I’m sure Mel can arrange this. Against Leeds, when we are out of sight, I’d like us to do a reverse bounce i.e. all the crowd stand, turn around and bounce. It will look immense. Sheffield Wednesday fans would love this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't deal with swearing in 2019 then live sport is probably not the place for you. May I suggest cbeebies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I love how this is one of those conversations where neither side can avoid talking about it without calling the other side morons. Always makes it a good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is 2019 different to the 1960's when I first started watching the Rams, gratuitous swearing shows a distinct lack of vocabulary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontddu Ram Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 My take on the swearing in songs is that it's just not necessary and can restrict the number of participants. Most swear words can be easily replaced. A good example is the "effing love Derby", why not just sing "D C F C". It's a catchy tune and would travel around the ground. I'm no snowflake and can cus with the best of them, but I just think that the songs that work best are both clean & simple. The other problem we seem to have is the speed at which the songs are sung. We start a good old "We Are Derby" & by the 2nd verse, I'm struggling to keep up. The speed then kills it. Listen to Rod Stewart singing "We Are Sailing" & you'll get the idea. The only way to keep the momentum going is to sing at a constant pace. The other thing I find is that you just need to keep going. Even when a song dies out, it only needs a couple of you to keep singing and people will join back in at opportune moments. Don't rely on other people. If you want an atmosphere keep it simple & keep it going. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would sound awesome if sung slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son knows that some people say "naughty words" at the football and that he isn't allowed to use those words, but I also lead by example and therefore dont sing the songs which have swearing in them. If the songs were clean and simple then I think we could have the whole place going....(including the west!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm just one of Cloughie's recycled popsiders but still remember "Derby County, Derby County, We'll support you evermore! We'll support you evermore!" and singing:- "And now you've got to believe us (x3) We're gonna win the League!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethorn Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I love the bounce, not keen on the swearing but can live with it, but not a fan that it references the reds. I would prefer "if you don't ducking (I think I am not allowed to type that word in full) your not a ram" maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
