Ban this song!

I also grind my teeth when in the GCB song, we sing “Like Sheffield United” instead of “Oh Sheffield United.” When singing the song TO our beloved team.
 
Love our songs. The Shoreham Boys one is a bit cringey though. Anything that would have won 'Chant of the Week' in a copy of Loaded in 1992 probably needs consigning to the dustbin.

At totally the other end of the scale, I love swearing in a song. Swear words are great parts of the wonderful English Language and remember as a bairn with my dad singing the songs but staying silent on tbe sweary bits!

We don't utilise the word 'cunt' nearly enough in our repertoire. It's probably one of my favourite words.
 
Come on feel the noise
We're the Shoreham boys
We've got Wild Wilder
We've got Wild Wilder ...

You've all missed my point completely.

It's nothing to do with people "now being offended by old style language" as it rarely featured in any of the chants that we're sung when I first started going to the lane in the late 90s.

I'm not naive enough to expect to be able to protect my child from these kind of things as he'll inevitably pick it all up as he gets older, but does that mean I should just encourage him to sing songs about him not giving a fuck? That John Fleck is hard as fuck? That Duffy scored and they were fucking shite? Because he'll hear it anyway?

I'm not saying the songs should be banned. But how often do you hear classic chants such as "We are bladesmen" or "No pig fans in town" or "hark now hear" or "falling in love with you" during a match these days? It's like they've been struck off because they're not aggressive enough and don't paint our fans in a dark enough light

I like the Shoreham Boys song, but it is ruined by the moronic end bit. So why not change the words......
I suggest we reflect on our ability to dominate teams but not finish them off and ultimately end up hanging on at the end.

Shoreham Boys we are here.
Ohhh Ohhh
Shoreham Boys we are here
Ohhh Ohhh
Shoreham Boy we are here
Show no mercy
Show no fear
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

Sounds like something Barney the Dinosaur would sing. I tell you what I’ll stand on a stool in Fanny’s and see if it catches on before the next home game :eek::rolleyes:

At least we accurately count up to four during the song :)
Another inaccurate song thankfully is 'Jack Charlton is dead and the pig fans have fled'. Perhaps when he does pass away we should put that song to bed!

cos the year is 1889! :D
npfit is a classic.. noone has that song but us
 
Its quite worrying to me that we sing a song that will continually encourage our children to feast on bad food, tobacco products and alcohol.

It does infuriate me that 90% of our songs seemingly must contain the word "F***" or similar.

I'd like to teach my 6 year old a few other than "United, United" or "We Love United We Do"

It even has to feature in the O'Connell one. I've convinced him that the words are "he will head it back" but he'll no doubt soon discover otherwise.

Appreciate you can't avoid things like the "wanker" chants at the ref (which fortunately sounds like a "Blackman" to a 6 year old!) but is it so difficult to come up with a family friendly chant that everyone can join in with?

Seems to be only over the last 4 or 5 years that it's got worse

But you're ok with the fact that we're teaching a 6yr old that it's ok to Head bricks? ;)
 
Football, like society in general looks like it's being steered towards a sanitised,non aggressive, non confrontational,non offensive all inclusive idealistic world..... because that's human nature, it's what we are all really like.......... or maybe not.
Swearing has never bothered me at football, nor my Dad when he took me as a kid, who never went beyond saying "bloody".
Dunno about the rest but I learnt all my swear words at junior school.
As I overheard someone saying many years ago on The Kop when being pulled up over swearing.... " if I wanted to not swear I'd go to church".

Maybe every so often we should sing Baa Baa Black sheep?

Or, we could modify the words to suit.

To the same tune^^...

Sheff U-nit-ed, we are very good. Yes, sir yes sir, we are very good
 
One practical method of ensuring that no minority interest groups are offended by our songs would be to employ some American-style Cheerleaders , who would perform , through the public address system and upon the giant screen , a repertoire which has been fully vetted by the British Board of Film Censors , the Advertising Standards Agency , the Vegan Society & the Council for Black Disabled Lesbians Displaced from Muslim countries featuring on the At Risk Register.
I would support such an initiative provided that the Cheerleaders were all young nubile females with huge tits , long legs and wearing very little. Each would have to be certified by the Board of Governors at Hinde House to possess a hot pussy which could accommodate 4 working class male fingers at a moment's notice or take a break with a popular 4-section chocolate covered biscuit.
There would be a rigourous (non-discriminatory) selection process which ensured that successful candidates could respond with enthusiasm and compliance when the kop spontaneously broke into songs such as "Get your tits out , get your tits out , geeeeeet your tits out for the lads !"
Get. Your tits out. For. The. Lads.
Ps - anyone remember that bird in the short red skirt & blazer who wandered the perimeter fence at the kop end selling programmes in a decade long ago ?

it’s just a tongue in cheek self depracating song not a comment on social engineering
perhaps we should invent one that extols the merits of living in a sanitised plastic bubble? ;)

You mean Kit Kat. Although Joan Collins may like Take a Breaks as well......

Marianne Faithful liked a Mars Bar by all accounts......

This idea that everyone is trying to PC-ify everything is silly. For me, I'd sooner shit in my hands and clap than sing "shag your women, drink your beer," but I'd gladly sing "he'll head the fucker back." 6 is a bit young, but my Dad resigned himself to explaining that people who swear lack the articulacy to say what they actually mean. Unless they're saying "fuck off Wednesday."

Personally, I'd rather sing something original that is comprised entirely of swear words than 'Greasy Wilder is one of our own.'

I don't think there's ever been a more divided, less sanitised, more confrontational and uninclusive world that I can remember. Though you're right, football is increasingly sanitised.

This was a particular favourite of the Woodhouse Blades some years ago. Here they are singing it in the back room of the Stag. It's the night the Millwall coach rocked up and the locals mobbed up and kicked the shit out of them.

No swearing, just a sing song, a gargle and a bit of excessive violence.

Better times, better times.
 
Absolutely gobsmacked nobody has mentioned the "Brooks will tear you apart" chant!

That has to be up there with one of the deadest melodies known to man
