Ashton Kate Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 As opposed to 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' and 'You'll never walk alone'?Sung by 2 PREMIERSHIP teams (which you lot will NEVER EVER SEE) At least we have been THERE -DONE IT-AND GOT THE TEE SHIRT.A one off game against us and thats all you have to celebrate! So Sad. Now I know why we call you Sagheads your chin has been hanging down on your chest for 5 whole years . Ha HaThere is only one team in Bristol who will bring this City success and it certainly is not YOUR LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Cloud Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 The story of how they got to sing it is - sometime in the 50's they were playing Plymouth who were leading 2-1 & sung it to the sags, the sags came back winning the game 3-2 & hence sung it at Plymouth - they've used it ever since - so they basically copied it!

Red Wardy Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 As opposed to 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' and 'You'll never walk alone'?Hardly in the same stratosphere is it? "You'll never walk alone" - sung at Anfield by 50'000 Scowsers, scarves aloft, tears rolling down their cheeks."I'm Forever singing bubbles" - again, sung with passion at Upton Park by 35'000 Cockneys, tanked up on jellied eels."Goodnight Irene" - sung by some fat bloke on his sofa, listening to the match on Radio Bristol, lifts his arse to f@rt and then switches the radio off.I rest. Cr@p fans, Cr@p song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DanC Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hang on, you sing 'Drink Up Ye Cider'. Nothing to do with football really, you're not even allowed cider in the ground.Poor arguement.I'm very unsure here but I seem to recall One For The Bristol City having something to do with football.

al the pirate Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 The singing of 'Irene' is brilliant because it is unique to our club now and has been for 50 years.It is part of our tradition spanning that period of time.The Red Red Robin was good for you too, but you seemed to have had some identity crisis a few years back when you got rid of the Robin on the shirts and the song seemed to disappear at the same time. Since then you have played around with a few songs like 'Drink up thee Zider' which is not bad and 'One for the BC', but neither have seemed to have stuck strongly enough. Coventry's 'Skye Boat Song' is another song which has a strong identity with the club.I think Scott Davidsons idea of giving your club a 'Bristol' identity failed miserably and has removed the uniqueness that you once had.

LSR Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Over the last few days I have been wondering just why the sags love to sing...ugh...sticks in my throat, "Goodnight Irene"...cos it has ######k all to do with football, or did I really miss something here!Still not really sure, but I think the theme of the song revolves around DREAMS, well thats all them sags will ever have, is'nt it? Hearing it so often of late, it has become utterly sickening to me and I expect ALL other City supporters will be feeling likewise. I doubt if there are many sags out there who would know the true words or even why this is their "signature" chant, not to mention a history of the song and the original artists who performed it. But then I think their dreams turned into Nightmares years & years ago, don't you? Especially so when we enter The Championship next season!!!I enclose a link for those who of us who may be curios.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodnight,_IreneAt least they have a song where everyone sings ..all we have is cmon you reds???our passion is gone and silence apears.
