1320Lichtie Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Seen that. Class. Love the Well Bois. Even giving it all their usual stuff and sing along at the under 20 cup final.
PauloPerth Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I think it's been on the go a good few years in Europe has it not? St Johnstone fans were doing it in 2014 when we won the Scottish Cup, I thought some of the young lads had picked it up from European games, could be wrong.
MikeyWellFan Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 It's good to finally see Lanarkshire's Finest being recognised as the world renowned trend setters that we are.

Of course it has The Hungarian fans were doing it in their first game against Austria. It was pretty clear that it wasn't until the Iceland fans saw the Hungary do it that the Icelandic fans did it. Unless Motherwell have a big Hungarian following, this is pish.
PauloPerth Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I'm not doubting the article that Icelandic fans first encountered it v Well, I'm simply saying I thought it was an older chant that had been going around Europe for quite a few years.
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I think it's been on the go a good few years in Europe has it not?

The wee st johnstone fannies copied off Motherwell along with the rest of their routine. Of course it has The Hungarian fans were doing it in their first game against Austria. It was pretty clear that it wasn't until the Iceland fans saw the Hungary do it that the Icelandic fans did it. Unless Motherwell have a big Hungarian following, this is pish. There are actual Icelandic people confirming that Stjarnan fans took it from Motherwell fans and brought it to their national team games. Your well sourced story is clearly refuting those first hand accounts
The_Kincardine Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 The only good thing to come out of Motherwell is me.
Helpma Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Not surprised a monosyllabic chant was popular with Motherwell fans, they probably couldn't remember the words
RandomGuy. Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 The wee st johnstone fannies copied off Motherwell along with the rest of their routine. Pretty sure wee took it from EsEs fans. Ive never noticed the "Well Bois" until last season

forever_blue Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 Pretty sure wee took it from EsEs fans. Ive never noticed the "Well Bois" until last seasonThe well Bois have been about for years , they had a rather amusing "we welcome the chase" banner against us at fir park when they were sitting ahead of us in the table after a few games of the season in 2010/2011 I think . We won 3-0

forever_blue Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 The halcyon days before you boys went down the shitter They did have such a banner did they not mikey ? Tried looking for it there but no such luck
MikeyWellFan Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 They did have such a banner did they not mikey ? Tried looking for it there but no such luck I was at the game but wouldn't have seen the banner. Fucked off to the beer garden after the third as well.
forever_blue Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 I was at the game but wouldn't have seen the banner. Fucked off to the beer garden after the third as well. Can remember the banner , raised a wee chuckle when a saw it in all honesty
MikeyWellFan Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Can remember the banner , raised a wee chuckle when a saw it in all honestyRemember winding up a few at central with 'we're gawny win the league' chants
