Genk Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 As I have commented elsewhere. This is an adaptation of a GOLFING Chant.

Shock horror, people who had probably had a lot to drink joining in with a bit of a laugh. I agree with the fact that it was just stupid when they started shouting every players name, but in all honesty I don't care enough to get worked up about it in the slightest. If it wasn't for this and other threads I'd probably have forgotten all about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry it offended you and your desire for football to be exactly like it was 25 years ago, but I enjoyed it, and should we start playing keepball and taking the **** in another match I hope we do it again.

eelpie Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 I was quite close to the pitch in the Itchen and at first the chant was funny, but clearly you could plainly see that it did make him self conscious and contributed to mistakes. He is labelled as impact sub, has bags of talent and commitment, but the chant doesn't help him or us. He needs to settle into the team. Daft chant, so cut it out.

Matty's Caddy Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 I think it sounded more like a **** take and definitely put him off his game a bit. Nothing wrong with chanting his name after some good play but just before or as he gets on the ball I think does him no favours at all. I was stood in the Northam and found it very cringey at the time but think that was just the timing of the chant. If it was just kept for when he produces a bit of magic, it's very distinctive, we now know he can hear it and he knows it's for him. It was a funny old game last night anyway having to watch a training game for alot of the time but some of the mongs in the. Ortham, if ever there was an advert for 'don't do drugs'.........

Seedhouse the Unrepentant says... 10:02am Wed 2 Nov 11 STEEEEEEEEEEVE came in the suite afterwards, he absolutely loves his new chant so keep it up lads! Of course he would say that. Would you expect any player to admit otherwise. So his name is Steve, but surely we can come up with a witty chant to accompany it. When he does something spectacular 'Steeeeeve!' is ok. 'Steeeeeve!' when he makes a mistake ain't so clever. Not when he's still settling in. Sort it out guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 If was funny the first couple of times then it became very off-putting.

The Cat Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 I thought it was quite amusing really and normally I'm not a big fan of some of the stuff the Northam come out with. Couldn't hear any other names being shouted out from my seat though. Judging by the players on twitter last night they seemed to find it funny too so I don't really understand the problem. Also it seemed to liven the crowd up at a time when the game was, in all fairness, dying on it's arse as a contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigchrisy Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 It's just a laugh. People need to get off their high horse with things like this (any chance to moan about something).

Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 This thread is f**king ridiculous.... It has to be taken in context.... it was like an exhibition match last night, completely one sided.... the steeeve and other name calling was a highlight for me, I found it pretty funny and it made for a good atmosphere despite the paltry 21k in attendance.

Fan The Flames Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 But not for every player on their team. That lasted for a short period of play, it didn't catch on end of. Move on. For those that think the Steeeeve chant affected his play can you please tell me what affected his play against Crystal Palace. He sometimes wants to work the ball too much and that makes him loose control, his touch got better as the game went on. So I don't think it would have affected him.

This Charming Man Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 Ignoring the fact that the shouting of each players first name every time they touched the ball was one of the most pathetic 'chants' I've ever heard, what really got me was the fact that everyone would start p*ssing themselves laughing every time it was done. Fair enough laugh the first time, each to their own and all that, but 10 minutes later when it's being done for the 100th time? Really?! Last night confirmed for me that 99% of our support are utter, utter mongs. What I would do for us to have a proper football following like Spurs, Leeds, Newcastle etc. Thank god there were only a handful of Boro fans there and we didn't embarrass ourselves in front of thousands.

Couldn't hear any other names being shouted out from my seat though. Same...Didn't see anything wrong with it at all... thought it was quite good and tribal...and..yes..imaginative...rather than do do do steve de ridder or some repetitive balls that gets applied to every player that an original chant can't be applied to. Very daft singing it out to every other player who touched the ball if that's what happened...didn't hear that myself if i'm honest....but like i said...when a few thousand people all bellow steeeeeeeve together...thought it was quite good.

Wurzel Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 I was listening on 5 live extra. Once the commentator worked out what the Steeeeve was he said how good it is when a player and fans have that kind of relationship. Couldn't hear other players names though, agree that doing it for all is childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 How on Earth is shouting "Steeeeeve" embarassing? Daft yes, but I can't imagine too many Posh fans going home and saying, "what a bunch of f**king mongs, they were shouting 'Steeeeeve' at a player called Steve." I think some fans have a massively inflated sense of their own importantance at matches. You go to a match, sing a bunch of songs (most of which are pointless anyway) you leave and you go home. That's it. I think some people are under the impression that the whole football supporting 'community' got up this morning and started talking about what Saints fans in block 42 were singing last night. NOBODY CARES. If you want an embarassing song, try this one for size: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintandy666 Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 I thought it was quite funny for a minute or two during our passing play to shout the players name. It certainly wasn't THAT bad.

saints_is_the_south Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 I was stood between block 42 and 43 tonight and will never do so again. Have never been surrounded by a bigger bunch of ****s. Shouting a players' name for an endless amount of time is not funny at all, and thankfully after having a word with a couple of the mongs around me they stopped their c*ntish season ticket waving, although there were still a fair few doing it. What is it with that block that attracts the biggest c*nts in Southampton? F*ck me. Exactly why we left the Northam. Was back there for the Preston game and it reminded me why we left, Kingsland north is where its at and youu don't get half as many cocks. Really hope this "steeeve" doesn't catch on at away games, its ****ing terrible and cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
