Just like the “Knick , Knack , Paddywack “ song does to me , it is cutting through to the core of emotions which makes it great.
I remember when the rags penned it thinking that it was near the knuckle this one , but that is the point of a terrace chant - it’s tribal and meant to be that way.
The key word which makes this acceptable in my eyes is “ never”.
That is what hurts them because , deep down, they know it’s true.
They hate it that much , they are trying to link it to that awful tragedy .
The song is about it never being your fault and that rings true to me.
Always going to get aired this one and rightfully so.
