i ask this of you Smith, what do the australian teams think of us? are we just another club in the competition or the kiwi team?

Obviously we are the Kiwi (based) team. And we are just another club in the competition. This isn't a country match (we have All Whites for that) and there's every nationality you could think of in the competition. And I want the 'nix to win of course!

So don't take me the wrong way, I just don't think singling out the "Australianess" of the other teams make any sense at all. This League, and the presence of even one NZ team in it is hugely important for Football in NZ (seen the under-13 participation rates?). Won't it be great when we have two teams, three teams ....!

Do you really think the Australian teams are not going to be making Sheep noises and/or jokes when we are over there?

Or do you think they will only do it if they do not have and Kiwi's in there team?

If you are going to dish it out then you have to be prepared to take it as well! And the boys are going to get loads of abuse about being Kiwi's when they play away so I say sl*gging off aussies is fair game!

This is just an idea but maybe we could modify the chant to include the teams name/location. It would make more sense if we chanted "same old Melbourne/victory always cheating" as an arsenal supporter i hear our name to this chant in every game we play.

"same old central coast, always cheating" doesn't have the same ring to it.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked

LOL ... I had to laugh watching the telly the other day after the news came around the All Black's wives weren't going to be allowed to room with them in France. I was watching Aussie Channel Nine on Sky, morning show. As the news guy read out this piece of news there was a chorus of "baa, baa ..." from all around.

But seriously, no I don't think they'll react that way. We'll find out soon enough.

They have acted that way for the last 7 seasons FFS ? Kingz and Knights, you think they'll change it just because they are from Wellington ? We're not new to the Aussie fans they have been laying in to an NZ club side for 8 years and will continue doing so now.

Most Australian forums refer to the NZ side as the Sheepshaggers, we refer to them as cheating diving convict bastards, they accept what we chuck at them and we accept what they chuck at us, to think it doesn't happen is jaw-droppingly ignorant. Kingzfan2007-08-27 15:12:43

Just like we are saying that our Aussie boys are now honorary Kiwi's...as far as the Aussies will be concerned so are the Brazilians!

The Nix are the only NZ-based side in the A-League. Even if they're not 100% kiwi, they're still representing the country. Besides, the Nix will have sheep jokes thrown at them every road match they play so it's only fair :P

I'm half Australian (lived near Canberra for all of my primary school years, and mom is from Sydney) and i'll still be screaming "Same old Aussies, always cheating". Either that makes me a good NZ-sports fan who has enough of a sense of humour to join in with the crowd and have fun, or a hypocrite. Or a New Zealander, thats what my passport says anyway

. Luckily my dad is from Hamilton so I'm half kiwi too. I guess that means my ancestors were convicted for bothering livestock?

Am I'm a Kiwi who lived in AUS for a while and got tired of our chip on the shoulder. It's not necessary. I 100% agree though that it's in jest.

There seem to be lots of chips on shoulders here. Fottballers who are p'd off about years of Rugby being dominant. Kiwis who want to beat the Aussies no matter what.

It doesn't matter!!! The important thing is we have a more than half decent team here and if they do well, and more follow them, FOOTBALL WILL BE ON THE MAP! That's what counts. It doesn't matter that the other teams come from anywhere at all. Just that this succeeds.

I want us to beat every team, no matter what - it just happens all the teams we play are aussies.

Golly, I might not be very astute at this whole forum business, but how many kiddies today put on their pullups instead of pants before leaving the house? After such a FANTASTIC game, full on football chants, fans and yes the occasional adult rated word or gesture, why are people being such nags? Its FOOTBALL!!!!! If it didnt have the above mentioned it wouldnt be what it should be!!!! And WHAT a day it was!!! For all those people complaining out there, click on the videolink and watch them ONE BY ONE... remember what it was like!!!!!! It was fever pitched and absolutely fabulous! Now, once you've watched those, pop off your diapers, swap them for your adult pants and lets all enjoy the next game EXACTLY the same way! The was football SHOULD be!!!

I'm a KIWI living in Aussie and just to let you all know I have watched every game that the Kingz and Knights have played against Perth Glory and at every game they sing at the top of their voices Fu#k Off You Are Nothing But A Bunch Of KIWI SHEEP SHAGGERS .

Also just to rub salt into the wound they bring along blow up sheep and explain in a song what KIWIS do with the sheep.

