PA Systems and Goal Music

[Easy 10]

You're a parent, aren't you, Easy. That falls into the pantheon of 'The Empty Threat'. Another fine example is 'If you don't go to sleep you will NOT be going on holiday to Corfu tomorrow!'

Its a fair cop.
But I would be hitting the club with a strongly worded letter and an intensely prolongued leaflet campaign.

I hadn't really noticed 'goal music' until that Norwich match the other night. I wouldn't have really minded, but it was the SAME tune 6 (six) times. Very robotic, false and forced reactions from the Norwich supporters. I thought that they might be a bit more real than that, supporting a lower league club. Sniff.

Can you imagine the Robbie Reinult goal or the Virgo goal against Swindon followed immediately by some James Brown or Lady Gaga?

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

When i think of all the goals both important and inconsequential, I remember the atmosphere, noise and joy created by the fans being far more enjoyable!

A few years back in a Euro Chumps League match in Turkey... think it was Fernabache v Chelsea, they went one better and had the PA guy commentating and stoking up the crowd during the match!! Ref had to tell someone to tell him to shut the f*ck up... I thought it was well funny.

It's one of the things that puts me off 20/20 cricket. 'I Got You (I Feel Good)' by James Brown playing every time they hit a four ffs.

Albion vs Doncaster/Darlington? on boxing day (?) at Gillingham during a 4-4, had either Paul Samrah or Atilla doing that too

I enjoy it at the Twenty20 cricket, wouldn't want it at the AMEX though.

And what are the parameters for it ? If you're getting tonked 3-0 or 4-0 at home but scramble back a meaningless consolation goal in injury time, do they STILL turn on the disco ?

We should ask the Palace fans.

I remember the 7.1 win away at Chester when Bobby was only on loan & bagged a hatrick. When Chester finally scored, they played Blur at full volume, although it was drowned out by our cheering!

why should music drown out the noise of the crowd!
goal music is just annoying
stick to the roar of the fans

they do that in Italy...the bloke at Napoli used to start the songs off.

Indeed... but BOOING loudly when it is played was very successful within the rugby fraternity.

It lasted all of one game at Kingsholm before the public OUTCRY from the Shed put a stop to it.

it was against Colchester - I think Paul Emblem scored a hat-rick that day. I also believe Atilla got in trouble for playing Anarchy in the UK at half-time which apparently was banned from all football grounds on police advice some years earlier.

You may enjoy it....its precisely why I won't go anywhere near a Twenty20 .....horrible, cheap, trashy watered down imitation of a beautiful game..enjoyed by many without the time, patience, knowledge and intelligence to understand the intricacies and depth of a proper game of cricket.
...and playing music!!!!!...ffs....you can stick it where the sun don't shine.

This...the worst is the Tom Hark theme with it's "Up Yours" Na Na Na NA !

It's to keep you awake, innit?
