Prove me wrong and Dnipro appeal gets £50.00

[mickki40]

Here's the bet. There has been a lot of speculation and talking going on with regards to the tune "we love you" the one made famous by St Pauli Fans. The one the singing section were doing on Saturday. I say it is not originating from Glasgow Celtic. Prove me wrong and the Dnipro appeal gets £50.00 from me. So to all the mouthy folks who jumped on a bandwagon and repeated what they heard, all you have to do is prove me wrong

THE SONG "WE LOVE YOU" Known to the football world to have been introduced by St Pauli Fans as a football chant, did not originate From Glasgow Celtic f.c.

Go on you know you want me to lose.

I thought everything originated from the greatest fans on Earth.:confused:

" Cletic ! - Making what's yours, ours, since 1888 " !!

I'll put a tenner in !

[Beefster]

If I understand this right, you're saying that both St Pauli and Celtic sing the same song and now that we've started singing it, we're taking our cue from an obscure German team (obscure in Scotland) rather than a hated team in our own league?

I don't care either way but it seems less likely that everyone singing it has seen St Pauli on the TV or at ER and decided to sing their song than it being Celtic. Even if it is originally a St Pauli song, it's impossible to prove who the song came from.

Anyway, in the grand scheme of things, this comes way below everything else, including the loos not having soap on Saturday.

Celtic definitely started that one. :agree:

[DC_Hibs]

Exactamundo Beefcake.

Plenty people are well aware where it started but its the fact that Celtic are well known to sing this drivel that gets on peoples goat.

Concentrate on getting as big a group as possible together singing Hibs songs and trying new ones. A bit of originality rather than reading the Ultras handbook and taking tips from the sectarian tramps from Glasgow.

[Hainan Hibs]

Aren't St Pauli another "poor us, always the victim" club like Septic?

Copying a song from either club should warrant a £50 quid donation to Dnipro appeal.

Despite many, many attempts the Hibs song book remains a little thread bare. It seems any attempt to introduce something new is met with resistance.

This seasons St Pauli song was last seasons Utah Saints song, I Believe, which some folk were appalled by on the grounds it was American, but obviously in a different way from the greatest Hibs song ever ripping off John Browns Body.

Everyone would love a new Glory, glory to the Hibees. Sadly there's no sign of one.

Even if the proclaimers did one, and made us the next GGTH, the miserable sods at the ground would still find something wrong with it.

At least those in section 43 are trying to do something, they dont always get it right, but still need help from all of us.

Instead of moaning about some of the songs, or the words, get yer erses along and help, or join in with the ones you do approve of instead of moaning like f about other fans trying their hardest to get some sort of atmosphere going at the morgue.:rolleyes:

[bingo70]

Whats wrong with just singing songs that people already know?

Sitting beside the singing section is like being forced to watch an episode of glee with all these pish songs that keep getting trotted out, great that they're trying to do something about the atmosphere but think there can be an atmosphere without singing songs that aren't appropriate for whats happening on the pitch.

So had this not been introduced to Scottish football by celtic, the singing section still would have sung it as someone heard I at a st Pauli match?

Either way, you're copying Celtic because they invented it, or you're copying Celtic because the stole it from st Pauli first.

Deffo matey...I would agree the hearts stuff has to go until Derby Day. But quite a lot has been done since the whole 12th man etc started. A lot of stuff has gone, and needs to be replaced. To some of us, we look further afield for songs. Such as St Pauli. They are amongst the best in Germany. We also look to U.S. College basketball. Some good stuff going on there. Inspired By Sellick...eerrrrrrr nah.

Totally Agreed. The point of the post was for some fans who are very selective. As you rightly point out "Hail Hail" is sung at Darkheid. It was simply a thread so those folks who started posting stuff on here facebook etc and Jumping on bandwagons etc. I was immediately stopped by a Hibee in the 4 in Hand and was asked why we were singing Celtics songs. I said we will cease "Hail Hail" immediately. He walked away confused. GGTTH HTID

Well that's debatable.

Anyway, I'm actually not that bothered if you are singing a 'Celtic' song(as long as its not up the ra or any that nonsense). I just can't see how you can dispute that this one isn't copying them.

If Celtic hadn't copied st Pauli then neither would our singing section.

It's fine, doesn't matter.

Apart from the fact you owe £50 to Dnipro appeal.

[BroxburnHibee]

I think you need to stop having petty little arguments on here - do your best to ignore it and get on with what your trying to achieve.

Its plainly obvious you are never going to please everyone - so don't try to.

I've enjoyed some of what you've brought to the ground - but not all of it. That will evolve though and hopefully you will all learn from any mistakes you feel you have made.

Dotnet is a fairly large cross section of the support but its nowhere near all of it.

[Andy74]

This is brutal.

This and all the various names or groups that cropped up after the sining section came into being.

It was a good idea, get everyone together who wants to sing but it seems to have caused some people to believe they are a group and that other people want to attack this group.

For what it's worth you can't force new songs either in the creation of them or in them catching on. The best ones just happen and if they work then they will catch on because people like them.

Trying to actively come up with songs and expect them to catch on - no, not going to happen.

