I'm not complaining about any forum name.

Blue Kipper was a well thought out name and so is Grand Old team.

Stop side tracking this thread.

Genuinely don’t know the origin?

 

[MrGrumpy]

This might be unimportant in terms of the real problems we're face with at the club at the moment, but it's getting on my nerves and I have to speak out.

Over the past 12 months or so the club have placed this song down the pecking order in favour of stuff like Forever Everton and that abomination Spirit of the Blues (which, IMO, only people who are impressed by cat memes can possibly like).

Grand Old Team should rightfully be restored to being played prior to Z-Cars and immediately after any win or good/unexpected draw against a top of the table challenging team.

The fact that no longer happens is another example of the trampling down of our culture by the clueless frauds who've cratered the club in the last 7 seasons.

Thoughts?

GOT(the song) the fin worse song there it, so out dated and so cringy

May as well sing We are the champions

Outdated and cringey? It's called tradition.

Is Z-Cars outdated and cringey?

 

[Modern07]

Spirit of the blues needs to go away forever. Absolutely hate it

 

[Johnnytotal]

I don't like how camp the fans are when singing the "whoooooo" part. Instead of channelling their inner little Richard, they went full dale winton.

Not sure myself, tbh. Other than the fact that people in Liverpool call someone's face a kipper.

 

[T LEAFE]

"We shall not be moved "should be sung at every game
It's OUR song

 

[davek]

No.

Any club song that wastes two whole lines on a rival club (while claiming "we don't care") is a terrible idea, and may even reveal dodgy ancestralship of the original songwriting.

Eh?

Anthems can and do mention the enemy...."...rebellious Scots to crush..."

 

[davek]

"We shall not be moved "should be sung at every game
It's OUR song

That's a fantastic Everton anthem.

 

[davek]

That “Wooooooooo” Dave is as embarrassing as people still calling us the ‘peoples club’

I know mate...or divvies calling Goodison The Grand Old Lady. An Echo invention that dullards adopted.

 

[davek]

If you can make it rhyme to The Sash My Father Wore, you could be onto a winner.

Liverpool already own that adaptation: Scouser Tommy.

 

[blulouie]

This is the high tide mark of weekend thread posting. Any ambitious hoppers take note this is how to flood the market with produce and then hustle til you take all the corners. @davek is was and always will be pound for pound on here. A maestro.

What.........@davek is a pussey cat.

# loves him tho

It's not homophobia, you pubeless mega-virgin.

It's an insult. "Everton, you never shone so brightly".

I mean FFS.

There's so much wrong with that song it's hard to know where to start with it.

At least GOT has the decency to stick to historical dimensions.
