[QUOTE="RoyalBlueStuey, post: 162564"] Can't agree with that....The only place I've heard of anything like that was when Everton played Millwall in the cup. Apparently there was a large percentage of their fans who barely looked at the pitch. Their sole focus was the away fans. Generally however you can't say footy fans aren't watching the game, just look at the barracking the refs or the opposition get from the crowd. Footy just has a much stronger tradition of being partizan. It's just a way of getting one over on your opposition. Whenever Chile play Bolivia they sing "Let's all go to the beach" because there was a war years & years ago which resulted in Bolivia losing it's only stretch of coastline. Genius. [/QUOTE]
