Its a corner chant

Thu Mar 17, 2022 11:47 am

Is it just me or does anyone else find it cringey and shit?
Was kind of a fun thing in Russell slade days and trollope etc when we couldn't win a corner. But imo now its gone and I hate it every time I hear it

Lee, excuse my apparent ignorance on this one, but I can't say I've ever noticed a 'corner' chant?

Lots of funny 'handball' shouts after the dodgy Stoke support tried to claim one last night, though

I still can't fault the traditional BLUEBIRDS chant whilst pointing to the corner they are about to take it from.

Yes the handball did go on fir good couple minutes last night. Which is quite funny on times. Most corners we get we have a little oooh its a corner oooh its a corner chant mainly small section but to me I don't know why I just find it irritating :lol:

Thanks, Lee :thumbup:

Possibly a 'localised' chant in the Canton? I'm not near the corners :ayatollah:

We’ve got one, the corner chant! I’ve never heard of it either :laughing6:

Although I do agree, it would be good if we could have a dedicated “chants and songs” topic on here maybe? Stickied and just updated throughout the season.

Yes I hear it every time we have a corner.
I can’t see the relevance of it now that we’ve moved away from McCarthys style of playing for a set piece. It doesn’t annoy me but it’s a bit pointless now imo.

It's that bloody Three Little Birds dirge that really gets my goat.

You can guarantee that when you hear "Don't worry, about a thing" that it's already too late as everything has usually gone to shit before that crap gets an airing.

Re: Its a corner chant

If they do sing it I have never heard from the grandstand and i make about 90% of home games

Re: Its a corner chant

There's a guy who regularly starts this chant on the front left hand side of the Canton stand...we call him the corner guy.

First heard it in the Grange end when Toshack was our striker circa 1970 so I like it for that reason

I just wish the fans could sing the whole song and not the same couple lines on repeat. Considering Ajax nicked it from us they do it 100x better than we do

Not at all, we played them in a friendly at Ninian Park and sang it. The Dutch loved it and took it back to Amsterdam with them and made it their club’s anthem.

The chant goes back to the late sixties/early seventies, the days of Toshack and Clarke, when we were pushing for promotion to the old First Division, probably the hey day of the old enlarged Grange End. As I remember it was chanted with a bit more aggression than the current version.

Yeah , cringeworthy. GSTQ like their all Royalists who believe in God. Pull the other one. Maybe we should respond with “He’s one of your own, Prince Andrew he’s one of your own” :ayatollah:

Actually seems like I was wrong :oops: I’ll admit I only scanned the vid and saw a clip of Ninian park and Ali at Cardiff market so assumed it was a Cardiff chant first. Rewatching the full thing it turns out Ali played it over the speakers and the Ajax fans sang along so it seems we did nick it off them.
Regardless, I’d prefer our fans sang the full version. I feel like it shouldn’t be too hard as most people know the words.

Think we had some better songs back then, His name is Jimmy Scoular he's the leader of the blues, We don't carry razors, If I had the wings of an angel. and more.

Re: Its a corner chant

We have a few other chants we should think about stopping before worrying about its a corner.

The ‘hyms Yn Arias’ one for starters. Hate it.

Yep great days. I used to love "Those were the days". In fact it was our song for a while. The back of the Grange End would be bouncing literally -how those old wooden terraces didn't collapse I will never know!
