JRM Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 I had never heard it before so for me yea I thought it was quite funny. My sides weren't splitting but I chuckled at it. Went with my brother in law who hasn't been to many football matches and he found it funny too. After I left the ground that was it though. Hardly something to write home about. That's why when I came on here and saw people laying into it I was really surprised. Just thought what's the harm. Seeing who started the thread obviously kicked off everything I said about ideologies. Sorry if I did come off a bit strong but I just find this whole dictitorial attitude towards how people support their team so mind-numbingly dull. I'm sorry but we're now one win away from promotion and come on here this morning to read.... ' A great night for us ruined by the actions of a few. I've never been so embarrassed to be a saints fan.' I mean come on... Really? what was it about him wearing orange and saints fans saying, hang on a minute, he is wearing orange, and wotsits are orange so lets sing he looks like one, become funny? if he was wearing green and people sang he looks like a bogey would you have laughed at that?
Turkish Posted 18 April, 2012 Author Posted 18 April, 2012 I'm sorry but when was anything about following a football team mature? Is it mature to sing songs about made up stories of shooting pompey fans and following it with WE HATE POMPEY, WE HATE POMPEY. The beauty of following a football team is that it is so ****ing immature. A bunch on grown up men shouting their heads of and hugging each other... In what other situation is that deemed acceptable behaviour? He was wearing an orange kit. Hence some people wanted him to feel insecure about this in a mildly humourous way. And I bet it changed his mindset somewhat. Feeling like actually I do look a bit of a prat. Anything to put the opposition at a disadvantage no matter how slight. Get off your ****ing high horse. Football is a modern game supported by people from a massive demographic. Football away days aren't like scenes from Green Street no matter how much you wish they were. Remember you praising Millwall's support earlier in the season. Would love to see you justify that to the mothers and fathers who's kids were being spat on and having coins thrown at whilst waiting to go over the footbridge. Reassess your attitude to what consitutes support because your ideologies are outdated and quite frankly far more embarrassing than telling a goalkeeper in an orange kit that he looks like a wotsit. I would bet you a thousand pounds he didnt even remotely feel like a prat or feel even slightly insecure.
de-fence Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 what was it about him wearing orange and saints fans saying, hang on a minute, he is wearing orange, and wotsits are orange so lets sing he looks like one, become funny? if he was wearing green and people sang he looks like a bogey would you have laughed at that? Is it funny when people sing 'get back in your burger' to dean gerkin? Not really. Just a way to make some noise and make an opposition player feel a bit uncomfortable. Its just not an issue. I don't know why I'm even wasting my time debating it. Just find it incredible that something so innocuous can get under some people's skin as much as it clearly does.
de-fence Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 I would bet you a thousand pounds he didnt even remotely feel like a prat or feel even slightly insecure. Well we'll never know. Hope you're well on the way to recovering from your traumatic experience last night.
This Charming Man Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 We're 2 pages in and still nobody has been able to supply a valid reason as to why they think it's funny or amusing to chant something that a 15 year old kid would be embarrassed to say at school.
Pip Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 To be honest I found the idiots who shouted "Who?" and then booed when Posh introduced some past players far more embarrassing. I presume we'll pick up a few more morons if and when we return to the Prem.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 My favourite is when fat middle aged me shout "you fat B@stard" when a skinny keeper takes a goal kick. Hilarious!
Dog Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 I would bet you a thousand pounds he didnt even remotely feel like a prat or feel even slightly insecure. Wrong!! Spoke to him after the game in the car park. He was a bloody nervous wreck, and the Wotsit name really got to him, when I said he did resemble a Wotsit he ran to his car like a greyhound, and we all chanted Wotsit Wotsit Wotsit at him, he was very tearful and wheelspinned out of the car park giving us the bird!

If anyone thinks any proffesional footballer is slightly off put by some fat middle aged, beer bellied bulb is replica shirt or some spotty teenager shouting "who" and then Loling like it's the funniest thing they've ever done when they come of the field of play they are sadly mistaken.

I'm sorry but as an experiement... If I told you to get the gloves on and put in 10 crosses and took note of how many you caught. I then get 4,000 people behind the goal and get them to tell you you look ridiculous and just shout general abuse then put in another 10 crosses. Do you not think you would perform worse? I'm not saying this as fact, if you honestly don't think it would make a difference then fair enough. I just think it would.
Dog Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 (edited) Wotsit chant is vvank! Edited 18 April, 2012 by Dog

Must admit I agree with this
Tokyo-Saint Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 To be fair Henderskate looked upset at the abuse he got when we played at their place. He can still be seen moaning about it to John Carew on the bench at West Ham.

They certainly wouldn't find it funny singing "you look like a twiglet" at a thin black player.
This Charming Man Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Must admit I agree with this Why? It's just a way to make some noise and make an opposition player feel a bit uncomfortable. Its just not an issue. I don't know why I'm even wasting my time debating it. Just find it incredible that something so innocuous can get under some people's skin as much as it clearly does.