The bet was simply to prove that Celtic did this song before St Pauli ( they didn't)

I would never give Celtic any Credit for starting that song. It seem a lot of Hibs fans do though

When you hear that song in Scotland you think of Celtic, not any other side from the 2nd tier of Germany, in fact I think Celtic have ties with ST Pauli and that's where they, not the singing section got the idea.

Dress it up as you like but that tune is a Celtic tune. It's like singing you'll never walk alone and saying it's Liverpools or doing the Poznan, in this country it was started by Celtic and is related to that vile mob.

Kammi, St Pauli have ties with many teams across Europe, Celtic have latched onto them as well, i think Rangers fans linked up with Hamburg as a result.
I hear that song i certainly don't think 'oh thats Celtics song, better not sing it' football chants are copied throughout the world, the Poznan is pretty cool when pulled off, Celtic again have fans, esp the travelling support who will join in with it. The last time we played them in the cup they did it and the TV picked up on it, i'm sure if Hibs did it, it would also get picked up, but at the moment when we have more seats that fans, its going to look pretty naff

No way am i sticking up for Celtic, but lets put things into perspective.
Hibs v Inverness, you'll get maybe 50 odd Hibbys doing it, Celtic v Inverness the whole Celtic support will do it so it gets noticed, and hence people think its their song

last time we played Rangers at Ibrox, the Blue Order or Union Bears (whatever they are called) were singing Ally McCoists Blue and White army, we changed the words to fit our manager (which rotates on a yearly basis at the moment! :greengrin )
Does that make the song a Rangers song?

I thought and if i'm wrong i apologise, that You'll never walk alone is a Liverpool song?


I don't get this 'thats their song so we can't do it' rubbish
We have barely enough songs to get through the first 10 minutes of a game without repeating ourselves and how many times do you really want to hear Hail Hail... in the space of a game.

Cool man, I get what your saying and I'll take a lot of what your getting at on board, I just feel, especially after reading all the hard work being done by the singing section, looking at other clubs and cultures etc (which by the way is all class and should be applauded) to then go with a chant that's sung by Celtic fans is a bit meh! It does remind me of Celtic when I heard it. Surely it would be even better if we could pick up a chant or something unknown to the Scottish game then make it our own?

The singing set-up at FC Dnipro is interesting. They have a special platform in the singing section that the organisers stand on to conduct the signing. I was invited into the "fan tribune" the last time I was over and it was very well organised. There are codes of practice that need to be observed, right down to the colour of your clothes, and if you fall foul you get told to "exit stage left".
Very well organised and very impressive when in full flow.

Actually Manchester United fans claim to be the first to have sung that song, after the Munich Air Disaster in 1958 - then Liverpool adopted it when Gerry and The Pacemakers recorded it, and Man Utd dropped it.

Has been heard many a time over the years at ER.

Jings, crivvens and help ma' boab.

Here's my tuppence worth which you can ignore if you wish :greengrin

At the request of well meaning fans the club agreed to allocate an area of the East Stand as the singing section. Those well meaning fans were soon joined by others who wanted to help generate a supportive atmosphere in the form of singing. Essentially this group are behind the efforts to expand and improve the singing at games and are in the process of creating a 'song book' so that the songs sung are relevant and supportive of the players and their efforts on the park. Now this is not an elite group, a clique or a secret society and the main guys behind it all post on here but are often shot down/ridiculed for their efforts which in my opinion is unfair. Yes there are some guys who stand in that area and who persist in singing songs about Hearts and Craig Thomson but efforts are being made to win them over to the 'lets just sing Hibs songs' idea.

Songs at football matches are often 'shared' by different teams. The St Pauli/Celtic theme of this thread is intriguing as some are suggesting we shouldn't sing it because Celtc fans do. Afraid I don't agree and as long as we sing songs, using whatever tunes fit the bill, about Hibs then that's good enough for me.

When you hear that song in Scotland you think of Celtic, not any other side from the 2nd tier of Germany, in fact I think Celtic have ties with ST Pauli and that's where they, not the singing section got the idea.

Dress it up as you like but that tune is a Celtic tune. It's like singing you'll never walk alone and saying it's Liverpools or doing the Poznan, in this country it was started by Celtic and is related to that vile mob.


Still amazed on How many hibs fans can't wait to wrongly credit Celtic with starting this tune. St Pauli did it first. Refer to the original bet.

That's true, that's done with irony and a piss take out them when we're beating them so it's all good.

I accept it must be hard to start new tunes and I also appreciate the singing section but a bit of originality wouldn't go a miss in my eyes. I know I'll get told I should start new songs then but it's not me singing songs about Hearts every week then copying Celtic.


I now want you to tell me how many songs in the previous week to last Saturday Hearts songs were sung? No ... don't bother. The previous home game in the league was v Pars. I am Happy to say that no hearts songs were sung that game. However that would be because at that time Hearts were not the subject of being sold by St Vlad. Watch the next home game and listen and then count how many Hearts songs get sung. Probably none. This is an observation, not a criticism. Hearts in the doo doo gets more mentions. Will all be forgot now till A, Derby Day...C, They get wound up. Seriously though, listen at the next game thanks.

Mibbe a judging panel would be a good idea for each home game !

It seems many are willing to take on the role of Simon Cowell !
