It's not though... :eek:

I thought "Bunch of Thyme" was by Foster & Allen or some such no-marks. Would be VERY surprised to hear Linfield or anyone else singing it at a match

a) the tune used in the verses is the same tune as in the verses of "Bunch of Thyme"!
b) the chorus is definitely not "she'll be coming round the mountain"

Right, I see what's happened now. Sorry for wrecking your nerves BAT! :)

Ya see, Steve Bruce first wrote this:

Towards Paul Millar - If you hate Paul Millar clap your hands(to the tune of Build My Gallows)

---

At which firstly Erstwhile Bóz bit, and then meself, saying that's not the tune of 'If You Hate Paul Millar (or anyone else) Clap Your Hands', 'Round The Mountain' is. Or at least it is in every other club in the Anglophone world.
Then you thought we were saying 'Round The Mountain' is the same tune as 'Build My Gallows', but we weren't.
Ridiculousness sorted, back to the other chants then. :D

Dr., yeah though I think it's a trad song, it's most infamous for the time Foster & Allen embarrassed the whole country by performing it in leprechaun suits on Top of the Pops in the early 80s.

Bunch of Thyme


Build My Gallows


She'll be coming round the mountain


If you're happy and you know it

:D:D Balls. Fecking football matches. I've been singing If You're Happy and You Know It... to the wrong tune for the last fifteen years.

''XXXYYYY XXXXYYY We'll support you ever more'' is based on Welsh hymn '' Bread of Heaven'' FACT. Songs of praise used to be shown on Sundays shortly after coverage of the English football on ITV's Big Match ended and that I believe to be the connection. That the footie fans were too lazy to change the channel back in the day before zappers and subliminally took in the melody.Either that or all football fans cross channel are Methodists :D

Also to the tune of D-I-S-C-O was "schiz-o-phren-i-a" and "Does Liam Kearney know you're here"

I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me
If you still want me
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

Bus driver, please look for me
'cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison
And my love, she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her please

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the old oak tree

I'm comin' home

(Tie a ribbon round the old oak tree)

Remember a few years ago we were playing in the RSC when McGrath was director of football or whatever he was

Ooooh Aaah, at the bar or else Ooooh Aaah, on the jar

"Anto Flood, Anto Flood,
does whatever Anto Flood does,
Can he fly or spin a web,
no he can't, he's Anto Flood,
Look out, Here comes Anto Flood"

The original

No he can't, he's a Quig.
Look out... He is the Spider-Quig

"We all here on a technicality" just edges Derrys "4-3" for chant of the season :)

Not sang by us but got great pleasure in playing "That's Entertainment" as I watched what was left of the Dundalk fans departing from Kingspan Century Park last night.

Bohs fans songs changed from "This is the best trip, I've ever been on" to "You can stick yer ****ing longball up your arse" tonight:p

In Terryland after Kieron Richardson kicked Regi Nooitmeer to the ground he got the following song sang at him to the tune of the Adams family.

Your cousin is a hooker, she got kicked out of Big Brother, your probably sleeping with each other your the Richardson family doodle do do.

Surprised Bertie wasnt giving out about that as well.

Rory H:''give him a P!''
ALL: ''P!''
Rory H: ''give him a 45!'
ALL: ''45!''
Rory H ''whats he gettin?!''
ALL: ''A P45!!!''

sung by 6 Sligo Rovers fans at Sean Connor at Flancare last night :)

Can I ask what y'all we're doing there? if you came along just to abuse SC, that's disturbed....

Bohs fans seemed to be there for the same reason cos they certainly weren't cheering on their team:p.

I was there cos I've been to 5 or 6 Longford Town games this season so went to this aswell, nothing else to do on a Saturday really. A few other fans were coming back from Dublin, after travelling to TC the night before, so popped in on way down.

Against Celtic last night:

You'll never beat the Irish. by the fbtn crew.
Can we play you every week.........

all the Celtic "fans" could sing back was "hail, hail, the celts are here, etc" whilst 3 nil down :p

nice. :cool:

To Drogs yesterday after three off their players went down with injuries in the first twenty minutes or so:

Drogheda keep falling down,
falling down, falling down.
Drogheda keep falling down,
They're all pussies.

agreed no mention of anything to do with football, the kieron richardson one though is top quality

'We all went to Trinity', Dundalk fans in the shed at last night's game. Great game, shame about the result, thought we deserved the replay at least. Fair play to the small but vocal band of UCD fans for making the trip up to Oriel (with bodhrán?).

You are a mucker,
a dirty mucker,
you're only happy on jiro day,
your mums a stealer,
your da's a dealer,
you all just f*gs,
from derry city :cool:

Thats class, one of the best ive heard of in a long time.

"Inchicore's,dirty beoures!Inchicore's,dirty beoures!"

Sung at 2 delightfull female pats fans spitting abuse at town fans all game!

"Your sister is a hooker,
your brother is a dealer,
your ma,you'll never meet her,
the patrick's family"

***BUMP***

Galway United needed to beat Bray tonight and hoped Sligo would win away to Harps. At half time in Terryland, the Public Address announced that Sligo were winning 2 - 0. A bunch of young lads started chanting:

We love Sligo
We love Sligo
We are the Sligo lovers

Last week in the Showgrounds, the visiting GUFC fans were singing
"We hate Sligo..."

:o:DHow ironic now, eh?

I think I speak for all Rovers fans tonight when I say that I saw the "shadow" of the "rising".

Derry fans tonight in Dalymount.

"champions and you's still wont sing, champions and you's still wont sing,

champions and you's still wont sing, champions and you's still wont sing,

champions and you's still wont sing, champions and you's still wont sing"

I heard that was one of the things that helped disrupt the party.

The two others were the stewards taking H/numorous flags of Derry fans and then Derry have the nerve to play them off the park again and beat them!
