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

Des: 'Nothing irritates me more at home Albion matches than having to listen to that banal chant of "Stand up if you hate Palace"

We have wonderful supporters - the best in the country in my opinion bearing in mind what we have all been through in recent years.

We should show how sporting we are'

Let's kick that dreadful chant into touch

It'll be down to him being too old & creaky to stand up & join in. I should know, I'm well on the way meself tbh.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Quite agree with him.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It is a dull, dull, dull chant.

 

[drew]

Let's be honest, it's pretty much only the north stand that stand up anyway.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

IMO the only time it really gets sung is when the stewards tell everyone to sit down

 

[middletoenail]

I agree, its ridiculous, but it's repeated across the whole country so I don't expect it to stop anytime soon.

 

[Albumen]

Stand up if you love Brighton

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

It's Shit. Well said Desmond...

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Stand up if you hate Palace and Albion Albion drone are the two chants (hardly call them songs) I will not join in with. I can't be arsed to stand up on cue and I want to slit my wrists with Albion Albion... so a thumbs up to Desla...

Des is 100% right. I have never joined in with the chant and never will. It is childish, pathetic and embarrassing.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Its a shit chant but It only really gets sung when we get told to sit down.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Stand up if you love Brighton

This!

 

[Springal]

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

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Nothing like a miserable old git telling other people what is best for them.

Des must be a great laugh at the Christmas Panto... "Don't boo the villain, it's banal..."

Innit. Boring chant.

I've not heard the NSK try to get any of the old traditional songs going (Brighton Aces, Away in a Manger) properly. These would get the boys in the West Stand going and create a proper atmosphere IMO.

 

[leigull]

It's only funny at away games when stewards have just managed to get all the fans to sit down, only for someone to pipe up "stand up if you hate palace" and the whole section rises to their feet again.

Tis pretty rubbish at the Amex though

 

[Mellotron]

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.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

This!

That.
