The Bewilderedbeast Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Lavety was probably playing for Clydebank at the time, can recall a group of guys singing it in the Sinclair Street end and holding up a big letter E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Not particularly "sick" but I always liked the "there's only 2 andy gorams" chant we sang up at ibrox in the cup. Maybe that is seen as sick these days, what with all the mental health awareness stuff going on. I found it pretty funny at the time tho. A guy on my facebook had a go at me when he learned that I'd started that one. No idea whether he had mental health issues or if it was because of someone he knew - I thought he was on the wind-up. I did point out that in reality, Goram likely only suffered from "lazy b'st'rd" syndrome. Also annoys me that Killie fans got the credit for it the week after. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

LargsTON Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Sung to Barry Lavety at Cappielow after his "drugs scandal" There's only one E in Lavety, one E in Lavety Lavety was probably playing for Clydebank at the time, can recall a group of guys singing it in the Sinclair Street end and holding up a big letter E. Sounds like you took more drugs throughout the 90s than Lavety did. "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the contrary, Andy Goram suffers from a mild form of Schizophrenia, which was reported in the Daily Record at the time. This was the reason for the song in the first place, and If you did start that song as you claimed, you would have known the background of why that song was being sung. His illness is quite a bit different from being a 'lazy bstard', he did have his problems but even his detractors couldn't deny that he was a great keeper. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His illness is quite a bit different from being a 'lazy bstard', he did have his problems but even his detractors couldn't deny that he was a great keeper. I knew nothing of his illness whatsoever. There were quite a few other chants aimed at him that day, only one caught on. No arguement about his goalkeeping from me. Edit - I appeared to quote you twice. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up.

Toby Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Goram was in the news at the time as he’d pulled out of Scotland’s important Euro ‘96 qualifier against Greece, claiming he wasn’t “mentally attuned†whilst managing to play in Rangers’ (RIP) Champions League qualifiers against Anorthosis Famagusta around the same time, which naturally irked fans of clubs like ourselves. I’d say rather than being lazy, or the explanation about his mental well-being that was doing the rounds at the time, he was encouraged by his club to prioritise a vital European game which his club depended on financially. Not to worry, all’s we’ll that ends well. Scotland made the Euros anyway, and in spite of Rangers making it to the group stages of the Champions League that year, they’re now a corpse, lying six foot under. Get it up them.

TRVMP Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Changed days when you think that his pulling out of the Scotland squad caused a scandal at the time. Now we can barely scrape bodies together to go to Mexico and nobody bats an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRVMP Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Slightly different scenario though. True, one was competitive and the others weren't, but even so I don't remember players habitually pulling out in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El gofer Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 True, one was competitive and the others weren't, but even so I don't remember players habitually pulling out in the past. It happened all the time. Rangers and Celtic players have done it for years. Part of the controversy around Derek Johnstone going to 78 world cup was around him having pulled out of squads. It has been common with regards to friendlies since I can remember. 20.1.09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Fergie would put a lot of pressure on Brian McClair to pull out of Scotland squads in the early 1990s and the Scotland support never really took to him as a result. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capitanus Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Celtic have a very sick song about the Ibrox disaster "The Rangers end was empty, they all fell down the stairs". I once knew a Rangers supporter who would on occasion sing to the tune of Joe Dolce's 'Shut up your face' a song which began "48 Dead in a Dublin Discotheque..." In reference to the Stardust Disaster. Very sick indeed. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both pretty horrid Probably was sick but it's just as sick as the Rangers fans glorifying him for no reason other than he was in an army that didn't behave very well in a country they don't like.
