Was watching the footie on Saturday and was, as usual, screaming abuse at the ref and the other team. Most of it came out as either chants supporting my team, or against the other. I was just wondering, what chants do people tend to listen out for, or just find plain funny?

"Pasty's and Cider. Pasty's and Cider"

" ---- is a very nasty man"

---- = the refs name who cancelled a match for insulting chants during a previous game (yes, they can in Holland)

One of my favourite American football chants of ALL TIME was during the players' strike in 1987 when the Washington Redskins (an all replacement players team) defeated the St. Louis Cardinals (a team that had some of its regular NFL players) 28-21 at RFK Stadium. The scab 'Skins played so well that the fans chanted, "Stay on strike!"

As for real football, one of my favourite chants to be a part of was when D.C. United were playing a friendly against Leeds United at RFK Stadium in '97 or '98 and D.C. supporters chanted, "have you ever won the double." Leeds supporters in the stadium had a CLASSIC WTF look on their faces!

One of my PG 13 or R-rated favourites is "couldn't score in a brothel."

Two I've heard, neither from my own team:

Ipswich Town Supporters: "We'd rather bomb Norwich than Iraq!" To the tune of "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands"

and

Woking Fans: "You're going home in a Surrey Ambulance!"

People watch soccer (football) in north america?

Dont get me wrong its fun to play but even more boring than baseball to watch....

I like the chant against my homeclub:

Het is zwart
het is geel
het is homosexueel

It means:
It is black
It is yellow
It is homosexual

I like it, exept that it is agains my club

Indiana U. played Tulsa in soccer yesterday, and since it's getting near Christmas time, we made up some really nasty christmas carols to sing at them.

Others:
"The yellow team sucks!" (in reference to the referees' yellow jerseys)
"Who wears short shorts? 9 wears short shorts!" (in reference to a Tulsa player wearing short athletic shorts)

Fun times

Ipswich Town!

Brian Cloigh is a football Genius, Brian Clough and Peter Taylor red army spring to mind but some other good ones are.

Build a bonfire: Lyrics:
Build a bonfire,
Build a bonfire,
Put the Direby on top
Put the fester in the middle (Coz there s***)
and burn the f**king lot.

(Only sung on the next game after bonfire night

City Gound: One of the best chants this:
How far have we travelled
wot places have we been
Goodison n anfield
sum places we have seen
Old Trafford an Maine Road
still echo the sound
Of the boys in red
From the CITY GROUND

Mist over the trent
Chorus
City Ground,
Oh, mist rollin' in from the Trent,
My desire is always to be here,
At City Ground

Verse
Far have we travelled
And much have we seen,
Goodison, Anfield are places we've been
Maine Road, Old Trafford still echo to the sounds,
Of the boys in the Red shirts from City Ground

EIEIEIO
(Verious Lyrics, sung when we score a goal

Forever Forest
Forest ever Forest
All our hopes are with you
True supporters forever
Till our days are through

Through the seasons before us
Down through history
We will follow the Forest
Onto victory


Oh Nottingham is full of fun
Oh Nottingham (oh Nottingham)
Is full of fun (full of fun)
Oh Nottingham is full of fun
It's full of tits, fanny & Forest
Oh Nottingham is full of fun

soccer fans are nuts :rolleyes:

soccer fans are nuts :rolleyes:
Almost as nuts as Basketball, Baseball and American Fottball fans, and don't you mean football fans?

Who eat all the pies,
you fat bastard,
you fat bastard,
you eat all the pies

At a recent Raiders game: "Hey Collins you suck! Try another sport, like knitting!"

Adams Familly tune:

They come from near Lochgelly,
they're dirty and they're smelly,
they havenae got a telly,
the Cowden familly.

"I hope you enjoying bagging my groceries."

Also directed to Celtic fans:

Sign on,
Sign on,
with hope in your hearts,
and you'll never get a job,
you'll never get a job.

to the tune of 'walk on' - could also apply to Liverpool methinks.

whenever a bad call against us is made, me and my friends chant -

"Nuts and bolts, nuts and bolts, WE GOT SCREWED!"

