Was fucking awesome!!!!
I wish this would be our permanent way of ''booing'' the other team...its annoying and much louder than actually booing...and we've demonstrated the capability of being able to whistle loud.
on the flip side, we can use the loud sharp whistling in our chants as well

First time I have ever heard it at BMO.
It was music to my ears. GORGEOUS!

Yeah, me too, for me it is what a stadium at the end of a positive result should sound. Sweet Music.

Yeah I liked it a lot - sounded great on tv. It creates a really intimidating atmosphere and puts the opposition under much mroe pressure, as well as the ref to blow for full time of course! Nicely done.

haha... I remember maybe a year ago, there was a thread dedicated to whistling.
lots of instructional videos and diagrams were posted... I still can't do it!
well, I can whistle normally... just not the loud kind one needs at a live game!

They do the whistling to boo the opposing team in Argentina too... I like it :)

Yeah, I think it's Fenerbahce fans who whistle the entire time the opposition has the ball. Annoying as hell but so effective.

was it that loud??? I know a few of us were doing it in 110. One dude behind me was blistering loud and that's all I could hear.
That's awesome, glad the rest of the stadium was doing it as well.

I tried until I got a head rush. My wife didn't help by jokingly saying, "want to blow up some balloons now?"

Been trying to learn since that last thread and still can't get it no matter what I've tried. It's gonna take another year for me to whistle loudly at this rate. Sounds amazing though.

I think North American fans are the only ones that boo at football matches...in Europe the fans alway whistle for the other teams ball possession and bad calls by the ref.....or just to razz the other team in general...it was great to hear it at BMO

I've always been a big fan of whistling rather than booing, especially when watching world soccer and you hear the home team supporters whistling when the other team has posession of the ball. It's great!

the whistling last night was awesome! Brilliant end to a brilliant night and atmosphere. Im at work now but im going to see if i can get this down by sunday hahahha. I remember when there was a whistling thread as well last year, never could do it.

It's a tough skill to do but it's amazing. My dad can do it great. It's awesome when you watch games like Boca-River and it's louder than an airplane because everyone can whistle.Practice up!

Fuck man! Ya got got me. I thought this thread was gonna be a complaint about the whistling and how it annoyed the OP. I was gonna point out that it's supposed to be annoying. Glad you everyone (except the ref) got a kick outta it. :)

I always thought whistling was directed at the ref to call the game, rather than a taunt or anything like that.

It is.
but if it's done at any other time...taunt.
MartinUtd
04-27-2009, 11:43 AM
Thought so... but I don't recall the crowd whistling any other time.
Well.. one time at the 2002 World Cup and the announcer was getting really pissed off because the Korean fans were using actual whistles during play.

We may or may not be the best fans in MLS, but we certainly can be the most annoying (at least to opponents!).

And that first video helped. I can whistle, but not with my fingers. But I just did!

yes Fenerbahce fans do whistle at every opposition possession. it does get annoying... especially if you are a Galatasaray fan :D us Galatasaray folk like to whistle for every bad ref call (or non call), and during the last 5-10 mins of a match.
but i must say... i felt right at home in Turkey whistling at the end of the TFC game. its one of the better parts of a match for me.

Galatasaray..... pfft!
Blue and yellow my friend!
Anyway if we could do this everygame in the last 5-10 minutes, that would actually make up for our lack of energy and productiveness during this time. :D

ok I don't want to overdo the whistling You Tube post thingy but this one is a good instructional video - and i really do think it would be a blast if this became a tradition and we were really good at it - i suck by the way and am determined to learn for the next match!!!

you want ear piercing shrill whistling? Rip the liner of of a dasani water bottle or pop from the stadium, tear a little piece of the label and pull it tight using your thumb and first finger from both hands. when that is tight, bring it straight up to your pursed lips and line up the flat edge of the plastic, parallel with your lips and blow!!
