Definitely a couple of versions then. Ahh, this is how is starts isn't it? The fanbase becomes split between the 'Nifty Trickers' and the 'Best Player on the Pitchers'; we need a vote on merging the two. Best player on the pitch worked well until Sarce said his name wasn't pronounced itch, even though it should be. |

Possibly slightly tangential, but it’s absolutely mad to me that we don’t have any song for Croasdale, who I think is consistently our best player. I know it’s fairly random which players we manage to come up with a song for, but surely we can think of one? And by ‘we’ I mean ‘you lot’. I'm all for a bog standard 'There's only one Ryan Croasdale' for players without a unique song....it's better than nothing....same goes for Will Collar. |

Any chance of full version of 'United shit, City worse' ?
I'm thinking the bit of Arab Prince or whatever it is (apologise in advance to those that sing it regularly every game)

I'm thinking the bit of Arab Prince or whatever it is (apologise in advance to those that sing it regularly every game) That verse is: “The City’s got an Arab prince, And he has got more money than sense, But here’s the thing that is perverse, The wheels fall off, cause that’s their curse” And the Burnley one is something like: “Burnley play, In claret and blue, And they’ve got more fingers than me and you, But here’s the thing that gives them strife, Their mother is their sister, And their sister is their wife” Can’t remember the lyrics for the United verse, though, or the highly libellous one concerning Crewe… |

I think there's a place for both kinds of songs. The unique and more complex stuff is great because it gives us an identity, everyone joining in a loud rendition of The Scarf still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Having said that, we shouldn't lose sight of the need to make A BIG NOISE so the players know we're there and we're supporting them. That's where the generic chants have their place and can come into their own.

For making a good noise I really like hello hello we are the County boys song ( I know it's not original)but I really don't like the last bit about stamping on a Burnley fan, it should be so easy to change as well, we should have something we can all join in with, it won't matter that we're singing different words as some will still sing the crap words. |

They are just words though and no fan is ever going to act on them. Same as we are not the best team the world as ever seen and no one believes we are. |

Does that mean that Stockport town isn't full of t'ts, f@nny and County? I'm disappointed if so. |

They're just words but they're pretty sick words and I can tell you that I know of at least two incidents where knives have been used in County and Burnley games so don't be too sure about no fan ever acting on them, claiming to be the best team in the world is harmless. |

Didn,t know about those incidents but the feelings between both sets of fans are so strong it probebly would have happened without the song. Possibly accusing them of committing incest is far worse in my book as is the accusation of welsh and yorkshire fans being interested in sex with animals. Have clubs or a club have a song for us i wonder. |

Have clubs or a club have a song for us i wonder. I think it's not needed, I sit in lower tier 3 and quite often the singing reaches where I sit but tht's one song that people refuse to join in with, it wouldn't take much to make it acceptable and this is a thread about County song lyrics after all, so they're all just words. |

Right with you there. I don't sing that bit. Even for a football song that is too much as isn't the full line "until the f*cker dies"? Really should be changed. |

With both of you all the way on this, I don't like it at all. Right back to the 1970s I've never joined in with the racist, sectarian or pro violence songs and back then there were an awful lot of them. It's better now but there's still room for improvement. |

I was very anti-ultra when they first started to infiltrate EP. Not that enamoured now, but recognise that it is the way the young uns like to show their support for God's own team and they are carrying on the noisy tradition in their own way.
God forbid, anyone tried to tell me I could not sing "After the turn of the Century", "Those were the Days", "Streets of Stockport", "Super Kev", "Man from Uruguay". "The Anthem", "Arthur Brownlow", "When I was young and lazy", "Shit on Lou", "Oh Wigan", "Pride of Cheshire", "Les Bradd scored", "Beefheart Kicked", "Come on you County fans", "Who put the ball in Citehs net", "Crewe, Crewe yer barstewards Crewe", "United shit Citeh worse" et al.
It would be messy.
