From Luxembourg. Attended games in England, NL, Germany, France, Belgium and Spain. Chanting is very common even more intense in Germany (less tourists in football stadiums) than England. And mocking of course, that’s part of the game. I love the cynical aspect in England and Belgium. Prohibition to engage in abusive or racist chanting is now finally seriously taken care of in most places.

From a young age, we have a lot of experience singing together during school assemblies. Often singing rude versions to annoy the teachers. Every British school kid knows these tunes by heart, and they are often used as a base for football chants, too. That and insulting each other is a national tradition. These songs come very naturally!

My favourite post on this subject ever is: American Sports fans: "De-fense! De-fense!" British Sports fans: "All right lads, I've just worked up a song to the tune of Debussy's Claire de Lune about an opposing player's drunk driving charge. I'llcount us off!" The best ones are just so easy to pick up once a few fans have kicked them off, and everyone joins in. I also have no interest in footbal (or any sport competition), but a good chant is worth listening to- as long as you can avoid the truly offensive ones.

Lots of football fans put the reduction of singing at football matches down to all seater stadiums.

There is no longer a set of tunes that everyone knows to set words to which makes the whole thing harder

Great video Alanna. Some chants are specific to a club, either being sung by them or sung by different fans aimed at one club in particular, but '...fire drill?', 'four nil, how s**t must you be' (other score lines are available lol), etc can literally be sung by any fan base - and they are very generally sung with a lot of enthusiasm. A lot of chants are taken from popular songs, aimed at players of their own club or at opposing players. Unfortunately for some there is also 'tragedy chanting' which is totally uncalled for but aside from that, literally anything is fair game...both your own club and whoever they are playing.

On a related tangent (very mildly related :) I was at a Bad Manners concert back in 1990 or thereabouts and as the gig as about to start, the whole audience started chanting "YOU FAT B-" for nearly ten minutes which was a surprise to me. This chant was aimed at Buster Bloodvessel, the lead singer of the band and, turns out he wasn't coming on stage until they'd declared their love for him in this manner for quite a while 😂 I was lucky enough to interview the fat bas- I mean, Buster after the gig, for the volunteer job I had at the time, and he was (and hopefully still is) a great guy 😊

Here's the thing Alana, many of the chants follow the same set of about 6-7 different base songs, so words can be interchanged as fit. Someone will start a song and even though the words may have been changed, it will still follow the same structure and therefore pretty much everyone will join in regardless because the song tune will remain. Some songs are developed in the foyers of the grounds or the local pubs too. But it's not like someone stands up and says "here my good fellows, what do you think about this ...." someone will say something which will get a huge laugh and a song may be developed

Hi Alanna, there's very little chanting at Rugby matches, there's an old saying, Football is a game for gentlemen, played by hooligans, Rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen, to a certain extent that carries over to the fans. If a Football player doesn't like a referees decision he will get into a shouting match with him. In Rugby the referees word is law, Recently retired Welsh referee Nigel Owens is a small, openly gay man who had the absolute respect of players a foot or more taller and twice the weight, he also had the trust of the International Rugby community. To the extent he was picked to referee an International match involving his own country. If you're interested, see "10 minutes of Nigel Owens being Nigel Owens".

There's about a dozen or set "tunes" or rhythms (Is there a fire drill is La Donna È Mobile etc) that are commonly used which allows any new chant to be quickly adopted. For new chants, someone will come up with it (or a group will think it up, usually in the pub) and then they'll start bellowing it repeatedly. If its any good other people will join in, and it will quickly be the whole stand doing it. If it's crap it will awkwardly peter out.

Bolton v Newcastle Utd 1990s . At this time Bolton were due to move to a new ground so the away end was sold off and partially built on - a shopping centre no less . Bolton took the lead 1-0 but we triumphed 1-3 and as the 3rd goal went in we started to sing - " Sing when ya shoppin you only sing when ya shoppin " 🤓

1:54 bit of both! Some are pre-written, shared round the supporters club group chat or pre-match meet up and then everyone starts singing it. Others are old stalwarts that have either been in football fandom generally or that club's fandom for years. And some are innovated at the match, but those will be new words on an existing formula. Sing it a few times at a match and if people like it, they join in.

Some chants are sort of pre-loaded stock footage, but others do happen spontaneously. I remember a game from the 70s being played in fog, where fans at one end of the ground heard the crowd roar because a goal had been scored, but they had to chant, "Who scored who scored??" to the other end of the ground because they couldn't see! 🤣

Yeah spot on, I went to a similar away game near Burnley, which is pretty much the other side of the country to me. The fog rolled in. Somehow our 1000 people crowd came up with "The Orcs in Mordor, see clearer than this", plus the obligatory "Have you ever seen the Sun?"". Good Times.

Great video, Alanna! You’re right about football/soccer chants in the US. They’re generally “mild” compared to the ones you showed us. The clubs, and the league (MLS), will eventually crack down on repeat bad behavior (especially if the game is on national TV). Nowadays, the only bad behavior (without any humor) is usually from parents at their kids matches.

It's a mixture of pre-written ones with some improvised ones sprinkled in. You normally set it to a well known tune like a pop song or nursery rhyme so people can pick it up easier if it's their first time hearing it. Club and player chants become well known pretty quickly by their match going fans. If you go to a match you can start a chant yourself and it'll be quickly picked up by the rest of the crowd if it's good or one of the well known ones.

1:31 You kinda hit the nail on the head. A supporter comes up with something and has a good few mates to sing it loudly with him, usually in a lull in the game and The Kop @ Liverpool for instance pick it up very quickly. Moving around so much I havent been to Anfield for a few years so the internet, fan sites etc may have made it much easier now. Same principal but now you dont have to be a group of mates in the boozer. Also, they are most likely to originate with travelling supporters, the ones that go to every away game. They are far more hardcore so shout out to them! Also, this is bound to create an argument but Liverpool are the team widely recognised to have started the song tradition by singing Beatles songs in the crowd in the 60's.

Even English cricket fans have some awesome chants. I remember after a Cricket World Cup that South Africa lost in the semis because Alan Donald did not run off the last ball, and England came to tour in South Africa. In the first test, as soon as Donald came onto the field the fans started with the following, sung to the tune of Da Doo ron-ron: " Alan Donald should have run, run-run Alan, run-run-run."

@oiyouoverhere1112 4 күн бұрын

Some chants are sung at every game and some are created on the spot due to a random circumstance, the guy next to you begins to sing along, then the next, then your entire row, the row in front, the row behind and then the entire stand is singing it, they pick up on it around the stadium and then, most of the stadium are singing it. There is a common song during a LIVE Sky broadcast, "Sky TV is f**king sh*t" which Sky try to dub during the match, because Sky will rearrange a match for TV coverage without giving a toss if it effects the fans who had tickets for the original date. Its mostly sung at Leeds United games, but its caught on with other clubs who are effected by rearranged games.

The game was Everton vs Manchester City. Everton lost 2-3 more or less sealing Man City’s title win.
