The “you let your country down” chant

[Inchy]

I hate it when the CFS sing this to England players but surely for consistency they should sing it to Tarks?

If it was at a major tournament then it'd be apt

[blackburnturfite]

My feelings are you let your Country down, and Jack Walker is dead, both should be binned..

[Il Duce]

It’s quite embarrassing really. Away fans look absolutely bemused by it too.

[cutsy123]

Jack walker is dead is one of the best we come out with

That might be the reason they sing it?

Said every 12 year old that knows no rhythm.

No it isn't really, and a p!ss poor attempt by you to be controversial.

Nah they might as well go to Ewood if they wanted to do that.

[cutsy123]

It was meant as all our songs are shite

You can be Musical Director cutsy.

Start today.

Zero hours contract mind you.

[Il Duce]

Yep, I’m sure the whole purpose of the song is to make away fans think ‘WTF?’. In fact, now that you mention it, I’m sure that’s the reason.

[Imploding Turtle]

Anyone who sings it is letting their family down.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Should be reserved for Scottish international players at the moment shouldn’t it?

[Falcon]

Yay. We can also sing it to our Irish lads, Vokesy and Arfield. None of them even qualified for the WC.

[aggi]

I think he's the wrong colour for that chant.

[Falcon]

Trying to imply it's only sung at Sterling because he's black are we?

I don't remember anyone saying it was racist when people abused Beckham after WC 98

[Quickenthetempo]

I think he's the wrong colour for that chant.

To say I have heard the chant to three players Sterling, Hart and Rooney.

What colour do you have to be? Hair products is more the likely link.

[Falcon]

There's plenty of racism in the world, but you're barking up the wrong tree if you think this chant is.

[UpTheBeehole]

Bizarrely Oxlade-Chamberlain got it as well.

Worst song in football.

[aggi]

It's in reference to the lengthy thread on here to do with that chant and Sterling (although the main thing I remember from the thread was Rowls becoming more and more desperate in his attempt to justify making up a quote).

[Falcon]

I don't recall the thread myself, but it doesn't surprise me that some of the less, erm, refined posters on here would resort to thinly veiled racism in the thread. Doesn't mean the majority of those singing it at the Turf are racist though.

It's still a shite song either way.

The Jack Walker chant makes me feel embarrassed to be associated with the idiots singing it. It wasn't clever when he died and it isn't now.

Unfortunately there's a section of fans who will call you all sorts of names for disliking us singing that song, who will say things like "we're just trying to create an atmosphere", equating not singing it to a tacit approval of the gentrification of football including goal music, cheerleaders and worst of the lot, a drum. Usually conveniently forgetting that you can create atmosphere by singing all sorts of songs, not just limited to downright evil ones like the JW one.
