Can’t stand either of them and wouldn’t bother joining in if I was there.

JCGE was a great addition, Toytown and Discoland are hideous.

 

I had no idea what these songs were so had to youtube. Deary me...

As regards alternatives, how about stuff by Flogging Molly, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Dropkick Murphys, etc? Bit more modern and bouncier than the older folk tunes but still similar in theme to traditional songs. Either that or just adopt more random pop tunes from the past and make them their own - similar to what they did with "just cant get enough", "chelsea dagger", etc.

I would be amazed if even 5% of those at celtic park knew what these above mentioned songs were.

 

I think ToyTown sounds brilliant, and has been one of the more well adopted by the majority songs in a long time, it sounds brilliant at away days too when everyone is singing it. The good thing about songs like this is that there are no words to learn, so it can catch on very quick - not everyone inside the stadium is going to know three or four full verses of numerous different songs.

Discoland sounds good too when we're away but it isn't going to catch on inside Parkhead.

The club playing it over the tannoy is just trying to cash in on the GB - they'll probably have t shirts with things like that on them soon enough, just like they did with JCGE and COYBIG.

 

More than half our songs are about rangers or Sevco. Really embarrassing now. Sing about Celtic ffs

 

? name them

 

I bet the people complaining haven't sang a word inside Celtic Park in the last five years, if they've even been there.

If you think the songs are so * get off your * and get an atmosphere going in your own section.

 

I bet they have

 

Then whats their problem then?

 

Let's all laugh at Sevco hahaha hahaha
No Huns in Europe
No Huns in FIFA
No no no no no no no no no no no no there's no rangers
Who the * are Glasgow rangers?
The huns are *' zombies and we're the champions
All this "when rangers die" - which was fun for a wee while.

Possibly more songs about them, too. It's getting boring. I join in with the Celtic songs, and these other chants, but don't sing about 'them'.

 

That's nonsense.

The Celtic song, Willie Maley, YNWA, JCGE, COYBIG, Celtic Symphony to name a few. Add in BOTOB, Lonesome Boatman, ROH and I defy you to name even a fraction of hun/sevco songs we have in relation to that.

 

I named 6 for starters, plus the around 10 versions to 'when rangers die'

 

They haven't ever sung such nonsense as 'no Huns in FIFA'.

 

They have

 

Honestly, they have.

 

I love what the green brigade have done to this club and would love to be amoung them every week creating an atmosphere in the ground (which they do very well) my job however means I often work saturdays (another reason why I don't have a season ticket) but i agree with suggestions that they should expand the GB or singing section.

The club could allocated a wider section in the LL stand and say call those tickets something else, for lack of a better idea say, 'Lions Roar' tickets or something like that and charge an extra 50p or quid and then everyone who wants to come to the game with the purpose of creating an atmosphere, singing, claping or jumping around can buy them for that purpose rather than exclude people who can't always be in 111. Everybody could sit there together and get half the stand rocking instead of 111. That way, it will get more folk together and the old moaners can get a seat to sit and moan and the rest can sing away?

 

They don't like the song

 

it wasnt the GB it was the people that filled in when GB werent there at the Inter Milan game

 

It's all very well recommending Punk bands as things we should sing, but the fact of the matter is football is still a working class sport and modern Punk music is not what the modern working class guy at football is into. They are into Rave music and Dance music, they probably laughed at the folk listening to 'Punk' music at their schools, probably called them Goths or some *. The type of young guy at football is always going to be what you lot are calling 'neds'. If you want a less 'ned' like culture at your sport, go watch tennis or rugby or something. Hate this snidey, snobby attitude of calling people 'neds'.

 

Exactly Anthony.

I would * know if they did as I sit in the section.
