This D-I-S-C-O thing

Has got me thinking.

Hows about a song for each player when they score a goal. I know it may be difficult bearing in mind my ineptitude/blindness, but the way it works is when say Devaney scores we play D-I-S-C-O. But what records could we play for the others. I know this sounds a bit Adam Hinchcliff - ish but it could be a bit of a giraffe. Waddya think - and what could we use?? (please no crap that no one has ever heard either, we can play enough of that ourselves)

PS can anyone give me the thread addy for that one where adam suggests dog turnstiles and was being a bit badgerist.

Merry Xmas!

 

I'd suggest

not playing anything when a player scores, so we can hear the cheer of the crowd

 

RE: I'd suggest

Agreed. Celebrating a goal is one of the best, and noisiest, parts of the game. Its spoilt when we get some tinny crap loudly parped over the top of it all. Footie crowds should be allowed to be spontaneous.

 

I quite like the music thing..

But mainly because of Oakwell is never loud enough for us to wait for the cheers.

Not sure what songs though- although I do love the Disco thing. lol.

 

RE: I quite like the music thing..

Maybe instead of playing music, they can play a track which is just a recording of fans celebrating a goal. Surely, that'd help?

 

I agree with eaststander

no music when we score please. It is just annoying but if we're going to have anything then why can't it just be the instrumental version of blue moon? (ie its just like watching brazil).

While we've got you here Klaitz, what does it mean on the scoreboard when it says that the music is provided by asda? Do you work for asda or something? Because the music hasnt changed since they started putting that message up, we still have the same shitty demo tapes and crap music played in an attempt to pass for pre match 'entertainment'. I'm not getting at you, I think you do a good job on the mic but those that choose the music are either tone death or havent bought a new song since 1987.

A few suggestions for entertainment.
1. No music after goals or blue moon.
2. Toby tyke doing his run.
3. Themetune (the proper one) started earlier so that the crowd can start clapping before the players are on the pitch.
4. Don't announce the team as soon as they apear out of the tunnel. There is no point having a themetune if you're just going to turn it off straight away. Either come up with a way to have the themetune still audible while you're reading the teams or just read it a minute before they come out or a couple of minutes after theyre out.
5. We have legends at oakwell at half time. Can you not get a quick interview with them or something? Its a shame to just have them appear and dissapear.
6. A quick interview with a player or even ritchie or shep before games? They all walk past you so a couple of minutes talking wont hurt.

What do you reckon?

 

RE: I'd suggest

Can't think where I saw it , but after a goal was scored on the P.A. they said " Goal, by number (whatever it was of the player) and the fans responded by shouting the guys name in spain somewhere I think .

 

Agreed

playing music when the atomos is at its best?..no ta..

 

adam hinchcliffe sugested that

ypnks ago. he could sue you you knowff

 

RE: adam hinchcliffe sugested that

Ballax. Sorry Ads.

 

Dave

Can you play timerider - cocoon before every home game. Its quality and all the fans love it. Cheers.

 

Sounds a great idea

I'll volunteer to be one of those shouting his name in Spain.

Not sure how we get out there so quickly after the goal.

Seriously though - it's Germany where they do that (maybe elsewhere also).

 

hes done all the best ideas... sorry

 

RE: I agree with eaststander

1.As a purist, I have sympathy but this music after the goals job is here to stay (I think)
2. Toby cant do his run, I suggested that cos it was good, but apparently its banned by the FA (!)
3. We can do that no worrys.
4. The ref gets to halfway line before teams are announced, thats the only way to fit 30 names, 4 refs and lines men and loadsa sponsors in. I would **** myself if they started whilst I was still spouting on!
5. Good idea - its pretty tricky to get it so that they can be heard tho' (and I'm a crap interviewer!)
6. They both have an important job to do and are busy and focussed before the game. Not really on that one

No ST I dont work for Asda, but they give us CD's which we are grateful for (and we played loads of charty stuff last week and week afoor!)

And if you can find me an instumental version of Blue Moon that don't sound like a funeral (cos I can't)please let me have a copy (now a samba blue moon would really be something!)

Sorry to be a bit neg but its not as easy as it looks!

Cheers!

Klaitz

 

Noooooooooooooooooo!

please not music when we score.
youre killing me,I'll stop singing...I will,

 

toby Tyke cant do his run because of FA!!! thats pathetic by the FA

 

and besides..

everyone is too busy doing the"easy" thing nowadays to be bothered about some crappy tune that knowone can hear anyway...
us, like dee-dahs....hope not..

 

Thats not being negative. You were just answering the questions

which is greatly appreciated.

Who is it that says music after goals have to stay? Do you reckon we might be able to bombard them with requests for it to be dropped? ff

I'll do some investigating about toby's run, see if we can get it allowed again by the FA. You never know your luck.

Good point about the interviews and reading names out and i'll have a look for a decent version of blue moon for you. Probably wont be able to find anything though.

Thanks for your replies.

 

Just telling you!
