"Poverty Chanting"

[mexico1970]

People who are paying £50 a ticket to watch football shouldn't be offended by someone else saying they can't afford a potato.

Scousers really are a breed of their own, and anyone taking moral tips from the woman beating pisshead wants to have a word with themselves.

From the same peoples that thought it a laff to regularly open folk up with their snide shiny metallics bitd

...get to fuck​

Callymore is a dick.
I fully supported the Miners strike in the 80’s but it didn’t stop me chanting
‘Arthur Scargill is a wanker, is a wanker”
and
“Get to work you lazy twats….”
at opposition supporters (most of whom had never been down a pit) every time City played a team from Yorkshire. I knew what I was chanting I didn’t believe in but it was a piss take that’s all.

Exactly. That's all it is - a piss take. If people think that those singing it are genuinely sneering at the poorest in society then they clearly don't get regionalist football banter. We get town full of smackheads thrown at us. Burnley and Stoke get town full of inbreds. Yorkshire clubs get "sheep sheep, sheepshaggers", etc. etc

I hope it keeps being belted out. It’s merely a piss take, only scousers would get offended by a song.

That's a great post to be fair to you. "(town name) is a shithole, I want to go home" is every bit as offensive as "Do they know it's Christmas time?" - i.e. not at all. It's a laugh.

 

[levets]

That's how I remember it.

He's only a poor little scouser
His face is all tattered and torn
He made me feel sick
So I threw him a brick
And now he's not singing no more

‘Hit him with a brick’ … as I remember

Don’t hear the Welsh moaning that the English accuse them of bestiality.

Scousers are so delicate.

Must be that famous scouse sense of humour they all have

Hope there's a massive backlash and its now sung even louder at every game in defiance to this pathetic attempt to outlaw something else that doesnt need it.

Nobody is fucking laughing at people struggling to feed themselves or their family. I feel like anybody taking it literally and not choosing to take offence purely so that they can be offended, has never been to a game before and possibly has never stepped outside either. It feels like everybody has turned into a yank that doesnt get it all of a sudden.

I don’t get it

If the Scousers had any clue they'd start singing brother can you spare a dime or something and just take the piss out of being mocked thus completely neutralising it

Posted without apology!

Watching that clown angry Ginge the sour rag , grovelling to Everton fans after singing feed the Scousers song, an Everton fan found a clip of Ginge in his rising damp bedroom a ha ha ha ha

Don’t get me started on the not even z list YouTubers, cunts like goldbridge and the clickbait merchant Jennings need wiping from the internet

 

[roach3]

Hahahahahaha

I do disagree with the chant though, ‘feed the scousers’.

Sends an awful message and I just don’t condone it.

I’d starve the fucking rats. Wouldn’t give them a rich tea biscuit covered in dog shit.

You nearly had me till I read the last lines

Its the out of town dippers who chose the club because of 70s and 80s success that are the absolute weirdos. They buy into The Cult much more. Not saying the local ones arent odd balls, they are, but its the glory hunter ones that are strange

As I’ve said before on here I work with the scousers and tbh outside of football talk they are a decent lot, it I regularly see Everton fans singing murderers
It can get tasty
Also I did get some dodgy looks when I first started as I used to take the sun to read at break. Lol

 

[roach3]

As long as they want heroin sandwiches?

I’m sorry Mooners but there’s been rivalry between Mancs and Scousers for as long as I’ve known. My mum is from Manchester and I visited for years to see the family and then City before becoming a student at Man Met. I’ve also lived in Liverpool before getting my place here.

I know South Wales well. Swansea v Cardiff no different etc.

Are you actually a scouse city fan mate?

Yep agree with all of that. Supported the miners put money in the buckets chanted "Get to work you lazy twats", songs aniut Sheep shagging. I was actually born on the wrong side of the hill before we moved to Glossop (and my late Mum was from Yarkshire) and I sang songs about Yarkshire and sheep. Its a piss take! I actually like Yarkshire as a county (but loathe their racist cricket club with a passion), lived there for years after being a student and I don't recall anyone in Sheffield or Baarnsley or Rovrum getting upset by regional jipes. Only bloody Mickey Mousers particularly of the red variety.

A wet fanny I think is the best description of that poster.

One of my chickens went missing. Poor Misty. She was bluey grey and shimered in sunlight. Loved to sit ay my feet. I should really send flowers, just in case she made it to Merseyside, good effort. Gone but not forgotten Misty. I miss the eggs too, so many double yokers.
