Don't be potty

Don't be potty

remember to try ya best not to be a potty mouth with the chants you start. um, that's all.

Thought http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_de_Jesus_Ramos was back

new Fever t shirts?

f**k OFF FEVERISH!

Another C-Diddy classic.

Feverish:

um cos there was an article/radio time from a journo a while back and I'm trying to be responsible.

a Rugby journo by any chance?

And we care because?

"the referees a w**ker" - gone.

PS - Get into 'em, f**k em up ?

only a couple of people do it. i personally dont join in on it because its stupid,and seems 99% of the feverzone dont either. i think its the same couple of people everytime. still dont see the problem.

Again, would this really be a big loss?

There's been a lot of good and clever chants that have cropped up over the last couple of seasons, and they don't get the airtime they deserve because people fall all too readily into this unimaginative generic crap. If Feverish's anti-potty crusade results in the loss of just these 3 particular chants, then I'm all for it.

how about you thrash out these chants and repeat them so others join in. i dont think we're in a position to be ditching chants that everybody knows. the more the merrier. while we're off the thread topic "shhh"ing chants you dont like or doing so because you want to start a different one of your own is also sh*te. the so called 'fever exec' and friends are starting to get the feeling they can tell the rest of the FZ what they can and cant do (and when) it seems.

then protest against it by not joining in. but yeah its happened quite a bit. whenever someone wants to start a disco chant,the current chant gets a shh from you lot,for example. as for helen,id be interested to see the mentioned article. but i dont think the swearing is a cause for concern anyway. though am hoping "f**k off sydney" doesnt catch on here next game as it has at other clubs..awful

'you lot'... not from me.

They do get thrashed out, but the majority don't tend to join in but rather default to the tried and tested few. Which is fine. I'm not telling anyone what to do or not to do. I just like to think we could (and perhaps should) do better.

But I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it, that's for sure.

fair. though wasnt meaning you specifically as much as the group around you that does it (hence fever exec and friends). better?Tegal2010-08-26 14:26:10

I'd say I'm friends with half the FZ -so nice generalisation alright

Friend ?

geez you act like im being racist or something.

Sorry, the firend thing was an allgation that Feverish was exaggerating when he claimed to have friends.

Incidentally...  I think it is a valid point.  There are people out there that look for any stick to beat our sport and language gives them a reason to (and has done at pretty much every A-League club).  Hard News2010-08-26 16:05:51

Are you drunk or has NVH taken over your keyboard?

agreed. but it isnt a problem and for helen lovejoy to make a post like that to say dont swear,is a bit over the top and was a bit of a condescending thing to do. swearing in chants and in the fz is inevitable,and is fine as long as it isnt thuggish or in every single chant. i think we have a good enough balance that offence can be taken at a thread being made by a 'yf exec' telling us what to do

what extraordinary powers do i possess that make it any different to someone else starting the same thread?

id be saying the same thing to anyone else. except i guess it carries a bit more weight when a mod starts a thread like that?

I've only been in the Fever Zone the once (and RoF four times), but I don't think YF is that bad when it comes to language. Apart from "you're so sh*t..." I can't think of any chants I've heard on the tele with bad language. I do think it is a good idea if we can keep the chants clean, I think we're capable of better than swearing to show our support for the Nix/hatred of Sydney etc. On one of the games I saw last weekend, one of the Aussie crowds had a chant full of swearing and it made them sound like unintelligent idiots. I think we're better than that.

Part of the fun of going to the football in Wellington is the chants. I don't see what is wrong with making them so the whole family can enjoy them. Let's not go the way of the cricket fans where all you hear is "----- is a w**ker".

That's the only sh*t I'm going to say on this f**ken matter.

Goalkeeper - you're rather ineffectual
'Keeper - I demand 1/22nd of my match fee back, as you're breaching the trades description act.

See? This is how awesome we can be without naughty words!

Your whole team is ineffectual...

For every chant that has swearing, there is an alternative that is just as good that doesn't.

Instead of chanting "you're gona get your f**king heads kicked in" at the opposition fans, try "you'll never make the station".

Just wondering, is "Your going home on a Qantas Aeroplane" (to the same tune as"Your so sh*t its unbelievable")a regular in the YF?

yep and "you're going home in a f**king ambulance" ;)
