Shoreham Republican Army

[Aston max]

You don't have to backtrack pal, nowt wrong with getting boisterous at a game. I don't agree with thugs and hooligans but that tribal atmosphere is what makes football the best game in the world for me

Oh I don't know bit of hooli in all of us
Especially when you get chucked in the trent at 16 at your first away match proper (and off the bleeding bridge) coppers thought it was dead funny (bastards )

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

No,no pigs in town
No Hillsborough to sadden my eye
Jackie Charlton is dead
And all the pig fans have fled
And the year is 1889

Now that was a 70,so song

Love that song, good to hear it in full voice at Barnsley, sounded very good on Blades Player.

Ay ay ay ay
Hodgy is better than Yashin

Mick Jones is better than Eusebio
and Wednesday (or whoever we were playing if it scanned) are in for a thrashin'

 

[73TR6]

Who remembers the words to something about sulpuric acid to the tune of "lily the pink"

and the classic :

Jump down turn around, kick em in the b*llocks
jump down turn around, kick em in the head ?
or lordy kick em in the b*llocks, oh lordy kicke em in the head etc etc
to the tune of Lonnie Donnegan's skiffle group "pick a bale of Cotton"

probably not quite PC enough for today eh ?

'HEATH OUT!"

Sung from the Kop in February 1974 election campaign. (That's Heath as in Edward, the then Tory prime minister, not Adrian.)

 

[Blade56]

Hope we never revive the "I'm forever blowing bubbles" chant at the Lane

 

[Grappler]

And the pigs had their own 'East Bank Republican Army' shitola chant.

I remember it too mate.. At GVSS.

pommpey

It was always laugh hearing them try to fit "cos we are the EBRA" into the last line.

Also, not sure if this was the same across the whole of Sheffield, but in the 70's, lots of lads used to say "all Blades aren't we?", years before I ever heard any SWFC fan add "we're" to make it WAWAW. Which of cause sounds like

Mick Jones is better than Eusebio

Thought it was
Hodgy is better than Yashin
(Yashin was the worlds no1 keeper at that time )
Bit of useless info for the young uns

Any idea where I could purchase the CD?

No, as I thought, Ronnie says it has been ripped open and will be converted into flats

Probably a reference to a County Cup game at the Lane v. Wendy (probably in the 70's). It made the front page of the Mirror. Avert your eyes now, all those upset with flares, smoke bombs, global warming etc. but a Unitedite took a bottle of acid hidden in a fake top hat onto the kop. Wendy had a few 'boys' on there that night and the bloke lobbed the acid at them.

I believe that was before the Alan Hodgkinson testimonial match in Sept 1968

I'll bow to your superior memory, Silent!

(wasn't you with the acid, was it? )

Ha ha. I was only 6 then and wasnt a Lane regular until Jan 1970 I read about it in the Morning Telegraph archives when I was doing a Flashing Blade feature on Woody's goals and assists. Ronnie also mentioned the incident in his book too. Dont think the police ever found out who it was

Finally come to me. (Damn this Alzheimer's!)

We'll drink, a drink a drink,
to Lily The Pink, the pink the pink,
the saviour of,
the human race,
'cos she invented,
sulphuric acid,
and we'll throw,
it in your face.

Lovely!

 

[Eskimo]

Ay ay ay ay
Hodgy is better than Yashin

Mick Jones is better than Eusebio
And Wednesday are in for a thrashin


or and Birchenall's better than Rattin

 

[Eskimo]

We've a knock kneed chicken and a bow legged hen
Haven't had a w**k since I dont know when
We walk with a widdle and talk with a smut
Doing the Shoreham boot walk.

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankley
Have you heard of the north bank Highbury
He said no
I don't think so
But I've heard of the SUFC

SU
SUF
SUFC
OK

The police did get someone. I'll not mention the lad by name, but he was one who knocked around in our crowd on match days and was one of the quieter more unassuming members of that lot.
When we found out, we couldn't believe it, he'd have been one of the last you'd have thought had the evil intent and bollocks to do such a terrible act.
