Tricky1884 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 In the Derby Song we sing is it: (A) Since I was young I followed "Them" or (B) Since I was young I followed "the"? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I sing 'the', but I'm not entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 'On' But it seems to be 'the' now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Followed on makes no sense... unless we're talking about England playing Cricket. I sing 'the', and will continue to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueLou Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I sing 'em rather than them - bad grammar ya see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I just sort of make a noise. Nobody's called me up on it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsall Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 'The' definitely seems to be the norm now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Followed on makes no sense... unless we're talking about England playing Cricket. I sing 'the', and will continue to do so. Yeah, that's what it was though originally. I think it's like since I was young I followed on through thick and thin sort of thing But yeah, 'the' is better and most people sing that anyway because 'on' didn't make sense to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 As long as you don't sing "through" I think you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnHarkes Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I sing 'the', but pronounced as 'thee' so it completes the rhyme. I'm lyrically OCD and the low 'e' just doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireRam Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I sing 'them'. 'Since I was young, I followed the, DCFC, the team for me' doesn't even make sense. Nobody would say in a conversation: 'I'm just off to watch the DCFC play' !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I sing 'them'. 'Since I was young, I followed the, DCFC, the team for me' doesn't even make sense. Nobody would say in a conversation: 'I'm just off to watch the DCFC play' !!! "I'm just off to watch them DCFC play" makes even less sense... Let's face it most of our songs are crap when you actually think about it but when around 10k or so are belting them out in unison they get the blood going... Yes I said 10k cus I don't really count the West, North and half the East stand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody would say in a conversation: 'I'm just off to watch the DCFC play' !!! Agreed I sing them or 'em which are the same thing. As Yorky said "DCFC the team ..." is the next line, So neither On or the makes much sense to me. But then when did the average derby fan ever make any sense to me?
