1970s Cardiff City chants - what's your team's?

[editor]

[/i]there are many times you've posted stuff without having been at the site of the topick of discussion. i don't think that necessarily hinders one - and it certainly doesn't stop one holding a perfectly valid opinion.

Yeah, but you really haven't got the slightest clue about this one, as has been evidenced by your posts thus far.

I suggest you leave the thread to save further embarassment. Some people here know what they're talking about.

repeating an allegation does not increase its veracity.

i'm off now, but only because it is increasingly dull discussing something with you where you claim to be the fount of all knowledge and damn everyone else because they won't kowtow to your version of events.

oh - and that "some people..." - good use of that "how to win an internet argument" bit, something you've pulled people up for in the past. sad to see you resorting to the same thing i've seen you previously condemn.

are you fuckwitted?

i said i neither knew nor cared about the quality of the book as i was only interested in the information in the review, which clearly states that the soul crew have been about since the late 70s, and the information there is not qualified with "as it says in the book" or "according to the authors".

now, either shut up about the book or post something rebutting the claims in the review.

You wouldnt expect a review on a hoolie site of a hoolie book to say that it was all a load of glorified bollox would you,because in all honesty a ,lot of the hoolie books are excatly that.sure they are a great read for anyone involved but they self perpetuate the myth that football is all about hoolies. If you took every incident in every hoolie book at face value it would be hard to work out how any football got played or how cicil order was maintained by our relatively small police force!

Phew. At last.

Right, shall we get back on topic?

Let's hear some of your 70s chants!

That Soul Crew book contains barely more than endless variants on two themes:

1. "It was a good fight and we fucking had them, but we were all mates afterwards."

2. "It was a brave fight and they only beat us because there was more of them. Had the full Soul Crew been there we would have fucking had them and all been mates afterwards, respect to the boys, beer, trains, Pringle etc etc"

I thought you'd gone?

 

[RubberBuccaneer]

If I may add the Soul Crew weren't formed til 1982.

I'm not sue what Pickmans point is...

Yes we sang those songs as kids

Yes it was exciting being young and geed up

No it's not something we'd do now we're grown up

Yes we accept these songs were bullshit even at the time...do you think the Chelsea masses quaked at the Buccaneer singing ' you'll never reach the station', especially as it was me doing the plumbing after the game

Are you fuckwitted? To use your oh so elegant turn of phrase.

You quoted a review,NOT facts.Merely an opinion about a boook. Read the book yeself and then you will realise that it is basically a glorification of some pretty unmemorable incidents,unmemeorable to all except a couple of "boys" who fancied there fifteen minutes of fame.In all honesty those that were involved in serious criminal offences would hardly write a book about it would they?

 

[editor]

Yep. It says that in the book (that Pickman's hasn't read).

This is going to go the way of the last football chants thread isn't it

Hows about that for some mystic meg action

 

[tbaldwin]

I recall chanting 'Spurs are on their way to Auschwitz' as a 15 year old along with hundreds of others...not because I celebrated the gassing of Jews, but because it was banter, and it's what you do on the terraces.

I remember this being popular with Chelsea fans .. A lot of Football chants are preety sick humour. And it continues with chants of Turkey and Hillsboro at Leeds and Liverpool.
Interesting to know from the Ed if Cardiff made Turkey taunts at Leeds last year.
I personally found the anti Jewish songs a lot more worrying at Chelsea because the NF were geting quite a lot of support. But most of that Racism i would say was fairly shallow in reality. A bit like the radicalism of a lot of trendy lefties. Most people really are not that committed and just go along with whatever is fashionable with their friends..

Erm, the Editor wasn't at Leeds last season, but I was (hi Dread). We didn't sing about Turkey. Nor did we at the home game, or at the FA Cup game when we beat them 2-1 Scott Young, There'e Only One Scott Young.

Also in one of the biggest nights of violence at Ninian in years, Swnasea at home in '94 (was it '94? Fuck my life is passing, man. We won 1-0, Garry Thompson 72 mins) me and him were selling Bluebird Jones on Sloper Road when the Swansea special pulled in and their boys came down the road. I can confirm me and him did a swift walk in the opposite direction with only a muttered "fucking hell" between us

Anyone who sings Aberfan is a cunt, by the way

Anyway, Koumas a good signing or what, boys?

Yeah, but we could have taken them all on between us, couldn't we? Easy!

Err....um....

Apparently after the Batsford Boys had burnt down one of the Wealdstone stands, (don't worry no one hurt) in the mid 70's the following was heard on the West Bank the following Saturday..

Ellesmere End is burning down, burning down
Poor old Wealdstone..

We are playing Wealdstone for the first time in a competitive match since next season, hope they don't have long memories.

 

[phildwyer]

Should be, I've only ever seen him play for Wales, but he did well then. Seems like he has a point to make too, so he should try harder than usual. I'd rather have Earnie though...

 

[RubberBuccaneer]

Is Placid Casual the bloke who was arrested for impersonating a sheep?

 

[editor]

Wasn't there a song about Cardiff fans dismantling Portsmouth clock?

Best memory of that game is 20,00 Cardiff fans singing, "Woooaahhhh Lee Bowyer,I wannna knowowowowow why ya not in gaol."
