[Yorkhill_True_Blues]

[The_Seal]

Anyone singing this next to you on Thursday, gonna give them a dig in the ribs and tell them to stop being so fucking stupid.

Thanks

FS son try to enjoy yourself. Away for a wank or something lol

 

[vinnie]

We’re on our way to THE 55

 

[Jamiegatami]

How do we get there? On a plane
How will we get there? Winning games

Would be more accurate, this sends me into a meltdown.

 

[1914-18]

When we get to Baku we will have the rightvto call it whatever the feck we want!!!

[FalkirkTrueBlue]

We're on our way!!!!

To THE baku

To far gone now, yes it doesn’t make sense but thousands sing it.

Good luck with that one.

 

[student_loyal]

Yes it was

It wasn’t when we sung it in Skopje!

Or should I say The Skopje?

Listen I love the song, sing it as if my life depends on it.

But I sing it the right way

Repetitive mindless dirge. Tune and lyrics could've been penned by a four year old

Yes, but it took a five year old to add a magic ingredient that is an extra "The" to make it more offensive than The Billy Boys and "The Famine Song".

Actually, I can see a common denominator here. "The" must be fucking offensive.

Sitting here in The Work laughing my tits off at this thread.

Haha

 

[Special One]

FFS it's a great wee tune with no religious or otherwise conotations that can be construed as being offensive.
I feckin love it it's one of those earworms that you just can't stop singing.

nothing wrong with the song

its just that line

it should be
"we're going to Baku"

not the abomination with "The"

F*ck sake what kind of chants are you expecting at football games?

 

[SuperGers07]

Why

Because it is Baku not The Baku

People need to learn the song, and failing that take elocution lessons.

That's no even the right words FFS

He's wanting an Ivor Novello winning one clearly

 

[mdingwall]

 

[Earl of Leven]

How hard is

"To Baku...."

I don't get this idea that the original was hard!!

 

[isamc]

The Baku National stadium looks amazing.

 

[Empire]

If you’re in the chairman’s club on a freebie again on Thursday and I see you singing The Baku I’ll be straight down!

 

[Amato Turn]

I'm with the OP.

Great tune, will be belting it out again on Thursday night but anyone adding in an unnecessary 'the' is a wrongun.

 

[Barryhopez]

Probably illegal streams.

Ye never streamed Kevin Bridges though did ye?????? Ye never streamed him???

What's the world coming to I dunno.

Kevin Bridges???

 

[derBovril]

It is like when people say The Ukraine, The Yemin, or The Gambia. Animals.

 

[Davidsmith1]

It's a bit like folk saying they are going to 'the' Asda, it's a strange one.

I know people who say that usually old women.

 

[Yorkhill_True_Blues]

Kevin Bridges???

Well you were there no me. Did they allow you a flag in?

 

[OsoDeMadrid]

FFS it's a great wee tune with no religious or otherwise conotations that can be construed as being offensive.

We're on our way %^*& the pope.
Were on our way and the irá.
To the Baku we're on our way
(%^*& the irá)

I'm sure we could fit it in.
Would really complement the song.

 

[Barryhopez]

Was I?

Granma Nazi.

 

[Lawsome]

"tO tHE bAkU WeRe oN ouR WaY"

 

[cooprfc]

There's gonnae be a lot of digs flying around from not a lot of people then.

Put it this way, if you don't sing The Baku then you're in the minority by some distance.

I might be in the minority but at least I'm right.

 

[TheJuice]

cant believe people are so angry about this
Good sign for the club though that this is what we are ranting about

 

[SuperGers07]

I've never heard anyone sing The Baku by the way in my company.


most normals don't sing THE.

Most "normals"

 

[EssexBear]

Culture and Grammar hour on FF ! My my !

 

[Mview83]

%^*& me it's infuriating. The song itself is irritating enough but The Baku makes me want to stab my ears.

The song irritating? You’ve clearly never been on a Euro trip this season then.

 

[Roger Smith Loyal]

To the Baku doesn't even roll off the tongue. It sounds awkward compared to just "to Baku"

 

[Earth Worm Jim]

Sounds much better with The in it imo

 

[High Society]

Does it really matter? Going to the Baku whether you like it or not !

Of course it matters.......to people with too much time on their hands and no sense of what’s important.

 

[MagneticFields]

I wonder what Wee Beale makes of it.

 

[___thefamous]

Complain when there's nae singing - complain when singing

 

[Yorkhill_True_Blues]

Was I?

Aye you were. Probably with fish and potatoes.

 

[Orangeandpurple]

We bought this last week.. they had it listed both ways but now it's only with 'the' missing. They must have been on here

[Rangersda]

Anyway just thought I’d share. Off to Anfield on Wednesday for the Red Star game.
To the Liverpool.........etc etc
Followed by to the Glasgow...... on the way back for the Spartak game....

I sing the Baku song in the house and the wife says “Ur ye? Aye!”

 

[Valley Bluenose]

'To Baku, we're on our way' fits perfectly well.

I wonder if we will ever hear that immortal phrase 'And you know what, THE Baku may not be big enough'.

 

[Altogether_now]

I sing Baku not the Baku. First time I heard the song I thought it was cringeworthy but love it now. Good fun and catchy. When we get knocked out we could change it to 55

 

[Southside_shug]

You still living in The Renton?
