Songs We No Longer Sing (2 Viewers)

[Skybluekyle]

I remember in the late 90s we used to sing this to opposing goalkeepers, I have used Mark Crossley as an example.

Crossley is his name
Crossley is his name
He stinks of piss, he's got no friends
Crossley is his name

Loved the League One title winning season away at Southend Utd. Won 2-0 during a bad storm, O'Hare and Biamou getting the goals, and the Southend keeper getting a rendition of this chant (tailored to their name, of course).

Their keeper got injured and had to be subbed. As the sub runs on towards us to his goal everyone starts chanting "ooooohh" until it reaches a crescendo as he turns around, everyone sees his shirt adorned with the name "Taylor", and everyone starts singing it again but with "Taylor is his name". It was an 18 year old kid from their academy. Pure savagery, actually quality banter.

That's still makes my blood boil, the good old scousers, not.

Except it’s not true. Liverpool served an additional year’s ban

I was responding to the fact that we were banned from Europe because of the Liverpool fans who at the time cause the death of the Juventus fans.

The extra year was just not long enough, should have been another 10 years.

“He stinks of piss, he’s got no mates” wasn’t it?

I remember going to Colchesters old ground in the 00's, we were right up against the pitch, we went 1-0 down and then won 5-1, for the whole of the second half (it felt like) we sang that song to Dean Gerken, I'm sure he wanted to crawl off the pitch and die as each goal went in

That’s brought back some memories!!!

We were absolutely dog shit first half and never saw the 5-1 coming!!!

Just googled it and it was 2008. Doesn’t seem that long ago!!!

Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go ooooh and repeat.

I remember Paddy Kenny getting a verbal onslaught against at Loftus Road. Then he had the last laugh when Rangers scored the winner.

Between 2015 - 2017 Tony Mowbray to League 1 relegation season Three Little Birds was a regular. I used to like that but just seemed to stop by the time the League 2 campaign started.

It was definitely sung during the league 2 season, usually when we were losing at home to dross like Scunthorpe

“He stinks of piss, he’s got no mates” wasn’t it?

It was indeed. I met him at a gig in Nottingham and I did a solo rendition. He took it well to fair.

 

[Nick]

"sign him up" about loan players.

 

[stevefloyd]

Who’s the b*stard in the black.
Who needs Cantona when we’ve got Wegerle.
Also that first Sky game v Tottenham live with Sonia miming in the middle of the pitch at halftime with us in the west terrace singing “ you scouse b*stard”

I remember one game at Highfield Road when I was so feckin angry at the ref I shouted you black bastard, got the words mixed should have been bastard in the black, I couldn't apologise enough to people around me, thankfully there were no repercussions and it certainly calmed me down

It was such a minority that comments generally about scousers because of it are pointless. Moreover it was a case of Heysel being the straw that broke the Camel’s back rather than the only incident which caused English fans to be banned

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Looking forward to signing ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’ on Boxing Day that’s one we haven’t sung in a while.

 

[wingy]

How does it Go, Doug king on it my mind?

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Can we please not use Bobby Thomas for the Fadz song, it’s beyond embarrassing for a player who’s not even 5% of the player Fadz is

 

[blunted]

I remember when we used to sing going down, going down, going down, and the opposition used to sing, So are you, so are you, so are you. I worry that one may be making a comeback.

If you say so Jamie Carragher.

I remember Cov fans singing this at Crewe about their winger. Thought it was cringeworthy, damn glad it is a song we don’t sing any more…..

Exactly.
Imagine the outcry and the injustice if it was another team that had done it.
They cry kick and scream about Hillsborough yet did the same at Hysel and never mention it.
Dirty scouse bast@rds.......

I'll bet you're the sort of person that claims some of your best friends are referees.

No other club, fans, have killed so many people at two football matches.

Please explain to me how they ‘did the same at Heysel’ as what happened at Hillsborough when 97 people were crushed to death due to their lungs physically not having enough space to breathe in and out, many of them under 30 single-handedly due to the police opening an exit gate they weren’t supposed to AND failing to close the middle two pens when they were already full

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

What the actual fuck are you on about? In one of them 97 people were unlawfully killed, and definitely not by the other fans. In the other one, 39 fans were killed, due to the stupid actions of a small minority of liverpool fans, I’ll give you that. But why so many people let their bizarre prejudice against people from an area of the same part of the country as them (who happen to be the most genuine, kind people you could meet on the most part by the way) convince themselves 97 people dying at a football match isn’t a tragedy and was somehow their own fault I will never understand

I'll give you that, the majority of the people in the Liverpool are kind and genuine, but I'm talking about the hooligans that support Liverpool FC, I and others on this forum have experienced the hooligans and the violence that they have caused over many years.

It's sad to say that when Hillsborough happened in 89 it didn't surprise me one bit, those POOR SOULS that lost their lives because of the overcrowding in that terrace.

And why was there overcrowding, because of the stupidity of the police opening them gates and the Liverpool fans cramming into one area, ask yourself, why did the police open them gates?

Yes you're right about one thing, definitely not by other fans.

I speak from experience about that terracing at Hillsborough two years prior in 87, we were allocated that end, myself, my brother and a friend had tickets for that terrace and as we walk through that tunnel and got to the end of the tunnel, I said oh my god, this is an accident just waiting to happen, so we immediately turn around and went back out of the terrace and stood high in the terracing by the corner flag, which is separate terracing from beyond the goal.

Ask ask yourself this, why was there no deaths that year?

On the point in the first para above I believe there were so many people going through the central tunnel once they opened the gate that it wasn’t possible for people to turn around once they went in.

On the second point I have seen many cov fans say that it was purely lucky that day wasn’t the day that people died. Moreover, it sort of takes away from your earlier niceities in my opinion. I believe you are implying that some of the liverpool fans were feral and were trying to storm the turnstiles and that this caused the disaster. It was proved by a public inquiry that all the people who died were in possession of tickets, and was proved also that there wasn’t by any means a large amount of ticketless or drunk fans in the end in general.
On the point, why did noone die in 87, it’s also more to do with the fact that the police commander had taken games at hillsborough before and knew what he was doing, if you watch documentaries on the disaster a lot of caused it was the incompetencies of the police and this commander in particular. The fact he hasn’t been prosecuted is a disgrace to be honest.

My dad and granddad were there that day, and I was born and grew up in liverpool myself, which is why it pisses me off to no end when anyone, but particularly fellow cov fans, make comments like made above about “dirty scouse bastards”, especially in relation to hillsborough, a true tragedy
