laticsrblue Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I think that the discussion on which goal song we should choose is putting the cart before the horse Maybe we should be asked this unbiased question 1st. blu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiLatic Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Do you think that this is a generation thing? There must be a lot of young(ish) Latics/football fans who can't remember a time when music wasn't played after a goal had been scored. In the old days (late sixties, early seventies) goals used to be greeted in two ways : For - A chant of, "It's all gone quiet over there." Against - A chant of, "You're gonna get your f$%kin' 'eads kicked in."* Now, at the risk of sounding like an old fuddy,duddy, I can't stand this trend for music being played after a goal is scored. It's yet another example of the true atmosphere being sucked out of the game. * I'm not condoning football violence. It's just a wry observation.

footy68 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) I like the sound of a Latics goal that much I listen for that first before I look at the quality of a goal when watching the replays on TV.

SAV Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Against - A chant of, "You're gonna get your f$%kin' 'eads kicked in." That would sound great over the tannoy when Hughes bags a last minuite winner against dirty L**ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy_Fent Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 When Scotland scored on Saturday they sang their version of that "I'm gunna be 500 miles" instead of the line "to fall down at your door" they sang "to see the Scotland score" which I thought was good, apparantly they've been doing it for years though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwentySixBlack Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I kind of see is being "told" what to sing/clap along to after a goal. I prefer to hear the punters going mental. However, when we're away and the other lot score, it does feel like they're taunting you with it (think about every time Vale score past us as that dump of a ground). Maybe just stick it on in the away section to pee 'em off and leave us with the crowd noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laticsrblue Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 The poll is almost even at the moment. Another reason that I'm against them was highlighted by 26black, I just don't like to feel that I'm being manipulated into singing the company song, even if iys OAAFC Ltd. It feels too much like the organised fun in Japan or Korea. And maybe it's because I was around in the free thinking 60s and 70s and hate conforming.

leezyverpunk Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 When we score I cannot control myself to join in on a song - I just run to the front and jump around like a loony - bvgger standing there and singing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean, but unfortunately there are many who long for the return of the scoreboard to advise them when to make some noise and to spell out the words of the 'company song'.

Absolutely gutted they won...TWICE this weekend/midweek. All of a sudden they think they're World Class, simply because they have beaten a vastly over rated French side. As for whoever suggested the 'EASY, EASY' chant. The fact this was sung when (a) we pulled a goal back to equalise or (b.) went 1 goal in front made the song sound stupid & 100% irrelevant. The chant should only have ever been used if a team was being battered (EG NYD when we beat Forest 5-0). However, I personally prefer the more offensive version of "THIS IS SO F***ING EASY, OH THIS IS SO F***ING EASY!" or "YOUR SO S**T ITS UNBELIEVABLE" or "ARE YOU CITY, ARE YOU CITY, ARE YOU CITY IN DISGUISE? ARE YOU CITY IN DISGUISE?" Glad the Easy chant has died off this year and hope it never returns. Edited September 14, 2007 by Latics4Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
