well if you dislike it give us a new one im open to change. pref one thats more offensive then you suck asshole
What exactly is the point of going out of our way to be offensive? I have no probably with the profanity if its clever, but having it be the objective seems pretty immature.
I'll admit that I enjoy it. While it may lack originality, it can be fun. Also, if the concern is that "every other supporters club does it," then we need to get rid of "We Love You" too.
how about "Yooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr mother is a disease ridden whore!" would that work? i never understood this one for home games.
I'm waiting for one of the goalies to stop on his run up to kick the ball to throw the River End off.
I think the Zulu style Zolo which was coming through loud and clear on a couple of free kicks would work well for the kickoffs, even better if it was more of a chant - might throw the timing off.
The Dale Oh chant was a cluster fook in 135. I was watching for the hands being raised in 136 and 137 to get in sync but people don't know the Dale part of the song. So they sort of kept saying Philadelphia way too many times and not in a crescendo.
We could always just condense it to "Ooooooohhh....********!", taking out the overt bad language and replacing it with something that gets the message across a little more stealthily Like. Would sound pretty cool with everyone together.
screw it. we should just go all in and change it to "ooooooooohhhhhhhhh! you suck, you, fcuking c**t!!!"
I wasn't a huge fan of it, but I agree that I still smile and laugh every time it happens. We have lots of original chants and will continue to have more, but there is something to be said for the ones that are easy and really get everyone into it. For example, the view from my seats at the top during the "woah woah woah!" part of "We Love ya, We love ya!", when everyone swings their scarves and jumps up and down, is just ridiculously awesome. And that's cause it's easy and everyone knows to just jump up and down and yell. Also remember that the only people that even realize that a chant is "overused" are the other supporters who actually pay attention to that stuff in other stadiums. 16,000 other people in PPL and all the people on TV just think it's funny (or crude) and VERY LOUD. So my vote is to keep it and fully embrace its stupidity, childishness and overall awesomeness.
agree for 139 we had 3 capos on sat and you could see they were having a hard time picking up 137 from the front of the section though we have our own upper mid section group whose chants get picked up and spread through 139 and 140 getting better though each week dale oh never gets over here very coherently and you could see the fist pumps for jersey shore but i it didn't get picked up i think it is just a sound thing the sound just goes straight to the field not to the sides we need to pick up the chants from 138 better i guess
I voted like it. I don't have a problem with the language, but I would prefer something more original. Good enough for now. If you have a problem with the word asshole, you probably haven't been to another Philly sports event. It's been a chant here at least since I was a kid (I'm sure before, but I can't remember anything before I was a kid). I don't see what all the fuss is about all the sudden. Was soccer supposed to be the sport for wholesome fans?
Some people do think soccer is only supposed to be for little kids and wholesome families, and they're the ones causing the most fuss. I'm with you (and others) who don't love this chant, but it's okay. I don't care about the language aspect, just that it is overused. I'm not sure it really has the desired effect of shaking up the keeper. I did have to laugh, though, when I saw someone on Facebook say his 8-year-old son yells, "Union gets goals!"
The language isn't an issue at all for me, I just think it's just a bit weak. We have a mix of original, standard club, international (USMNT) and old-school chants. I hadn't heard "she fell over" since I used to watch Reading at the old Elm Park years ago, but that one still hits the spot. The mainstay goalkeeping chant in England used to be "OooooooOOOHHH....you're shit, aaaaahhhhhh", which I think has a bit more bite than the "asshole" one, while still being amusing and reasonably inoffensive. Ultimately though, it's one of the few chants that everyone in the stadium seems to get behind, and as such I can't decry it too much.
Exactly. I would welcome an alternative, but I can't say that I don't scream it, either, along with pretty much everyone else.
I could give or take it. I like it because using loud profanity in public is fun. I don't like it because it does lack originality. I would be happy chanting ******** you (fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yoooooooou, fuuuuuuuuuuuck you.....) at the goalie until he kicks the goal kick.
I sit in section 109 and you can hear it loud and clear (good job). It does not seem to bother anyone around me, it does get a few chuckles.
as much as it is a rip off, it doesn't grate me like the "Frosted Flakes" chant. Plus we pretty much sound the best because it comes so natural.... maybe we should add a big "pooooonto! You Fat Bastard!!" after the Y.S.A. and cover everybody's goal kick chant....
I tried to sync up to the other sections too but i kept hearing someone say Dale way too many times and it really threw me off......lol
Exactly. I'm fine with curses (although I find them to be unnecessary), but the chant is just so lame and unimaginative. Can't we come up with something better?
