This thread isn’t about Palace.
Why are you here then?

Its a thread about anthems. Your presence and jibes against BHA invited retaliation.
You've been here 1500 times, you should know how this works.
Maybe the big match on Saturday is getting to some? This Nigel isn't known for confrontation Easy.
He's not. But he's still here, biting. [emoji16]

If they didn't want confrontation, they wouldn't be here. But unlike some of their ilk, I don't tend to get personal.

I’ve read it all on here now, a Brighton fan thinks Borussia Dortmund might be‘Tin Pot’ over one song they sing.
Lost for words.
Surprised at who posted it mind, have I misunderstood a certain nuance?
Agreed! TBH I don't think we can accuse anybody of being tinpot all the time we need to have the words of our own song on the screen for our own fans to learn. In terms of tin pottery this is almost Reading!
Very much this.
Please, please, please lose the words. Unnecessary and well, a bit shit.

Unless someone has already said - I believe it was Celtic fans who first came up with YNWA, then it was adopted by Liverpool. Many clubs’ fans from the late 60s onwards sang it for their own teams.
All the while people sing "going up to win the cup" (not even the correct, wrong words: "going up and we'll win the cup"), the words on the screen are a sad necessity.
Indeed. Became the Liverpool fans' anthem when Liverpool band Gerry and the Pacemakers released a version. It's been copied by everybody since then.
Weirdly some Celtic fans think they adopted it first! Shows how gentrified football as become as there is absolutely no way working class Celtic fans in the 1960s (with already a rich variety of Irish rebel songs) would suddenly have started singing a song from a twee American musical.
Sadly, I agree. The bloke next to me still screws up Oh Sussex, Sussex by the sea, too - and it’s the first line he joins in with!

You should get over this. Nothing wrong at all with the words from SBTS being up on the screens.
They are obviously not there for the thousands of Albion fans who have been happily singing them for years. They are there for the away fans to see and any other visitors on the day.
We are one of very few clubs with an anthem worthy of such veneration.
Worse, I often now hear the North singing a version of the dirge that the palarse 'ultras' (nicked from somewhere and) 'popularised'. Puts my teeth on edge. Tinpottery of the 'stripes go marching in' variety. Stand by for 'Maybe it's because I'm a Brightoner'
