Re: Canton Stand Last Night

I give up, it's like trying to explain algebra to a cauliflower :hehe:

What are you trying to explain?

It is a thread about non City songs in the Canton Stand.
Go preach to somebody else you melon.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

I thought the boos may have been for the opposition not taking the knee although I could be wrong. We’re there boos on Saturday?

One clown near me shouted get on with the football. FFS can’t they just shut up for 10 seconds that’s all it is.

Yes there was booing on Saturday. Heard loud and clear over the TV...

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

I find it particularly funny that you appear to gauge a person's level of support by the number of years they have been contributing to this board :hehe::hehe: What an idiot. I have been following City since before the internet was invented. You probably stumbled across CCMB one drunken night, when you were at a loose end and decided to try to start winding up and depressing other users with your ‘cutting edge’ analysis of all things City. I refuse to be beaten down by people like you - after all, thats what you want isn’t it. I came on this board to spread a bit of positivity and engage in positive chat with like minded individuals. You and your ‘mates’ obviously don't like it but thats your problem, not mine. There are far more reasonable posters on this board than people like you.

You joined in 2015.

He isn't talking about you is he.. Did you register in 2009 and call him a jack? No you say? Exactly.

What a touchy individual.

So free speech is still allowed then, you just don't like it when people "have meltdowns" i.e disagree (which is their right because of....free speech)

Facking hell there's a few on here that have forgotten being an adolescent.
You sound like your parents 40 odd years ago.
I thought the Canton made a good noise last night.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

Madness.

While not being too long ago though it seemed a simpler time back then. I certainly enjoyed the football a bit more.

We drew that game 3-3. We should have had a penalty at the end. Think it might have been Koumas brought down but the ref bottled it.

The ref who bottled it that night in 2006 was Andy Woolmer.

He is the referee for our game at Bloomfield Rd this weekend v Blackpool.

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

Tim, I raise you with;
‘His Name Is Jimmy Scoular’
‘Bless ‘Em All’
‘Knees Up Brian Clark’
Sha La La La La Leslie Lea’
‘Freddie’s In Our Goal, Peter’s On The Wing.......’
‘Oh When The Blues Go Marching In’
‘We’re The Grange End, We’re The Grange End’
‘We Hate Nottingham Forest, We Hate Liverpool too.....’
‘Bring Down Sunderland & Arsenal’
‘Toshack Ooh Ooh’

There must be more but that’s off the top of my head, all songs that mentioned The City or our players, they diluted any of the other type songs of the time. The variation was very good, nothing like that from our lot today and as I say, we’ve tried to introduce new stuff at away games in the recent past but, no, they don’t want to know.

I think there’s a bit of rise tinted specs there Steve.

There was a hell of a lot worse in the 70s and 80s than putting a sick twist on the Jacks egg chasing song.

I’m certainly talking more about the 80s that the 70s and 60s - when all the songs you’ve mentioned above had petered out, but I’m sure similar stuff went on then as the 70s were just as bad as the 80s for what went on.

When we watch ‘It was OK in the 80s my kids can’t believe what we thought was acceptable/ funny then .

The kids in the Canton made a good deal of noise last night - and unlike the vast majority of our fans they turned up.

They are also the only ones who sing. The rest of the ground are quiet and will often look at you a bit weird if you have a go.

Some of the songs are crap, agreed .. although taking the piss out of the English in the Euros is childish but still funny.. as they would certainly have been letting us know has they won.

It’s still preferable to a morgue of a ground which is what it would be without them

Re: Canton Stand Last Night

What really gets me, now that I'm older, is the fact we were chanting for Morrison (an Englishman) to do the ayatollah and then two seconds after singing "England ****ed it up".

I tend to cringe at most of the chants nowadays

8 English players started. 3 on the bench on Saturday.

maybe the players just accept it as football " banter " and dont take it too serious, I am sure they must know what to expect when they sign for us

I doubt they're bothered, I'm not sure that's what he was getting at either tbh.

They probably do mate, not sure it helps our cause though. The Barnsley goalkeeper seemed intent on making a point of celebrating in front of the Canton. Could it spur the away players on and take that 1 or 2 % away from our players........................I'm massively overthinking this aren't I? 🤣

I would honestly prefer a morgue of a ground than listen to that disgusting paedophile song, the singers of that should be ejected. It shouldn’t be a case of all noise is good noise. We’ve both mentioned the past, ok, we had some shockers then but they were diluted by a vast array of team and player supporting songs. I’ve named ten off the top of my head, all relevant to their time, Can ten be named now relevant to current players? I’m bemoaning the originality of our youth, it’s pathetic and a poor state of affairs that the majority of the noise made from the Canton is anti this and anti that rather than pro Cardiff City. Song and chants about individual players would lift them you’d think, I’m not sure singing about Swansea slums does. As I’ve mentioned a few of us have ‘trialled’ a few new ditties at away games a few seasons back but ‘England is full of shit’ continued to rule the day. Would be great to have a few bright young fans banding together and producing a few originals, I’m sure we’ve got lads who are capable.
