DB11 Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 How many of you think that when the Birch says the players' first name and then expects us to say the players' second name just embarrasses the club, the fans, the playes and the Birch? I mean, no one does it and the people who do don't really want to, it must sound so lame. I think he should stop now, what do you think? PS. Hope City win today, it will just make my Christmas even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anish Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 It's unbelievably bad. The sooner the club stop f**king around with pre-match 'entertainment' and stick to the original Post Horn Gallop, with the PA announcer (not Birch!) announcing the teams, the better.

Collymore Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 I have to agree it's a bloody joke. Don't get me wrong, I like the birch and feel he do does a good job for the club but shouting the names out is just so cringe worthy. I Don't know if it's aimed at the yournger kids (which makes it a bit more acceptable) as I would have probably enjoyed doing it 15 years ago.

The villa game halftime was my worst experience ever! Start cueing next to some smelly tramp, concede a goal on the monitor, get bombarded by the worse opera ever, find there's only burnt balti pies left ....

Collymore Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 You should say the wrong names like us. It's rather ingenius tbh. Elvis.... HUUUUUUUUME! I'd love it if all the fans would just go completely quiet (like a 1 min silence) and a bit of tumble weed just rolled over birch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 I've got a lot of time for the Birch. I used to like him reading out the player names in the NORMAL way. I absolutely hate the new way though. Although I'm not entirely convinced it's one hundred per cent his choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 Dont get me wrong, I like the Birch, BUT NOT READING OUT THE TEAMS, PLEASE LET THE ANNOUNCER DO IT, STICK TO HALF TIME BIRCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He's not bald Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 Well the way things are going we won't have to learn any new names in January..infact we might even be able to cross a few off the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox63 Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 Well the way things are going we won't have to learn any new names in January..infact we might even be able to cross a few off the list! I agree with all the posts on this subject. It's all very embarrasing for the club. I wonder what it sounds like from the middle of the pitch. Do you think it was Birch's idea or has he been told to do it by the club. I think they ought to bring back 'Jump Around'. Just a shame the old farts in the crowd objected so strongly.

DB11 Posted 26 December 2006 Author Share Posted 26 December 2006 I guess that if the Birch objected then they wouldn't make him do it although I doubt he came up with the idea. Also I think it is supposd to build an atmosphere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

act smiley Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 The problem is, if everyone got into it, it'd sound quite good, but anything where about three people get involved is inevitably going to end up rather rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wils Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 This has gone beyond embarresment now,He surely must realise that its not worked and decide that its time for another one of his fantastic ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasrallah Posted 26 December 2006 Share Posted 26 December 2006 Arsenal do the exact same thing at the Emirate. Difference is they got like 30-40.000 more than us in attendance. It is embaressing, I agree. Birch needs to quit it asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice avatar, btw. No, it's his idea. A few weeks ago the Mercury were moaning at us because we weren't giving it enough support. It should have been done at the start of the season or not done at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc_jme Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 Embarrassing simply because we don't get involved in it enough. It doesn't help either that some people get the names mixed up and don't know who wears what number! Seriously, if we all joined in, it'd be fine. Sadly, we don't all join in and never will (well maybe if we were top of the league!). Needs scrapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
