longtimeblue Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Don't know if anyone remembers but i was a young football geek and the season we went down from the premiership we played sheff utd 3 or 4 games before end of season.... I remember them singing "oh when the blades" to the same tune but slower and with different parts of the stand singin it at different times, sounded class. why has our version gone to belting it out dead quickly twice?

Something to do with a large percussive instrument and a boy with no sense of rhythm. The sad thing is that it's buggered it up even when he isn't there now as a lot of people expect it to accelerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if a particularly vocal group start singing it and stick to their guns on the rhythm and tempo, the song can be restored to it's former glory. The biggest tragedy is the loss of 'Sheridan's blue and white army' which now speeds up exponentially and results in everyone clapping as fast as humanly possible after only a few times through, normally not even in time with each other.

pukka Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Or we vote and get that Drummer to stop taking his drum. Nothing against the lad, but the drum gets right on my nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markoasis Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 What are you trying to say Andy???? I suppose it's better to warn people now that suddenly being hit with a huge barrage of noise (would like to say songs but no lyrics can usually be made out) five minutes into the game when we arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It's like the impossible to keep up with Sheridan's blue and white army chant; listening to the the RRE sing it from the Main Stand it's impossible to hear what is being said, it just sounds like random noise and clapping.
