Get Rid Of Goal Music

[SaintsLoyal]

Its not football and more akin to yank foam hand waving.

Are you with me ?

 

[Roger]

Yep.

[gammon cheeks]

Love it ! Great little tune to celebrate a goal .

[LGTL]

The majority are with you I expect, but it’ll be here to stay. 

[Harry_SFC]

Doesn't really bother me to be honest

[ant]

We've never struggled with atmosphere and/or limbs after a goal. So it just seems unnecessary. Kinda crushes the genuine reaction.

[revolution saint]

I like it.

Yeah really annoying when we scored the winning goal and I realised I needed to cut short my celebration as hearing the music was going to make me miserable again. Fucking goals

Properly tinpot. 
 

Takes away from the crowd atmosphere and probably inspires the opposition more than it does our team. Scrap it immediately 

[Whitey Grandad]

It’s naff. It’s American. I don’t mind its use in ice hockey but only because I never watch it.

[whelk]

What is pathetic when they announce the gate  “ a massive….” Like wow it is 30k

[miserableoldgit]

Oh great! Somehing else to moan about......don't like the goal music......Saints Brass play too slow.....even though it's the speed that it was being sung at yesterday.....attendance announcement...and I am a miserableoldgit.🙄

It's a bit of fun I'd say the majority of the stadium join in on, it lasts like 15 seconds if that, you can still celebrate in your own way whilst also having the music play, why must we bitch and moan about everything.

You can take it as read, if you are against it I’m for it and vice versa, in any matter.

Attendance announcement ruined the day for me. You are far too cheery

[saintwbu]

Our home atmosphere has been crap for years, this doesn’t make it worse, arguably it makes it better because people carry on making noise for a bit after the goal celebration.

Some even wiggle their bottoms as well

[niceandfriendly]

Properly ruined my day that did, hearing a bit of music after we scored. The chants the crowd sung were cringey too, wish people would just be quiet and keep their voices down. A silent 0-0 with no music, noise or any kind of fun is what I dream of at the football.

Sickening. SR out! Grannies wiggling their bums out!

I thought we’d got rid of the goal music last season....& then it dawned on me....

People have been saying this since the mid 2000s. It isn't going anywhere.

Once again, noise doesn’t create an atmosphere.

And then people clap, haha. That gets me every time. 

As for the music, it's shit and it spoils the celebration because it comes on while people are still cheering and shouting.

If they are going to have tinpot stuff like this at least wait until people have stopped celebrating ffs.

[Ex Lion Tamer]

Hate goal music. Would be interesting to have a poll on this

Yep. Keep the goals, kill the music.

[SaintBobby]

I'm not overly fussed, but I do think the more artificial atmosphere you try and create the more you dampen any real atmosphere.

[saintscottofthenortham]

We loved it!

Cheer up.

Seems like a ‘The Price is Right’/ ‘Generation Game’ mentality being let loose. 
 

“Had we won today, look at these three points we would have won … but instead …”

[Lord Duckhunter]

Announcing the player of the match during the game winds me up more. That’s fucking noddy, I fucking hope to god we don’t do it when we’re losing, as that’s double Noddy.
 

 

[Badger]

Immediate response is to agree with the OP. Don’t like it, just Americanising the game for no purpose.

Have to agree that it’s ‘foam hands’ , crap, really naff, tinpot, and ‘noddy’ even.

Taking my miserable old bastard head off for a minute though, three positives:

1)it does seem to be enjoyed by a fair number, young and old in all sections of the ground 

2)Vastly better than when they used to play ‘I feel good’

3)It must really get on the away fan’s tits, standing in silence having seen their team concede to witness the nauseating spectacle. ( For that purpose alone I was quite content with it yesterday thinking how it would wind those gobbier cunts up).

 

[Bad Wolf]

No

Why is everyone so touchy about the odd Americanism creeping in?

Can't wait to hear what's triple Noddy.

If you get rid of it the Stone Island wearing bell ends will have nothing to dance to and will be sad, is that what you want?

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

It is a very clever way of control. Stops certain chants being made by the crowd. Also played at the end of a match. Total mind control sheeple.

Yes it's clearly the deep state hard at work, I shall bring a roll of tin foil next week to protect myself.

We (many football clubs) have been playing ‘goal celebration music’ for decades now, this is nothing new. In the Burley seasons we used to play I feel good; I distinctly remember that because about a week after James Brown died, it randomly started playing on the PA, whilst the ball was in play.

Anyway, if we’re going to play anything, I’ll hang my hat on Kernkraft 400, it’s a great tune and a proper stadium anthem. Not exactly American either, Zombie Nation are a German techno ensemble.

[Saint_clark]

Having previously said it's going nowhere, been watching the games today and can't remember hearing goal music once.

I would have thought that the Godfather of Soul would choose to haunt a better sound system than our sh*tty stadium PA, but I could be wrong.

Even more of a moronic choice having listened to it.

(But it will piss away fans off)

Normally I'd be anti it but for some reason, I'm enjoying it so far! We get a chance to properly celebrate the goal, then after around 10-15 seconds it comes on and feels like a chance to act like a dick and enjoy the moment again! Especially if you're near the away supporters!
