Red-Robbo Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 I hate to say it, but it is mysteriously popular though. When I DJ parties, I always get asked to play it. To my horror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute glee with which my better half inspected the calendar over the weekend of the 10th and proclaimed ‘you don’t have a home game, so you can come to this family Christmas Party’ was quite unnerving .

SecretSam Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Probably popular because it's one of the things the parping clowns of the England band can play. The talentless c**ts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a song by Neil Diamond an American singer. Zero to do with Rugby.

Maybe it's just me, but it's being played to death, have DJ's got shares in Neil Diamond's estate? Every sporting event, even the cricket in Australia, every act on the stage in our fan zone, any bloody excuse it's on. It used to be Three Lions, but I could take that partly because at least the song is relevant to football. Is it just me? Definitely not just you, drives me insane. It's bloody everywhere.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should you ever want to recreate the Vuvuzela sound, just place a woman in each corner of the room, and ask them how their day was. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBigClub Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Not a fan myself either but all profits from Tyson Fury's version, released last Friday, is going to Bristol based charity Talk Club, helping improve men's mental health and preventing suicide so as long as that happens I hope I hear it 10 times a day! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall it being played at an England game before then, but whoever was in charge of the Wembley PA then decided to play it again just before the teams came out for the semi-final against Denmark, at full time after the semi-final, and again before the teams came out for the final against Italy. At £11 for a can of Budweiser I strongly suspect many fans in Qatar won't be drunk at all! Whoa! Is that a fact?, i had no idea.........so alcohol is against the Muslim Religion, unless you are loaded with cash? Just about sums up the hypocrisy of it all? Qatar?...what a joyful experience?

Someone on the England fans' forum posted the other day that it is going to be QAR 50 for a can of Budweiser in the fan zones and at / outside the stadiums; there was a picture which appeared to confirm this. At current FX rates that's between £11 and £12 per can. It might be possible to buy alcohol more cheaply in hotel bars; hopefully that will be the case, and hopefully it won't be Budweiser. I'll find out in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im more worried about Mrs F not realising that a few Saturday’s off of football isn’t setting a precedent. She’s already booked Sat 17th Dec afternoon to see friends for pre-Xmas catch-up. WTF!

Only permanent residents of Qatar are allowed to buy takeaway alcohol from the (relatively few) shops with an alcohol licence. Alcohol will be available in the fan zones and at the stadiums, and in certain hotels, for consumption on the premises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
