absolutely.....nice one Celery!
You just never know do you....
The things that some of our more 'senior' members of the community went through sooooo much and often not given anywhere near the respect they so richly deserve.
Some of those bloody names! wow! (Duncan Edwards, Tommy Doc.....oh, it brought tears to an old Man U man....)
Joe....I tip my hat to you sir!

the story just proves that even if you have a long club and national career as a defender constantly heading a ball much heavier than the one we have today, you can still have the exact same haircut 50 years later.

more like beer blindfold.
i have an idea for the site that i posted in 'bling songs' but all the posts in thread seem to have disappeared. FARK
We introduce a section on the website called song of the week:
-each week we choose a good song out of the ones that pop up on the forum and nominate it song of the week
- a good way for everyone to learn one good/longer/more difficult song each week
-better than trying to start something complicated in bay 16 that people just cant catch onto
-we add a great song to our repetoire each week so after a few home games we'll have lots of good songs while the opposition is still singing 'here we go'
-negative: takes away from the tradition of just starting something in the bay and seeing what sticks. this is just a way to get a few harder ones that are struggling to get going in the bay because no one can learn them.
thoughts?

Sea Of Yellow (to Yellow Submarine)
by Sandy Haruki
In Gosford town
A team was born
The stadium
A yellow sea
And when the team
Begins to play
The yellow sea
Becomes a wave
Chorus
We all follow a yellow football team
The Mariners our team
The best you’ve ever seen
The Mariners are a yellow football team
They shatter all the dreams
Of the other football teams
The Skull and Bones
Are what you fear
The Marinators
You can’t get near
Bay 16
Is what you hear
With heart and pride
We sing our song
Chorus
You’ll go down like a Russian Submarine
A Russian Submarine
A Russian Submarine
We all follow a yellow football team
Yellow football team
Yellow football team
As we live a life of football
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of yellow
In our yellow football team
And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the team begins to play
Chorus
We all follow a yellow football team
The Mariners our team
The best you’ve ever seen
The Mariners are a yellow football team
They shatter all the dreams
Of the other teams
We all follow a yellow football team
The Mariners our team
The best you’ve ever seen
The Mariners are a yellow football team
They shatter all the dreams
Of the other teams
(Bloody hell that's a big song to learn and sing as one)
E I E I E I O
Up the football here we go
We're gonna win the A-League
and this is what we sing
We're the Mariners
We're the Mariners
Winning is our thing.

I reckon the chorus should just be
We all follow a yellow football team
A yellow football team
A yellow football team x2

E I E I E I O is very easy - I've had it in my head all week - walking around Richmond belting it out getting a few looks (mind you I think they were shouldn't you be at school or work or something looks)
