Sound when they got a corner? Was either Killie, Livi or Celtic. Fucking embarrassing. 17 hours ago, ATLIS said: Can't remember us doing it but it sounds absolutely embarrassing I actually seem to remember that at Almondvale. Would have been back in like 2006, think I remember a wee tune before each corner. I was 10 though so could well be talking shite.

DA Baracus Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I remember it and it was definitely Livingston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 We used to come out to the Banana Split tune, which was utterly fucking weird, but I missed it when it changed. I'm not a fan of goal music for internationals, but clubs using songs from local bands (do Dunfermline still come out to The Skids?) or songs which have an otherwise strong connection to the club (Sunshine on Leith is a wonderfully idiosyncratic example) is fine. I'd take "The boy with the arab strap" by Belle and Sebastian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Patterson Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Livi used to have cheerleaders at Half Time in the mid-2000s which was odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very weird. They weren't even particularly good, but they always looked cheery They were all about 16 too, and you'd get the lads up the back giving it "get yer tits oot" etc. Every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Motherwell also had the 'Well's Belle's' cheerleaders a while back. Definitely a bit strange. On the trumpet music @Stellabozasked about previously, I'm not sure who else done it, but we had a period of a couple of years where they would play the Cavalry Charge whenever we got a corner towards the end of a game and we were chasing an equaliser or winner. Cringed every single time. Edited February 25, 2022 by 'WellDel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Celtic definitely played a wee snippet/the opening bars of the Everton Song () when they got a corner in some European games. Think they were maybe 1 or 2 down going into the second leg and it was a tinpot attempt at "generating atmosphere" when chasing a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Add Rangers to the list of clubs that went through the cheerleader phase. The only good thing to come of it was at a Rangers charity dinner I attended where there was a selection of the cheerleaders that performed for some reason. We somehow managed to convince them to come back into town with us to a night club, outfits on and all. Me being a weedy wee 18 year old at the time thought it can’t get any better than this. Of course, I had no chance with any of them, but it never stopped me trying. Must’ve bought about 10 drinks for various cheerleaders for absolutely f**k all to happen. Still felt grand strolling into the club with them, though. Edited February 26, 2022 by AJF 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Corona girls were there, ladies in skimpy clothing to promote the beer. They essentially had a 2nd mobile number given to them by the company so they could exchange it with punters making a cheeky move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 We had cheerleaders for 2 or 3 games in the early to mid 2000s. Thankfully they were binned very quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Falkirk have had cheerleaders a few times, at Brockville towards the end, and also at the Bairnabeu. We even had a dance troupe do an interpretive dance theatre skit* on a muddy park in about 2012. Quite surreal. *inb4 "that was the Falkirk defence hahafhsjsjhjj" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Which skids tune do the pars run out to, is it into the valley? We run out to another of their anthems ‘the Saints are coming’. Wonder if there’s any other bands played at more than one club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club briefly changed it to 'Teenage Kicks' by The Undertones when Stephen Kenny was manager. Thankfully was changed back and remains to this day. Also, Bluebell Polka is played at full time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, had to be steaming to put up with a lot of that football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
