What's the story with the fans turning the other way and jumping up and down after they score a goal?

Bodhisopha · 03-02-2011 3:19am

They copied it from a bunch of Poles that visited their ground earlier in the season.

applehunter · 03-02-2011 3:19am

Think its called "the greek"

I saw a team do it in the champions league last year or the year before.
They were so organised and did all sorts of nuts stuff during the game. They would go almost silent too and then all shout out something. Anyone remember this?

J. Marston · 03-02-2011 3:23am

It's called ''The Poznan'' or something like that.

cson · 03-02-2011 3:28am

It's from Lech Poznan fans.

Not content with buying everyone's elses players they go and steal other peoples celebrations too :pac:

folan · 03-02-2011 9:04am

Yes. its Lech Poznan.

Its being done as a tribute to blues legend Neil Young, who has recently been diagnosed with cancer.

citytillidie · 03-02-2011 11:59am

PSG also do it as Derry fans have done it since we went their.

fkiely · 03-02-2011 12:01pm

Nothing like a bit of originality...

LuckyLloyd · 03-02-2011 12:04pm

Was anyone watching the FA Cup game at Leicester?

Original or not, their travelling support seem like some bunch of fans.

But... why? You miss the player's celebrations?

The Volt · 03-02-2011 1:20pm

AEK did it at Goodison last year when they were 4-0 down. Classic stuff

The_Kew_Tour · 03-02-2011 1:24pm

I know Northern Ireland and Hibernian have done it for quiet some time.

Slovakia did it in Croker back in 2007 and looks class.(facing the pitch)

Look like the ground is rocking, love for Ireland to do it.

Pity City dont turn and face the pitch and pity they have to copy another side.

But thats City fans for you.;)

And what about Derry,AEK,PSG fans etc etc who have been mentioned in this thread?

Do you think when ever someone does something it is completely original!? You're just raging United fans didnt do it first

Sadly Young has just passed away so we'll be seeing it out in force again at the weekend.

I wasnt there, so i cant comment on their support.

I just remember a post on here at the time complaining about the Rangers fans "jumping up and down and cheering"

I saw that long time back in Germany. 1999 it was, when Borussia Dortmund played away to Frankfurt. Borussia was 3:0 down, playing like a bunch of eejits.
The whole away section (6000-7000) turning around, jumping up and down, singing 'Jingle Bells'

RasTa · 03-02-2011 5:04pm

Bursaspor fans where doing it as well and not only after scoring a goal like the City fans(were 3-0 down at the time)

Fast forward to 0.45

City don't just do it after a goal either.

When was the last time fans of your club started anything original? At least at City we have our inflatable yellow bananas.

That is quality.

TangyZizzle · 03-02-2011 6:01pm

I found it fairly odd seeing the City fans doing it, considering how they reacted to it when they were first introduced to it by the Polish.

Ill be in staying in a city North of Poznan this Summer, Ill be heading back down to the see them play again, though. Unbeatable atmosphere. Dont ya just wish you were born on the continent.

The_Kew_Tour · 03-02-2011 6:04pm

^^^^^^:pac::pac:

TangyZizzle · 04-02-2011 3:22pm

What's that?
