Away from the will we/won't we make it / why isn't Wilson between the sticks debates, my mind (as so often), wandered onto the old football chant ' You're gonna get your f*ckin' heads kicked in' chant. You never hear it now, and I genuinely can;'t remember when I last heard it. When did it die out, and can people recall specific matches (and the season) when they last heard it. Name that year.............over to those with a better memory than me.

It probably died out as the casual era came in

"The referee's a wanker" is another one that seems to have fallen away. If it was going to get a rendition id have expected to hear it at the weekend.

I remember it being sung in the late 70s and well into the 80s.

Along with that other classic, "you're going home in a fucking ambulance".

I remember hearing "you're going home in a St Johns Ambulance" in the West Terrace occasionaly late 90's.

But don't remember ever hearing the other two, and i've been going since 92.

Referee's a wanker was going well into the 2000's.....

I felt compelled on Saturday to go solo with ‘Where’s your father’? In response to the refereee’s performance.
Now that is one that doesn’t get a regular airing and definitely should.

I don't remember the 'you're gonna get your fucking head kicked in' chant beyond the 70's so agree with FP on this.

I can't remember ever hearing 'you're gonna get your fucking heads kicked in' at a match.

I do lament the loss of 'you're so shit it's unbelievable', though. Replaced by the less pleasing 'you're shit, and you know you are', which also died away.

Does anyone remember the glue sniffing at the back of the West End in the 70s. Loads of paper bags discarded on the terraces

I don't know this one. "You're not fit to referee" has always felt oddly polite to me though.

I think I can do one slightly more recent, away at Stevenage when we had McGoldrick.

It's also the last time I can remember absolutely terrorising the opposition goalkeeper all half, like we used to in the West End, probably due to how close that away end is to the pitch and feels like 1k of you crammed in on top of the goalkeeper. 'Arnold is his name, he stinks of piss he's got no mates' sarcastically cheering everything he did, sarcastically chanting Arnold's name, 'let's all wave at Arnold' the lot, he really looked like he didn't want the ball in the end.

We battered them all game, but were somehow 1-0 down until the 79th minute when good old Arnold spilled an easy save and we equalised, then got a 89th winner and a stoppage time 3rd (a sublime chip from McGoldrick).

One of my favourite, underrated away games, and evidence that we need to start terrorising opposition goalkeepers again!

Does it have to be their keeper?

He stinks of piss and he's got no mates, Collins is his name

Yeah I know sorry @torchomatic please give me this one - open goal I couldn't miss!

Walsall keeper at the Bescott one season got it for what felt like about 20 minutes. He looked confused.

Probably mentioned it on here before, but my favourite rendition of this was at Southend away, when we win 2-0 in the middle of a fucking super typhoon or some shit during the league win in League One.

People were singing about Mark Oxley, I think his name was, in the Southend goal stinking of piss until he got injured. They brought on their sub goalie who was someone from their academy.

It was just the "oooohhhh" as the keeper came on, until he turned his back to us revealing his name is "Taylor", and everyone singing "Taylor is his name, Taylor is his name", I think he took it as the bit of good natured banter it was... always cracks me up when I remember it, just the "ooooohhhhh".

I remember the game that chant was born. It was a 1-1 draw with Forest in 95 and Mark Crossley was the target. Fair play to him as he turned round and looked at the West End with an incredulous smile after it had been going for about 10 minutes straight!

To the tune of ‘My darling Clementine’.
‘Where’s your father, where’s your father, where’s your father referee?
You ain’t got one, you’re a right one, you’re a bastard, referee’.

Sounds like one you would have written
To be fair that sounds very Cov fans away, back in the day.

I remember coming out of Anfield, after having been tonked, to a load of Liverpool fans trying to give it a big un. They looked totally confused by the Cov fans still being totally jubilant and out singing them with, "The football league, is upside down, the football league is upside down."

The Cov fans were still celebrating the fact we tonked them at Highfield Road earlier in the season.
