generic anti aussie chant

generic anti aussie chant

went to the ashes test last year and the barmy army had plenty of anti aussie chants, a simple one to yellow submarine..."you all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony etc".

Or to abridge a UK terracing favourite

In your convict slums,
In your convict slums,
Your rake in the gutter for something to eat,
You find a dead rat and you think it's a treat,
In your convict slums.

No convicts in Melbourne, though...

Victoria

In 1851 Victoria (Port Phillip District) separated from New South Wales. Apart from the early attempts at settlement, the only convicts sent directly to Victoria from Britain were about 1,750 convicts known as the 'Exiles'. They arrived between 1844 and 1849. They were also referred to as the 'Pentonvillians' because most of them came from Pentonville Probationary Prison in England.

I always thought SA was the only free settler colony - and it seems the case

South Australia

The British province of South Australia was established in 1836, and in 1842 it became a crown colony. South Australia was never a British convict colony, although a number of ex-convicts settled there from other colonies. Around 38,000 immigrants had arrived and settled in the area by 1850.

Oh, my mistake - carry on. I didn't think to count the less than 2,000 ones who were sent down from Sydney-side over a massive 5 year period!!

The problem with anti aussie chants is that we have aussies in our team.

while they live in NZ, and play for an NZ team, they are kiwis.

Make sure you tell them that when you see em next Frankie

Yep. You don't get much more kiwi than Ross Aloisi.

who are ya
who are ya

this way we can just diss our opposition supporters... especially with a full strung voice of a few thousand +
