"Your support is ****ing shit"

"Shall we sing a song for you?"

"Is this a library?"

Are my three most hated universally used chants.

They're often sung before the match has barely begun.

They're symbolic of the neanderthalic element found at many of our clubs and, personally, how do we hope to get rid of sexism, racism and homophobia if this nonsense continues?   As the cheeky smileys infer   there is an element of tongue in cheek here, before all the neanderthals on these boards wade in. 

Give me your thoughts. Do any chants irritate the hell out of you? Do you think they do symbolise anything negative about fans?

[Lord Snooty]

The dreary way our fans chant "Huddersfield Huddersfield" really irritates me. It sounded alright when we were all singing it with a full stadium in the good old days. But now, with just a hand full singing, it sounds terrible.

And when they chant, how shit must you be, we're winning away.

You know damn well what happens next.

[jjamez]

Marching on together.

The one that spurs use that calls themselves a derogatory term, and don't get punished, yet another clubs supporters do and spurs fans cry about the term.

Glory glory man United... They've not seen glory in ages give it a rest.

Tbf I don't like the stand up if you love the town one too, not many stand up and it looks tinpot

---

As an aside I disliked when our program was called give us an H. Doesn't sound right

[Lord Snooty]

Whoever thinks up these chants must have a shit record collection. For instance....

Do do do Football in a Library to the tune of Do The Conga by Black Lace

and.....

Don't Take Me Home to the tune of Billy Ray Cyrus's Achey Breaky Heart.            

[WakeyTerrier]

The one that winds me up the most isn't a chant but it's added in the middle of our National Anthem.

"No Surrender"

You then look at these half wits who sing it and think why are you singing that, you're not even old enough to remember the troubles in Northern Ireland or that old that they dinosaurs

Can't stand Marching on Together for obvious reasons

Your support is xxxx shit, often sang to the opposition fans when they are beating us. I'd rather have a winning team than a football team resembling a choir

[talkSAFT]

We They sing "The Lord's My Shepherd" at the Albion about 2 minutes after celebrating a goal. Absolute sh*te!

Bugger-all to do with Football, but first sung jokingly back in the 70s when we played our 1st ever Sunday game. (Unfortunately it stuck!)

[WakeyTerrier]

If this is a thread to get things off your chest then I've a few other things to moan about.

A minutes applause- Only fetched in because Football fans can't be trusted to keep quiet for a minute.

Requests for a round of applause in a certain minute to remember a fan that has died- No, just no. We have a minute to remember every fan that has passed Once a year. Fan X is no more special than fan Y

Concourse culture- Jumping around chucking beers around, letting flares off. It's not big and it's certainly not clever.

Football Vloggers- F*cking loads of them, most of them complete whoppers. Spend most of the game looking down the lens and pretending to be John Motson. Several of these d!ckheads were out in Qatar and went to every game. They were sponsored by big companies to do this but failed to mention that. They'd turn up at the 3rd group games where two games KO at the same time, watch 20minutes and then p!ss off to the other game and watch the last 20minutes. Tickets that other supporters could've used

[Lord Snooty]

Nice rant, Wakey.

They can't even do the minute's applause right now. When the announcer is half way through reading his piece about the deceased, some nurk starts applauding meaning everyone else joins in, thus leaving the announcer to cut short his/her tribute.

[Devongone]

Wakey's on his way to having his own fan club, including me, after that rant.

Short-sleeved football shirts worn over long-sleeved tee shirts, or are they liberty bodices, if you're young, google them.
Short-sleeved football shirts and bare, unimpressive arms, or more hard tattoos than The Illustrated Man, topped off with GLOVES ...... FFS!
GLOVES! When I played they were a sign you were NESH, so everybody kicked you. Let's get back to it!
Bandaged hands, you never see a game without them. Do they mean more rings than Edith Sitwell, or so much w**king boxing gloves are necessary in bed?
Drummers with all the rhythm of a disturbed six-year-old locked in a side ward.
Referees who think camply showing a card of any colour to someone on the touchline enhances their manhood.
Commentators who use the word "persuasion" as in "those of an Arsenal persuasion". This is your fault Jane Austen.
Rainbow laces and no gay players.
The universal learned banging of the turf by attention-seeking players exaggerating the most minor of injuries.
Applauding the fans when being subbed after 60 minutes of total anonymity.
Managers who insist on looking like refugees from a charity shop and refuse to smile even when their team scores six.
Goalkeepers who think a corner is a prompt to behaving as if Agadou is playing full blast and waving their stupid gloves in the air will help the defence.
Any fan over the age of eight who cries when his/her team loses, and any player past puberty who does the same ......
Kissing the shirt or the badge - save it for the bedroom.
Applauding anyone for dying. Imagine, the biggest round of your life came after you'd left it, what bigger testament to a life wasted?
Centre backs going down hurt. Nothing short of a train crash should hurt a proper centre back.
Goalies who concede a goal and immediately need a drink of water. Water helps in the Atacama Desert, not between the sticks. Trust me!

That's enough for now. Chants, if they are funny, original or engaging add to the game. Otherwise they demonstrate why your missus is about to leave you.

[WakeyTerrier]

Love it

That bit about the goalies needing a drink reminded me of what the big screens in the grounds at the World cup kept telling me.

"keep rehydrated between Buds"

Chance to get dehydrated would've been a fine thing but they only sold soft drinks and Bud Zero

Here's a few more for you

Players/managers talking to each other but putting a hand in front of the mouth so nobody can see whet they are saying...who cares

Subs coming on with notes for the captain...you've trained all week for every eventuality, if you need a note we're in trouble.
