kwsaint Posted 14 November, 2011 Share Posted 14 November, 2011 Since us v p'boro was the origin of the chant(s) and was the last home game, do you think it will be sung? I quite like it tbh. Saves the commentator the job of talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedArmy Posted 14 November, 2011 Share Posted 14 November, 2011 The STEVE part isn't too bad (apart from the childish giggling) but shouting every players name who touches the ball is mong behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano6 Posted 14 November, 2011 Share Posted 14 November, 2011 It's s****e full stop. Sounds more like a p**s take than getting behind the lad. You're right, he clearly hates it... twitter.com/stief87/status/131516553521934336 Loads of clubs do it, I particularly remember "Ruuuuuud". Nothing wrong with it. Does get a bit silly when it extends to other people's names though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Gabriel's Halo Posted 14 November, 2011 Share Posted 14 November, 2011 It should be more Python-esque in its' delivery. A bit ape-like and out of synch. If you know what I mean. it would be funnier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he's going to be positive about it, apart from the slightly odd David Connolly, a player just arrived at a new club, in a new country is hardly going to turn around and say 'f**k off, that sounds s**t'.

It's the easiest thing in the world to just ignore it. He wrote on twitter that it was "#greatbanter", it's not like he was cornered in an interview. And why is Connolly "slightly odd" - just because it's the perfect counterexample to your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Stimp Posted 14 November, 2011 Share Posted 14 November, 2011 I don't really mind it but it would be nice to get a proper song going for him going too. The 'ooohhh Ballotelli' style one was by far the best, would love it to be sung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 14 November, 2011 Share Posted 14 November, 2011 The chanting at the posh game was cringeworthy imho. I'm not the creative type, but surely somebody can come up with a better song for shteve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 15 November, 2011 Share Posted 15 November, 2011 People who pay their hard-earned dosh to attend matches, are perfectly entitled to sing or chant anything they want, provided that it is not racist, homophobic, or otherwise deemed to be non-PC by Guardian readers. I very much doubt that they will pay too much attention to posters on here who get a bit precious over it and consider themselves the only arbiters of good taste or what is cool. Comments from those who label them mongs should especially be disregarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 15 November, 2011 Share Posted 15 November, 2011 So they can't sing anything they want then? Mong. Your understanding of the English language is a bit lacking if I may say so. I qualified it by saying that they could sing anything they liked provided that....you know, it's the same as "apart from", "excluding", etc. But your use of "mong" as an insult tells me a lot about your level of intelligence.

Didcot Saint Posted 15 November, 2011 Share Posted 15 November, 2011 Please stop it, it is proper, proper childish and sounds ****. Not a problem after a goal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 15 November, 2011 Share Posted 15 November, 2011 Please stop it, it is proper, proper childish and sounds ****. Not a problem after a goal though. The Coventry fans I know didn't react negatively, just confused in a "what the hell are they doing?" kind of way. As such I think we should keep the 'STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE' chants up, it unsettled them quite nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 15 November, 2011 Share Posted 15 November, 2011 As some people mentioned on another thread, you can possibly link the brilliant terrace songs that come out of some clubs with the music scenes that come out of those cities, particularly Manchester, but also Liverpool. Southampton for whatever reason does not have that and some of the sh@t songs like STTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVEEEEEEE followed by laughter and some of our fans even CLAPPING at the end in praise of themselves does my head in. Can someone explain why shouting Steve in a stupid voice is good? It isn’t a song, it isn’t original , it doesn’t sound good, just makes us sound like a bunch of schoolkids.

CWD Posted 15 November, 2011 Share Posted 15 November, 2011 Seems silly to do it every time he touches the ball, but it sounded good on the radio after his goal against Coventry. It's all a bit of fun really isn't it? Who cares what other fans think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 15 November, 2011 Share Posted 15 November, 2011 The STEVE part isn't too bad (apart from the childish giggling) but shouting every players name who touches the ball is mong behaviour. Completely agree. The "everyone's name" thing was funny for about 5 minutes and even the people who started it had stopped by midway through the second half. Will be surprised if it ever catches on again without us being at least 4 goals ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sentiments exactly....(although i haven't been there in person) ... if the opposition support all shout out, in unison, 'Whatever' .... in a kind of tribal call, I can't see it being anything other than quite intimidating and will say something about the player. It loses its value when applied to everyone...that's daft. For a particular player there is no problem with it at all....and if everybody says it, again, i imagine it could be quite intimidating. ....and let's be honest, it's started now and imagine it will continue despite countless whinging. Come up with something better and get the majority of support to sing your song instead? Good luck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, I cannot remember hearing a similar 'call' since Hillsborough back in early 2000. The home fans used to cry in unison 'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH!!!!!' when Andy Booth came on, was quite powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
