You could argue that we're having the last laugh, or at least a very long laugh, now that he's on loan at John Terry's lowly Aston Villa...

Anybody know? That part of it has been sung since 2012 when he left and we still had Adomah. Previously it was “Yannick Bolasie, Yannick Bolasie” not **** off. Don’t think anyone can really hate the bloke though, we shafted him during his time here not the other way round. Just something that’s stuck. If we get another good winger that fits the song I’m sure that’ll replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems plenty can hate him given the booing he received in the Villa game, agree that it’s very harsh as he just left a club where he wasn’t getting game time.

Love watching them and them getting the singing starting but some of it is unnecessary.

I think people look far too deeply into this kind of thing. I often mumble along with ‘**** off bolaise’ as it’s just habit and fits. I don’t think there’s an awful lot more to it than that. As always though anybody in the ground us free to amend/sing as they wish. I look forward to hearing other interpretations from different parts of the ground. 14 minutes ago, Aaron-Bcfc said: That part of it has been sung since 2012 when he left and we still had Adomah.

I seem to remember he really came good in the close season friendlies, looked like he'd earned a place in the team for the forthcoming season, then chose to go in the August. Bolasie arrived as a relatively inexperienced player with only 51 - mostly lower league - games behind him and made 23 Championship apps. (1 goal) in his only season with us, hardly neglected.

I was one who felt that as a team who largely failed to offer much of a goal threat (after the first month or so of the season when I seem to remember us scoring quite freely), Bolasie was someone we needed to get into the line up. But I agree that there was little to suggest in the cameos he did put in that he'd be sold for £30million a couple of years later. I don't think it was surprising he didn't get much game time, but if he felt he should be getting more game time and that was the driver for him leaving (from memory the reason given was that he wanted to go back to London tbf), hindsight suggests we should have given him those minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 3 hours ago, Undy English said: The original song was when we had Adomah and Bolasie amongst our ranks. The song, to the tune of Buddy Holly's 'Heartbeat' was dedicated to Albert with 'Yannick Bolansie' filling the gaps in between. After Bolasie left in a sour fashion, the lyrics were changed to '**** off Bolasie'. This has stayed ever since, even though the song is now about COD, not Albert! I really can’t see how handing in a transfer request because he wasn’t get much of a look in at our club is ‘leaving in a sour fashion’ and despite the classless ‘F off Bolasie’ nonsense in that song, there were people on here waxing lyrical about Leko when he arrived saying he looked like he could be the next Bolasie, and it was meant in a positive way! I don’t think all City fans dislike the guy as much as the ones who trot out that chant....he wasn’t getting a look in so wanted to move on....fair enough, good on him...no player stays forever....

I think it was his unreliable temperament as well as his inconsistency that prevented even more games - wasn't he sent off for elbowing an opposition player at AG, or did I dream that? He obviously had confidence he should play regularly, and indeed that he could play at a higher level, and he was proved correct on that one but that's not to say he'd actually earned a regular start at City at that time judged on performances. He certainly came good very soon after he left us but as I said above I remember reading comments on OTIB at how sharp he looked in pre season games and great hopes for him for the season ahead, and then he put in a transfer request and left.

Don’t get how Bolasie is remotely relevant to us? Call me a miserable sod but not every song has to be expletive laden for the sake of it, which as far as I can tell is the only reason it’s sung. Why can’t it just be a catchy song about O’Dowda? It’s actially a really good chant, ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s on loan at Villa, but his parent club is Everton isn’t it, so he’s an Everton ( Premiership) player to me, playing in the Championship. Just as Kalas and Da Silva are Chelsea players, and Tammy before them, aren’t ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
