    I have to say "Foyzer for Ireland", "Singh & we're winning" and other obviously Rovers songs do more for me than random rugby club stuff like the BR one.

    The really daft one (and Derry must get a great kick out of it) is the "I was born in the Showgrounds" song. The whole "knives were made for stabbing" and so on has its origins in a lovely Loyalist number - "I was born under the Union Jack" - all about shooting Taigs in the back.

    Could we ever put that one to bed, lads? Or do you want to throw in a few lines of "the Billy Boys" as well?

    Been reading your bro's book again recently Fivesilver??!!

    The song i really hate and refuse to sing is the "no one likes us, we dont care" one. Its pretty obvious if you talk to other el clubs' supporters that this is not the case. Its also a real Rangers/ Milwall/ Chelsea song and i refuse to join in when it is sung.

    Not in a while. But do you think he just invented the link to that crappy song?

    My original point was that Rovers have more tradition on the field and off than most clubs. We should have our own songs.
    More to the point, are we going to make sure, come October 29, that despite being well outnumbered, the Derry fans aren't going to come out on top?