That, and we call the refs heterosexualy imparred.

Not a football chant, but up here it has to be "YANKEES SUCK!" We chant it at Patriots, Celtics, Bruins, AND Red Sox games.

there's no way that american sports fans are as crazy or fanatical as english football fans.

Almost as nuts as Basketball, Baseball and American Fottball fans, and don't you mean football fans?


Well other than the current basketball brawl I dont see knuckleheads running onto the field to beat the tar out of players.

Actually, they probably dont do that in north american sports as the players are:

a) not little pussies and would kick fan ass
b) really really large

Who eat all the pies,
you fat bastard,
you fat bastard,
you eat all the pies

what the hell?????

oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh
you fat bastard you fat bastard you fat bastard

This is actually from my college basketball team but i think it still applies.

When the other team is going to lose (i.e. we are winning by ten points in with a minute left on the clock the chant starts:
Warm up the bus!
Warm up the bus!...

It usually includes the crowd shaking car keys as well.

Yeah, uh, Red Sox fan here. Nothing compares.

Have sox fans ever had a riot on the field other than a little pushing match? Riots outside stadiums dont count lol.

Soccer fans are nuts, when was the last time you saw a baseball FAN running on the field after a player?

while not really a fan haze, a late night sports show where I live showed a hockey game's highlight where a guy gets a really bad elbow in the head.

The sports guy blurts out " WOW what a hit, that guys not gonna crap right for a week"

to which the guy he is working with responds " Ya you would know hey, tinklefairy? "

"fuck the redwings"

Soccer fans are nuts, when was the last time you saw a baseball FAN running on the field after a player?This guy and his kid tried to stab a first base coach one time. I think. I don't follow baseball that much.

I don't attend a lot of soccer games, but I've got a short history of
American football chants at Northwestern.

University of Kansas:
"There's no place like home."

Ohio State:
"What the f*ck is a Buckeye?"
"O-ver-rat-ed!" clap clap clap-clap-clap

Indiana:
"Hoosier daddy?" clap clap clap-clap-clap

Purdue:
Return of the "Overrated" chant

Illinois
"What the f*ck is an Illini?" (Yeah, we're a creative bunch.)

General-purpose chants:
"State school, state school." (Not a big fan of this one. In my opinion, it should only be used by bad teams whose only saving grace is that they're at a top-20 school.)
"What time is it? TIME TO MOVE THE CHAINS! THAT WAY!" (Yes, we celebrate first downs.)
"Huffman Heisman!" clap clap clap-clap-clap (In honor of our truly awful kicker, Brian Huffman.)

Wow, its still going. Hooray, my thread made 3 pages!!!
Okay here goes...

When the other team fouls our player
"Go down the pub, drink lots of Pints,
Get F****ing plastered.
Go back home, and beat your wife,
You dirty Northern b******ds"

"He's short. He's fat. He's had a heartattack.
He's Joe Kinnear He's Joe Kinnear.
He's short. He's fat. He's had a heartattack.
He's f****ing Joe Kinnear"
We really don't like him!!

there's no way that american sports fans are as crazy or fanatical as english football fans.

Yeah. We only wish we could live up to the English level of fanaticism and stab random people after games.

a) Yeah, Rugby players are pussys sure, just say that when you try to tackl a charging Martain Johnson. :rolleyes:

HAve there ever been cases of a MAnger PUNCHING a fan to try stop a pitch invasion? (Ala clough) Or of fans dieing during a match?

There have been cases of managers fighting fans, yes. I don't know if there have ever been fans dying during matches. But you know that's not really a thing to be proud of.

I know it isn't, I was Hillsbourgh. I don't remember any of it, (I was a baby) but I still know a lot about it and I have read about it. There where the ones who died at Bradford as well. And who died during the Hoolisganism in the eightys.

