The problem is that the more fuss that is made over that song, the more likely fans will continue to sing it. I agree with comments about it and apart from being offensive it's so stale. Like I said, they are only singing it to wind complainers up now.
Alright easy, be my guest if you wanna start it 5 times hell make it 10, it doesn't bother me THAT much all I've stated is that it's not one of my favourite songs and yeah preferably maybe I wouldn't want it sung but it's nowhere near as bad as the incest song which actually does piss me off.
My young son will for instance ask -"what are they singing Daddy" and I will reply "Sheep Shearers. because they do a lot of that in teheir part of the world". I have spend a fair bit of time cleaning up some of the songs. I don't really have a problem with my son hearing swear words - I just ask him not to use them which he sticks to. If you try to hide swearing from kids it becomes more exotic to them.
Note to self........Start Incest song 10 times next game
Cheer up you all moan tooooo much.......If you dont like the songs or chants then move over to the East or West stands, Get out your book and read it for 90 mins like the rest.....
Beats singing MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLL for 90 mins!
and people wonder why the valley is passionless and quiet back in the good old days of the nth stand it used to be block e and f singing their bollox off now it is full of people who say dont sing that dont do this
The we all follow the Charlton song should be banned as its sung to the tune of Land of hope and glory and this may offended. Build a confire should be banned as people could get hurt in a fire The famous Tottenham hotspur went to Rome to see the p*pe should be banned as it offends Catholics We are the Charltons boys violent song ban it Again Get into them f**k em up promotes violence and should be banned
as is away in a manger no crib for a bed
the little lord jesus popped his head up and said
WE hate Palace and we hate palace
i wish that those now when we are getting the number of fans through the gate in div 3 that we could have only wished for in the old barclays 1st division madfe as much noise as us few back then the place would be a terrific atmospheric stadium
the C A F C chant makes us sound like pussies but the song is being sung in support of my team and therefore although i wont sing it i wont tell people to stop far from it
sing your effing heads off and be proud and sing it
we had a small band of gobby nthners giving it to us this wknd just gone nly about 150 or so singing but absolutley out sung 13k of home fans
Personally I think we should take the opposite view to this thread, think we should make the ground much more hostile & venomous for the opposition. Even if it means just whistling when the oppo has possession everyone can join in that no words to learn etc.
All this cannot sing this, cannot sing that is complete sh*te in my opinion. Football songs & the atmostphere at football are one of the things that make the game great. Try watching a game of football at home on telly & mute the sound & tell me it's the same, it aint.

that bit I agree with. The atmosphere has dropped over the years, people used to come to the Valley and comment on how loud the fans were and I was proud of that. We need to be united but the opinions of people is important to take into consideration if you want that unity. I personally HATE 'Oh South London' I sing loud and proud with throughout the match but I shut up when that one is started, It is sexist and disrespectful to the thousands of female supporters it may have been ok 30 years ago when there wasn't that many women going to matches but it needs to get with the times.

Wouldn't this make us as bad as Millwall?? Yes we should be louder, we should be more unified but to show our support to our team and to give the players spirit to play their best, not to be scare mongers. Taking the p**s out of the opposition is great fun and wouldn't dispute it I do it myself but why do they need to be intimidated and scared to come? (there are children and elderly away supporters for christ sake). Let them walk out and say 'wow they are some loud supporters wish we were like that at home', not 'I wonder if it's safe to leave and get the train?'

other than that get a f**king life.
Are you mental?
OH SOUTH LONDON has been sung for years and years by our fans.
Why on earth stop singing it?
Because it upsets you?
Aww poor Forzeybaby.
Get a grip pal. Saying that you dont want to hear it is just stupid.
The song will be sung long after you have stopped going to games.
* Note to self , start "OH SOUTH LONDON" at least 5 times at the next home game*
Then again there's only 5 Charlton supporters still alive who remember big Dave.
;o)
lol ...and me, Len Glover, Badger and Lancashire Hotpot.
