How can the way I feel about football be bollox, that does not make sense as you don’t know me so can’t possibly know how I feel about things. I didn’t have a go at anyone for doing it I think I said “each to their own” I do agree that you can have a feeling for a club if you do not have a local team and follow the one you feel something for, but excluding the guy who was from Liverpool, the other have a southern accent, they can’t say they don’t have a local club to follow. I don’t understand it, that is all. I also don’t understand how people can like mustard, that is also true and not bollox.

My view entirely. I expressed it less aggressively, but I do agree with you.

Ill-informed comment there. Thatcher never told the nation to 'get on their bike and look for work'. Many other vile things that vile woman did and said, but that wasn't one of them.
On the other hand, if you were to attribute the quote to Norman ******** Tebbitt................

YNWA is insufferable cack.
Any Albion fan caught holding thier scarf and joining in (plenty of those in the Lewis Dunk OG game) should have all loyalty points taken away and sent to live in Manchester. Harsh I know but I will never get the love for that song by other fans of other teams.

I stand corrected. As the years pass the memory fades. I do remember huge numbers of Scousers coming to Eastbourne.

Almost every team used to sing it... even up to mid 80s... it was sung with gusto hone and away at Albion games during that time.

Indeed we did. Joined in in the North Stand (with my scarf held high) many times in the 1970s. As you say every club used to sing it, in fact some Celtic fans (not a particularly bright lot admittedly), think they started it and Liverpool copied them!
Some stupid women in front of me told me to be quiet when they sung so she could respect, RESPECT, their tradition. Didn't take too kindly to the explanation I lectured her on. stupid bint.
Really ? Wow. We should be drowning it out with GOSBTS.

And some football fans (not a particularly bright lot admittedly) think that the song originated in 1963 with Liverpool band Gerry & The Pacemakers (hence it's popularity there) not knowing that it's in fact a Rogers and Hammerstein song from the 1945 box-office smash "Carousel". Just saying.

Hmm, maybe some, but I remember when it was released everybody (or very nearly everybody anyway) knew it was by Rodgers and Hammerstein, or at least 'that song from Carousel'. I don't remember any attempt to pass it off as an original?
