I shouldn't have to come up with a suggestion and if they can't find one then at least don't use this one. Monty's suggestion is decent enough and I did hear them sing it once. I remember Placide's reaction once and I felt so sorry for him, and yet they continued to sing it!!! I sort of guess why some sing it because it is a catchy tune, (that's why the B***ard Rovers song gets dragged up) but I really hope the main people in the Athleticos either change the words or nip it in the bud when the song starts.

I didn’t say that you had to come up with a suggestion, merely that you suggest that they find an alternative. However it’s all moot if you’re not on Twitter.

My thoughts are though that they should have enough decency themselves to realise it's wrong. Can you imagine we have won an important match (stay with me on this) and Fondop comes over with his baby in his arms, family pitch-side so pleased for him and they sing that!!! Not only that it's 8 year old kids belting out the song. Truly awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope someone does send a message, although the main people within the Athleticos are adults and if they can't see it for themselves then an anonymous person telling them may not change anything. Also, I still would like someone to explain to me why this song has been used for Placide and now Fondop. There is a connection there that I can't quite put my finger on....

Could be wrong but wasn't Placide actually on Tinder and that's where the song came from? Assumed thete was logic to the original. Seems daft with Fondop if he's shacked up and got kids etc. As shit as the Mvoto 'swings his cock...' song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Blue Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I don't think he was on Tinder. I seem to remember it was song starting up at other clubs and we nicked it , but could be wrong with that. I do know that Placide physically wilted when they sung it. He went from an extrovert on the pitch into his shell which then impacted on his performances. I didn't go on this forum at the time but was it ever mentioned on here?

Yes it was that as well and so when you are vulnerable , sensitive to anything negative and need support, how did the Latics fans help? He was an extrovert , he made a save in a match, turned to the fans and then they started up this song and he just put his head down. He couldn't express himself in case they sung that song.

I love the enthusiasm of the Athleticos, although I generally can't pick up the 'lyrics' of their songs, but if the Fondop song is what I think it is it really needs to stop. I believe the Athleticos are recognised by the club as a semi-official supporters group, so surely the club can do something to stop it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who or what you are referring to, I assume it's some sort of dig. If Graham was a pale, balding man who was concerned about inappropriate behaviour then yes that was me.
