FA enquiry triggered by Gerrard, Owen and Carragher

[Guest sniffer]

Apparently the FA are looking into an episode on the England team coach where Gerrard, Carragher and Owen sang the Stan Boardman World Cup song, causing a lot of laughter. Seems Boardman gave Carra a copy of the song while they were playing golf in Portugal.... The FA are said to be objecting to the song because of the chorus which they deem anti-German.

[floyd]

Can you imagine the FA's reaction, if the fans though, did something similar to what the Dutch are doing?

[R A Softlad]

The FA should throw all three out of the squad. It's disgusting.

For reference the lyrics are:

 

==============================================

 

Oh we?re all going to Germany for the Cup

Oh we?re all going to Germany for the Cup (yee-ha)

Oh we?re all going to Germany, we?re all going to Germany

Oh we?re all going to Germany for the Cup

 

CHORUS

Singing ay-yay-yippee-yippee-yay (clap three times)

Singing ay-yay-yippee-yippee-yay (clap three times)

Singing ay-yay-yippee,

the Germans bombed our chippy,

ay-yay-yippee-yippee-yay (clap three times)

 

Some of us are going on the plane

Others from Dover on the train

A few of us with women

The rest of us are swimming

But we?re all gonna get there just the same

 

We?ll be drinking German lager in the pubs

we?ll be dancing and singing in the clubs

and there?s forty lads from Huyton

who said they won?t be fighting

so there won?t be any need for boxing gloves

 

Singing ay-yay-yippee,

the Germans bombed our chippy,

ay-yay-yippee-yippee-yay (clap three times)

 

Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin

we haven?t got a ticket to get in

so we?ll take a pick and shovel

and dig a massive trundle

and smuggle through inside a wheelie-bin (hee hee)

 

Carracher, Rooney and Gerrard

these lads are tough and very hard

and when they?re in a battle

they won?t shake or tattle

and they won?t get a red or yellow card

 

we?ll be taking lots of banners and some flags

there?ll be thirty lads with ASBOs wearing tags

and when it?s all over, we?ll be heading back to Dover

so don?t forget the 30, 000 fags

 

Eins, zwei, drei, vier, funf..

 

CHORUS

Singing ay-yay-yippee-yippee-yay (clap three times)

Singing ay-yay-yippee-yippee-yay (clap three times)

Singing ay-yay-yippee,

the Germans bombed our chippy,

ay-yay-yippee-yippee-yay (clap three times)

 

==============================================

 

I can see the German's seething over that one alright......

Must not mention the War neither.....

[Euphrates]

I can't imagine Owen singing any song, not after reading some of his odd comments about never get excited about anything and such.

[Stigger]

It's always being played on City, just a bit of harmless fun and quite catchy, can't see any harm in it.

 

A few of the lyrics are wrong up there btw, but gist is right.

[fyds]

Nah, they're just a bunch of ****'s!

Can I shecond that, for sure?

[Rico]

There's one based on the old Dads' Army theme, too. The chorus is something like 'who do you think you are kidding, Jurgen Klinsmann?' It starts with an air-raid siren, apparently. Unsurprisingly, I believe The S*n has got behind it... Hell, they might even be behind it. Either way, I'm steering clear.

Surely 'tunnel' and 'shirk a tackle'

[Guest sniffer]

I don't believe there would be any reaction at all, to be honest....apart from one or two sanctimonious types. It's a non-story.

 

Agreed. Believe the BBC radio have banned it so it must be okay Know it's old about the Germans bombing Boardman senior's chippy but wasn't Boardman's brother killed by a bomb which hit the shelter?

[cymrococh]

Yeah, that's why he sings it, as a tribute to his dead brother.

 

Not as an excuse to vent his xenophobic bullsh*t.

[R A Softlad]

The german comeback to this is as bad, talking about how they sent over Fokkers to bomb all our dockers... maybe the FA should look into that and complain to FIFA and the pope.

[Rushian]

Perhaps there should be an enquiry as to how a Koptalk story has generated so many replies.
