Music being played after goals

[Damski]

This may prove to be an unpopular opinion, but here goes.

Can we not have a song played after every goal United score at home?

What's the point? It's honestly the tackiest thing I think it's possible to do at a football ground. Are we that moronic that we need to be reminded of a chant to sing every time our team scores? Is 15,000 people going mental not enough noise?

I think what irks me the most is that it's quite an "American" thing to do. It's like you're suddenly at an NFL game. Plenty of teams don't have a song playing after a goal. Do we really need one?

 

[2ndtenorblade]

I agree, but some people like it, it just to makes me want to sit down.

 

[Damski]

Same! That "We're the red and white army" chant is good, but when the song's played at the same time it ruins it. At least it's better than that "DUH-DUH-DER-DUH" song they used to do. Horrific.

The goal music is shit. Been wanting rid of it since the end of the 2002/03 season. That was the season when it all started if my my memory serves me right and it should've been left there.

I've hated it ever since as it adds little value other than to kill the actual goal celebration

What on earth makes you think its an unpopular opinion? I dont know a single person who likes that crap, its cringe worthy and belongs at ice hockey games with stupid blowup instruments.

People have said its for the kids in the past and that theyd stop coming if it stopped being played but thats bollocks and the last thing we need is the next generation of fans to only be able to sing when prompted.

And Annie's Song before kick off too. It's almost like we're a choir being ordered when to sing. It's pathetic and i imagine away fans piss themselves laughing.

Can't we just play Annie's Song in full pre/post match. The crowd will sing it when they want to.

I blame Gary Sinclair. (DJ Rayvon)

The first time I remembr goal music was La Bamba after Fjortoft scored against Ipswich (I think), maybe in the play offs?!?!

Can we start a petition and send it to the club?

Ban Annie's Song at Kick Off and all goal music.

Definitely!

I blame Sinclair too, my dislike for old Gary is abit of joke amongst my mates as Ive been slagging him off for this crap for over a decade now!

It's probably not a bad shout, the crowd would sing it instead... What a fascinating idea...

When I was a kid i used to love Gary Sinclair. He made me laugh when he used to slag Wednesday off over the tannoy. It's got more and more cringeworthy the older i've got.

Like, let's say weds are winning at home to Forest. He would read out every result like this:
Team A 1 - Team B 3..
Team C 2 - Team X 1.
Forest are losing 2 nil.

You're allowed to say Sheffield Wednesday YOU WILL NOT TURN TO STONE.

It's like when people write S*FC or Sheff W*d, really pisses me off... Where's the twat thread?

 

[Karaoke Blade]

and must he play that John Reilly 'Love this city' at EVERY match? I know he must be big mates with him but it really is a shit song.

No, I like that. South Barnsley don't need to be mentioned more than is strictly necessary.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

I think it's one of those things that's a little more popular when you're doing well, probably for the reason that more of the supporters are happy and don't give a shit either way.

Personally it doesn't bother me whether we have it or not. I do however think the younger supporters enjoy it as part of the atmosphere and it's more of a modern thing so why not have it.

Don't be a miserable bugger it's Christmas

 

[WhiteHawk]

Agreed, I like it too. I'd much rather have a stadium announcer like Gary than the boring twat they have at Liverpool.

Agree about the music though, they can fuck that right off.

I'm sure the kids love it. Kids used to love all the music at Steelers games. No doubts there.

But I think it ruins the atmosphere. The one time in a game where you don't need to create a plastic false atmosphere is when a goal goes in. Goals just get you out of your seat and off your feet, sometimes you jump up and down like a loon.

Not many clubs that do the goal music thing, so god knows why we still persist

I'm 27, does that count as young?

I'm 27, does that count as young?

It depends on a number of factors.

Do you take any medication for a long term condition that you get when you get older, like lumbago, gout, rheumatism or arthritis?
Were things so much better years ago?
Do you choose a car based on comfort and fuel economy rather than speed and maximum volume of the badly fitted after-market stereo?
Do you think Radio 1 is shite?
Do you dress for comfort rather than fashion, or would you willingly look a bit like, for example, Gerard Way out of off of My Chemical Romance? (Bear in mind we have pictorial evidence of this)


If you answer "yes" to most of those questions then you may indeed be old, unless of course you feel that pointy shoes and a tragic fringe are still signs of youth and vitality.

We still manage to sing it before every half at away games without the intro so get it stopped.

Youre a similar age to me so no

I was thinking more the little uns.

 

[SotonBlade]

After witnessing several 'Stadium Announcers' at other grounds, we could do a lot worse than GS!

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

The cock up yesterday before kick off was hilarious yet embarrassing at the same time. We still managed annies song without the intro over the tannoy

 

[torridon]

I haven't sung Annie's song pre match since they introduced the prompt, but joined in on Boxing Day after the technical hiccup, there is no need for any music at football save for pre kick off, half time and after the full time whistle, get it binned.

Whilst we're all wanting the music binned what about the shit on the pitch?

 

[diplomat]

The prompting of Annie's song worked in the prem, it roused everyone and we had some brilliant renditions where everyone joined in and it set the scene for an atmosphere that roused the team.

Recently it's resulted in a half hearted mumbling of it that I personally don't join in with as it's not quite the same when playing the likes of Stevenage.

It was noticeable by its absence on Boxing Day - was that on purpose ?

My early memories were from the late 80's onwards where the two sets of fans gradually filled the ground and the atmosphere was allowed to generate itself, which I prefer.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Nowadays there is no atmosphere, it`s hard to generate any, it is like a morgue at the lane.
