Steeeeeeeeve!

[Griffo]

The call of Steeeeeeeeeeeve was a tad strange and a bit imaginative

 

Imaginative?

[John Boy Saint]

Imaginative?

 

compared with Do-Do-Da-Do "Steve de Ridder" usual half a brain cell used normal bill of fair! .......................... you missed the bit used ahead of imaginative: I think that makes it 1-1

[Genk]

As I have commented elsewhere.

 

This is an adaptation of a GOLFING Chant.

 

For footie fans, this alone should make them hang their heads in shame

 

Man Utd used to do it for Ruud Van Nistelrooy

There has been two Steve De Ridder songs suggested and put forward on here, so if the Northam and 42 in particular were capable of singing songs with more than a few words in and not singing them at 100mph then we would actually start getting somewhere. Until then, I'll be staying in block 39 with normal human beings.

I sit in 42, and i'm getting pretty f*cked off with these sweeping generalisations everyone are making. There maybe 20-30 mongs up at the back, but there's another 800ish people in that area.

[surrey1saint]

I really dont understand why it would upset you so much. Chill the **** out.

 

Indeed,its only a laugh FFS!

It seemed a lot more than 20-30 people last night. Many more than that were shouting the players' names.

Good point and anything inspired by united is on here.

[Saint_clark]

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.

[Barry the Badger]

But not for every player on their team.

 

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.

[saintrich]

Embarrasing but expected.

[DJ_TOAST]

just seen this on the Echo site, so if da man likes it....

STEEEEEEEEEEVE came in the suite afterwards, he absolutely loves his new chant so keep it up lads!

[eelpie]

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]

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'.........

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.

[Guest Dark Sotonic Mills]

If was funny the first couple of times then it became very off-putting. It reminded me of the mindless 'Millwall, Millwall, Millwall' chant that goes on for ever.

[The Cat]

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.

[shurlock]

And that's precisely the kind of chant mugs on here who convince themselves they're too cool for school want to start...'miiilllllllllllllllll'

[yorkie]

I seem to remember Deby doing it for the keeper by surname - Poon...it sounded like they were booing!

[Bridge]

Please stop this! It sounds really sh*t and I think it is putting him off.

[simondo]

i thought it was quite funny - except it obviously distracted him to begin with - so stop it!! :-)

[richardc]

if you read the tweets from the players last night they loved the chants

Jos thanked us for singing his name

De Ridder liked the Steeeeeeve and Chaplow was gutted he missed his Riiiiichard - they all plus Cork and Lallana thought the banter was great last night

[bigchrisy]

It's just a laugh. People need to get off their high horse with things like this (any chance to moan about something). Everyone had a laugh singing/shouting it, it's just light-hearted fun.

[Bartosz Bialkowski]

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]

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]

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.

[B Rabbit]

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]

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.

[Lighthouse]

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:

 

[Saintandy666]

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.

 

But the atmosphere in general was very sterile yesterday.

[Sour Mash]

And that's precisely the kind of chant mugs on here who convince themselves they're too cool for school want to start...'miiilllllllllllllllll'

Where has anyone said that?

Dont worry mate, you just know its going to carry on now what with everyone finding it so funny. I am sure the 3,200 Brighton fans at our next game will get to sample the terrace wit of SMS.

 

I wonder what colour outfit their goalkeeper will wear? I bet it wont be orange after the abuse the 'boro keeper got last night. He sure as hell wont want that. However we can always sing "look like a starburst" to cover all bases when it comes to keepers kits.

[locksheathsaint101]

Wow it was a bit of light hearted banter complete over reaction:

If it's green I'll be banging out a 'you look like a bogey' chant for 90 minutes!!! Hahahaha, please join in it will be fun!!

The Brighton game is covered, I've heard rumours that a couple of brand new songs are being penned for that one already, titled "Does your boyfriend know you're here?" and "We can see you holding hands". I love it how we can be so original when we make up songs, those Brighton fans won't know what to do when they hear these ones belted at them, it'll be hilarious!!

And then they'll chant back about us being a small town in Pompey!!! Hahahahahaha!!! Classic wit.

 

Then we might reply with 'you're just a small town in Worthing'. Side splitting!! I can't wait.

[Turkish]

LMFAO!!!! We could all pretend to pick our nose and flick it towards to pitch in mock abuse, that'll upset him. If we did it when he was coming for crosses it would be sure to put him off his game and give us the edge. lets do it i say!

[saintmatt]

Jesus, some people on here. I bet I get more enjoyment from life than they do.

What and risk having all the home fans being ejected for homophobic chanting I think not. Brighton fans have a clear policy of now reporting all homophobia at matches. I think we should call their bluff and sing "Does your girlfriend know your here? you big strong hetro man you" and "We can see you holding copies of loaded magazine you totally not gay lads"

[saintj]

This exactly. Quite possibly the most sh*t "chant" to come out of the Northam in quite a while; and that's a pretty f*cking low benchmark.

 

Then compounded by the "RICHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", "ADAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!", "FRASER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" b0llocks that followed it.

 

Not enough :facepalm:, utter sh*te.

 

AGREE! this crap has to stop NOW!!!!!

he's taking the p*ss,

he's taking the p******sssss,

Stevie De Ridder,

he's taking the p*ss,

[Barry the Badger]

AGREE! this crap has to stop NOW!!!!!

 

At first I thought it was just a bit of fun for a one off dull game but after these threads today I'm going to be doing my best to make sure it REALLY catches on.

 

In a similar vein I have recently made an extra effort to shout "BARMY ARMY" as loud as possible during the red and white chant.

[saintmatt]

I know that I go to bed at night wishing I was you xx

 

I'm not saying "my life's great, look at me" (and I think you know that), I'm saying some people need to lighten up a bit; maybe let some of Adkins' positivity rub off on them Life's short, enjoy it (especially as Saints are doing so well )

[Ohio Saint]

Is nobody going to be pedantic and mention that his name can't be chanted in Belgian, as that language does not exist? So a Flemish accent might be appropriate?

 

OK, I'll shut up now.

[charliegeorgesflymo]

Good job we didn't have Dan seaborne, Dan Butterfield and Dan Harding all on the pitch. It would have been like an episode of I'm Alan Partridge.

 

very good - made me chuckle - try the audio book - awesome!

[saints_is_the_south]

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.

[Ashley Grute]

God some of our fans are sour faced c*cks
