song for the sash


dune

Recommended Posts

I thought there was a song called The Sash anyway?

 

It is old but it is beautiful, and its colours they are fine

It was worn at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne.

My father wore it as a youth in bygone days of yore,

And it's on the Twelfth I love to wear the sash my father wore.

 

Hmmmmm, rather an orangey flavour to that.

What tune does it go to if any?

That is ****ing brilliant. Everything about it is me.

 

I'm pretty sure that the Rangers fans are no longer allowed to sing it because of the anti Irish/Catholic nature of it ! They did have slightly different (and more abusive) lyrics, mind !

To the harry and jim song (which i like)

 

We are the sash we are the sash, **** the football we're gonna get mashed.

 

Tom Hark (or the 'Harry and Jim' song as you call it) brings back too painful a memory and is well and truly banned in my head !

I have always been a Catholic but from very early days I followed the Teddy Bears because I opted for the underdogs. (Chelsea in the 67 F.A. Cup final etc.). My school chums, as I got older, could not understand. I heard the sash a few times on my trips to Ibrox and felt that I didn't like the references to being 'up to our knees in fenian blood' as it was tasteless.

 

There is a good programme about the football bigotry, spread over 3 or so parts, on Youtube.

"Our shirt's got a sash, your shirt's ****ing gash, our shirt's got a stripe, your shirt's ****ing tripe."

 

"Our sash, on the middle of our chest." (Damn you Madness with your catchy tunes...)

 

Does this go the the tune this badge is your badge what Fc united sing. I think the real song is This land is your land.

How about no?

 

I'll be damned if I sing any orange songs however altered the lyrics.

Here's the adjusted version of last season's away day favourite:

The saviour Marcus Liebherr went to Rome to see the Pope x3

And this is what he said

Who's that team they call Southampton

Who's that team we all adore

They're the boys wearing the sash

Pompey are a load of gash

And Harry Redknapp's mother is a whore

You could be onto something here, but I really don't think mentioning Pompey fits with it.

I'm still trying to work out why Mr Liebherr would be going to "Rome to see the Pope"?

 

Protestant Rangers fans sing something similar deriding their catholic rivals, it certainly made no sense Saints fans singing it last season. OK this season we'll be wearing the sash but...

 

I can remember Arsenal fans singing (to the tune of BAs advert at the time) to Spurs Steve Archibald..."You're just a Scottish Jew (because a: he was Scottish, b: Spurs Jewish associations) Archibald, Archibald", shortly after we played (and beat) Liverpool at Anfield and a number of Saints fans started singing at Dalglish..."You're just a Scottish Jew........"

 

Some fans just don't get it.
