SOCCEROOS ACTIVE SUPPORT
For Australia, by the Fans

FB: www.facebook.com/socceroosactivesupport
Twitter: @socceroosactive

A fully transparent, independent, Australia-wide concept by the fans for the consistent and continuous improvement of Active Support at all Australian National Team/s football matches. We are in no way connected to the FFA.

The page has been set up to further the communication between fans all over Australia (And the world) in an open, honest, healthy and productive manner.

We ask people to be courteous and keep posts relevant and to the point. We welcome debate and discussion on relevant issues regarding our national teams, but post subjects will be kept predominately to the Active Support side of things.

This page is run by volunteers from all over Australia. We are not here to be abused.

If you're the kind of person who wears your Green and Gold with pride and puts in the best effort you can into supporting the National Teams. Then we want you!

Feel Free to post, comment, post photos, videos.... We want your input!

More Mexican Waves, Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie OI OI OI, and Beachballs plz

I wish you luck.

Good luck with your endeavours.

Said during the Asian Cup that we should take a leaf out of the Iran supporters. Simple, yet effective. And without the cringe.

One of the most challenging tasks left in Aus football. The most important aspects are to keep it organic. Any FFA involvement is the beginning of the end. The active areas if you have any need to be more relaxed. IT HAS TO BE GENERAL ADMISSION. The stewards still get in those areas and tell you flags down, sit down or your in the wrong seat. FFS.

No mexican waves, no bogan fanatics, no mexican waves and definitely no Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi. Keep the chants simple and snappy. Good luck, going to need it.

Just stop Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie and Mexican waves pls

Active Support for the Australian National Team will never be as good as club level for many reasons.

Active support club level in Australia is all for image, show, and who can upload a photo on FB or Instagram and brag about it for days on end. You just need to see Ultras Mentality Australia FB page for proof. These people have no hesitation jumping club to club, using the example of ex-Sydney fc fans (former active members too mind you) and now proud WSW/RBB members, because they are geographically “closer to home”. It’s these same people that do not have the love, the passion to support the Australian National team at the highest level. You ask me why, because they have nothing to gain from it. it’s not cool. Mexican waves are not cool, singing aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi is not cool, but rather embarrassing.

Another problem is Australia is too big geographically, active members would be lucky to do a few away trips a year I take it? Why would they to go through the financial hassle of watching Australia be wherever interstate, if they do not care, nor have the passion… they would rather buy the latest clobber to show off.

Can you really see a NT, RBB or Cove member standing side by side without their complexes getting in the way? I can’t.


That is just my 2 cents, and I am not painting everyone with the same brush, cause there are people that can do both, but that is a very small minority.

I went to an Iran match and must agree. They were great. They did join the Mexican wave however but I don't mind the wave as it does add to the combined participation of the crowd, unlike those who chant oi, oi, oi like it's coming from a swimming carnival.

I think a few renditions of "Tits out for the Boys" would go down really well

Call & Response of "TITS OUT FOR THE BOYS" & "STUFF TITS, SHOW US YA CLIT".

We need to wave rubber chickens in the air! Pronto! It will be semi-unique!

No rugger tops! No one who even likes rugby allowed in to games! No one who likes AFL allowed in! Just us genuine kulcha football fans!

Kill those who say Aussie Aussie Aussie! The preferred chant will be Oz Football Oz Football Oz Football Si! Si! Si! (they say Si in Madrid, who have kulcha)

More teenagers with heaps of product in their thick black hair! A priority!

I shall not rest until these important changes are implemented! It is vital for the future of football in this country!

Blokes with ponytails to be banned!

Good luck, I hope it works out!

Needs more CCM Brass Band

Or Perf Glory cheerleaders

Couple of points
1. I thought the name terrace australis was excellent....should continue
2. Don't try to make it too complicated...it's not a club team you see every fortnight so keep it simple
3. As a Socceroo supporter of over 5 decades I can safely say I've heard and seen it all so anything new should be spontaneous
4 get rid of the Union Jack from the flag...should be discarded with the oi oi oi

1. Get Permission from the FFA to come on their property and do whatever you feel like.

Pretty sure you're not gonna get past point 1

Personally, I think chants in Australia lack so badly because there really aren't any 'player specific' chants.
SFC's old Mark Rudan one was fantastic. The Archie one is average at best, but it's not that hard to just pick a catchy song/tune and much around with it until you pull out a great chant. I come up with them weekly, just watch games on TV.

This so much.

How hard would it be to adapt this to Juric? (answer: not hard)

Missing a syllable on the first sentence.

Shame on you.

The Seb Ryall one is fantastic.

You're not wrong :lol:
But we need more like that! newbies should leave games knowing player's names!

Chelsea at Arsenal to the tune of volare:

Vieira whoooaaaaaao
Vieira whoooaaaa
He comes from Senegal
His mums a cannibal

Thanks for you support guys.....

It will be a tough challenge as its a massive education process for a lot of folk....

We will NEVER get Socceroos support to the level of decent club support for a number of reasons-

- People are from different areas
- We aren't together often enough to "practise" on a regular basis
- Seats, stadiums are different every game
- Organisation is much more difficult

What we can do is -

- Educate people about what the home end wants and needs from punters on game day
- Close the gap between everyone to become more tight-knit in our way of support (ie Get as many people as we can all on the same page)
- Lead by example

SEB RYALL FUCKED THE TARDS AT ETIHAD, OLE OLE OLE!!

Yeah by letting finkler ghost in and score the winner in the last minute of the finals last year.
