The people you should be chanting it at are those who Bris reckons are the real fans - i.e. the hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers. Good post. Retweeted this.

I enjoyed singing the one in the 90s when he was actually a forest player and he had aspirations of more england appearenced. Hated him bck then. The current one.... is not only vile singing about somone breaking their leg, its pathetic given that he stopped playing years ago, and is more of a broadcaster now who doesnt annoy me what so ever. I never sing this song, and never will, really childish probably sang by fans who werent old enough to go watch us when the incident actually happened. I agree and boo while this is being sung.

Seem to remember him and Dwight Yorke showing no remorse after Yorke had just made a pretty much career ending tackle on Dean Yates. Yorke never got the abuse he deserved for such an horrific challenge on such a great player. Tragedy that Dean Yates never played for England.

jagerbob Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Ive re-read match reports about this game, and i dont remember it at all either. I am not sure if i was even at this game, despite pretty much going to every game back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit i dont remember it, but reading the write ups seems like Yorke could have been sent off for that tackle, but also for carrying on and blasting the ball wide when flagged offside. He also scored the winner. The write ups do seem to suggest it was a bad tackle. If we had got a point out that game we would have been in europe.

Alph Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't dislike the Collymore song because it's nasty. Just dislike it because he's irrelevant and it happened about 14 years ago. Collymore himself probably loves that 14 years later he's still having his name chanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's a pretty boring chant. We can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG2Ram Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The Yorke tackle on Yates was horrific. Yorke went in with both feet off of the ground to try and block a clearance that Yates was making, totally mis-timed it and took Dean out at knee level. It was one of those fouls that you new was going to end badly as soon as it happened. Whilst Yates lay prostrate on the ground Yorke just stood there with that annoying toothy grin he always seemed to have whilst showing no visible remorse whatsoever. It should have been a straight red but I'm not sure if the ref even booked Yorke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't ! To me it seems tinpot. . Just reeks of self congratulation ect ... which anyway ALWAYS comes back to bite you on the ass in football as we ALL know.. . Some cool replies and I guess as ever it's all down to how you see things in your own perspective .. Our world's are not comparable but when the red Mancs take the faff out of themselves re their support ect .. well that's kinda where I'm coming from in my perspective. But do agree with posters that it does depend on who the chant is aimed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyMark Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The Yorke tackle was diabolical! The crudest challenge I think I've ever seen and the dirty get didn't even get booked...ended Yates career and to rub salt in he grabbed a late winner that ended our proud unbeaten record at Pride Park (in February..). I remember Collymore gloating at the end as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
