    True but he could get a flashy set of stabilisers and some tassles on his handlebars.

    It was funny the first few times it was sung. Started at the Altrincham match when the team fully deserved it.

    It's carried on while we have been steadily improving and IMHO the joke had worn very thin after 10 or 15 minutes of the same chant at Wigan.

    Point was made, we all laughed along at first. Think Lee and the team should have carried on grinning and bearing it a while longer rather than going public in the way that they have .

    However, let's now get behind the team and manager and show everyone that even when our team is bottom of the league, we are still the best supporters .

    Maybe the club could issue us with a Fans Lexicon, detailing exactly what's appropriate and when.

    Your essential input will bring the thread back round though.

    This for me...

    I'd prefer it if they found a way to win more football matches. I don't really care if they find stuff funny or not.

    If folk were singing about me as I was going about my business, I'd be a lot more motivated by:

    One bloke called Jay, there's only one bloke called Jay

    rather than:

    He's Jay, he's gay, his hair is **** and he's a lovely person, tra la laaa, tra la laaa

    No matter how much funnier the second one is.

    Some on here have made it clear that they want Johnson out, so of course they're going to jump straight on this 'news'. Others who kind of defend Johnson or don't want another manager sacked, they'll see nothing wrong with said 'news'. Some folk just can't swerve. They have an agenda or set out opinion that then makes it impossible to agree/disagree with certain events.

    Of course though, you will get others who just go with the flow as events happen. I don't particularly find these chants amusing, nor do I join in myself but I certainly don't think they're affecting the team negatively because conversely, I've seen them supported by thousands regularly and they wilt like the weak as piss, feeble buggers they often are. I don't think it was newsworthy. But it's LJ and he's untouchable.

    Had this been Keith Hill saying it, this would have been a 5 pager by now, and some of those defending LJ would be digging Keith out. Like I say - agenda driven.


    Merry Xmas.

    Only a minor issue Mr Jay

    Winning games has to be the priority.

    Losing games gets managers the sack!

    Unless your name is Lee Johnson

    He's lucky were not signing Johnson Out , Sack the board and telling the players to get off the pitch the useless cnuts .

    Thankfully we've turned a corner

    I would like to think so Cross Tyke but let's review it after tomorrow.
    This is a massive game for both teams
