It’s one of our best but I just can’t get this bit to scan! (And that’s after hearing it and trying to sing it for more years than I care to remember!). It just seems far too many words for the space both written down and when sung! I always thought the fact that it gets much quieter on this line perhaps confirms that others feel the same? (Rather than people not knowing the actual words?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rather drunk one evening in Santa Ponsa when we played Majorca (obviously went for the week😂) Ended up separated from the group and found myself in an Irish bar, I had my Hearts top on and a group of Irish guys wanted to hear one of our songs, given some of the song book (moreso back then) I thought I’d go with the European song. They were really impressed and asked me to teach them, I really couldn’t mind the players so I made them up, to this day there’ll be Irish guys thinking it goes Platini Diego and Zedani….. my mates tracked me down to hear that version being blasted out by about 15 random Irish guys😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, there's no hibbees todayyyyy." My son was 6 at the time of the semi final and he sang "all the Hibees are dead" and I didn't know whether it was better to correct him or just leave him be.

4marsbars Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) At my first game I headed for the toilets at half time and walked past a group of Hearts fans behind the McLeod St goals singing God Save the Queen. In those days the national anthem was played at the cinema, theatre and sundry other occasions so for a short while I assumed that the national anthem was routinely sung at half time at all Scottish league matches. It's not, is it? Edited January 23, 2022 by 4marsbars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Jambo Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) As a child (young) I used to sing ‘farts farts glorious farts’ after dropping an egg. Not really picked up wrong but more of gas mask song for my little sister at the time. Edited January 23, 2022 by Aussie Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've researched them but I can never mind them, tbf I think most people don't know as it always dies down at that point. The original names were Rossi, Boniek or Tardelli who were massive names in early to mid 80s when the song was written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby8 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) With thanks to GC, the current feature in the match day programme, The Boys in Ma Room, took it's title from what my boy ( now28), thought the lyrics were when he was wee. To be fair, he did raise a smile during the Scottish Cup replay against Partick a few years back, when they brought on their sub and he casually remarked, So This is Myles Storey ?