You think I proud of that?

Thats true Didnt think about Rugby, I was mainly thinking of the HUGE pussies you have playing soccer.

who the hell is simon shaw?

Here we go, Steelers, here we go!

:cool:

Purdue University football chants, mainly done by band members, including my brother...well, it's kind of a chant.

"What time is it?"
"Oh...about 1:10."
"AND INDIANA STILL SUCKS!"

And then at Ohio University hockey games, whenever the home team scores a goal:

"We're gonna kick the $#!* out of you, and your mom, and your dad, and your girlfriend too!" Sometimes when the crowd is really pissed at the other team they substitute "boyfriend" for one of the words in that chant. Apparently there are three other versions of the chant, but I have only been goin to games for a couple of years and frankly can't understand half the crowd anyway.

b) Simon shaw (6 foot 9 inches)


So he's tall. Great. How heavy, and how fast?

I went to my first football (soccer) match last August while on vacation in Scotland and saw Rangers and Hibs play. One of the chants i heard was set to 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland:

"Here we go Nacho Novo
He said no to the provos
He said no thanks
Ya bunch of w*nks
Walking in a rangers wonderland"

Atleast i think thats how it went.

So he's tall. Great. How heavy, and how fast?

Well in America for Colledge football there is a school called Northwestern University. They are an Acidemic school so they never realy get good players for American Football.
They have a chant that goes something like this
"It's allright, It's Okay, We'll be your boss someday"

So weight doesn't always matter skill does. You don't want weight the lineout, you want skill. After all you have to be lifted.

You're the one parading that Simon Shaw's size around as if it's important. I just provided a counter-example.

My favorite would have to be Wings of An Eagle, sing to the tune of My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean. The place can of course be changed.

If I had the wings of an Eagle.
If I had the ass of a crow.
I'd fly over Jersey tomorrow,
and s*** on those bastards below.

S*** on, s*** on
S*** on those bastards below, below.
S*** on, s*** on,
S*** on those bastards below.

Size is importnet, especcially in the line out, to grab the ball you need to be big. But you also can't be two heavy. Otherwise they can't lift yu. You however seem to think that Size is all, after all you did say 'Ha! He's only 267 lbs'

Listen. I've played both sports. Neither is harder or tougher than the other. They're both difficult and physically demanding in different ways. I just always take the opposite side of this argument. It's supremely arrogant to say that rugby is tougher than football when you have absolutely no idea, or vice versa.

At University of New Hampshire hockey games.

"Give me a U"

"U!!!!!"

"Give me an N"

"N!!!!!!"

Give me an H"

"H!!!!!!"

"What's that spell?"

"UUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" (like a groaning sound, if you didn't get it)

Thats the problem, because I've only played Rugby all the feedback I've had about American football is from a American freind of mine. So thats where I've built my knowlage of it from.

"It's allright, It's Okay, We'll be your boss someday"

Interesting. I didn't hear that one at any of our home games this year. Of course, we won all our home games during the school year, so that might be why.

And what has your American friend said about football?
That it hurts less than Rugby. :)

As for the chants, Football chants are more imigantive than Americna football chants.

That it hurts less than Rugby. :)

Hmm. I'll agree to that. Rugby hurts more, but I get hurt more often in football.

This is how it feels to be city,
This is how it feels to be small,
This is how it feels when your team wins nothing at all,
Nothing at all.

sung by United fans everytime they see a city fan, or the stadium, or whenever we feel a little bit down and want a good laugh. (29 years since their last trophy, I wasn't even alive!!!)

I could use a 40-yard dash time. Robert Gallery's is 4.98 seconds, simply phenomenal for a man that size.

You just can't compare raw numbers between football and rugby players, because football is played in short bursts and rugby players have to be built for endurance. In football, the hits are harder and the players move faster over shorter distances, but I'd take a rugby player over a football player in a marathon.

Personally I would take hockey players over either but that just me...
