All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Does anyone know if we are doing the anthem in Maori and English - would be embarrasing if half the crowd is singing one verse and the rest the other.


FIFA protocols stipulates NO live singing of anthems- prerecorded only- so if people want to singalong its up to fan forums like this to decide how.

Marching On To Spain '82 song is brilliant, could be easily adapted to Africa.

Madhouse, not everybody going to the game is from Welly, and as for your other idea...

That was my understanding as well - which means its probably only going to be played once.  However most are used to it twice now, leading to the situation of both languages being sung  at once by different parts of the crowd.

I agree, Kiwi - Kiwi is a easy chant.
I am in favour of this too,imagine 35,000 people screaming this when they come out onto the feild , pretty intimidating for any visiting team and really get the boys pumped up as well.
 
At risk of sounding like a broken record. Who cares if its lame, it'll be loud.  We also should just treat Bahrain like crap, Boo them for everything, sing over their anthem. Just generally show them no respect and get in their heads. If you can hear their travelling fans at all I'll be gutted.

How did they treat our national anthem there ?

From memory it was with respect.  I'm not sure we need to go doing something that will help them bond and focus against us before the match even starts.

If it had happened in the first leg then maybe it would be fair game, but to me they showed us respect so we should return the favour.

If that is the rule then we should be booing over Skys coverage, they talked over our national anthem doing their pre-match!

Even then I wouldn't join in. Perhaps I'm sitting on some sort of high horse but to me National Anthems are all about a nations identity around the world and while I don't want the opposition to win I don't think its right to disrespect that identity.

Also, FIFA don't look too kindly on this kind of behaviour. Serbs copped a big fine for whistling during the Marseillese in Belgrade a couple of months ago. And with the financial state NZF is in, that's the last thing we need.

The only problem being their anthem will be played first.

Haha, to be fair I didn't think that many people would take to the idea. It does reek of that time the Aussies turned their back on the haka.

I too do not want to show disrespect when the national athems are played but it would be embarassing if we hear there supporters during the game.
I wil screaming 'till I lose my voiceafter the anthems.

I was thinking today anyway, imagine full noise around the ground leading up to anthems, full noise NZ anthem and silence during Bahrain anthem. Would send a rather hostile message. Being in a country surrounded by water and having rather limited support.

Two definites for me are the AW's Spain 82 song and Leo B chant.
 
As for our national anthem it is supposed to be in English AND Maori. That is the proper anthem so if you don't like it then get over it. it is correctly sung English first and Maori last, and I'm pretty sure the tune they played in Bahrain allowed for the Maori verse to be sung.

Does that mean every sporting and ceremonial occasion I've ever been to got it the wrong way around, Hammerhead?

Oh, and let us not forget for the anti songbook crew (well FM) that the national anthem sort of sets a precedent for song writing competition (makes me wonder what the losing entries were like...)HarryHotspur2009-10-20 20:37:22

Yep. This is an international with a team we've never had any association - not a league match where you would expect grudges. So some respect is warranted.

It would be different if they had done a Talay on us and scored or had been hostile or had, oh I dunno, invaded Poland or tried to set up Pan-Asia sphere of "co-prosperity".

What about using the Beach Boys Babara Ann?
From Ba ba ba, ba ba babra ann... to:
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah-rain...?
 
Then some clever lines like:
 
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah-rain...
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah-rain...
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah-rain...
 
Oh Bah-Bah-rain, please lose this game,
Bah-bah-rain,
You got us going to the world cup,
All Whites will be rocking up,
Bah-bah bah, Bah bah Bah-rain.
