“You’re going home in a [insert relevant local health authority] ambulance” always struck me as ill-conceived tbh.
Were an ambulance to take me home, rather than to the nearest A&E, I’d be questioning the competence of the crew.

IMO the only time this is funny is when you're in an obviously & evidently delightful/salubrious/non-shithole environs. E.g. I heard it once at Arundel and really chuckled.
Blackpool fans sung it at Cambridge earlier this season and even they laughed afterwards.

Different day and age and how people are offended for other people.
when my daughter was a mascot at gillingham (against Cardiff) we went into the players bar waiting for the players to come out so she could join them and Peter was sat at the bar in his own. I wandered over and sat chatting with him for a while. I asked him about that Marley chant and he absolutely loved it. someone had sent him at shirt with it on too. He said that at least they were not abusing him.

Away fans signing 'You're only here for the [away team's name], here for the [away team's name]'.
Yeah, that's it mates. That's exactly why we rock up every game. To see the OTHER team

I normally ignore your anti song posts, not because I necessarily disagree but don’t think it brings much to the table, let’s face it, if we ditched every song slagged off on here, we would be in silence.
However, your quote is bang on!
(Also, was it my imagination that at Villa park “we” started singing that fire drill shite about 10 seconds before the final whistle?
)

Lack of bantz like the old days is surely a price of being successful.
I bet if you go to League 1 or League 2 now, the lack of numbers makes it much easier for one person to think up a response which is quite good, belt it out and for it to catch on.

Yeh. I think that one wasn't too bad. The lad had the type of hair which was going to attract a football song or two.
The Oh Peter Smith, he likes a spliff was more problematic.

Agree, they were terrible. Not even drummer boy until 90+ mins.
Then it was just taunts at us "champions league you're having a laugh"
True to be fair!

When you're in the minority, playing in front of a pretty much exclusively white crowd you've arguably little choice but it get on with it. I disagree about different day and age and what people are offended by, or on behalf of another, even back then I felt bad for him and felt his body language was at odds with him 'absolutely loving it,' more he tried to ignore it, he certainly never acknowledged it in any positive way, and what was he going to say to a couple of (white?) fans at Gillingham "I found it quite offensive actually"
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't meant in any offensive way I appreciate, it just felt a bit off.
I have always said that football is 25% sport and 75% panto.
Where have I gone?
I'm behind you!
Your'e gonna get your fuckin' 'ead kicked in?
That sort of thing?
This was quite amusing at the time. It says 'Honey West' on the hand bag. But this was 1967....

There is very very little imagination anymore in UK grounds, pretty much every song is sung by everybody (save for SBTS) - even when you think, Oh that's a new one (which I initially thought about the unfortunate CL one) until you then hear every other club with their variation, nobody seems to be able to come up with something new, I mean how many of our players have a song sung about them during a game nowadays (Mitoma, Welbeck, Solly, Dunk and VanH maybe) We are one step away from being on Centre Court at Wimbledon. "Lets go Brighton, let's go"
Funniest chant I ever heard was when we played Leeds at Elland Road in the '80s.
A very overweight Leeds fan was standing shirtless and on his own, in a no-man's land between us in the away supporters end, and the Leeds fans.
Suddenly, we started chanting "Have you eaten, have you eaten, have you eaten all your mates?"
Even the Leeds fans, stewards and the local police were chuckling at that.

Or in best NS panto chant at Palace or Man U:I have always said that football is 25% sport and 75% panto.
Where have I gone?
I'm behind you!
Where arrrre you?
You’re below us!
Still smile at the disabled fan sitting close to the touchline who offered a Fulham player a crutch after he dived and refused to get up.
