That's not the version I heard. The one I heard from them I posted in the Sevco meltdown thread.

The way they misappropriated "You'll Never Walk Alone" is shameless.

I'm no Liverpool fan but that song should be theirs and theirs alone, to acknowledge and remember Hillsborough IMO

Doesn't count, they've not been around long enough to qualify for a proper football song.

I couldn't agree more.
You'll Never Walk Alone is unquestionably the anthem of Liverpool FC.
It was adopted by and sung by the legendary 25,000 strong Liverpool Kop shortly after Gerry and The Pacemakers took it to the top of the charts way back in 1963. It was a time when Mersey side (The Mersey Beat) conquered the world, led by, of course, The Beatles. Celtic have latched onto it despicably.
Imagine another team adopting Sunshine On Leith as their anthem!!

We sang it during the 60's to the 90's. Don't know why we stopped.

Nah, it's a song about a sentiment, not a place and Celtic fans were singing it long before Hillsborough, as did Hibs fans on ocassion. What about us singing Glory, Glory or Hail , Hail. Neither were originally Hibs songs. Shameless, my erse.

On the subject of fitba songs .... My first wife was brought up in the Salvation Army and I used to go to some of their services with her. Imagine my horror and amusement at one service when the pianist started banging out the Hearts song. Turns out that Mr Nicol had derived more than a little inspiration from an old Sally Army hymn written by Fanny Crosby called 'blessed assurance' ..... I don't know if he ever acknowledged where he got the idea for the Hearts song from, but if he didn't .....naughty Mr Nicol

I was always fairly certain we were the first adaptation of glory glory into a football chant.

Loads of (older) football songs come from church songs, including Glory Glory to the Hibees by that same Mr Nicol (original is Glory Glory Hallelujah). Another example is the peerless classic You're Not Singing Anymore, which adapts the chorus of Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer.

Most of these songs will be old enough to be public domain anyway.

The East Stand sang YNWA towards the end of the 6-2 game. Clear as a bell on the DVD.

It's actually an amalgam of 3 songs: Blessed Assurance (this is my story), Flanders & Swann's Hippopotamus Song (mud mud glorious mud) and the Old Orange Flute (away up in Gorgie etc).

So basically they're manky Orange *******s with a misplaced faith. :wink:

I was chief Usher at my brother in laws wedding a few weeks back and Lord of the Dance was one of the songs sung at the church.

I was having a sing off with the best man; me singing the Hibs version and him singing We are the boys from the West Country. He's from Cornwall.

Both better than the original!

I know Liverpool were singing it before Hillsborough but I'm guessing the OP meant that it's now linked with those events, a show of solidarity amongst the fans, and for a Celtic to try use it to jump on that bandwagon was crass. Don't think he was having a go at Pool Scouse, think he was sticking up for you.

I don't for one minute think he was having a go either,in fact I know he wasn't. Just wondered what he was meaning.

:agree:

Thanks Ian. Just speaking personally, YNWA took on a special significance for me after Hillsborough, it became something more because of the loss suffered on 15/4/89. As I said, I'm not a Liverpool fan but I like to think that when it gets sung at every home game, there's some thought about those who didn't go home that day.

That's why I think other clubs should leave it to LFC. Celtc have form for being tacky and taking songs from other clubs. I find it abhorrent in this case. I know we went through a phase of singing YNWA in the mid-nineties, with an increase in tempo after the first round and some funky rhythmic clapping :greengrin

I was still at school, laid up with a leg injury at home that Saturday. The game wasn't televised live but as it started to unfold they went to live coverage. I remember seeing footage of fans using the hoardings as makeshift stretchers, even as a child you knew that things had broken down when you saw that. The death toll took a long time to come through. At first it was injuries, then one dead, then two. It stayed at two for a long time. Then it just kept going up. I think it wasn't until the next day or the day after that we knew what the final figure was.

Horrible, horrible event and something we must never forget.

Yeah, I find it hard to watch anything about it without the tears starting.

There will be a number of people on here and who go to games who weren't even born when Hillsborough happened, my children amongst them.

I hope that if we learn any lesson it's to be prepared to challenge authority, in a reasonable and legitimate way.

Not all the time but just when it's injust.

Seems everyone is just keeping our words. Seen this on twitter this morning. Warburtons a fanny sung at end of The View concert in Glasgow last night.