Was expecting this and I admire the wit you've shown by copying what I said. I said I agree that as if any footballer would care about some nobody in the crowd shouting 'who?' when they earn more in a week what said fan may do in a year. Did I start a thread on it? Did I say it ruined my night and that it made me embarrassed to be a Saints fan?
View From The Top Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 If its any of you lot Please stop it. We are not short of sh*t song as it is but this really does take us to new depths. A great night for us ruined by the actions of a few. I've never been so embarrassed to be a saints fan. I nearly came back down the terrace to see your reaction. I knew you'd be doing your nut.
Delboy Dave Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 if he was wearing green and people sang he looks like a bogey would you have laughed at that? Yes!
Midfield_General Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 If in doubt, just ask yourself - what would Jason Statham do? I think he'd probably be cool and hard, staring into the middle distance with a slightly pitying look in his eye. So that's what I do, because he's *well* brilliant
red&white56 Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Is the "Wotsit" chant any worse than the "Legwarmers" chant at Birmingham - in the cold light of day both are a bit pathetic, but I enjoyed them both and I look forward to the next occasion when I can sing something stupid about the opposition goalie!!
Dalek2003 Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 The wotsit song and Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve chant were annoying but to say it ruined a brilliant night is stupid !

Just like why no one can actually point out why the Love You song is meant to be ****..

I presume we'll pick up a few more morons if and when we return to the Prem. That's traditional, it started in the prem as an ironic chant to famous players and it has just carried on. You can't **** with tradition.
shurlock Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Not funny the first time it was sung at the MK Dons ginga and not funny now; but, seriously, who gives a f**k. At least, its not as bad as the pineapple on his head chant -and ffs that went national.
This Charming Man Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 That's traditional, it started in the prem as an ironic chant to famous players and it has just carried on. You can't **** with tradition. It's sh*t because myself, Turkish and Griffo have said so.
Sour Mash Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Just like why no one can actually point out why the Love You song is meant to be ****.. Loads of reasons have been given on here as to why that song is so s**t.
Verbal Kint Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 It's sh*t because myself, Turkish and Griffo have said so. Why don't you, Turkish and Griffo get together a list of acceptable chants for all saints fans to look at? The mods can make it a sticky and the three of you can keep us updated on what is and isn't acceptable

The mods can make it a sticky and the three of you can keep us updated on what is and isn't acceptable I'm currently working on this, don't you worry. It will all be in place for next season.
scotty Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 I'm currently working on this, don't you worry. It will all be in place for next season. Will we still be permitted to sing OWTS, seeing as its apparently a spurs song?
dune Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 And another thing that annoyed me was all the comments about what a sh/t hole London road is - moaning about the wooden seats, the toilets, the tea bar etc etc. It's not a sh/t hole, it's called a ground with character. give me that over some souless plastic stadium any day.
CB Fry Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 I did think shouting "whoooo" at the old guy was funny and to be fair he gave our end a wave so fair play to him. But whoo at cuurent subs is just pointless and embarrassing. Wotsit mildly amusing first time but no need for duration of entire second half. We're top of the league when we weren't was utterly spasticated.
latter day saint Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 I'm currently working on this, don't you worry. It will all be in place for next season. why the wait ? something this important should be sorted ASAP. leaving us lesser fans in limbo is out of order FFS!

Thedelldays Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Nah, the funniest moment of the night was the old woman in the wheel chair in the torrential rain. mine was when their physio ran on for the first time and a bird right near me was joining with the inevitable, "does she take it up the ****" chant quite amusing
Legod Third Coming Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 When somebody comes out looking like a Skip, I'll sing 'Look like a Skip, you fecking look like a Skip'... or any other savoury snak of my choosing. Thanks.
Turkish Posted 18 April, 2012 Author Posted 18 April, 2012 When somebody comes out looking like a Skip, I'll sing 'Look like a Skip, you fecking look like a Skip'... or any other savoury snak of my choosing. Thanks. Personally I think Danny Fox looks like a Frazzle and Harding looks like a quaver.

Because it's football. I'd be pretty embarrassed chanting "you're sh111t and you smell of fish" in public usually as well...
Turkish Posted 18 April, 2012 Author Posted 18 April, 2012 Because it's football. I'd be pretty embarrassed chanting "you're sh111t and you smell of fish" in public usually as well... As I said in the OP we aren't short of sh*t songs........
Thedelldays Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 As I said in the OP we aren't short of sh*t songs........ pompey fan on a string is a good one though
Legod Third Coming Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Personally I think Danny Fox looks like a Frazzle and Harding looks like a quaver. Yes, but you cannot sings songs about your OWN players unless to compare them to Messi, Pele or claim that they are the best team ever - better even than the great Brazilian, Italian, Portugeuse teams and the current Barca... FFS man have you ever even been to a football game??!!!!
dune Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 The thing about the wotsit remark was that it was alright the first time, but people around me were having hysterics the second and the third time.
Legod Third Coming Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Chelsea fans singing 'who are ya' to Lionel Messi. That's football. Mental chants that make no sense in the cold light of day...
John Boy Saint Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Glad I sit in the Chapel................. Allegedly it's Chapel by name Chapel by nature................ Sing something it's wrong. Whoa!don't sing something it's wrong! So what, everyone had a chortle home and away at the Peterborough keeper wearing luminous orange that made him look like a crispy snack. If you want an axe to grind at slightly wrong things from some of our fans. Next time you attend away have a look at the number of young men who have had not enough Lemonade in their pre match Shandy when the Home teams Mascot comes out for a wander about. It is amazing the number of our super hard fans giving a Giant Fluffy Rabbit, Massive Hornet, or whatever; The finger! Two fingers! Or the Five knuckle shuffle sign!!!!
harwellsaint Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 thisI sung it, and I also shouted you fat wotsit when he took goal kicks, sorry for enjoying myself, I'll make sure I comply to your rules from now on.
