I think we do a better job of hiding it than Never Tear Us Apart.

Yeah not sure why it's so embarrassing - they play it during one of the quarter time breaks when nothing is happening and most people are off getting re-hydrated.
Some of the crowd get in on it, some don't and they promptly stop it as soon as the game starts. No priority or emphasis given to it.
Unlike never tear us apart just before the opening bounce and the whole stadium lit up in it.

If they will give us Connor McKenna that would be much appreciated.

Yes they are woeful in Trade Week. Although he was rendered ineffective on Saturday, McKenna has considerable upside and he'd be welcomed on our list. However they would want a Paps type player in return which is not negotiable.

Was only a half serious post lol- McKenna would cost the farm to be honest. Personally rather trade with other clubs.

** shouts all round** Thanks I'll have a Jamesons with a Guinness chaser.
Fair point.
My issue is more that they just started playing it one day seemingly out of nowhere and kept force-feeding it to us until a large enough group started singing along.
There seems to be zero reason/relevance for playing that particular song.
Harmless I suppose.

You have the Board's commiserations.
I once made the error of taking my favourite ex Mrs Bloodied52 to the Swans v Tiges at the G when we came from way behind to go down by a point (courtesy of Hilton behind - their only score in Q4). When their theme song came on after the siren, my mate and I sang the alternate lyrics - "Oh we're from Liquorland".
In retrospect it was the beginning of the end.

It is played at Red Sox games and many other American sports grounds.
I seem to remember Ted Richards talking about it in an interview how he liked hearing it.

Port sing INXS because it means something to them. I don't know the exact reason why they picked that song but it's a tradition which the Port fans chose.
We sing Sweet Caroline because some American team did it first and our marketers thought it would be a nice idea to copy. I hate that Sweet Caroline gets played at every game because not only does it mean nothing to us it's a blatant copy of another clubs culture.
