just after the London bombings our 'kop' sang to the Quoop fans ' you're just a town full of bombers' - they weren't happy - having said that about 10 years ago it was 'the norm' to tell the away fans they were a town full of something or other - the fatties from Hartlepool became 'you're just a town full of fat ****s' and far worse was the chant to Sheffield Wednesday ' you're just a town full of pakis' - so 10 years ago, yes, not forty - having said that it really is the odd dipshit who needs taking to a side, kicked out and banned
"You're just a town full of ..." is rarely going to be positive. Inbreds, smackheads (this from Scunthorpe fans!) etc = lower league bantz The whole DQPR thing stems from that day. Thin-skinned, a bit emotional and always in turmoil. Think some even tried to blame that chant for causing them to assault staff on trains and nick the booze on the way back. There was a period of about 15 years when every goal for the opposition was greeted with 'You're gonna get your ****in heads kicked in'.
If you think chanting 'not enough londoners dead' after a terrorist attack is just 'bantz' you're a disgrace.
Did anyone actually hear those chants at the game? I remember hearing about it afterwards from one of these red tops despite being at the game, and I'm sure when we've discussed it on here before everyone has said the same.
That was my point.... There was all sorts of accusations made. Talk of us having points deducted, the usual screechers overreacting and the press blowing hard on the embers. I think there was one 'You're just a town full of bombers' chant made. This has been discussed at length a few times.
no-one sang about not enough dead - that's just bollocks - Quoop fans have always been a bunch of fannies - best example was the pitch invasion when they drew with us when they celebrated getting promotion when they actually hadn't - on top of that they constantly sing ' we are the rent boys' or something that sounds like that
It wasn't. I thought long and hard about the hysteria caused by the chant 'You're just a town full of bombers'. I think I heard it, but only just. There is no doubt that if there had been a terrorist bomb in Hull the previous week, I could've been upset, especially if a loved one had lost their life. I would've been upset anyway and probably not been at the game. I could also have been tearful with a 'town full of smackheads' chant aimed at 'me', given the horror that smack can cause to an individual and their families. The bombers chant(murmer) was so puerile , the reaction caused was almost funny. The media overload after was pathetic. OK, so you think that I'm a **** that wants bombs to kill as many as possible. Well, **** you. (not aimed at EGD)
QPR fans, to be fair to them, contacted the papers which had reported that allegation to say that it was untrue. Which didn't stop Jill whatshername repeating the untruth some weeks later in the HDM. Going down like your trawlers, first sung by Leeds RL fans incidentally, wasn't Bantu but no one had a nervous breakdown over it and papers weren't full of it.
You are right about the murmur. I was sat in West Upper with my lad and the bloke sat next to me wondered why .QPR fans had got to upset about a chant about their sexual proclivities. It took a while for the penny to drop as it was hardly deafening.
Not sure how you would draw that conclusion...it was never ever chanted I was in E2 alongside E1 in the noisiest section The bombers 'chant' was actually about half a dozen people, if that, who started singing it for a few seconds and because everyone else in the area thought it **** it never took off...you hear with other unrelated chants every week. Someone starts something, if it's funny or people like it then it takes off...often, and on this occasion, it didn't take off Some DQPR fans sat near us will have briefly heard it, it was a **** chant in poor taste, and that was why it died immediately The claim there was a song about not enough Londoners dying was, as far as I am aware, a complete lie. (And has someone said earlier I can't imagine what tune it would have been sung to either)
I'm not sure why you're so keen to play it down, it happened, end of. It doesn't matter how many people sang it or how long it lasted, it was wrong and shouldn't have happened. Was it the worst chant to ever occur in a football stadium? Almost certainly not, but it was still wrong and an embarrassment for the club.
Doesn't make it right though does it? If people kicking up a fuss and the papers reporting on it stops it then surely thats a good thing?
Reporting chants which didn't happen is wrong. Some people are convinced because of these reports that something which never happened did. You for one.
Reporting on what? The chant that did happen and was in poor taste, or the chant that never happened, but the media fabricated and you just repeated when you questioned why people thought it (the imaginary chant) was 'bantz'
