I was loving the chants tonight as there were quite alot of funny chants sung tonight towards the Brighton fans and towards the referee sooo would like to congratulate the fans that got them going!

 

Also I thought the referee was a shocker tonight as he missed some key decisions tonight and I thought that he should have given us a penalty first before giving the penalty to Brighton which was fantastically saved by Super KD!

 

Thoughts?!

Thanks!

COYR :D!!

The homophobic songs are so predictable and boring.

 

This.

 

Living in Brighton (obviously cos I'm a big fat gheyer just like all the other 360000 gheys in Brighton lolz1111111111111111111) I know quite a few Seagulls fans and they think the chants are pretty pathetic. They get it everywhere they go so you're not being loltastic when you sing 'does your boyfriend know you're here' at them.

They are really lame. London has a bigger gay population than Brighton but I've never Saints fans singing those chants to Millwall, Charlton or Palace fans.

are they as funny and original as "who" being shouted everytime the away team makes us sub, you were all congratulation yourselves on how hilarious this was a few weeks ago. Being at St Marys is one long lolathon. There is not wit and terrace imagination with the chants these days, just the same bland sterile chants with everyone desperate to sing it as quickly as they can and the 1,000,000 mph clapping drowning out any words.

Every supporter see's the game through his teams tinted glasses. I thought the game was played at such a high tempo and tackles were flying in. Nothing wrong with that, and was a great game of football to watch.

 

Nothing wrong with what there keeper was doing was not time wasting, but playing for time, a huge diffrence. If like any other player he stands with the ball at his feet unchallenged he is not doing anything wrong, and the same for taking his goal kicks from the other size of the 6 yard box. I was supprised though that Brighton seemed hapy with the draw!

I thought that this thread was about banter - meaningless, throwaway, bit of fun football chants, I didn`t realise that it was a thesis on the "gay" demographics of our country.

You can always bank on a few people to take any lightheartedness out any thread.

No it is about the referee and chants. Of which some of the chants SHOULD be big no no these days.

O.K. "No No`s" for what reason? Is for example, the "Does your boyfriend know your here?" a no no because it is "homophobic" or offensive, boring, embarrassing or just not funny? And in whose opinion? Should the song about "shooting the Poopey scum" be dropped for these reasons? Any humour (including terrace humour) is subjective - one mans Michael McIntire is another mans Bernard Manning - but this is just football chanting, which is "banter" between opposing fans and/or the referee, that we are talking about.

I quite agree, the only songs that should be sung at football are ones that are non offensive. "OWTSGMI" should be banned in case it upsets protestants, muslims or jews. "Red and White Army" is out too, has racist overtones and might upset any none white fans as they will feel excluded from the army. "Come on you Reds" Is factually incorrect, we play in Red White and Black, however "come on you red white and blacks" should not be sung in case it offends any none red, white and black fans. (although good to see Gingers with their red faces included in a chant for once) And as for "Rickie Lambert, Southamptons goal machine" He does not stand just over 6ft 3, yes he wears the shirt of Matt Le Tiss, but what about all the other number 7's we have had, how much they feel?and finally and most worryingly, he is quite clearly not a machine and he could be upset that we are comparing him to something that has no feelings or emotions, imply he is cold hearted, or even not a real person. How would you feel if someone accused you o that? NO wonder he has been sh*t this season, i blame the song.

Population of London, 7.5 million. Population of Brighton 150,000. Do you think that there might be a reason why London has more gays than Brighton? I can't think of one off-hand. ;)

If Brighton is full of gays, and they were all at the football.

 

Statistically that means 100% of aways fans are gay.

 

 

Hands up who is going to Hartlepool?

Just responding to the strict logic of your statement - you are wrong - it would only mean that 100% of BRIGHTON away fans were gay. ;)

Tonights 'referee', Mr L. Williamson, ( the berk from Berkshire), was totally effing useless. and 'bottled' all the important decisions, although he was ably assisted by the Itchen-side 'linesman' who had obviously never been taught the Off-side rule, or even what that little flag in his hand was for. Plus, twas he who flagged up the Brighton penalty. Pillock !

Sending them to Scotland for the week-end would be pointless as the Scots would only send then back, though they could keep Andy D'Urso, for free

'Referee to scotland' chant not original and current enough for you?

Am I the only one that still finds them funny? Does that make me homophobic?

 

I think they are harmless fun, unlike racist chants which are offensive and a big no no.

 

The problem with the gay chants isnt that they're offensive, its that they're tired, lazy and totally miss the target. As with Saints fans the large majority of Brighton fans are hetero white men. There are more people of Indian origin in Southampton than gay people in Brighton. Would it be funny if the Brighton fans chanted 'does your Ashram know you're here'? or would you just think 'what the **** are they on about?

I'd find that quite funny actually. how about "leave your prayer mat at the door, did you leave your prayer mat at the door?" or "Came for a curry, we only came for the curry" Now that is terrace wit.

 

On a more serious note though as this thread is getting into the demographics on sexuality and race even though it started out as a light hearted one about terrace chants, Brighton is famous of being the gay capital of England, so not missing the point at all. Is calling Skates A Skate wrong because not everyone in Portsmouth is in the Navy?

Yes, but isn't the point of most chants to wind up the opposition. The fact that most Brighton fans are hetero means that it annoys them all the more.

 

On the subject of chants my favourite was the 'wotsit' one aimed at Dean Lewington from Franchise FC.

Some people just dont get it, we have to accept it.

 

Although the "wotsit" one was s***.

Whatever turns you on mate.

 

Refs always get the blame for other people's troubles but Saints were pretty guilty most of the time things went against them last night; just because we couldn't score and never looked like scoring doesn't make the ref a wonker!

Ive lived in or near Brighton for 20 years and been to a few of their games, so yes I think so. I guess my point is that chants between us and Pompey are funny because they are unique to our rivalry. The Brighton fans hear the gay chants at every single match. To them it neither winds them up nor is funny - its just sounds a bit pathetic - like the bloke who buys life insurance and says to rep when he signs "worth more dead than alive eh lol lol!!" thinking he's being original.
