The stupid horn noise they play after goals at Gold Coast ...yank crap

[MC Extra Dollop]

Freo fans are the worst amirite?

Honestly I didn't even notice after maybe the first year, it just became background noise. I for one admired that guy's dedication.

The Freo part of it is irrelevant.

I picture you as being Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino. Only with a 'Straya accent.

And now other clubs are copying the Suns. I'd trade that for the stupid snarling cat noise they've been playing at Kardinia Park after a Geelong goal any day of the week.

You mean the panther snarl!



Next thing you know they'll be renaming us the Geelong Wildcats.

 

[kfc1]

You mean the panther snarl!

Panther is saying "go back where you came from". Heretier doesn't like this.

 

[lmach]

I hate those stupid dread lock beanies at eagles games

They're sold by every club....

 

[the harry]

I think they should be renamed the Gold Coast Red Skins just to make it even more 'merican

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I was at the SANFL finals on the weekend at Adelaide Oval. After the first goal was scored, they started playing advertisements on the big screen. I said to my mate "They're not going to do this all day are they, it's annoying, and must be annoying for the players".

Someone upstairs must have come to the same conclusion and stopped doing it ... except when we went to start the second half. Players ready, umpires ready, got the light upstairs that the TV crew was ready .... and then we got hit with a barrage of advertisements again. Added to that, my mate Wayne Phillips would come on at every break telling about what we had just seen.

I don't know about others, but the only noise I like hearing at the footy is the crowd barracking, and the final siren. Everything else is crap.

 

[clogged]

It's just utter yank crap

I cannot stand yank crap

Half our kids walk around with caps on backwards like yanks do .....

Stupid rap music

We are like a souther suburb of America already .......we don't need our sport to be the same

Lolwut.

 

[SleazySimon]

It's not basketball....hey I like the NBA also but when I'm watching nba it's nba .....not AFL

I thought you hated yanky crap

 

[Giants FC]

I'm old enough to remember what they Swans used to play that "Show 'em UGH Show 'em UGH" song after every goal. Compared to that, Gold Coast's trumpet bar is nothing.

[Hollow Knight]

It started at the Suns, now Brisbane and Adelaide do it, it really is annoying

Eh?

If you are talking about the Lion Roar thing (that sounds more like a toilet flushing)' we've been doing that for about a decade.

 

[HolyWars]

The west coast theme song is right up there to

The Western Australian clubs have a monopoly on the worst theme songs in the AFL by a long long way.

 

[DelishDockers]

This is a quality read. I was watching FoxFooty Chooseday Night Football the other week and that audio "You're the miiiiiiiiiiiiiiighty Swaaaaaaaaaans" after every goal (or however it went) was ultra annoying. How did they get away with that?

 

[Father Jack]

I don't mind some uniqueness sure

But the yanky crap we can do without

Port all class

GCS ....cheap tackle yanky crap

Rather simple to see the difference

I agree, you would have to be rather simple to see any difference.

 

[Billy ray]

Who wants a dvd plaaaaaaayyyyyeeeeerrrrrrr........
Is slim jim still at eagles home games ?

Fwiw, the suns have about half of their membership base as juniors. Kids like this stuff. I dont see how its considred American, it's the start of the club song. I am sure that Belgians, Dutch, Germans and other nationalities play brass instruments.

Unlike west coast where 99% of members are grey army, been members since 1980s and do or attend any non fine weather home games as it is too wet, cold etc and the nursing homes won't give them a pass out for insurance purposes.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

The lions should roll out a huge mechanical lion, sort of like the Trojan horse, with the players inside. When it arrives in the middle of the stadium it's eyes should glow maroon and have blue and gold laser lights coming out.

 

[Sprout]

It's maybe there for kids ...yeah get that .....

Can dig that but atlaest give it something which has some footy semblance to it

It's not basketball....hey I like the NBA also but when I'm watching nba it's nba .....not AFL

It's a part of their club song. What do you suggest as an alternative that would have some "footy semblance to it"?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

The lions should roll out a huge mechanical lion, sort of like the Trojan horse, with the players inside. When it arrives in the middle of the stadium it's eyes should glow maroon and have blue and gold laser lights coming out.

And the players could run out of its rear passage to take the field.

Geez it would be fun in your place watching Aussie Tv shows/movies and listening to aussie music.

 

[NickoST]

As we have learnt from the expansion clubs in the AFL, it's pretty difficult to come up with a catchy club anthem without using the tunes of world famous songs, innit?

 

[Oneiros]

It's an excerpt from their club song, how the * is that Americanised you dysfunctional lunatic!? And my god, you can't even figure out how to spell Yankee! Is that some kind of sick piece of deliberate anti-intellectual pride you're indulging in, or did your 'e' key die in the midst of one of your other mind-bending rants?

Let me guess, is this how the situation at Metricon goes:
Hey, Gold Coast score a goal, lets play part of the club song! Now pass me the Southern Comfort and gumbo, y'all.

Surely this thread needs a quick transplant to the Bay, where it can be nominated for a nice divvying.

 

[scythe]

i've read through this entire thread and haven't found one single attempt at an explanation as to what is so specifically american about playing an excerpt of a club's song to celebrate a goal in an australian sport. funny that.

i guess some people just think "yank crap" is slang for "i don't like it".

 

[Lord_Flashheart]

It is the worst thing I have ever heard at a game

Funny because on the annoying scale I give it a two. 1 being not annoying at all and 10 being the west coast eagles club song.

 

[Jtree]

Oh my god

What a croc of yanky crap


It is the worst thing I have ever heard at a game

If you need that generate excitement at a footy game then I feel sorry for you .....what a load of rubbish

Are you Canadian?
