TigerWoodsMFC Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 On the way into Hampden, the guy who lives across the street from me said that Motherwell were the first team to do the bouncey and that he remembered doing it in the shed. Were we actually or is the guy talkin garbage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

something else Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Also the song that the tims sing "we are celtic supporters faithful through and through" I remember well fans singing it at the skol cup semi in 1986 against the mhanks and they started singing it after that.

weeyin Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 John Boyle started singing "You'll never walk alone" after his 3rd trip to see Carousel in the West End. Months before the Scousers nicked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-in-Oz Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Talking about nicking things World Cup in Mexico'86 the English commentators came up with the phrase the Mexican wave. However just because it's the first time they have seen it does not mean it's the first time it's happened. If they had bothered there arse to do some research they would have found that supporters of American football where doing it long before the Mexican world cup. I believe the first time i seen it was on Channel 4 and the Miami Dolphin supporters were doing it. Not being an English prat i didn't decide to call it the Miami wave because i wouldn't be so arrogant to presume no one else had already done it.

Steve Diggle Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I remember us singing Hey Jude before Macca wrote it. What the fuck is this thread all about? My only real input is, that I can say without fear of contraception, well fans have never sung 'we are Celtic supporters' Pretty confident about that.

Although it predates the '86 World Cup, the Mexicans still claim it originated in Monterrey, Mexico during a domestic match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that there are plenty inventions to go around and the Americans have a pretty decent share, as do the Scots, English, French, Germans, Chinese etc. And we are all as bad as each other in claiming credit when, typically, most inventions depend on multiple people/nations building on each others' work.

And back on topic, Shellic fans never started anything, they've nicked other folks work all their existence and claimed it as their own. Sure it's a grand old team to play for You'll never walk alone The bouncy/Poznan/Huddle Bringing poofy 1980's pop songs into the fitba' arena They werenae even the original Irish club, Hibs beat them tae that.

bigshinyhead Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I've been washing my hands after doing a shite since 1970. There's one tradition that I'm confident the Celtic support will never claim as their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
