a hope of joining in.

I do like RF but I think they need to be less exclusive esp with songs etc.
