Ummm.... this is embarrassing. I have been going since 1988 and have always heard it as "calling". Thanks for putting me right.

This reminds me of that lad on here a while back who thought "ooh arh its a massacre" was "E or is an ass licker"

Yep, here goes.. Your Aunt/Uncle's partner has misheard the first couple of words. You're welcome.

I never did quite work out what R*vers were singing during the JPT game a few years ago. Something about a huge stallion, a palladium, new stadium? I could make head nor tail of it

Can't wait for us to face Starc, Hazlewood and Pat Cummins in the winter... **** me we are in for a treat... As for cricinfo, todged it up completely...

An oldie but a goodie... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/oct/31/his-bodyguard-looked-like-he-wanted-to-kill-me-abramovichs-german-ambush?CMP=share_btn_tw My favourite quote from that article... (when quotes come back and bite you on the bum)

The last Test of the WI series starts today and there has already been mention of this being Blowers' last match commentating. I believe many on this forum follow cricket on the ESPN site, Cricinfo - I know @Tomarse does, and you may have come across George Dobell, a young man who writes on the Cricinfo site. I believe the art of commentating is to convey to those who do not have the pleasure of being present just what is happening, and if this can be done with humour then so much the better, witness Blowers and before him the late John Arlott, Brian Johnson, Richie Benaud and many others. A comment from George Dobell this morning caught my attention, and I am pleased to share it with you as I found it fulfilled the aboverequirements: "Morning from Lord's. Has been a nice morning though clouding over a little now. Pitch looks greener than usual. Mike Gatting is walking around the outfield looking so like Henry VIII that his wife must fear for her head."

If you all hate Bristol Rovers clap your hands - There, i've put him out of his misery.

That is no star gate I'm afraid. It's an extreme close up of a championship ready sprinkler...

It sounded like `We`re sharing with Cheltenham` to me.

I agree.........he said he'd do **** all and he's done............**** all !

Wael Al-Qadi discusses putting a £10M charge against the Memorial Stadium whilst telling gullible Bristol Rovers supporters that he is building a club from scratch and not wasting money on short term success

Rub?

Doesn't look fun out there by any stretch, especially with some of the windies bowlers up around the 90mph mark.

I doubt any of the Jordanian clubs would have him. Just like Gillingham.

Someone who's signed up on there really needs to bump this back up to the top, along with the question.. "would those be a special brand of Turd scented roses..?"

When a nipper, had to ask why we sang "Terry Coopers gone on holiday" before I found out we were Terry Coopers Red and White Army!

when i first started going in the late 80's there was a bloke selling papers outside the old Hirerite building every game. I always thought he was shouting out 'Beans on toast' rather than 'Evening post'.

Unfortunately, judging by the way Tresco and Hildreth are batting this morning - have a look at Warwicks' live stream - the wicket seems to have improved. Or, heaven forbid, Somerset's batting has improved?

It is indeed, although they keep on saying they will improve things once the Test Series is over - we shall see. Another fantastic writer on their site is Paul Edwards, although since they have changed the format I struggle to find any of his articles.

My son ( 7 at the time) was explaining to his grandparents about the match we had just been to and said the referee was hopeless : " Everyone was singing- ' the referee's a whacker'"

We can but hope.......

It's the second verse that must sound implausibly hostile..! "If you really ******* call them, really ******* call them..."

If the telephones at the Mem have been cut off again it's no use clapping your hands they won't hear you. Try sending a telex.

There is good news for the Gas today. In addition to celebrity fans Rod Hull, Jeffrey Archer & Roy from Corrie champion jockey Davy Russell has now nailed his colours to the mast as a fan of the blue few... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/41159983

So does losing to Cheltenham reserves mean that they lost to our reserves reserve side?

I'm taking my partner's nephews from New Zealand to the Reading game on Saturday and want to explain to them about the singing. Could someone come up with a good way to explain this song to them. Thanks
