Ten German Bombers

Grandma70s

I find it an unpleasant and uncivilsed culture, which is why I always discouraged my sons from taking an interest. Luckily they never really did. My husband also loathed the football culture, so we were pretty much a football free house.

Each to their own.
I fully encouraged my sons (x2) interest in football, I spent many a happy hour on the touchlines when they were younger, great to be able to support them and their teammates. We all watch football from the comfort of our sofas these days!

Yes, I agree Callistemon, snooker and darts - ugh! All the same, I suppose there’s skill involved….but no vitality! 🎯🎱

Grandma70s - one of my daughters petitioned to have a girls football team at primary school. She was 8. She also led a campaign to have the top playground used for footie two days a week, the rest of the time for skipping and other sports not dominated by boys
We took them to see MUFC and were in the.happy crowds in the city when Utd won the treble. Happy happy days

Must admit that looking at the footage the Tartan army arriving with pipes and drums have the edge on any group of fans and any chants. They must be the most photographed and filmed as well.

Yes Glorianny the tartan tam o shanters with fake ginger hair poking out of them are charming.Also the Mel Gibson blue facepaint.

Callistemon21 I love snooker😍but darts, you have a point there.

I think you can't do away with insults in football chants altogether. Also although I'm not a liverpool supporter, the crowd at Anfield singing "you'll never walk alone" is incredibly moving to me, can almost bring tears to my eyes.But chants like "10 German bombers" & "Lizzie's in a box" are totally off subject & offensive & although I wouldn't advocate anyone being criminalised for them, I think fans singing these should be warned they're out of order. The most glorious spectator sport in the world IMO, it's never over till it's over & the underdogs can & do win against the odds time & again.

Perhaps this is the best sort of chant.
Scottish fans do The Slosh
