Songs 'N Chants

[Ted]

Ok this sung to the tune of 'the song that never ends'.

The Mariners are the best
We are better than the rest
For - the blue and yellow - we all stand and shout
Coz, we are loyal to the club there isn't any doubt, that

 

[Part_Timer]

may i add, songs dont need to contain words to be effective. Just because the word "yellow", "coast" or "mariners" doesnt mean it cant be used 

WHAT R U SRS........Are you some kind of crazy person.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but the 'You fat b*stard, You fat.....' chant that we sing from an opponents goal kick sounds so rubbish.  I don't know why we started signing this one but personally I think it sounds cheap and nasty.  It sounds even worse when you listen to it on television. 

I love all of our songs and chants but this one I really can't stand.  Does anyone else feel the same way about it?

what is your opinion on 'lets go mariners' and 'everywhere we go'??

 

[Davo]

Haha 'Lets go Mariners' is obviously a primary school swimming carnival chant but sometimes you need something simple like that to get the crowd involved.

'Everywhere we go' I don't have a problem with.  It's only sung once a game and I think it's great when Auburn get the Bay fired up.

kk, and do u see this as something which can turn bluetongue into the intimidating fortress that lawrie spoke about?

Not a fan of it at all ... especially as it is a long term Perth Glory thing, which the Roar copied. We started it late at times in Season 2.

I dont give a toss about other fans groups opinions of us but I think anyone who sings "lets go" deserves to be roundly abused.

Nothing else says "tosser" the way that chant does

Just to add a positive note:

I had to be in scumville for a weekend family function (wife's side) and escaped long enough to drive down from Belmont for the game.

The eta given by my neice must have been lowflying stuff as I walked out of the Railway car park as the game started.

I can tell you where the sound goes from the northern bays - straight out the back!  It was very loud crossing the railway bridge - well done for the game start.

On another note my drive down was lightened by listening to the guys on CoastFM all the way from Swansea.  The segment with Damien Brown on the NYL was tops, and the 'scripted' disagreements between the team (that is scripted guys?!) kept me laughing.

thanks chris - we also had danny at halftime and that was an excellent interview

more disagreement without trent there as luke and i have differring opinions about the game and how it should be played, but definitely not scripted andm makes for good radio

on this occasion luke was right as carceras had a super game playing in the middle

I was in the Kendall for a beer before the game and the thing I noticed was our lack of specific chants that directly targeted some inadequacy of the visiting MV fans. They had a few chants that targeted us, one of which went along the lines of "two grand finals and haven't scored a goal" (or something similar to that). We countered with the good old "We all follow a yellow football team... etc, etc". It was loud but would not have really dented the pride of our visitors.

Perhaps we could start a thread which is all about short sharp chants which directly target specific football clubs. If we are faced with this situation again then we'd be prepared with a quick, witty and hurtful reply.

Nothing too fancy, just one or two lines that can be chanted loudly and clearly in order to suppress any negative Mariner sentiment.

For example, the chant after the 2nd semi last year... "2 - nil and you f**ked it up" or "we got three and you got none... do dah..." Not the best examples but easy to pick up on the spot and join in.

Suggestions???

I like the song that WBA fans were singing to Curtis Davies (I think) who deserted them for Villa.

"Your just a fat greedy bastard"
Fat greedy bastard"
"Your just a fat greedy bastard"

etc etc
