Darren Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I actually find it difficult to believe that has been given the light of day in a national newspaper, even the Record. This is aside from the fact that Aberdeen has, I believe, more of a drugs problem than Edinburgh these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makween Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I and everyone around me just thought that they were singing "sit down, shut up" back to us, so it was a bit ****. That said, if that's really what they were saying then it's quite funny and you probably need to lighten up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego10 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 it was sit down shoot up. which whilst it really doesn't bother me is unlikely to be nominated for any comedy awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if that's really what they were saying then it's quite funny and you probably need to lighten up a bit. Wasn't in reference to the pc nature of it - more the fact that it warranted a mention in a national newspaper. Not even close to original or funny. The only barely funny part is the irony of who was signing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1874M Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Scary that a journo would use this but... Somebody should tell Aberdeen fans that the number of people injecting across Scotland is dropping apart from in Greater Glasgow and Grampian. Dafties.

kevmacd Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It was the incident just before this that made me laugh. When Balogh mis kicked the ball straight to an Aberdeen player, the dons fans gave a mocking cheer, then the Aberdeen player promptly miskicked it out of play. Their 'shoot up' call did make me smile but as previously said i'm sure it is easier to score some skag up their way than it is in Edinburgh. We've knocked down most of the dodgy areas that Trainspotting would have been based on / likened to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveofthegame Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 That gets coverage in a national (albeit rag) newspaper. Thats not even close to funny, especially considering the north of Scotland has about the worst smack problem going. I hate that paper. Credit where credits due for a funny/decent chant but thats not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts_crazy Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Is it any wonder we call it the Daily ******? Those cheeky chappies frae Aberdeen eh? Hilarious with their witty retorts, bog roll and stuff tee hee hee. Laugh? I didn't think i'd ever start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbill Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 The police have a portable metal cage for malcontents. The only time I have ever seen it at our football matches is when Aberdeen visit us. The police are obviously just as enchanted by the wit of these pawky wee souls from Aberdeen as the reporter was. It is a pity that he didn't mention the hilariously ironic way that they lobbed missiles onto the pitch before and during the game. I so hate being dull. I think I'll go and drown myself in sheepdip!

h-e-a-r-t-s Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 in fairness, and the example in question is not a good one, aberdeen fans do come up with some witty stuff. i particularly like, "oh when the reds go steaming in" and their song for their old striker 'daddi' which was "who's the, who's the, who's the f****** daddy"... As for the Daily Record, I can feel my IQ dropping with every sentence i read of that rag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbill Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 As for the Daily Record, I can feel my IQ dropping with every sentence i read of that rag I once did a literacy test on the sports pages of the Daily Record and the results indicated that the articles I used were suitable for nine year old children.

RussG Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I heard it loud and clear, to be fair it wasn't a bad put down, filed away for the next game against Hibs. Very ironic though, towns like Stonehaven and Fraserburgh are rife with heroin and as for their 'gorgie slums' insults, I mean honestly, where would you rather live, Edinburgh or Aberdeen?

Guest juvehearts Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 This story sums up the quality of that paper. And the mentality of those who buy it. agreed. even the jurno typing is shcoking, like a chav telling his mates his joke of what hapened. mind you it is only chav's that read that rag.

Makween Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 If we'd sang it against Hibs, Kickback would be one big circular ****. We can't really complain about tired, out of date stereotypes when there are still Hearts fans that sing "you're only sheepshagging *******s" and think they're being funny. It does annoy me when any paper writes about any chant that fans are singing, though. Why do they think that anyone reading a match report cares? Scotland games are the worst for it, it's difficult to find a match report which doesn't detail the latest hilarious witticism to come from the shortbread munchers.

I.J Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 As someone who is easily susceptible to the powers of suggestion, I can confirm that I took their chant seriously. I now have a ?200 a day smack habit. I bet they started Pete Doherty on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