So my point is for all you Kiwis that are upset with the what is sung about our West Island cousins is block your ears when it is sung, because the shed at Perth Glory games don't give a sh*t if you have one KIWI or 11 KIWIS in the side they will still bring their blow up sheep and sing sheep shagging song towards KIWI football teams.

I feel better now,

So keep the singing up Yellow Fever.

I think the Yellow Fever should follow the lead of the Aberdeen fans - who celebrate their reputation of being sheepshaggers - they bring inflatable sheep to the games with them!!!

Quite often you'll see inflatable sheep bobbing around an Aberdeen away crowd, diffuses any attempt by the opposition to wind them up calling them sheepshaggers.

When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!

The crowd was absolutely brilliant. Wellington crowds have it all over the Aucklanders.

The constant Brazilian drum beat was great. But any chance of bringing the drummers into the stadium instead of having them play under it?

The Aussie fans must be more dimwitted than I give them credit for. I could have sworn that Australia had a higher population of sheep than NZ - and, if my sources are correct, NZ has 80 million + sheep, so Australia must have heaps of them. And the fans of Perth Glory must be even thicker than the rest of the Aussie fans to chant against Kiwi's considering their best player is a Kiwi.

The kids behind us were having trouble working out what the chant was. The best they could come up with was 'Snail old aussies, always sleeping'. Always an option as a more p.c version

Football's all about banter - the more the better I say, well done to all the Feverites out there!

not all aussies cheat, and i've never met a sheep shagger (well, someone that admits to it!) - it's just a fun chant is all....if i was playing in aussie and they started chanting 'same old kiwis, always cheating', i wouldn't suddenly stop playing incredulously!

I like tautologies because I like them.

The Melbourne lads weren't too happy about the lack of acknowledgement from their team by the way.

I noticed Kevin Muscat give them the old hand clap above the head, but he was on the other sid eof half way and didn't venture towards them. I also noticed that the Nix didn't go down the Hutt end of the ground and salute the supporters there either, so maybe it's not that big a deal.

Most of the supporters down that end left as soon as the game finished!

But yea I was hoping they'd do a little jog around the ground to salute the fans properly.

is it me or have some of the "prawn sandwich brigade" jumped on the fever bandwagon lately? posting all sorts on here about bad language,the way we should conduct ourselves etc. I guess we will always get that though with the success of the Fever.

They should learn though that there WILL be swearing,there WILL be chants about everyone and everything, and that some of the scenes may be crazy but it is what makes the occasion what it is.if it wasnt for the Fever fans yesterday there wouldnt be the same buzz and feeling going around today.im already fed up with the Fun Police out and about so will leave it at that.

But if 1 or 2 people come on this forum tellin us what he should and shouldnt do (having a go at Frankie Mac and saying he doesnt know his stuff), i reckon they should do one and stop ruining the fun.

The game and the Phoenix as a whole was hugely successful yesterday and maybe for once some people need to realise that for all their small opinion is worth,they should go tell some1 who gives a f*ck and realise that its your loss if you cant put up with this and that.

yes we need to show we are fans through think and thin, i am starting to believe the team thrives off our chanting and in some cases the away teams struggle.

i will let us off this time as i think shock was a main factor, 1st game etc nightmarish thoughts of going down 0-6. NEXT GAME we cant stop chanting if we go down, we are fans club for peters sake

as for the above post i agree mate, people need to realise that we'll swear and act like idiots during the game, my new favourite chant(besides horto) is "you went down like your sister!!!! down like your sister!!!!!!"

You have to see it from the position of others though. People who don't like bad language, or don't want their kids to hear that type of talk will be put off the feverzone, and maybe even going to Phoenix games altogether.

I think everyone needs to be considered here.

Permalink

over 18 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

Those people shouldn't be in the fever zone. I guess there is no PG warning given to people buying tickets for the zone. Perhaps there should be?

Permalink

over 18 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

That might be a good idea, but if chants have bad language in them then people will be able to hear them from all over the stadium, so it wouldn't matter where they were sitting.

Permalink

over 18 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

Like it or not, you have Aussies in your team and you can call them 'adopted kiwi's' or any other ridiculous title but they will still be aknowledged as Australians and regardless of what team they're playing for.

By insulting Australian's you're insulting your own captain and many of your own players. Good work but I think the point of cheering is to encourage your team, not insult them.
