And They Were Singing .

Re: And They Were Singing …….

Agreed on the players. Unless I've missed it on here, I've not seen any reference to Obafemi. It's obviously happened a few times but it constantly amazes me. There are many words to describe what he did, with immature and pathetic being two. I don't like the "vile chant" either but that's a section of the supporters. In no way can you level that at our players. On the other hand, Swansea's players - the vast majority of which won't even have been aware of the tale before joining the club - doing it is scraping the barrel.

What have I levelled at our players?

From where I was sitting “it sounded as if” it certainly wasn’t a minority and was loud and clear !

You are right. Of course they did (it was one of the only songs that anyone DID sing, and that was just to drown out the JB's I think.....:shrug:)

But on this.....what WAS interesting (and quite refreshing actually) was that at the Wales vs Austria game, the crowd DID sing the correct version of 'Hymns and Arias', which was pleasing to see and hear (I don't think that my boys have ever heard the proper version before......)

It was horrible to hear.

Nothing. I was agreeing with you. Just saying that their players do something that's bang out of order, whereas ours don't.

Agreed, very loud in the Canton sadly

It was pretty evident in the Family Stand too, unfortunately.

Why is that interesting? Surely you wouldn't expect the crowd at a Wales game to sing the other version?

Re: And They Were Singing …….

Lots of gas a jack around as well, and the horse song. Lots of dickheads out on Saturday, or lots of people showing their true dickhead colours, or a combination of both

I thought that, there were loads of bellends I'd never seen before in the Ninian stand near me. Four of them,who were directly behind me, sadly sang it many times during the game. A lot of these aforementioned knobs seemed wired as well.

There were a great deal of one day wonders on Saturday. It reminded me of your average away day as thankfully in my usual seat you don’t get many oiks around.

We have our fair share of idiots, many of whom I'm sure were at the Wales vs Austria game.

I was surprised that some of them didn't sing the stupid version (or maybe they did but they were drowned out)

You clearly don't remember the ridiculous days of a divided Wales fanbase along the lines of club loyalty. :shrug:

I would hope that fans came together as the Red Wall. Wales doesn't need any return to tribalism when we play.

Re: And They Were Singing …….

The swimaway by fans doesn't really bother me. I think their players continually doing it and the club not saying anything is worse.

Wouldn't surprise me if they're told to do it tbh, ensures instant cult status for whoever does it

Re: And They Were Singing …….

Old fella in front of me in block 114 ain’t said a word all season, but boy was he belting this out on Saturday.. bizarre.
Did see a small inflatable horse been blown up too in concourse but not sure if it made it out to the stand (not by the old fella I must add)
