cjslcfc Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 The Poznan is just unnecessary though. We used to be a bit more spontaneous after we scored, now without fail we have to do this pre conceived half hearted thing that doesn't improve the atmosphere at all. In fact it's just annoying now. I don't mind copying things if it improves the atmosphere. Copying stuff just for the sake of it though, or because you think it will make you cool like those 'cool' clubs that do it, completely defeats the idea. I completely agree. Spontaneity is what football chanting is pretty much all about, as well as the classics (which never get an airing either). I'm just playing devil's advocate in saying it's not really the songs or the actions that are embarrassing but merely how we fail to commit 100% to them. An away stand full of leicester fans doing a poznan more spontaneously would be fantastic viewing. Or even more so for us foxes a whole stand belting out When You're Smiling. There have not been that many times I've watched us at home or away where I've really felt we've been 100% committed to singing most of the match. We have good and bad periods And it's just embarrassing when it's so half hearted and no one joins in. Anyway enough about atmosphere...
sylofox Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Didn't call you a bad fan, I just don't understand this attitude of not singing certain songs, surely we should just all sing everything and sing them all loud and proud, you've still not told me why you don't like it, I get not doing the Poznan, but then I also think Mexican waves and shit like that are stupid, I go to a football match to watch what is happening on the pitch. But back to my point what don't you like about it, and why does that stop you singing it? I just think it sounds like kids at play school should sing it. Not grown adults imo
Mickey O'Neil Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Looks like a lot of you are getting turfed out. Their stewards sound RIGHT jumped up, jobsworth mini-Hitlers. Good luck to you all!!! http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/224612/rat-boy-steward

Maybes Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Palace may be in the premier league but are hardly a 'big' club are they... Oppostion fans' reaction to us singing it and us doing the Poznan sums it all up. Spurs and Arsenal both sing it now...
AKCJ Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 What's most embarrassing is when one club sings a chant at us and we sing it half-heartedly back at them. Hope this will be a good day. Should be a decent buzz in the pub before the game too. Love the Cup. Agree. Look at when we made right tits of ourselves singing we love you against Palace. Why can't we just sing a slower, louder version of WYS?!
Voll Blau Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Agree. Look at when we made right tits of ourselves singing we love you against Palace. Why can't we just sing a slower, louder version of WYS?! It's not so much the songs for me, it's how half-hearted they are. Most of them would sound pretty good if they were sung with the same gusto as Man City did for example. Look at Leeds' support. They've got 3 songs. They're not even very good. But they're always loud and passionate. And in tune. You don't have to be a great singer to be in tune, it's about the attitude in which you sing it. Like, why have we butchered the our boys in blue song? Do people think it makes us sound hard to sing it like brain damaged retards on a field trip? And the rest...
Kitchandro Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 And the rest... Marching on Together We all Love Leeds We are Leeds Never heard them sing anything else, it's usually just those 3 on a continuous loop.
Corky Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Marching on Together We all Love Leeds We are Leeds Never heard them sing anything else, it's usually just those 3 on a continuous loop. Champions of Europe
RonnieTodger Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Leeds certainly have a bigger and better repertoire than us
Guest Bilo Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 The steward on the Stoke thread is hilarious, either an absolutely genius WUM or the most jumped up, officious waste of blood and organs in English football. Hi guys, thanks for your feedback. As a steward, my first aim is to ensure the safety of all supporters. If this means that I have to throw a few people out and show them who's boss then that's what I'll do. It's not easy being a steward and it's difficult when supporters use you as a scapegoat to play up in front of their mates. If you don't want to get thrown out then don't act the hard man.It honestly means a lot to me (and the other stewards) that our presence is being felt and that we are respected by those we serve to protect. This thread will go up on the dressing room wall to encourage us further. Bring on Leicester.Cheers,Rat boy the steward In our opinion, your brother was intoxicated and was urinating aggressively towards other toilet users. I was contacted via radio that game to help eject this individual and, I have to say, the force used was most definitely necessary. He could have had someone's eye out. Your safety is my priority. If you feel the need to abuse me verbally or physically then please expect to feel my wrath. If you don't like me then chances are I probably don't like you either. And who is it who holds the power and responsibility? Oh yeah, that'd be me. Absolute gold either way!
Captain... Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 I just think it sounds like kids at play school should sing it. Not grown adults imo And all the other chants are so grown up. It is not about being cool, or grown up, or even in tune or at the right tempo, it's about getting behind the lads and creating some noise, if people stopped worrying about how cool they looked/sounded we would probably have a better atmosphere. Just saying.
NewburyFox Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Marching on Together We all Love Leeds We are Leeds Never heard them sing anything else, it's usually just those 3 on a continuous loop. If you hate Man U shoes off, and if you hate Man U sit down/stand up. It was quite entertaining to watch over 3,000 Leeds fans sit down all at once, then stand up again. Certainly more entertaining than what was being served up on the pitch at the time!
KFS Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Had a scan of their forum, they're expecting a low turnout from their supporters. Someone has kindly put together a song book for us consisting of the following: Your support is fvcking shit.. They're here, they're there.. Premier League, you're having a laugh
Aus Fox Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 The steward on the Stoke thread is hilarious, either an absolutely genius WUM or the most jumped up, officious waste of blood and organs in English football. Absolute gold either way! It's brilliant Calls for we're Leicester City will piss how we like on Saturday
sylofox Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 And all the other chants are so grown up.

Just saying. You really think I worry what anyone thinks about me. You really are talking to some one else arn't you? I never even wanted to be cool when I was 6 watching the fonz. lol lol lol
Bert Posted 3 January 2014 Posted 3 January 2014 Embarrassing that it's a song sang by lower league clubs. Don't see any premier league clubs singing it. It's dying off anyway. Why don't we try songs with words instead of "woaaaaaaaaah" every other second. Take a look at United's song for Januzaj and City's for Kompany. Personally I find this "AMF" embarrassing and ridiculously cringeworthy. But there you go. That's life.

Harry - LCFC Posted 3 January 2014 Posted 3 January 2014 Wow, what a read that was. Him describing himself as an "authoritative figure" did make me smile. The whole stereotype of stewards being drunk on power is true then. Of course him and his little crew will fail in their main objective again on Saturday - not once all season will they have managed to get everyone to sit down. That being the case it makes it even funnier when deludes himself about having some sort of power in the stands when he's so obviously unable to do what is asked of him.
sylofox Posted 3 January 2014 Posted 3 January 2014 So why do you worry that it sounds childish? Cos I am not gonna sing Ba Ba Black Sheep either. Has nothing to do with cool It's a crap song that sounds childish. You want to sing it get on with it is upto you. But after you have sang it remember people on here took the piss out of hull for the tiger roar song they do lol
jh95 Posted 3 January 2014 Posted 3 January 2014 Personally I find this "AMF" embarrassing and ridiculously cringeworthy. But there you go. That's life. What's embarrassing or cringeworthy about it? Do you agree with ticket prices, especially in the premier league? Do you agree with what the likes of Vincent Tan are doing? Are you not backing the safe-standing campaign? How about the match fixing?
Kitchandro Posted 3 January 2014 Posted 3 January 2014 Wow, what a read that was. Him describing himself as an "authoritative figure" did make me smile.

I'm pretty sure it was just some random guy on a wind up.
