formerly known as ivan Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 ok, we all hate the sags. everyone knows that. but i was wondering why we sing so many songs about rovers when were not even playing them.saturday is a big game and the atmosphere should be great but a lot of the songs will be about hating rovers. why don't we instead of singing 'we hate rovers', sing 'we hate yeovil' or 'stand up, if you hate yeovil'? surely if were going to influence anything from the stands, this would be a much better way if doing it.who even cares about rovers if were not playing them?like i said though, its just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I don't hate Yeovil, they're not a worthy rival - Only in terms of league posistion. How can a bunch of wig wearing grown men be seen as worth getting wound up about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadle Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 you sing about your rivals.. end ofApparently Rovers don't sing about us.At the height of the Damon Albarn / Noel Gallagher feud, when asked what the former thought about the latters music, the Blur frontman said he had 'no opinion' whatsoever; He neither liked it nor disliked it.Gallagher later said it was the worst insult he'd ever had.

NiceRed Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Was at the Mem over Christmas and pretty much all their songs - besides the Irene fixation - are about us. Seem to remember one about GJ in particular that was sung loudly. They sing about us a lot more than we do about them that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckle_red Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Rovers fans sing more about how much they hate City than they sing about how they like Rovers. They would prefer us to get relegated than them get promoted (majority!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I didn't think we did sing about the sadsags much. I have a few sag associates who constantly moan that ALL they sing about is City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Rollason Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 yea but how many of us "stand up if you hate the gas" anymore????i never did anyway as i couldnt give a bugger about the gas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Or rather thatn anti-Rovers or anti-Yeovil songs.... how about singing pro-City songs only instead? I thought the whole point of chanting was to get behind your team and support/encourage them. I'm sure the boys would respond more to a "yeah they're behind us" thought than a "yeah, they're not behind the Rovers" thought!?!?When we play the Gas, then all part of the fun is the banter between fans, and anti-Gas songs work, but i don't feel the same level of passion in the Yeovil rivalry though.(still won't get me singing about promotion though... not just yet!!!)

NiceRed Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I slightly agree United don't sing about leeds every 5 minutes but it seems we keep going on about the gas.If and when we've won about 20 league championships and a couple of Big Cups then maybe we'll stop needing to refer to the Gas (not that I think we do THAT much at the moment). Having said that, Man U do still sing a lot of anti-Liverpool stuff and vice versa. Don't see anything wrong with a few anti-Gas songs to be honest. While we're still in this sh1te league, one of our few "achievements" is being marginally better than the Gas (the JPT this year aside). Not really something to be proud of, but hey, you take what you can get I suppose. Back to Gas fans though, as I said above, the amount of anti-City chants is ridiculous. I would guess about 70% of whatever they sing refers to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Gows' Tash Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 i also agree. I don't give a shit about the gas. don't see the point in singing about them every 5 minutes,There have been quite a few heated debates at the back of the Atyeo about this, with one bloke in particular getting irate when we are playing badly and the singing is about the gas - he shouts at the singers pointing out we should concentrate on supporting our team not singing about what the gas are doing or what we think of trollope. Got to say that as we haven't even been in the same division as them for god knows how long I can't see the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
