The 'Oh Silly Billy...went to Shamrock Rovers and you won *uck all' chant always gets the Shed going, but I personally would love to see Woods come back and play with City.
How about taking a different approach on Sunday week:
"Oh Billy Billy...
Come back to Super City
And you'll win the lot"
Positive chants aren't exactly a forte of the Shed IMO, Neil, but you never know...Quote:

True a lot of our chsants are negative towards opposite teams/players/fans etc but as gerry said you never know
Good idea. more of the positive chants towards our own instead of nagative ones to the opposition.
Aww, negative chants are always funnier.
Why, necessarily?Quote:

OK, things like 10-nil to the refugees etc can be very good when they are new. But I think most of the negative ones are intended to taunt or insult. There's no reason why positive/pro your own team chants or songs can't be funny...
Gerry
ok so Gerry ...your mission should you choose to except..etc etc..is to come up with a funny positive city chant..Quote:

Hey, I was goofin about the board...Bad day at the office, James?
Gerry
Gerry what I dont like is the way you in paticular every time a criticism of the board is mentioned (not on this thread but on others) you revert to ..bad day at the office, or that one about american babes or something..type comments..rather then responding to any of the points I have made.Quote:

Is it that you agree with them but dont want to say it publically or what..because it you do disagree with them..then I'd appreciate it you would say why !
The beleagured board comment had a smiley appended, James...Quote:

PLUS, I've stated elsewhere in plain English that it is neither my duty nor my desire to defend them. I suggest you chill, just a tad. You're taking this up ar$eways...
Gerry
Where can you get those flares again, by the bus station isn't it. Can you just go in and ask for them or do you have to have a rudder and outboard engine under each arm. What colours can you get ?
yea by the bus station..no just go in and ask...not sure what colours..only got the regular ones..the last time for the $hels game..anyway face you look scruffy enough to pass for a fisherman anyway... :D
Are there such things as blue flares does anyone know? I've never seen any colour other than red.
In the 60s and 70s people had all different colour flares...Quote:

Schumi check out tifo.it website
and go to the fire and brimstone section
according to them they have white,red,blue,green and yellow
I seem to remember a 'smoke making' machine for a couple of hundred quid on that site before.
be great to plug it into the chippers generator when losing a game & cover the cross to have the game suspended. Could say was like that Turin fog ;)
...this was a thread about Billy Woods/chanting it's now a thread about flares...
Gerry
I think that's what Longford tried when were out there a couple of months ago. The fog was so bad that you couldn't see the other end of the pitch by the end.
and i thought that was steam coming off all the ****e around the boggs there :D
None of the ba$tards there would give us a lift back into the town after the game either so we had to walk for about 45 minutes along the darkest road I've ever seen with no path. I'm glad we beat the w@nkers after that.
I know it's a negative chant, but i'm sure billy takes it in the spirit of the game, same as dolan and the fat bast*rd chants. This kind of slagging, particularly of "Judases" is part ofthe game. i admit it goes overboard sometimes, but i don't think people take it too seriously. As for "positive" chants, come up with some and i'll start them!
Why not try the 'Funny or positive (only) chants' thread?Quote:

seen it, not too impressed :D
How old is Billy Woods anyway? They say u should never go back,
don't they? But my biggest gripe with Gunther- apart from his tactical nous- has been the golden oldies he kept playing.

OK i'll give ya Deccie Daly to start with but Morley is on the bench & Johnny C isn't realistically going to play unless a lot of injuries.
Am I missing someone as 1/2 the team last week were 21 or under & Gunther gave them their debuts or promoted to regular starting position to 4 of them.
Maybe our definitions differ on whats old?
:confused:
Yeah, if there's one thing that i will credit gunther with (credit where it's due after all), it's the number of young players he uses. My only gripe with regard to the "golden oldies" is that they're still at the club; and even saying that, these things can't be done overnight, they have to be replaced first.
Isn't it funny :) /Boring :rolleyes: /annoying :mad: that Gerry and James have once again totally missed the point of something. Here is a challenge to the two of you. You both don't post ANYTHING containing any reference to the board. Because to be quite honest with the both of you, ye're boring.
rant over.
Exactely. Johnny C is surely in his last year. Skippy could be too & although I could see Deccie hang on for 1 more i'm be fairly sure they'll all retire when (i mean IF...) we win the league this year.Quote:

By next year Horgan & O'rouke will have played 2 seasons, Carey 1 1/2, Grady be firmly settled into city & then time for the latest recruits to get experience from the bench.
BTW anyone know what Patsy really does?
Billy Woods can hardly be considered a "Judas" :mad:Quote:

that was the reason i put judas in inverted commas! I was referring to the perception rather than my own opinion. I have no gripe with b-i-billy (as the huns call him), because i wasn't even a city fan when he was playing for us. He is perceived as a judas by many though, that's what I was geting at.Quote:

What would len think of me!!!!! :D
Sorry to have flummoxed you Pete. However i used the Simple Past in 'kept' and not the present continuous 'keeps'. Yes he has
played younger players to his credit recently. I wonder though does he really think youth is best or maybe this is just a phase for City. Also don't forget the shambles at the start of the season when he gave permission to two players- and I think they were
young players weren't they? to miss the start of the season.
4 players really:
Carey and Bennett were on holidays
Horgan and Tynan in China with the Irish University squad
Billy was amazing when he was with us in the Bishopstown days. I remember the excitement whenever he was on the ball and flying down the left wing. I propose that in memory of those great days we should amend the lyrics of one of our anthems - "The fields of Bishopstown"
Low lie the the fields of Bishopstown,
Where once we watched the Cork City play,
BILLY WOODS WAS ON THE WING, ;)
we had dreams.........
What do ye think?
heard it before and liked it, but there's too many wouldn't sing it.
