Quote: FredParky "cant see ther problem with the ira reference unless someone supports them'"


How long would a flag with "F@ck W1gan Rugby and the IRA" last if I brought it to LSV and hung it up - any modern stadium for that matter?
I think we can safely say that 99.99999% are against terrorists for goodness sake......but it doesn't mean you can't look at it and think what the f@ck we singing that for really? First impressions also do influence when new fans hear it and can't quite understand all the words but get IRA or F@ck. For me it is a catchy tune - but its them words that give the club a bad image.
And for those that use the sensitive ears type of comments I did actually sing it at top of my voice at the Pie Stadium in 2005, but since then I have grown to hate it when sung at games. This is a top corner of the Kippax fan typing this too icon_wink.gif

Quote: Leeeigh Leeeigh "I think you are missing the point a bit if that is what you think.
Does "You'll Never Walk Alone" mention Liverpool FC (or even Liverpool for that matter)?

Does "Delilah" mention Stoke City?

At least the song ends with "Leigh"! icon_wink.gif

And to those members of the Leigh Tiddlywinks Association whom I have offended, I sincerely apologise.

I would be happy with stuff Wigan rugby and the RFL... a046.gif

I love you
You love me
we're a happy family
with a great big hug
and a kiss from me to you
won't you say you love me too?

I love you
You love me
we're best friends like friends should be
with a great big hug
and a kiss from me to you
wont you say you love me too

There that should get us in SL'"

You'll never walk alone is a major trade mark of the red scousers. So the song is relevant tbh
Delilah actually got a good round of applause for one of Stokes renditions at Maine Road once. Its a harmless uplifting tune when sung at full pelt.
Blue Moon gets the goose bumps going some match days, and is inspiring and harmless. The club also use it (words and all) as a major marketing gimmick for evening kick offs with all lights going out and just a blue moon on the big screen this season.
We have the tune - but the wrong words. Regarding being bitter about RFL is hardly great either. We want uplifting words for a good tune.

ps If anyone is interested we are short on numbers for the Tiddlywinks trials tomorrow evening if anyone is interested. icon_smile.gif

waving a flag and singing a moronic song are completely different, but again I say point out where and what I wrote are factually incorrect? and nowhere did I say WE sang it I have never sang it never would never will, I am not the hypocrite here unlike yourself, by your own words.

Mines a pint... 'Hi-Ho Silver Lining' Headingley 05th October 2014.:1392.gif



Its a song.
No more or less offensive than the referee's a w----- or you fat ba----- Or any other childish references that go on at EVERY single sports ground in the UK be it sung or chanted or shouted.

Perhaps those advocating changing the words (and fair enough if you feel so strongly enough about it) will actually start up a chant at the next home game icon_idea.gif .
People will follow (this is the UK afterall), who knows, we might actually get some atmosphere at the LSV icon_eek.gif

Never meant "we" as claiming you sing it tbh. I use "we" as a collective term for us as Leigh fans. I don't sing it either.
You do need to look up what hypocrite means tho. I was very strongly in favour of P&R and totally against franchises until about 2006 season where I started to come round to the idea that something had to done. Does that mean I'm a hypocrite about that too ? icon_smile.gif
Anyway lets see how the next home game goes, as the last one I don't recall it sung.

Quote: reet Mon !! "So upto now on the votes cast there is a total of 50 that either love it/sing it/ just a song and 34 that either thinks its bad for the image of club or think its terrible....

Figures dont lie.....
..or 44% should be considered a significant number of people, and maybe its time to sing it in da pub and leave it in stadium.

Maybe it is because the vast majority of Leigh fans like the song because they consider it harmless.

Regarding implying support for the Protestant terrorists well that is stretching it a bit. I happen to think all terrorist groups are beneath contempt and I would expect that to be the majority view too.
