This is among the funniest things I have ever seen in the football stands. Fans of German lower division team Magdeburg came up with an interesting method to help their team who had gone five games without scoring. Rather than booing and voicing their displeasure, they decided to help the team by pointing out where the goal was with brightly coloured arrows. It looks like something straight out of a Monty Python sketch, hopefully this will inspire more creative forms of grandstand protests amongst fans of other clubs.

Sadly, Pompey also looks back on the all to brief stay of Capital City FC in the CSL. Enjoy!
