Overheard Football Chants

[jimmyhillschin]

I was at the recent Bohs v Derry game, here's something the Bohs lads came up with

"Alan Kelly w@nks his Da"

Literary Genii those bohs boyos

[Ball Ox]

Liverpool fans have been known to chant:

"FOOOOOOOKKKK OOOOOFFFFFF Chelsea FC. You aint got no history. 5 European cups, 18 leagues thats what we call history"

And "Low lie the fields of Anfield Road..."

Also they like to sing the riff from "ring of fire"

And to the tune of "La Bamba": "Raffa raffe benitez, de de dede de, raffa raffa benitez de de dede de, Raffa Benitez, RAAAAFFFFA BENITEZ, raffa raffa benitez de de dede de"

[ironbar1690]

ibrox -singing the SASH

[Ball Ox]

Iron bar you are a mong

Where are you going tonight? The George? You fag

[ironbar1690]

was drinking in walkinstown yesterday in the walkinstown in and the cherry somthing

[bandage]

Celtic supporters:

'There's only 2 Andy Gorams, 2 Andy Gorams..........'

and to the tune of Jesus Christ Superstar

'Billy Dodds superstar, your da's on the paedophile register.'

First one is from when Goram was diagnosed with a form of scizophrenia (spelling?) and second was when Dodds' da was arrested for having child porn on his website. Excellent stuff.

I don't want your platitudes Sam. You name is forever tarnished in my eyes after your post last week about Matty Forde. You are a quisling - now and always.

surely you meant to say platitude bandage, i would be surprised if the plural exists (humbug or some other grammitical expert might clarify). anyhow i prefer shibboleth.

i am not a Benedict Arnold, i just don't condone violence on or off the field. The treatment Matty receives is an ugly part of the game but it exists and by and large he deals with it in the manner of the sporting great that he is. i don't think fans should make excuses for such incidents - if the same act, deliberate or not, had been done to a Wexford player and no punishment meted out yet i reckon we would be far more voiciferous on the issue. the media coverage has been unfair and perhaps the incident is not as bad as when first viewed but on the other hand he has already been lucky in being able to play at least 2 championship games before receiving any punishment.

the plural does indeed exist, as in the phrase "mouthing platitudes" (itself a platitude i suppose).

not sure where "shibboleth" comes in, except for being a nice word. anybody got any good examples of shibboleths by the way (i.e. contemporary examples, obviously the word "shibboleth" itself was once a shibboleth)

good to see "quisling", bandage, comes into general conversation far too seldom.
though do we not risk being considered mountebanks in our use of these words?

I heard Liverpool had a chant to the Jackson 5 "Blame it on the Boogie", changed to "Blame it on Traore".

And not chants as such, but the Italians love their banners.

Inter fans turned up late en masse for a game in 2004 (in annoyance at a particularly poor season) having left a banner on the terrace asking "Are we missing anything?" Another banner later that season said "We don't know how to insult you any more".

On a darker note (and a lot of the banners are unrepeatable - especially the Roma/Lazio ones), Verona brought a banner to a Napoli game in the '80s saying "Help us dream, Vesuvius"; Napoli responded at the return game with the banner "Juliet is a slag".

But another good one was when tiny Chievo Verona neared European qualification in 2001, and their fans displayed the banner "How do you spell Champions League?"

(Before anyone smites me for theft, these are all from John Foot's excellent book Calcio)

Yes, i have heard similar chants about Djimi. Its so funny if he gets brought on as a sub, he gets booh-ed by his own fans. (Although probably he probably deserves it)

[steamboatsam]

to the tune of Craig David's Rewind:-

Van P-e-r-s-i-e, if she says no, mol-est her

[steamboatsam]

not footballl but hurling. Richie Power, kilkenny youngster, is allegedly the product of two cousins..

"your fa-ther is your bro-ther, your sister is your mo-ther, you're fooking one another, the power fam-ily"

[corleone]

The Van Persie one takes some beating, heard it at White Hart Lane myself. Spurs were playing Newcastle but that seemed irrelevant to the Arsenal hating fans. A good L.O.I. favourite by St. Pats fans against their arch enemies Rovers to the tune of the Beatles: "We all live, in a Tallaght housing scheme, a Tallaght Housing scheme..."
Probably the nastiest of the lot was after Patrick Kluivert killed a girl while speeding in his Ferrari during his Ajax days. Opposition fans made screeching slamming on breaks noises when he'd get the ball. Some reckon he could have been one of the greatest strikers ever but that broke him???
Feck off administrators I know who you are!

Good to have you back corleone. However, I am concerned at the threatening manner of the line above. If you want a war then bring it on and I don't care if you know Jerry Flannery.

Rival fans to Graeme Rix after he was convicted of having underage sex

'If you tolerate Rix then your children will be next'

Liverpool fans to Wayne Rooney

'Does he like a salad? Does he fuck!'
