love both suggestions of ohhhh 16 years no cups! and the proposed ohhh union! clap clap last night at the usoc, the ohhhh skeet skeet skeet caught on pretty well throughout the 30 of us that were there. its silly, but worked ha
We ran into the problem before where as soon as you start with the OOOOOHHH, people are in YSA mode and won't hear anything after that. I don't know how to change that.
That's one of the big problems with replacing it with another shout that stops right away (like "You suck, Bouna!"). If some people are doing that, and some people are doing YSA, it's going to sound either like YSA or like a muddle, and people who want to join in won't be able to. One of the benefits of a repeating chant, besides lasting longer, is that as soon as YSA ends, it's the only thing people will hear. So if they were wondering what we were chanting, they'll know, and hopefully they'll be able to join in next time.
I hate to say it but YSA wont die. There will still be those who will do it and Its the chant that has caught on best with the rest of the stadium...Instead of trying many different things either keep it at YSA or "Red Bull Sucks" or something of that Ilk. Even though it is not original, I am proud of our YSA as we do it better than anyone else. Take pride in that
I know the Reading United bus trips love the chant. Everyone still giggles like little girls when they hear it!
Quoted for Truthiness. You can't replace YSA with any other chant that leads up with an 'oooohh' or any other sort of sustained lead in like that. If you do then half of the people in the River End are going to think that we're about to say "YSA" so that's what they'll do. Then even if you manage to overcome that, the casual fans in the rest of the stadium will still think that they heard "YSA", even though we said something different (see the profanity laden 'Come on the U' as exhibit A). So as much as a like: "ooooooooohhhh your socks have holes!" or "ooooooooohhhh stop! Hammer time" or "ooooooooohhhhh skeet skeet skeet" They all fall into the same trap. If you want to get away from YSA then you have to get fah fah away. If we want to be unique, then why not just cheer FOR our goal kicks, and leave theirs alone. I've always felt like the build up of noise probably helps the keeper anyway. I'm sure by the time they're seasoned pro's they've heard it so often that they probably use it to pump themselves up.
What about just booing the sh!t out of opponents' goal kicks? You could easily get 18,000 people to do that.
Could we get the opposing keeper to dress up like Santa Claus so that we have the stereotypical visual cue as well?
how about for our goal kicks, we do ohhhhhhhhh skeet skeet skeet and for their goal kicks we still do YSA
Im watching the game again and there was a very loud YSA early in the game that I dont remember happening
honestly there were only a couple. A large group in 136 did the YSA, which resulted in a few fingers given from 137.
we were YSA'ing all night. goal kicks, corner kicks, free kicks. we were throwing it up like it was going out of style, something that will probably continue to happen. also had a few you suck asshole *clap clap, clap clap clap*s going. it was just a night of YSA, and for redbull... why the hell not
Is anyone really surprised that the ZOLO chant did not take? I thought we agreed last year that that chant Suced?
