Bensfcno1 Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 Same was at both games! un fortunately i was sat in the Chapel yester day (as got offered a free ticket), although the atmosphere sounded very good compared to recent games, it is impossible to get regular singning going in the Chapel. Also many around me did not understand what was being sung and when they did, they didnt understand the significance of the song or who it was aimed at. Depsite this , I love this song, and brought a massive smile to my face when I heared it first at Fratton Park in December. WHO THE F IS LAUGHING NOW?

Saint_Randell Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 I thought OWTS was sung well yesterday actually, 2 slow verses of it is enough and seems to work I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky_Mark Posted 19 February, 2012 Share Posted 19 February, 2012 Don't change a thing! It really gets to Pompey fans, all my mates at uni banter me but now the tide has turned they cant take it back, i rang them yesterday when we were singing it and recieved a lot of abuse back, shlalalala!

West End Saint Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 lol @ everyone getting excited over a 'new' song. We sang this at Fratton. It was great that this song started at Fratton the Skate's did not like it all I am sure it will get sung at the home game against the Cod snoggers I hope the whole ground joins in and we can banish the pain of when it was sung to us, he who laughs last eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamRed Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 They do not like it up 'em. It's going to be a monumental **** take in April, can't wait. My only regret is that at Farton, the "home" end (such as it is) is opposite the away fans, so we had to stand and watch them in 2005. At SMS, they'll be looking at the Chapel, which probably won't have the same effect as looking at our part of the Northam woulld have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I had to sit in the Chapel/Itchen corner in the 4-1 cup game, and it was still very loud that day. Cannot wait! Let's just hope they dont come to St Marys and beat us ! That would be awful.

Wurzel Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 for the few thousand there in 2005 this is so special' date=' the skates will get in, on then again they are thick so who knows[/quote'] They might get it IF it's sung at the right speed. Doubt they'll even recognise it as the same tune that they sang in 2005 it's being done so fast. Why why why is every song treated like a race to be first one to finish. If you're that embarrassed to be heard singing in public you need to get it over and done with as quickly as possible then don't bother. Remember their whole ground sing it at us? That was because they sang it slow enough everyone could a) hear it b) work out what it was and c) join in before it was over. Whoever bangs on the back boards needs taking out and shooting (purely in a Jeremy Clarkson context of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles34 Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 They gave a load of spiel then strutted off. Leaving me curled up in a corner shaking like a leaf. It was ok though, an old couple came to my rescue with a nice hot bovril and walked me to the train station. I sent them some flowers and a thankyou note, then added them to my christmas card list. There seems to be a lot to your 'story' that doesn't add up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 Ok it will be ok if there was a bit more to it, but apart from us and the skates no one knows what we are on about! It also reminds me of that terrible day at farton park! Can we have a few more verses, and also we sang it, and Pompey going down with no money in the bank 3 times before we sang a Saints song. We were singing it every few minutes at one stage. It was getting a little cringeworthy. It's most cathartic, and I enjoyed it greatly. The whole point is that we're reclaiming it after that horrible defeat at Fratton, and if we get the chance to relegate them in return (not that they did to us of course), then all the better. Plenty of additional words have been suggested, but now it's taken off there's as much chance of getting to sing them as there is of getting "when he runs, his ears go flap" added back to the Rory Delap song.

The9 Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 Best use of that overused Keep Calm meme I've seen for some time. At some point some of the Northam Banging Mongs will work out that we're all happy to sing it quickly AFTER we've done two full renditions first. Someone was doing it at West Ham as well, utterly ruining any attempt at atmosphere with their, ahem, off-beat shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 Oh and the Lee song is 'got him on a free and he eats sushi...' Pleased to say this filtered down to row S by the end of Saturday's match - though I think there's still some confusing about how many Tadanari Lees go before and after the other bits. I've also heard the, footyspeak, "come in on a free" sung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 lol @ everyone getting excited over a 'new' song. We sang this at Fratton. With additional "YOU'RE F'CKED" bits in the gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 though I think there's still some confusing about how many Tadanari Lees go before and after the other bits. . It was a bit hard to work out, was it 3 Tadanari Lee's followed by the sushi line? Tadanari Lee Tadanari Lee Tadanari Lee (slightly different tune) Got him on a free and he eat's sushi,,, repeat. That right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish fingers Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 With additional "YOU'RE F'CKED" bits in the gaps. Really, at Fratton we added "Skate Cu**s" to the gaps. Much more fun as i like swearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think pretty much everyone gets it and fully understands the significance of the song. However, in the Chapel and most of the Itchen and Kingsland stands there are many families etc who are not happy singing the f word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzie Saints Posted 20 February, 2012 Share Posted 20 February, 2012 Seems a good rendition but probably too complicated and not enough f words for some of our muppets... Brizzie, sorry but you have been watching too much eurovision on DVD. yeah your probably right, i didnt really like it either but was struggling to find a word that ended in ation. F*ck it leave it as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
