Anyone else hate the England band?

[JBizzle]

Just reminds me of poor performances in previous tournaments. New regime, same shit, hired by the FA band

 

[RM-Taylor]

Well one minute or so in to the game, the England fans were singing "Norway's a shithole, I wanna go home"

 

[ExmouthExile]

The band should be banned - they're a bloody embarrassment!

 

[Stat Brother]

Saves me starting the :-

England ban....fcuk off NOW, thread.

 

[Titanic]

Why are they playing that one off of the fence paint advert??

 

[amexee]

As bad as f..ing drum. tinpot

And just coz you know the words morons, you don't have to sing them. Norway, one of the cleanest, crime free places in the world, you ignorant twats.

Should be singing "I'm a bigoted twat and should be sent home"

 

[Gazwag]

Hate the band but I thought they were singing Norway's expensive not shithole

 

[ifuhatepalacestandup]

band now playing a tune there isnt a song to so no crowd noise

 

[Potters mate]

They really didnt bother me until i watched the documentary on them a few years back. What a bunch of jumped up ars*holes they came across as, deluded that they are important to the team, curfews etc. the lack of songs is shocking as well, whats that sound? oh its the great escape being played for the 50th time and its still 10 mins to kick off. Awesome.

 

[magoo]

Mind numbing, uninspiring drone. Get rid!

 

[guster]

I'd love to see a rival band start playing new songs continuously and not give a chance to the current band to play their rubbish.

 

[albie_noobs]

Did you hear 'God save the Queen' on the trumpet just now, ffs sounded like someone had shoved it up his arse!!

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Can't knock'em personally at least they are trying to create an atmosphere.

you lot are a bit grumpy tonight.

If that was the case, I owe them an apology, coz that's quite funny

Pretty sure the words were not this.

Something like the England cricket fans song of bring the urn home (obv not the same words)

[kalinski]

Can't stand the England band...kills all the spontaneity of crowd singing...I know time for great escape...again


Must point out that when they did strike up TGE both my children asked why they were playing Brighton's song...

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

hate them with a passion and i WONT go to an england game ever again because of the fuckers

 

[forrest]

Liked them at first. they now piss me off

 

[Weststander]

Did it all start in the early 1990's, and did it comprise Sheff Weds fans originally?

I didn't mind it, but home and away, those tunes seemed to have replaced singing thesedays!

The 70's and 80's (and before probably) had England games with an electric atmosphere e.g. as a kid going to Wembley with the schools, and 90,000 to 100,000 singing England songs. Seems to have died, whereas Club football often still passionate.

They were singing "Norway's expensive, I wanna go home". £8 for half a pint apparently.
