The Wrong Song on the Terrace

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Big Chants
We love them at the game
Getting behind the team
Urging the players on
Bit of banter, aye
Passion…

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 But in this so called Beautiful Game
When is chanting about a vile paedophile
Acceptable banter?

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 We do not laugh at the deaths of 96 fans
We do not make jokes about the flowers of Munich
And those who do are quite rightly called out

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 The inclusivity of football
Is a rainbow lace
But not one openly gay premiership footballer

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Lips service to racism sexism and homophobia

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 The love that dare not speak its name
Not in this game,
Fat Chance.

Notes

Leeds Utd v Man Utd – 12/02/2023
Ruined by the usual vile and obscene chants about Savile.
