birmingram Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The origin of Steve Bloomers watching from 1979 [yt] [/yt] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale The Ram Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 This thread disturbs me! We have a statue of Steve Bloomer between the dugout meaning that arguably the best player to ever grace a derby shirt (other than savage and sammon) is watching the game. I believe that we are the only football team that has a song written for the soul purpose of being sung on matchday and if you like the forest anthem then feck off to the sh#tty ground!!! It would probably be good if we all sang the bloomin thing!!! I swear every game I go to there must be around 60% who either don't know the words or cba!!! ill only support the change in song if we move stadium or remove the statue! plus theres a second verse that we don't use!!! rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birmingram Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The aussie's updated the song in 2010 with some influence from the Derby version [yt] [/yt] I should say i like Steve Bloomers watching and it should be promoted more as an anthem but don't try to do this to it, because i'm sorry this is a SHOCKER [yt] [/yt] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby_Dave Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think Mull of Kintyre would be a better option than Steve Bloomer's watching. I would sooner set fire to my eyes than ever hear that bloody song ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennettDCFC Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Did anybody notice we didnt have this before kick off on Tuesday and it came on afterwards? I prefer it that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Mills Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Did anybody notice we didnt have this before kick off on Tuesday and it came on afterwards? I prefer it that way! I noticed. I thought for a second maybe we were in luck - Then they played it at full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it wasn't as bad at full time as no one clapped or shouted out of time. Or at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yeah I noticed, they must read the forum. Did anyone also notice the new guy on the P.A? Sounded like he has choked on many sausages in his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I don't mind it all like a previous poster said make it shorter if possible about 20 seconds or something. The only thing which is frustrating is the fact of every one being out of tune about 3-4 people singing around me at different times once Derby comes if you look around the stadium people still clapping etc once u finished.. Really cringe when that happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheltenhamRam Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 There's some miserable chuffs on this forum. It's our song, deal with it. If you're standing arms folded in protest just know that nobody will notice. But if it makes your little day then do it. There. Feel better now The Mull of Kintyre thing at the shitty ground is 'mist rolling over the trent' I think. Cringe!!!! Finally some sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I think one of it's major flaws is it's just too slow. It feels unatural to clap at that speed and that's reflected by everyone being out of time. Someone needs to remix it. Put a banging donk on it. Maybe add a 'drop' in there too. Do they sell glowsticks in the superstore? EDIT: (Also, I can't believe that's not an original song! I think it's a bit naff but at least I thought it was ours. Why would you CHOOSE to cover that over any other tune?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMalicious Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 We have a song written by us, for us and about us. Set to some music written by pros. Promoted/sung by Derby-related media-celebrity. It doesn't get any better than that. As for the singing - it will always be difficult in a stadium where the sound from each sound is bouncing around (and delayed) all over the place!

birmingram Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 . Why would you CHOOSE to cover that over any other tune?) I always thought there should be a cover version of this, but instead of D.I.S.C.O it should be D.E.R.B.Y [yt] [/yt] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
