When you're SUPPORTING your club you spend most of your time singing songs to SUPPORT your club
When you spend 90% of the time concentrating on the opposition and constantly chanting moronic c**p like "you scouse c***" or "dyche is a pedo" you're doing just that, chanting moronic c**p. That's not support
Eg it's utter cringe when singing "3 0 and you still don't sing" literally 10 seconds after they've scored
-
Yeah I agree. Was in the top tier and there was a gang of pissed up blokes, behind me starting all these stupid foul mouthed chants off.
They weren’t young lads either.
-
Always amazes me how there's a vocal minority of keyboard warriors who can't wait to slag off our fans for literally anything.
Atmosphere yesterday was great and was a credit to us.
-
Didn't hear any of that stuff in the lower section. Thought our fans were good overall.
A fair bit of "goading" but only light-hearted stuff from the majority.
-
The only stupid chant last night was aimed at Pickford chanting you let your country down,
Didn't hear the Dyche chant and I was in the top tier, and they didn't sing tho did they. Quetest home crowd I've seen in along time
-
Heard the "You're going down" when we're 3 -0 down, seems very silly.
Anyone else getting fed up with the "We've got McCann" go to song being sung far too frequently?
-
Was in lower tier & it was 80% getting behind the team with a bit of cringe thrown in now & then.
& I love that Grant gets the love in, we're lucky to have him imo, let's keep him as long as we can.

Exactly my take pib.
Brilliant support on the lower tiers all through the game. A good balance of positive singing sprinkled with a little light-hearted goading. I actually enjoyed joining in with the "Is this a library?" song because God knows I've suffered on the other end of that enough times at our place.
I certainly can't identify with the comments in the OP.
-
Thought our fans were immense last night, and took the piss.
Only song that I've an issue with is the sbarra song, so cringy and makes me wince every time
-

No issue with the "your going down" when we were 3-0 down
You have to recognise we are 3 divisions below them, and they will struggle in the Premier.
-
A range of comments on X from the Everton fans, ranging from Donny support was superb and they could teach Fulham a thing or two, and Newcastle, to A pity all they sung were derogatory songs about us rather than supporting their own side.
Best balanced ones
Some bad songs but hats off to the tremendous support
Thought the support was brilliant, annoying but brilliant
So I guess it’s just what you prefer as every one has a take on it.
Though I agree the personal name calling stuff is abhorrent.
-
What was that ‘Your city is red’ about? I have far more respect for Everton than I do Liverpool. I thought it was brilliant that they filled that great old ground for TLOD and really added to the sense of occasion for us.
-
Your city is red
Your city is red
Just like Donny
Your city is red
Straight to the point if you ask me!!
-
I agree with the comments about peesonal attacks in songs that isnt acceptable, however everything else that was sung was great banter and that is what it ahould be seen as. The support from our lot was immense and the best away day experience crowd wise since Charlton.
-
Maybe i eas unlucky with the seat.
The gang of blokes behind me were just drunk and really eye wateringly foul mouthed and abusive throughout.
-
Hopefully one day football will stop tolerating these types of people and have them instantly removed.

And this is why I stopped attending away games - it’s moronic, stupid and downright disgusting

The support was excellent last night. It is part of football having banter with the opposition fans.
It’s football.
Some want us all to sit on our hands and just watch the game.
I can only imagine how proud the team felt hearing that great support.
-
Jesus some of the comments on here. It's nothing new, these sorts of songs were sung with venomous gusto in the early 90s when I was a young lad getting into following rvers away from home.
Maybe just go to church and step in line.
-
The roar at the end when the players came over was brilliant. Feels like there's a togetherness. Hopefully it inspires the players for the games to come.
-
Pickford England's best keeper since Seaman. Idiots was a small minority.
-
It's called banter, Pickford is one of the best at playing along with it.
-
It's called banter, Pickford is one of the best at playing along with it.
Watching on tv there was a situation where Pickford was seeing a ball out of play in front of where our fans were and obviously something was being said to him.
He appeared to have a bit of a laugh with them and went back to his goal area.
I’m sure he thrives on interaction with the fans.
As for the “you let your country down”thing, I remember it being sung to David James when he played against us at the KM a few years ago.

The fans were building up to the ‘you shit bas**rd aah’ bit expecting him to launch it upfield. So everyone was going ‘ohhhhhhhhhhhhh…’
He then purposely let the ball go for a throw in, laughed and put his thumb up

Sorry to hear that tommy toes.
I’ve had similar experiences at away games (Bradford City two seasons ago springs to mind, not to mention Rotherham) and it can totally ruin an otherwise enjoyable experience.
I was lucky last night, in the middle of a noisy but very well-behaved group of fans.

Yep, I was in front of that and it was a brilliant moment. Real good-tempered interaction between Rovers fans and Pickford and he handled it perfectly. It all ended with laughter and a smile and thumbs up from Pickford and he went up in my estimation in that moment.
True football banter.
-
Spent most of the first half listening to a women moaning at where people were standing, when moved moaning that a 1000 dare stand in front of her. She was right at the back too....lower.
You want to sit down get a front row seat
-
Heard the "You're going down" when we're 3 -0 down, seems very silly.
Anyone else getting fed up with the "We've got McCann" go to song being sung far too frequently?
Feel free to contribute something different yourself.
-
Literally nobody sat down on the top tier. How it should be at an away game

I'll never get bored of that song.
-
You let your country down isn't banter. Well it's shit banter then.
-
Songs like the McCann and Luke moly one's are superb, stands out against all the boring one's other teams supporters sing, but we are attracting morons that continually use c***s, ba*****s who the f**k are you when surrounded by young rovers fans ( 10 to 12 years old ) having to listen to all that from so called adults that if they had another Braincell they would be dimwits

In Round 3 of FA Cup in 1969 we played Liverpool at Anfield and took a massive amount of fans
Most will have joined in with ....
Jingle Bells St John smells
Roger Hunts a ****
There was another verse but I can't remember it , but point proven , it's been going on since "chanting" became a thing
-
The only thing I noticed was how 20 years ago we had a chant for every single player on the team, now we do like 3 max!
-

Feel free to start another new chant!

