BONTEMPI Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Nah just taking the piss Still I agree with everyone who loves the tune, its synonomous with Newcastle United to me and I can only imagine that those who didn't miss it weren't around last time Keegan was manager. You weren't joking I bet You'd lose a bet then, I actually posted the second message before I even read any responses to the first, just left enough time to see if I got a bite.. Just shows the state of internet forums that anyone could actually believe I was being serious Only you will ever know! Only you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'd go as far as to say anyone who doesn't love the song isn't a Newcastle fan. It's not a song, it's a piece of music.. and it's crap. 'If the Kids are United' by Sham 69 would be far better. all imho of course. That's a cockney song I know, its even got a cockney chirping away at the start.. can you imagine that shit playing at St James park?, makes me feel ill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magpie418 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 And get Graeme Danby to sing Blaydon Races before big games like he did against the macums last season. I'm sure Keane's rabble completely lost their bottle when they walked out into that atmosphere. Now that would be class, I had a tear in my eye watching that bloke stroll around the park in his tight pants, waving his flag and belting out the anthem... *sniff* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 As a non-Geordie I thought it was one of the classiest things about your club. No lyrics, no fireworks, no overblown pomposity just a damn fine piece of music which said "I can only be in St. James' Park". Always liked this post.

OzzieMandias Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Shame. Crappy tune by one of the most boring musicians ever to come out of Newcastle.

Wullie Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 We played 'If The Kids Are United' last season. Doesn't bring anything to the party for me. I'm delighted it's back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Giddup sausage. Gannin' Yem / Lurcal Herurr back for good leik. Seriously though I'm glad it's back in all honesty as it should be. Even players here in the past have said they loved running out to that tune. It's synonymous with the club and really gets everyone fired up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it sounded alright although pretty much anything played over that PA sounds crap unless its compressed to fuck. Local hero sounds like cheap advert music.

OzzieMandias Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 It's the theme of a film about an American oil executive in Scotland. Got sod all to do with Newcastle or football, except for Knopfler growing up in Gosforth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not easy to be as '100% completely inaccurate' (every single word) as this post is. a) It's a crap tune. Face it. b) What's interesting about Mark Knopfler? I can barely type his name without dozing off. Dire Straits were one of the crappest bands ever. c) How come ir's "100 percent wrong" to want us to be more than local heroes.
