[Albion] Some chants just aren't used anymore

[Thunder Bolt]

Depends how that chant could be incorporated with a current player, but that was another that I quite liked

It’s Mitoma.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

"We're shit, and we know we are" has been sadly absent recently.

 

[fly high]

Two "olden days" chants that make me cringe whenever the break-out are:

1. Shoreham Road to see the Brighton aces
2. Because of Boxing Day

Please someone make them stop, and while you're at it stop that stupid Caiciedo Abba nonsense.

A more modern one I reckons works is that one to the tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home... "Coz we all follow Brighton n' Hove Albion"

100% agree about the Boxing Day chant, that was 40 odd years ago and I bet most of the people chanting it weren't there, give it up. Yes I was there, fabulous day but enough.

Most clubs’ fans sang that around Christmas time because of Boxing Day derbies. It’s only out of date because we don’t play Palace on Boxing Day anymore, not because of one particular game. The only unique song we have ever had is Sussex by the Sea. Everything else has been derivative. Nothing wrong with that.

It's embarrassing, plain and simple...

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus sat up and he said,...... we hate Palace, oh we hate Palace...

Well, there is that . If that’s the criteria for football songs though then we don’t have much left !

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I was going to announce my presence in the north west family stand next season with a rendition of “My old man said be a palace fan…”

Maybe I’ll wait a few games

I think I remember the first time I heard that. Made me chuckle. Was it just us though or was it lifted from other clubs with just the Palace bit changed ? Maybe ‘I do like to be beside the seaside…blah blah blah…kicking Palace in the sand… could be traced back to us, Southend, Blackpool etc ? Edit; can’t be ours due to the pebbles on Brighton Beach !!

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

I miss:

You are my Brighton
My only Brighton
You make me happy when skies are grey (or blue and white)
You never notice how much I love you
Please don't take my Brighton away
La-la-la-la-la etc (ooh!) etc

I do think that if we are embarrassing @faoileán then everyone who actually turns up in the stands and sings should stop immediately

 

[Eeyore]

At Bournemouth we sung the faster version of Albion, Albion, Albion.

Not heard enough anymore.

I don't go to games, but I do love hearing that. Bring it back please.

 

[Nicks]

"Get that Fuc@ing Board out of the Way " shouted from the North Stand at the beginning of the second half at The Goldstone.

Strongly disagree about Caicedo’s song - it’s great! Mind you I like a lot of ABBA songs too!
Shoreham Road originally used manager’s names didn’t it? I certainly recall Alan Mullery’s Aces but appreciate the name of our team gave it more longevity

My old man said be a palace fan,
I said, 'I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I'd rather not' ?

 

[Eeyore]

'Oh, my, what a referee'

We used to sing that in the Chicken Run.

Them were the days.

Can I ask how they make you 'cringe', cause I think both chants are good chants. Perhaps some fans fail to stay in tune but

Only if you are really delicate honey.

 

[Barham's tash]

Definitely not one for the woke PC brigade these days but given footballer’s penchant for diving and feigning injury I’d welcome back this :-

Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh duh, duh, duh, de, duh DIE!

Followed by:

You’re going home in a Sussex Ambulance!
