I’ve been no angel in the past when its comes to terrace chants but I’m learning from that now. But I do feel that scum is a strong word that describes a vile set of people. I was stood with the Wigan crowd tonight and a majority where very nice people that I came across apart from one fowl mouth individual who thinks we’ll all find our wives in a field one of these days.

Anyways I think as a club we should work to outlaw this old and tired song as it is not setting a good example to our young ones and certainly does not represent a family game. With so many songs out they we should be able to create new ones that are more friendly.

If you like to use violence in your voices then please use it in your own time and not in a family crowd. I’m vile on Youtube with some of the things I do. But when its around kids you won’t spot me associating myself with such thug like self.

So it was you in the Wigan End, did I wave at you, some many fans shouting HOMER, HOMER, Besides the one fowl mouthed idiot, I agree many wanted a "HIGH FIVE"

Homer

You are not funny. Tiresome infact.

Time to drop it.

hate that song

So you did not see me at the match then, I assume you went??

Glad you managed to get on here before the whole Loz and his mates bandwagon gets rolling as I knew you wouldn’t approve of it anyways.

I think a majority in the south stand when that song gets sung common sense just goes away.

Needs to get rid of it ASAP!

i think an occasional poster on here needs a round of applause for the "Its a long way back to wigan.." chant



oh i know some people around me sing it, i dont, i wouldnt want to shoot any member of the RL family

It is a long way back to Wigan thou, Ha Ha, D'oh

An old guy from the back of the Western Terrace came up with this gem of a comment after that chant: "well, at least we didnt breed the ripper"





oh and i hate the 'shoot the *insert team name* scum' song as well...wants getting shut of IMO

In response to the comment about the ripper, we did not breed him, if my memory is not playing tricks he comes from a dump called Bradford.

I wasn't impressed with some of the behaviour last night. We don't want to turn into football.

And even then they didn't have a town meeting and then all decide toget together and launch a eugenics programme with the intention of creating a warped serial killer.
It is a dump though, I'll give you that.

That was twosevenzero who posts on RLfans, classic comment.

I was the old git with the daft multi coloured hat.

Agreed. I was at the match with the present Mrs BR, who asked was there any need for such a chant.

Time it was binned.

Agree and I hate the song but getting rid just won't happen.

Agreed, i dont sing it anymore.

How about a change in lyics. Instead of:

go get your fathers gun
and shoot the <insert team name here> scum
Shoot the .....

have:

The leeds are number one
we're scoring tries for fun!
You'll be Leeds be Leeds!

I guess it's just me that is shocked that Damo has come up with a sensible post then?

The way I see chanting is we shouldn’t be chanting against the other team because its negative in a way. It should be all Rhino’s songs throughout the match to lift up the team.

Bob Bob Bobbing along shoot the b’stards, you only sing when your fishing, sign on sign on with a pen in your hand should be last resort chants when you’ve ran out of stuff to sing about your own team which you shouldn’t with the variety of inspiration you can get from music.

You don’t see the players disrespecting the other teams players in the build up to the match, at the match and after it. So why should we all disrespect each other in chanting. I know its only friendly banter but its shallow really. Stuff like this should be kept in pubs and should not creep into rugby league stadiums that promote a family air.

Its shallow and I’m sure some of you will agree with me it needs to stop!

I have a feeling me and you are going to become arch rivals

Amen to that.
