Red7 Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 You'll have to excuse my ignorance here, but what are the 'backing vocals' on the Callum O'Dowdal track that was played at Ashton Gate last night? The bit that goes "**** off...**** off..."? I thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I heard "Fork off Bolasie" but I've been known to hear then sing stupidly wrong song lyrics so I'm not the best judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 No seemed comfortable singing the Bolasie part and frankly out of date unless were playing Villa. How about replacing the lyrics with just Max O'Leary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I think the expectations being placed on a young keeper are unreasonable. You now want him to run down the wing, as well as save things. Foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know? When the song was sung at Albert, we used to sing Yannick Bolasie in between when they both played for us. Easy to change his first name to F off I guess once he left and it seems to have carried on since with O'Dowda's song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonPark Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 The song was sung for Albert, then at the time yannick decided he didn’t want to play for us anymore hence the **** off bolasie. It must hark back to then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed RedM, can just about understand it when Bolasie is on the pitch playing against us but including it any other time is just a bit odd imo. Is Bolasie really such a hate figure amongst City fans that we need to tell him to FO every time CoD is on the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I like it and I think that and the Matty Taylor chants actually really helped last night. You can really see the confidence it gives the players when their names are sung like that imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know? 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 think I was being a bit flippant when I said ditched. Left, moved, was sold perhaps. Wasn’t he just breaking into the team a bit more regularly or returning after injury perhaps when he said he wanted to leave to go back to London. Then he signed for Palace which some fans weren’t too happy about. I’ve personally got no grief with him, would have liked to have seen more of him and Albert together. As I said I didn’t realise there was such a time difference between him and CoD, in my head that was the only reason that the song could make sense, but as you say it clearly doesn’t. Bit odd but pretty much like most football songs I guess? I guess he’s having the last laugh now though as he’s after all an Everton player, who’da thought?
