Des Lynam irritated by 'Stand up if you hate Palace'

[Sausage]

It is shit. But does not surprise me that, that old fart hates it. Does anyone know why is he is in the directors box every game? Friend of Dick Knight I presume

Des Lynam maybe old and perhaps even a fart but I reckon he's earned his place in a directors box.

It is a dull, dull, dull chant.

Must admit I cringe every time that starts up.

I don't like their cretin supporters that seem to want to gate crash every thread on this site but don't think I actually hate Palace. Love the rivalry though.

 

[Manx Shearwater]

There are two points to singing.

1. To gee up your own team
2. To have some humourous banter with the other side's supporters.

In games where we are not playing Palace (most of them) that chant serves neither purpose. Its pointless.

Its just an excuse to get people on their feet after the stewards make them sit down.

People that bleat about not liking particular songs are losing sight of the main goal a bit i feel(supporting the side). Its a football crowd not a choir.

 

[Double Hard Bastard]

f*** off Des

 

[leigull]

Also fun when we play Millwall or Charlton and the whole ground joins in

Did you not notice him campaigning for us a few years ago, when we most needed it? We would've been sunk without him and a few others keeping our media profile up

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Agree with Des, why are we singing about Palace when we're not playing them. We should be getting behind our team, I'm also annoyed by the west stand/north stand song because of this.

 

[British Bulldog]

It's fine when we're playing Palace but the rest of the time it's pointless.

 

[piersa]

it is a shit, pointless chant and has zero creativity.

 

[aolstudios]

It is POINTLESS at every single game except Palace. The other side's fans don't give a shit, so we're basically just chanting it to ourselves.

This. It's embarrassing. Partly for this reason and secondly as every time I hear it now I think of the last time we played them Maybe in a few weeks it'll feel different?

Good to see Des joining in with the hoards of moaners.

He will fit in well here.

this, that and everything else.

followed by a "We hate palace more than you" chant.

f*** off Des

without him you might not have a club to support, so f*** off yourself

 

[Birdie Boy]

Embarrasing song and I never stand up for it. Unfortunately, if it is sung at Peterborough I won't have a choice as I will already be standing!

 

[public school boy]

Stand up if you hate Des Lynam

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Well said Des, it's total crapola.

 

[NorthStandN1A]

God I remember when it was happening 4 or 5 times a match earlier this season - cringe.
The only time worth singing it is when we play Palace otherwise it is just embarrassing !!!
