AlfieMoon Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 My first memories of Scotland games are the Italia ‘90 campaign games at Hampden when I was 6/7 year old. The old songs/chants of the day I remember: - Here we go, here we go, here we go 😆 - Mo, Mo, Super Mo - Super Ally - We hate Jimmy Hill - We’ll walk a million miles What other old songs pre-date that era?

It was song at Fulham a few years ago outside the ground, nigeria game. Far too many lyrics to be song on masse at the stadium. Also heard folk moan because it mentions the Queen but its i think its a cracking tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Where's the bracelet? Where's the bracelet? Where's the bracelet, Bobby Moore? In your handbag, in your handbag, You're a woman, Bobby Moore. When we played Australia in 85, we were all singing "If you hate Rolf Harris clap your hands" for ages. TA ahead of the game there....

glasgow jock Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 A good one sang back in the 1970's from a dust chocked Rangers end (as it was known back then) "You're gonnae get your fuckn head kicked in" followed by claps 😄sticks in my head for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burj_Alba Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Before 1974 world cup we had Six foot two, eyes are blue Big Jim Holton's after you Da da da da da da. Or we have Willie, Willie Morgan on the wing on the wing. Willie, oh Willie Morgan, oh Willie Morgan on the wing Pity there are no wingers these days to replicate the song.

HighlandScot Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 For long I have thought the "Keep right on to the end of the road" chorus to make a great Scotland chant. It starts off low in the register, but gradually moves up the scale, rising to a crescendo with "Where all you love that you're deaming of". And then the last line has a great rhythm "Will be there" pause "at the end" pause "of the road". It is easy to sing, and very dramatic. Plus an iconic Scottish song, so we do not have to borrow from another culture. Plus the words are a great metaphor for having a fighting spirit in the face of adversity. Also, like another earlier poster, I would like to hear a return of "Get In Tae Them". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the fans dress like Harry Lauder, so we might as well sing his songs. Edited November 26, 2023 by Orraloon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
