It makes me cringe tbh so many teams across the works from all different sports sing it now and I may sound like a grumpy bugger but it irritates the hell out of me

How can it irritate you, its footballing heritage and passion in an absolute anthem of a song. Its footballs equivalent to Rugbys great anthem swing low. But each to there own.

Did you see it? These were all Liverpool fans from across Australia, New Zealand, including a good many scousers that live in Oz. My son was there and he said it was unbelievable.

Agree, but it was for a Liverpool game in this case.

Unreal. Have you watched the video? Quite how it makes someone 'cringe' is beyond me.

I wouldn't say it makes me cringe, but I do find it all a bit maudlin.

I was there lay night and I have to say, it was pretty special. I filmed YNWA on my phone from the members area. I'll upload it to YouTube later. The atmosphere after that wasn't too good though.

A lot of teams in England used to sing it including ourselves. Don't like it myself.
"You'll Never Walk Alone" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. In the second act of the musical, Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the female protagonist Julie Jordan, sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, kills himself to avoid capture during a failed robbery.

How very odd.
This.
"You'll NEVER walk alone" indeed. Spot on, it's just that we are 13,000 miles away.
Actually, when I put it that way, it does make me cringe afterall.

For Brighton fans of a certain age it is ironic this song gets slagged off when it used to be sung regularly several times a game at The Goldstone with the blue and white scarves aloft and at all other football grounds around the country.

I knew I'd be going against the grain and some may find it odd, I just think its been done to death and overdone by hundreds of different clubs fair enough if it was a Liverpool game though tbf I didn't know but I remember someone posting a video of Celtic fans singing it I just think its been done to death and has lost a bit of its 'meaning'

I think that is fantastic.
I know not everyone on here has a lot of time for Celtic (which we don't need to argue about now) but this is always my favourite memory of You'll Never Walk Alone, against Barcelona in the Europa League in 2004, which was the day of the Madrid bombings that morning and UEFA had insisted the game go ahead (I know there's no love lost between the Catalans and Madridistas but obviously a lot of Barca's Spanish players had connections to there etc).

95% of Australian fans support 5% of English teams.
Would have been the first time most of those plastics had a chance to sing the song at a Pool match.
