'Crude' songs at Palace?

Medders

Reading a few 'your comments' on the official site, and see a few complaints about crude songs being sung at Palace... I'm really struggling to think of what it could be. Might be wrong, but I don't remember the wheels on the bus getting an airing...

Any ideas?

You're joking? We sing that to loads of teams...!

I loved the "I would rather be a moron than a c**t" song being aired on the concourse before the game. Didn't hear it repeated during the game though. Shame, I would have joined in that one with some gusto.

"The Medders Family, duh duh duh"

northstandsteve

to be fair chaps i sit in upper north towards east stand and when you lot who wont sit down sing it you cant hear the words from where we are only can make out the tune.So anybody who dont sit near you will be the same.Got to say I loved it and it really pissed of Palace with 2500 people singing it.We don't get that many singing it at home.

Have just found this, posted by "Oi Henry", on another board.... please tell me we're not apologising????? ;-)

"Palace chants

It was the 'Adams Family' chant and I must say it was overly crude. The club have today written to Simon Jordan and the Board at Crystal Palace to apologise. I am also pushing for a public apology to appear in the Norwich programme.

Just the mindless minority ruining it for the rest of us again."

Are you referring to this blokes comments Medders ?

Why were you all standing?
The speaker system asked several times for you all to sit down!
My wife and myself, plus God alone knows how many children, older fans and shorter people could not see the match!
We pay for our tickets the same as all the other fans and deserve to see the match.
As usual, it's the selfish minority that spoil it for others.
We purchased season tickets to Charlton because it is a very family oriented club with great fans and an incredible atmosphere.
Is it possible that the away fans are a different group?
Some of the chants were very crude and upsetting, and I wonder what effect they have on the children that look to the adults for guidance, I saw some children watching and copying the adults.
I find it worrying and hope that this behaviour does not continue and become worse.
However, very pleased that we won!
Was Danny Mills man of the match? I thought so.

I cant work out why people like this go to football matches

tell you what tho, i do find that one hard to sing, its too fast the way we sing it, infact all our songs are as if we are on spped! Even VFR has got faster from when i remember singing it years ago! but i make you right nss, it did sound good at palarse, der der der duh......

Medders

Yeah Shag, that's one of them...

MCS

Where was this Medders? All news to me.

Medders

Have you been cloned Henners?

Henry Irving

Yes I have. how pathetic is that.

NorthStandUltra

The Simon Jordan takes it up the arris song probably is one of those deemed crude....

This might be a bit controversial, but Palace away was always going to be a bit different to the usual away day experience, so the fella moaning about people standing for 90 minutes etc needs to lighten up a bit. I understand that he's paid his money and is therefore entitled to his opinion, but I think he should realise that not every away match is like Saturday.

Sorry, but his comments have annoyed me. Too many people at The Valley now say Siddarn, I have two people behind me who tut when I stand for a corner at the covered end.

Rant over!

Oh I wonder who that could be Ben? Oinky / Hoggers..... How sad!

You should email Trev and tell him as he could post something potentially embarrassing for the club, if people assume that its coming from you!

Make you right there Dan. I just assumed straight away that it was the genuine Henners...

Most likely is one of those wankers.

I've e-mailed Trev so will wait to see what he does.

BTW Richard Redden and Addickted had a short exchange of views over this last night.

Can't say it's the most tasteful thing I've every heard and I won't sing it but I've heard a lot worse from Charlton and others.

This sort of thing makes me so f*cking angry.

If you don't like the swearing and the standing and the 'crude' songs then don't go to football. It's like going to a strip club and complaining that some of the girls are dancing in an indecent manner.

Bloody 'Sky-post-Euro96-fans' who think the game should be treated like a night at the opera. If you don't like it p*ss off back to Twickenham. Grrrrrrrr.

some crudity is par for the course but maybe the words to the ****** family take things a bit too far .... I tried not to partake but thnik I did a couple of times

cfgs

My kids are just coming up to the age that will see them begin to accompany me to the valley. At the moment i sit in the Lower North (F block) as I have done in the same seat for over ten years now. I will take my kids into my environment quite happily and will tell them that bad language is acceptable in certain places and this is one of them. But tell them not to tell their mum.

LargeAddick

Whatever way you dress it up Saturday was always going to be like it was. My parents realised that, realised that they'd have to stand all game, realised the language would be worse than normal and so did the sensible thing and didn't go. I think everyone, except this person, knew what they were going to get and either went or didn't. If this guy had been sensible he'd have stayed away and taken his boy to Coventry or Preston or wherever. If he'd had people standing persistantly in front of him at one of these games I'd be on his side and the language and these games would be far tamer. Hopefully, it doesn't put him off going again and I'm sure it'll be a more pleasant experience next time round. BTW, if the Club apologise to the Orange Twat I'll be seriously disappointed. Can't see it though.

Henry Irving

Large, that thing about an apology is someone pretending to me. No substance in it at all.

PassItToLeaburn

Unless they've changed them from the normal then I really don't see that it's more offensive than the majority of football songs.

Just get a bit sick of the 'fun police'. Looking to santise and standardise everything. Yes, we are a family club but on an away day to Palace, espeically when it's had the build up that this one had, surprise surprise there's going to be some swearing, some standing and doubtless some songs concerning the same sex bedroom activites of a certain orange chairman and the inter family unit breeding of his followers.

Any football fan knows this, and if you're of a sensitive disposition to this kind of stuff then don't go. Football fans have always used swearing and black humour, I really wish people would get over themselves sometimes.

(And for the record I hate the song, I think it's toss but that's not the point!).

We had a brief chat about this swearing lark with hillsy saturday.

When you take kids to football you know there will be an element which you cannot control basically you get the message across that what you hear at football are not to be repeated outside of football.

and as for you henry thats just the kind of language there complaining about tutt tutt ;-)

Weegie Addick

If you really want to hear some bad language at football, try going to a match in Scotland! I hadn't realised quite how sanitised The Valley had become until I went to Easter Road a while back. Took a bit of getting used to, but it was all just part of the banter.

Al the Addick

I really can't understand some people, Saturday was the best support I can remember in a long time. This is the problem that we will always have with seats only as with standing at least you could move about a bit.
