Forrest - Mull of Kintyre

[wehatepalace]

Why do they have this as their song ?
It's a craggy headland in Scotland what's the significance with it and Nottingham ? Or am I missing something ?
As an aside it did sound good with the entire ground belting it out.

 

[Icy Gull]

Can't imagine that dirge ever sounding good. My all time least favourite song

 

[wehatepalace]

Yeah not my favourite either, but the home fans certainly sang it loud and proud, something we could only dream of with GOSBTS.

 

[Titus]

I think it's an advertising jingle from their Irish sponsor. Mulligan's Tyres. (Ducks and runs for cover)

My thoughts exactly, and the only sweaty connection I could think of is their manager is one.

[Notters]

I thought it sounded utterly shithouse as usual.

Didn't go yesterday but went last season.

I was actually embarrassed by this song when the music was playing. However as soon as the music stops and the whole ground is belting it out I put it up there with any song I have ever heard home fans sing. For me better than 'you'll never walk alone' (controversial) and have only heard loader at Stoke when they scored a late one against us in a relegation six pointer.

'Oh mist rolling in from the Trent'. What a load of old crap!

Stoke have Delilah , Forest have Mull Of Kintyre as an afterthought.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I got my imaginary tambourine out & played the superfluous Linda McCartney role when it kicked in.

very much this

It's like they saw other clubs playing "their" tunes & just plucked the first vaguely memorable song that sprung to mind out of the air. Assuming they were playing Sing-Along-McCartney roulette, they're lucky the ball didn't land on the Frog Chorus.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"And it's Hi, Ho, Sheffield Wednesday" is another crap one, not because that line isn't memorable, but because nobody could be arsed to come up with a decent second line. "I see your sun is shining" sounds spectacularly rubbish after that.

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

Its a charlton song. Simple as.

 

[SeagullSongs]

It sounded 'good' in the sense that it was very loud, but what a shite song.

I don't suppose you were stood on the steps in the aisle in the second half were you ?

Yep and Bristol City.

'Mull' was number one for ages when it came out and supporters up & down the country tried to make a chant of it butit just seemed to stick with Forest so has been their antham for many years.
