Well according to these folk Sunshine on Leith is number 6, I was pleased at first but I actually think we should be in the top 3.
I cant figure out who number one is yet, perhaps they will let us know next week.
I know there are some that will blame the current Manager or Board or RP that we are only number 6 .

But this must be the best football Anthem ever sung at a cup final.
As Steven Fletcher said, puts goose bumps on the back o yer neck.

No.1 in Scotland. The yams and spin offs will gutted. The Sheffield Utd seems a unusual song anyone ever heard it?

The Liquidator would sound great at Easter Road as it sounds great any time, and place anywhere.

We should give it a spin against the Stickies, if we ever play them again.

The Swansea one will be up there. YNWA and Blue Moon will be too. 6th for us is not bad, but i reckon if we had the crowds like the teams mentioned singing it, it'd be higher.

Sunshine on Leith is top for me after You'll never walk alone, maybe. It's a great anthem.
Just enjoying another link from there, 'Top ten friendly fans' (English teams) and saw Notts County in there at number three. Quite right too! The reviewer forgot the 'Trent Navigation' (the Navvy) for a pre-match pint though.
'You genuinely have to respect these fans. You just know that anyone brought up to support Notts County in the Nottingham area and who manages to stick with them has got to be a decent sort. The temptations to swap alliances to your main rivals, who've won the league, the bloody European Cup, twice, and who patronisingly view you as a little brother, their 'second favourite team', must be massive. Imagine being a Notts County fan at school - young, impressionable, and not wanting to stand-out, and yet everyone's laughing at you because you're the only one wearing the black and white kit, the one your dad insists is "character building". Well guess what ? He's right. Anyone who sticks with the Magpies through that is going to make a decent set of fans, a view only amplified by our trips to Meadow Lane. The Southbank and the Globe, 2 pubs on either side of Trent Bridge, are decent pubs where you can get a decent drink and snap before the match and always seems to have a good mix of home and away fans.'

"You'll never walk again"
Or was that the Millwall anthem?
What is the Hearts' song? All the Hibees are gay?

It's better that the Yams variant of the song from 1986:
"We're forever blowing Doubles...."

When you look at the CIS cup final video and think how good it would be. i can't help think this is our year. i am a (distant) relative of Laurie Leslie (for the older hibees). trust me. this is the one. Look at John Collins at the end of the CIS cup final and tell me this isn't going to happen again? No way! This is our year. Think about it. We are only 180 minutes away from the best sing along ever. Have faith and hope. It's gonna happen. sit back relax, and enjoy the big one!!! PS we are not going down. Sunshine on leith = drink pish in gorgie. trust me this our year.

Cannae post a link from my phone, but, if Wiki can be believed (I know!) there may be some foundation to that Swansea link.

Its so embarrassing watching that scene from the CIS final - waterworks everywhere, every time. Had to explain myself to the kids this time.
"What's wrong daddy, why are you upset?"
"I'm not upset I'm very happy because I'm remembering one of the best days ever"
"Why are your eyes leaking then?"
"Because sometimes you are so happy that you just cry..."
God knows what would happen if we won the Scottish.

Its funny how all of the top footy anthems dont mention the name of the club concerned, but perhaps thats what makes them so poignant. I think SOL is up there, even with youll never walk alone because it is such a moving song anyway and pretty unbeatable when sung by 30,000 folk.

As much as YNWA is decent tune, and linked to specific clubs, it is not place specific, or people specific. Would be a fair claim to say that it is almost a generic football song. . SOL is just Hibs from start to middle to end. In that sense it is original, iconic and stand-alone and only belongs in a category on its' own.

I had to go to a 60th birthday party last night. Was in one of Glasgow's rougher schemes and I was having one of the worst night outs ever until some big bald bloke started to sing on the kareoke. Really perkd me up, put me in a good mood and ended up having a great night. And what was he singing, well Sunshine on Leith of course. The worlds no a bad place after all :).
