They …. would love to hear this from the terraces, the players, the media

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We know you don’t make the rules
But have to blithely follow them like fools
We might turn the air so blue
But trust your every decision is true

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 We’re sorry, so sorry
We’re sorry it’s come to this
We’re sorry, so sorry
We’re sorry that we take the ****

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 No matter what top you wear
Green, black or juni-per
We really must comply
Not wonder so vehemently why

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 We’re sorry, so sorry
So sorry, we’re sorry

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 And under your watchful gaze
With or with-out replays
We have to accept
That you are the most adept

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 We’re sorry, so sorry
So sorry, we’re sorry

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 And when your whistles blow
We all ought to show
More respect
But you detect

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Sarcasm, sarcasm
Sarcasm, yes we take the p***
Sarcasm, sarcasm
Sarcasm – it can’t go on like this

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 And so to right our wrongs
We apologise with songs

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 We’re sorry, so sorry
We’re sorry it’s come to this
We’re sorry, so sorry
We’re sorry for conduct remiss

Notes

now try singing it to the brilliant tune of
“They” by Jem – just can’t get that song out of my head!
(Wouldn’t it have sold millions more, if it had had a memorable title?)

Dedicated to all referees everywhere