Same in the lower tier.
90 minutes standing on my tip-toes has done wonders for my calf muscles!
-
Well , we have moved on to the old chestnut Standing v being seated and as people get older they will realise at some stage that some people cannot physically stand up for 90 plus minutes , and there are some who while they ARE able to stand up do NOT want to do so
Weve had several discussions about standing zones but like the one at Bradford City a few years back every row starting at Row N would be designated as Standing so everyone knew where they stood.
I chose a lower Row thinking that would be safe for a sitter like me. However there were 5 people stood directly in front of us . I politely asked if they were going to Stand all game. They said "yes". I asked politely if they would mind swapping the 5 people behind them so they could stand and we could sit and they said "no"
I left after 20 minutes to find other Seats much lower down.
At Everton I chose the Middle row of the Second Tier down and every person stood for every minute of the Game in every part of the second tier. I didnt want to stand but I had no choice

I wonder how many of our habitual standers also stand all game when they're watching football on TV at home....

I wanted to sit too as I have an ongoing issue with my feet and ankle but had to stand all game and then hobbled back to the car. Was expecting the people in front to sit but no one ever did

What a stupid comment about standing up in their own homes watching football.
-
It's called banter, Pickford is one of the best at playing along with it.
I do like Pickford. He knew took the piss out of us lot when he let that ball run out of play for a throw in then looked up and laughed.
That's exactly what a top level player should do in that situation. It's about relaxed self confidence. You get the feeling he knows what it's like to be a fan and he was playing his part, without being a t**t.
On the playing side, there was a moment in the first half where Molyneux cut in from the right and lined up one of his curlers to the left corner. Pickford just took half a step to his right before Molyneux let fly and when the shot came in, he didn't have to move another inch as it went straight into his hands.
Very simple, very obvious but very impressive.
-
What a stupid comment about standing up in their own homes watching football.
It was a genuine query, not a comment. I presume, from your comment, that you’re a stander at games and a sitter watching at home; if so, why the difference? Again, a genuine query.
-
I actually don’t have the money for watching football at home. Never presume people can afford it.
Yes I stand as does my son, even with having major surgery on my leg a few months ago.
I have a season ticket. I stand near the back of the south stand so not standing in front of anyone that sits.
The vast majority of supporters of all clubs stand in certain areas. I feel it adds to the atmosphere.
I couldn’t sit and keep standing and sitting when there is some excitement.
I am respectful to other fans
-
Support sounded very good today.
Just going back to the Supporting v Goading question.
I remember many years ago speaking to the wife of Richard Green (Gillingham). She told me if supporters knew and realised what a massive lift it gives to a player by chanting their name they would sing the names of the whole team for 90 minutes non stop. That gives me the answer. (Though funny banter is great)
-
Banter in football, can’t do without it
-
Great support yesterday, loads of positive encouragement for our lads - Jay McGrath song second half meant he grew a few inches and puffed his chest out. Lots of well deserved goading of Darren Moore as well! Thought there fans weren’t great, poor turnout and quiet as mice for most of the game, only noise was when scoreboard told them to clap after they’d scored.

Oh no Sven! Some of the prawn brigade can be rather vile and course fellows you know. Just like to sit with well brought up people with good social values. In the past I have even mixed with people from Thorne ask Wolfie.

It would be nice if we had "fans" who just supported instead of trying to start trouble, but then you're probably one of them if you want to defend them so much.

It's nothing new. When Rovers played at Goodison Park in 1985 the Rovers fans gave Everton's Andy Grey dogs abuse, singing...
It's Grey,
it's Grey,
it's Andy Andy Grey,
when he gets the ball he does f**k all,
Andy Andy Grey.
(To the tune of Boney M's Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday)
-
....Not forgetting the old classic.
Andy Grey'ey,
He's a w**ker, he's a w**ker,
Andy Grey'ey,
He's a w**ker, he's a w**ker.
To the Hallelujah Chorus!

I agree, GR. It's all about standards. I've been in some houses where you can't have a p*ss in the sink for mucky pots.
-
The support was excellent last night. It is part of football having banter with the opposition fans.
It’s football.
Some want us all to sit on our hands and just watch the game.
I can only imagine how proud the team felt hearing that great support.
Thing is that's exactly the point I was trying to make. It's SUPPORT when you sing about your team and yes of course the odd bants flies about. But my God the constant crap was a joke. However sounds like it was around the section I was in and not the while away end thank god
-
Soz been on hols to cleggvegas and marbella-thorpe.
Original post wasn't about banter chants in general, complaing about naughty language in general, nor anything related to home atmosphere or other aways. Just my God it was constant tripe at everton and a total waste of effort and frankly embarrassing. But just seems like consigned to a small section unfortunately it appears all around me :zzz:
Class. Not crap
Ney mind. Off to apply the aftersun
