Revenge for 2002
Right, I see what's happened now. Sorry for wrecking your nerves BAT!Right before this debate wrecks my nerves!!!
When the odious "Build my gallows" is sung by a small minority of juveniles at some Linfield games the following has been observed or should that be, heard by me:-
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"
Ya see, Steve Bruce first wrote this:
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.Towards Paul Millar - If you hate Paul Millar clap your hands(to the tune of Build My Gallows)
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.
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.

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
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

As is "what the f***ing hell was that?", etc.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
I was right all along!!!!!
Not about the tune everyone down here sings it to!

That is, “on this planet”.
Two Liam Kearneys, there's only two Liam Kearneys...
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
Spider-Quig, Spider-Quig,
Does whatever a spider-quig does.
Can he spin from a web?
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
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
