I don't know how many of you have seen it, but it gave me goose bumps.

Maybe it's been posted here already, but just in case for those who haven't seen it yet.

Incredible truly incredible! A message to all those cunts who say football is just 22 ppl kicking a ball around!

[Ollie 4,400]

That really is awesome. More atmosphere there than when we have 42,000 in our stadium.

Haha. What a brilliant idea.

Guess it's an okay solution for such a situation, but it's still a computer generated sound, nothing to get excited about.

[Barbara 15,149]

I don't think it's exciting, I think it's touching. It's a passion that not even the sad and bad stuff we face in modern world can hold back.

Of course I'd rather have a stadium filled with people there instead of a sick sounding system, I'm sure those players and manager would also as well, but that's how they coped with offering the team what they needed.

Those weren't their voices and they couldn't see their faces, it doesn't mean they couldn't feel the support behind them. It's about that imo, not about the technology used or being cool. It's about those players feeling the supporters behind them, just like players around the world can feel at any match, but they couldn't until then.

And it's not for the title, it was a match against relegation, which makes it all more awesome. I know a lot of fans that are more than ready to abandon their teams if they don't win titles, let alone if they're facing relegation.

I feel a lot for countries where people lost what we take for granted every day. I feel bad about what humanity is turning into so when I see something like that, I feel better about things, I feel better for people like them and I feel hopeful because I want to believe things like that have the power to change the people in charge who are making so many stupid and inhuman things and decisions.
