Tbf the Vente song is a belter. And the Tavares one was certainly appreciated by the man himself at Dens (even though i don’t know the words!)

The Vente song is just a change of some lyrics of the Fernando Torres song. Considering he was at Liverpool over a decade ago it’s not original or new.

To me "ned" is akin to "chav" in being a bit of a classist insult, but yes that kind of behaviour from anyone is not on.

Can rely on .net to throw up some interesting things. 😉. ‘Chav’ is derived I think from Romany language where it was used simply to refer to youngsters which seems appropriate here. My perception is it came to be used mostly in the south to also infer some misbehaviour and a bit of a downmarket insult. It will have crept up here.

A lot of Edinburgh words come from Romany too but we would have used ‘Ned.’ I don’t think it was derived from ‘non-educated delinquent’ but that may not be far away in particular if dropping the first two. Ned definitely seems Scottish, perhaps originally referring to weegie gangs of youths.

From the thread it seems a fair bit of neddish behaviour has been going on regardless of the class or education of those involved.😂

From what I seen yesterday there was a lot of intimidation towards a few women trying to take their seats. Not suggesting block 7 were starting matters or throwing punches first but the intimidation and refusal to move and the constant banging into fans trying to take their seats instigated this minor brawl. It was embarrassing

This wasn’t bona-fire members of Block Seven, just hangers on who have attached themselves to the group.

I think you need to re-read the thread.

There seems to be a bit of confusion as to whether or not it is B7 or the hangers on neds who attach themselves to B7, either way it needs sorted out by either the B7 guys or the club itself as it shows the club and supporters in a bad light. My away days are long gone but I can imagine the frustration from the every day fan getting grief and hassle at these games, it's a shame these eejits spoil it for our fans.

We had to move to the far side of the stand at Dundee because B7 had taken the seats we'd booked. The having to move is bad enough but then wherever you sit you're likely to be in someone else's seats which pisses them off as well.

Chav is indeed a Romany word. in The 1970's when I first heard it, it wasn't pejorative. As you say, it's taken on a different meaning.

It sits alongside the like of shan, radge, barri, nash, dik, plank (to hide), pagger, chorey(steal), gadge, mort (a female, possibly one's girlfriend), jugal (dog), horny (police) as words introduced into the Edinburgh vernacular by settled travelling folk.

Interestingly, although the travelling community often emphasise that they aren't Gypsies (there are some with well known Gypsy names, like Blyth) the "cant" is largely made up of Romany words.

Hadn't heard mort, jugal or horny before. Bought up in Leith in the 50s,60s and 70s. Know and still use occasionaly all the rest.

Some Romany words collected in East Lothian in 1865. Linked to Hindu according to this guy.

Get it done, never seen the point of one drum, but I've got access to an old piano I could bring along.

It's coming, I can feel it in my bones.

All we need is a triangle player and some Maracas.

Either that or we just go full Mariachi band?

bring our own deck chairs to save shoving people out their seats?

I will email hibs to ask if we can request priority for our allocation of deck chairs

If we can get the Mariachi band going no chairs needed, we can just crowd out everyone else and stand in front of them.

Don't have a deck chair, will a folded director's chair be OK?

I used to be a dab hand at playing the thin paper wrapped over a comb thingy, sort of like a kazzooo.
So I'd be happy to dig my comb out and join the band

I never said it was new or original - just that I like it. You’d be hard pushed to find many football songs that haven’t been sung before

If our yet to be elected leader can be carried in on a sedan chair there'll be plenty space for your directors chair.

To maintain the B7 age differential of member to leader an urn may be more appropriate

An effigy might do a turn then?

Plenty room for a totem pole if we boot a few pensioners out their seats? I can see the club going for that if we model it on the appropriate club official?

A bit of adulation goes a long way it seems

If they aren’t members of b7, b7 should move them on as they are giving them a bad rep. If the hangers in want to be b7 why don’t they join and officially get in the b7 allocated area.

It's either B7 that are taking over the seats that they want and the hangers on following, or the other way round, whichever one it is, is wrong and needs sorted before this kicks off hugely and gets us in the papers again for the wrong reasons.

If the designated compulsory look is pishy breeks, egg yolk down the jumper, grey stubble, at least one tooth missing and a flasher's grubby raincoat then count me in. Wouldn't need to breenge in and throw folk out of their seats. Seats will be willingly vacated by non-B65 folk.

I can play the spoons. If they're not loud enough, I can just take my teeth out and use them as a castanet.
