I did laugh when I heard Rangers sing it last week. The song is a very famous Spurs song for us of an older generation or two. Cyril Kowles played for Spurs as a left back, the song written to celebrate his first goal for the club. Early 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it wasnt. The song was originally written as an advert for a bread company. Cyril was the name of the baker in the ad. Spurs copied it from there by way of the Cockerel Chorus releasing it.

Kjell Olofsson Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Well done to all fans that made the trip to Dens Park today! Outstanding! Just watched the highlights. Ultras right behind the goals looked great! Trust me, would look even better if you ditched the black for maroon. The whole black thing will run its course in society soon! Move to maroon soon! Our famous maroon! Leave the black to St Mirren, Ayr United, Derby County, Notts County and all the other teams that wear black rather than their club colours!

Also very big in the 80's with WBA and Coventry fans when the superb Cyrille Regis scored. Pretty much all current songs are adapted from old terrace chants. No problems at all with it.

Cyril was the name of the baker in the ad. Spurs copied it from there by way of the Cockerel Chorus releasing it. After reading the Wiki, I don't think there was an original song, only a slogan. Cockney chorus put it to music and won an award its writers Spiro and Clarke received an Ivor Novello Award for Best Novel or Unusual Song in 1974. In 1972, Wonderloaf Bread created a television advertising campaign written by Peter Mayle with the slogan "Nice one, Cyril", where the slogan was used to congratulate a baker named Cyril for baking a good loaf of bread.[4][5][6] The slogan was picked by fans of the football club Tottenham Hotspur, who chanted "Nice one Cyril" to praise a Tottenham player named Cyril Knowles.[6][7] Harold Spiro, a fan of the club, wrote the song with Helen Clarke based on the slogan. They also used the tune of the folk song "Farewell, Ladies" for the chorus. The song was performed by the Cockerel Chorus (the cockerel is the emblem of Tottenham Hotspur) fronted by Spiro, with Jamie Phillips singing the opening operatic part.[8] It is also the first professional recording of future Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain.

gorgierulesapply88 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Negative comments are part and parcel and yet still not everyone will agree with the idea. They have certainly been a breath of fresh air, and continue to 'grow' both in stature and size. Those who organise things are respected both in and out the group. And I cannot wait to see future creativity both with displays when planned and WHEN the expansion is granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only so many popular, catchy tunes exist that you can change words to match a football match. If they're singing and making noise and having fun, I give them an A+, as long as the tunes are not sectarian nor racist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I was sitting (well, standing) right behind them tonight. It was brilliant. I'm officially a "Hearts da" (horrible weegie patter aside), but I had a great time. I don't know all the words to all the songs but joined in for most of them. And the banner was superb.

Pieandbovril Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 On 20/11/2022 at 15:16, No Idle Talk said: I'm 47yo so I'm a wee bit auld for the ultras scene. I've observed this scene happening at Celtic and Rangers over the last few years and, frankly, thought it was all a bit wank. I've felt it was wank because I remember being at Tynecastle in the 80's and the atmosphere was tremendous. No ultras. Just Hearts fans. I suppose times move on. The atmosphere at Tynecastle for your average home fixture against St Mirren, Ross County, Kilmarnock etc isn't always what it could be. So I'm slowly coming around to the way of thinking that this 'Ultras' movement isn't a bad thing. I'd rather have some ultras giving it beans than Tynecastle being a bit of a morgue on match day. It's probably a generational thing. I just think fans should turn up and sing songs without the need for an 'ultra' movement. But maybe those days have gone? Respect to the young crew who love the Jambos enough to jump up and down and sing for 90mins non stop. I love that and we need that energy. Just curious to know what people's thoughts in general are on this subject? It's a good question and topic. (this my first post btw - so possibly crapping on too much) Like you I've mixed feeling about the so-called ultras - esp. the wearing black palaver. And no scarfs? But yes they do lead in the singing - which is needed. I'm 63 and well remember the 'good old days' when the shed (right in front of the pie and bovril stand) was the centre of all the singing. It took a helluva match e.g beating Hibs or the legendary match v Lokomotiv Leipzig in 1976 for the auld trusties in the auld stand to start singing - e.g "His name is Drew Busby the talk of the North.....". So while the shed always was singing the rest of the ground not so much. I think most folk see all-seated grounds as having killed the atmosphere a lot. Unlike actually killing people as the old terracing grounds did on occasion - so a good bit of progress overall maybe. When HMFC seated most of the main shed area, back in the late 1970s or early 1980s - the 'shed' as in the singing jambos moved up into the unseated corner of the covered area - in front of the high class pissoir which folk of my vintage will remember all too well. Meaning singing needed standing - from what I see on the box the ultras tend to stand. Should everyone be standing to create more noise? Whatever the answer - can we at least ban drums from football grounds? The monotonous and repetitive drone is so annoying and is no match for good auld singing.

Not sure the Lp system includes a requirement to sing at games.

This is My Story Podcast Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The GU are a registered supporters club just like Merchy Hearts, Livi Hearts etc so they apply for tickets the same as every other supporters club. They are allocated tickets based on how many LP’s they have and if they qualify for a ticket. Easter Road a good example. The application sent in for the GU was about 100+ but only 70 odd qualified through the loyalty point scheme. Be a big loyalty threshold for Morton I would imagine.
