Is it too much to ask

That we can sing songs about the new guys without disrespecting them? We already know that Raza doesn't like being known as Gucci or varients and songs about Piotr including references to Parsley would also be similar in my opinion. It's the same with the Wilson song and although he acknowledged it and smiled at Oxford we know from other players that it had actually upset him.

We are there to support the players. Let's do so but not by disrespecting them in the process.

    My point exactly, he hated that song. I know as I asked him at a POTY dinner.

    Nothing wrong with a bit of banter, unless we want the covered end all singing "The red red robin" whilst banging their tambourines.

    Oh I agree Shirty but there is no point singing a song about a playing calling him Gucci if you already know he doesn't like it. What help would that do? Sing something supporting him, something humourous if possible, but why disrespect him on purpose.

    I agree with Large. Why would anyone do it if they're aware the player it's aimed at doesn't like it? Surely the point of chanting at specific players on your team is to raise their morale, not lower it.

    The word 'banter' has been used, so this discussion is pretty much over now.

    Me too, but that's not really the point is it? The point is it's easily avoidable, and there's no benefit to it, so why do it?

    As Aiden says, is it better to:

    a) sing a song that a player likes which builds a bond between player and fans and inspires him to do his best for us, or,
    b) sing a song that gives the impression we don't value their feelings at all, demotivating them.

    Hmm....I wonder which of these conflicting strategies is likely to give us the best chance of avoiding relegation this season......

    It ain't rocket science, is it?
