J.Lisemore Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 Get rid of Goal Music altogether, that was shit today to be honest.
Benji Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 The goal horn screwed it up. No music > Kasabian - Fire > Post Horn Gallop > PHG + Kasabian > Chelsea Dagger
Granno Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 Cracking song, but just not as goal music. Either revert back to the Dagger, or scrap it all together (please).
Fox92 Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 Please no music at all! I cannot believe that people were phoning up the radio wanting the Chelsea Dagger back, why cannot we just have none...
purpleronnie Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 I'm sorry but I'm so glad I dont go anymore I couldnt stand it.
Webbo Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 I'm sorry but I'm so glad I dont go anymore I couldnt stand it. One day I'm going to read a post from you with something positive to say.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 What's wrong with Gok Wan? I love him He is so annoying! I would rather watch my wall for an hour than listen to his voice. . The only part of any of his shows that I can remember he was going round the Walkers Stadium actually.
leicesterseddon Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 The arguments about which song best suits the role of goal music just muddy the waters. You either think playing music after goals is a good idea or you don't. I think 'Fire' is a decent song, but then again I think quite a few songs are good. It doesn't mean I want them played after my football team score a goal. I absolutely despair at our fans at home. The overwhelming majority are complete wankers, to be quite frank. Can you imagine what would happen if pop music was played after goals at Elland Road/White Hart Lane/St. James' Park? Honestly, I don't care if our attendances are higher than when we were at Filbert Street. Give me 16,000 football fans over the 20,000 kids & disco mums at the Walkers any day...
nuneatonfox Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 I don't like the song you can't jump to that. Unlike last one I really liked the last one. I'm thinking of writing to Leicester requesting the old one back.
Tommeh Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 Obviously no goal music should be played but come on... fire wasn't anywhere near as bad as chelsea dagger, having full grown men jumping up and down arms going up and down is the most cringeworthy thing in the world...and it didn't happen today, it wasn't a total embarrasment compared to Chelsea Dagger and at least it not used by every fooking club around. But yeah give me a pile on at Selhurst park and day of the week.

purpleronnie Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 One day I'm going to read a post from you with something positive to say. I'm very positive infact I go to games and have a great time, if you want I can link to some positive comments I've made no trouble and I'll accept your apologies after, I feel sorry for the people who have to endure all that nonesense over there.
Legend_in_blue Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 It didn't work today because people weren't expecting it. People slating it have no taste in music and over half the crowd probably wouldn't be able to tell you what it was at all. Chelsea Dagger is cheap, tacky music.

Guest MarshallForEngland Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 The problem that I can see is that we have used Chelsea Dagger for so long that a large proportion of the crowd now directly associate post-goal celebration with the tempo of whichever song is played immediately after a goal is scored. It's why these silly sods are phoning in saying nobody knew what to do when Fire came on. It didn't occur to them that their actions are neither controlled nor limited by the music and they were quite free to express their jubilation in any way they pleased. Kasabian's Fire is a song worthy of any celebratory occasion (with the possible exception of the wake immediately after a cremation) but our attendees have been indoctrinated to such an extent that they now believe the music dictates to them the fashion in which they celebrate the glorious spectacle of a goal. That said, when Chelsea Dagger came on, I have been known in times of extreme joy to clench my fist, punch the space directly above my head, and then repeat the process with my other arm while performing the reverse procedure with the initial appendage, followed by a complete repetition of the entire routine. So I don't know what to believe.

Precisely the reason I've stopped getting excited and taking home games seriously and Just go to take my brother and actually watch the game.
kimsalabim Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 You didn't go to the Leeds game at the end of last season, then? PHG was played prob worst I've ever heard it, but it still sent shivers down the spine just to hear it again. Can't get much more of a motivational call to arms than that for us. Some random pop song is never going to have the association with Leicester that the PHG has. It might have historical connections, but i think it's time to get a bit more modern... Missed the Leeds one due to work commitments but did get to 14 games last term, including... dare i say it... the scunny game where they played PHG. (due to my work, and ST is not really cost-effective, due to the fact i don't know if i can go to some until the day b4...) I never said get rid of PHG... Just put it on before they come out, instead of that wanky hey "west brom" jude... PHG then something better coming out the tunnel all the way. I never said get rid of the PHG at all.... TBH i would be far happier if they stuck with PHG and just got rid of that ridiculous West Brom anthem they seem to like playing just before... That is my real reason for bitchin
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 I think we should have Agadoo. The disco mums and kids would love that. I think somebody on here should start a petition for the club demanding this. Is anybody with me?
kimsalabim Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 Introduced in 1941 apparently.You'd struggle to find a fan who could remember a time before the PHG. If we got rid of that we might as well rename ourselves LC Foxes. Never said get rid of PHG... Just move it... And please can we start a poll to get rid of Hey Jude???
Guest Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 What I don't get is a good 95% of the posts in here are anti goal music. You would have thought that is a good reflection that the majority don't want it. Im not saying foxestalk are the only voice but it gives a good impression of the fans true feelings.The club really need to listen to the fans on this one. This forum is representative of a particular type of fan. The Fans Consultative Committee has discussed goal music several times, and those of us who want no goal music don't make up 95% of the group. We barely make up 5%.
maddog Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 It was so embarassing today and showed how much all Leicester fans who go to home games rely on the goal music to celebrate. People just froze when we scored and when Fire came on, just looked at eachother wondering WTF was going on because there was no Chelsea Dagger. So pretty much no celebrating was going on it was cringeworthy. And the goal music will probably be around forever now. Going to Sheffield U and then today makes me realise how shit home games are compared to away. Hopefully il be going Preston Tuesday.
CosbehFox Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 I am going to be in the extreme minority and say I like it. It's unique and at least as some tie to the city. Bundesliga crowds get on with some right unique tunes. As for the supporters of dagger, what planet are they on? Have they have been to an away fixture. Spanners.
purpleronnie Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 Thats what happens when fans get programmed to react in certain ways, its just another way for the club to control the fans, why they feel they need to do this I dont know? it seems english club officials live in a perpectual state of fear so anything they can do to keep the fans in line they will do.
Rich Fox Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 Never said get rid of PHG... Just move it... And please can we start a poll to get rid of Hey Jude??? Hey Jude is an embarresment we have the perfect song in heroes in blue and white, why is this not played before kick off? forget goal music dont need it after weve scored.
Bluefoxtim Posted 22 August 2009 Posted 22 August 2009 After we scored, I had a few people around me doing a premature monkey climb then having to stop abruptly! It seems to have brainwashed everybody though. When Fire started playing, people were just standing there and half cheering and half clapping, then were straight back down. If goal music was totally eradicated, I can bet that everyone would jump up but be back in their seats before the goal scorer was even announced. So in that respect, I guess the Dagger kept people up and the atmosphere a bit more lively for an extra 30 seconds. The annoying thing is, and I think it's a key point, is that there are probably a good number of people who just associate a goal with that bloody dance rather than it changing the actual scoreline!!!!!!!!! Away games though, it's completely different. You score, go mad and start hugging each other, then it's a mass turn and chant to the home fans, then non-stop singing for a few minutes.
