Gosbts

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Oh dear god - I thought that when we sung GOSBTS was the only time we were united in one true voice as unified fans of the mighty blue and white - but alas my dream is shattered - we're a devided group of arguementatives all the time

no we're not

 

[Dave the OAP]

its still going.

 

[Everest]

its still going.

No it's not

 

[Superphil]

If we all sang the proper words would this thread end?

 

[Everest]

If we all sang the proper words, would this thread have started?

 

[Braders]

if 1066s mum had crossed her legs, would this thread have been thought of at all?

 

[Da Man Clay]

If we all sang the proper words would we have won the cup final?

Slightly OT, but in the Blaydon Races song is it "Going down the Shoreham Road" or "Going down Old Shoreham Road". Diff versions on Tim Carders site and Wikipedia. I always sing "the" is that wrong? Pedants debate...

i always sing THE but what is it at the start of the song? i've always just guessed at "oh, lads," but is it correct? please someone tell me the answer to my issues, this is just one of many.

i can't believe what i've just read there

where was the Goldstone sited?

was it "Shoreham Road" or might it have actually been "Old Shoreham Road"...? singing about "The" Shoreham Road would make us sound like everyone else's version of that song including Palace's

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I see.

So, about every four years then?

Do you mean like the World Cup or European Championship?

I have to agree with MG!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I thought it meant going up as in driving up to Wembley to win the cup? But hey, I'm a girl so I am most certainly wrong...

You sure are. It's been Cardiff for years now.

 

[Kent Seagull]

Never mind Norman Wisdom the version we sing should be:

"Going up AND WE'LL win the Cup" not "TO win the Cup" which only made sense when we were playing Man Utd at Wembley in 1983. Anybody who still sings "Going up to win the Cup" in 2006 is a thick, ignorant, straw-brained dullard.

..... and relax.


(I may have mentioned this before .....)

and I may have agreed with this in the past!!

 

[Brovion]

Ah Kenty me old mate, I could have done with you yesterday! Fighting a losing battle I'm afraid with a load of youngsters! Kids of today eh?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

"Cup" isn't specific - it could mean any trophy in that context.

And we're going up to win a trophy for Sussex By The Sea, just doesn't have that uumphh I am affraid Mark.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Ah Kenty me old mate, I could have done with you yesterday! Fighting a losing battle I'm afraid with a load of youngsters! Kids of today eh?

you could start a campaign for a Singing "And We'll" Section at Falmer and offer instruction classes for the under 50s...

And so you are in agreement with me Kev?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

And so you are in agreement with me Kev?

Yes......Yes I am.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Can we have special permission to sing our version at Lords on Saturday?
