No wins in 3 games, Ronnie O. is out, football lines, no beer in Dragon Stadium. The Suck Factor is pretty high so far this season. What I need is a good, old fashioned, loud and successful DALLAS - BURN chant to rock the Dragon. It was my favorite part of attending games at the Cotton Bowl, next to beer. Here's my suggestion. Starting with the KC game this Saturday let's do this at the 20 min, 40 min, 60 min & 80 min mark. Easy to remember: 20, 40, 60, 80. Stop the drums and the entire Inferno will yell "Dallas" hopefully joined by other GA attendees. We need guys & gals who post on this board and who sit in the N & S Reserved sides to answer "BURN" Encourage all the kids and soccer moms to join in. It's fun and there's no profanity! It's time we rock this brown turd of a stadium! Tell your friends - 20, 40, 60 & 80, General Admission "DALLAS!" North & South reserved "BURN!" Reserved side ticket holders help us out!!!
I'm glad somebody brought that up. That was always the most successful chant at the Cotton Bowl. Next time I take my place in the South Library I'll help, but won't be there for the KC game. (In a stunning show of prognostication my next ticket in my 6-pack is DC; As it turns out that's the one I really want to be at X-)
I think Viking came up with this chant. Dema, Dema, Dema Kovalenko! Do ya, do ya, do ya want your leg broke!
Sorry to bump my own spew, but... Are any Reserve Siders down with this? We'll need your help to make it work. And do any Inferno members have anything to add to improve this plan? Remember: 20, 40, 60, 80! Dallas! Burn!
I'm down with it, but assuming it gets going, it might not have the same staying power as if the South did Dallas and the North did Burn or the other way around. How about two signs "Dallas" and "Burn" on each side of the gen admission bleachers. You guys can get it started and the sheep will follow -- it will spread around the stands. Anyway, I'll get my guys into it no matter how we do it. ON another low level, I would just be pleased with a nice musical nah nah nah nah, hey ey ey, goodbye... when someone get's sent off from the other team, but I've never heard that. I would think its the most obvious chant in the world. Perhaps too obvious....
After all my talk of a chant I couldn't get a "get out of jail free" card to make it to the game; Mother's Day weekend, wife, three kids, etc... Did anyone try it?
Well the kids on the south side started a nice "lets use the fact that this section is made of metal to our advantage" as they all started banging their feet into the ground making a load thundering sounds. well played, still too many kids in that damn place.
This may be a bit off topic, but it's related. At the qualifying game between Mexico and the US in Columbus, I sat next to a couple of German fans who were travelling through the US and stopped to see the game. At each dangerous free-kick and corner-kick, they would raise their arms and hands in front and begin to wiggle their fingers as if they were about to cast a magic spell. At the same time, wiggling their fingers, with their voices lowered and slowly gaining strength they said gooooooooooooooo.... and ended up ....OOOAAAALLLL as the shot was made. The trick was in trying to do the whole routine in one breath, beginning when the the player lined up for the kick and leading up to when the kick was made. I joined the German fans for all the US kicks and have taught my little brothers and some drunk fans to do the same same at Burn games and National team games since then. (Or was I the drunk fan?) It sounds pretty corny, but it's always fun to do, and when that ball goes in! Well, it's the least I can do as a fan. ;-) I've always though it would be pretty impressive if whole swaths of Burn fans were willing the ball into the net with this "chant." You'll see me with my little bro's doing the "chant" at the next game we catch. It would be great if others joined us. Back to the topic at hand, is the plastic rats and Kovalenko plan still on?
But at least he's not one of those annoying rug rats who can't sit still during a game. I wonder why some of these families bother attending Burn games since the parents don't even pay attention to the match and their kids run around the stadium like its a playground.
18, thanks, when I can go die for my country among other things than drink, I don't consider myself a kid. But I meant... and then their jack ass dads tell me not to say "suck", thats when it pisses me off.
I know - I was talking as much about how old I am (35) as I was my defintion of a kid. Those people are weenies. I took my 5 year old to the game and we stood with the Inferno and my kid loved it. Course he also liked hitting me and his mom in the head with a thunder stick. I won't take him with me to the DC game though. The Kovalenko epithets could get ugly. Warn the library folks.
As long as you keep wearing the ROB jersey and don't adorn a "I Love Dema" shirt, you'll be joyously welcomed by the Inferno.
yea I know, sorry, I still am a kid to the majority of the hardcore fans, but thats just something I've always hated being called.
The ROB jersey stays on - but if we had a "Petke Must Die" sign going last year, what possibly could Dema warrant. Anything Petke may have done pales under the light of day what that wormtongue, rat bastard Kovalenko has committed. Plus Petke is actually a nice guy. I suspect Kovalenko shoved his mother down the stairs when she made him eat his vegetables.
Man, be glad you didn't talk to him after the game with me. To see him with his leg immobilized is gut wrenching. Irish poetry has been tarnished by a Ukranian rat.
Petke Yeah, Petke actually is a good guy. We gave him a hard time over the last few years, but he was a sport and took the heckling with a sense of humor. Now Dema, that's another story. I won't insult wildlife in general by calling him an animal. He's below that.
