I thought the megaphone was totally tacky and inappropriate - the sort of thing you might get on the continent but not in English football. It's one step away from a Mexican wave or calling the game soccer IMO.

I thought it was quite funny and something different, I think it definitely made a difference shooting toward the pdb in the 2nd half

I got the Megaphone when I purchased the other Tannoy speakers. I had it in the bar with me, when Barry and Jaff came in, and asked how it was going outside. They said it was a little quiet, so I said try the Megaphone...but don't use the Siren feature :roll:

Cracking atmosphere. Well done lads and to Starms for kicking the right way. On another day we'd won that match.

The megaphone really added to the atmosphere last night, it was a very enjoyable experience all round, and visibly lifted the players & 12th man support. I thought McBride was man of the match, he really chased evrything down and battled hard.

Soccer is a word invented by an Englishman long long before our American friends took it to describe the game.

I recall Lincoln using a device like an air raid siren at Sinny Bank so our siren was great, but those using it need to throw less personal abuse or it could become a public nuisance.

Soccer is an abbreviation of the word Association to distinguish it from Rugby Football and used widely in the Public School system.

I assume somebody checked that megaphones were OK at our level ? I noticed NFA and UCL officials at the game, so I assume they were consulted - http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/in ... 829AA3yWGE
