Tresor / Shelvey chant

[wilks_bfc]

Not a fan of the specific lyrics but enjoy the tune. An alternative?

Agree with that

The tune was stuck in my head when I got home last night and went to bed

[Oldparkwood]

It's a pathetic chant.... Embarrassing. Fair enough if the player is no longer with us..... Until then it's a big no from me

[Ric_C]

This is all a problem the club have created with lack of communication and inconsistencies. Alan Pace at the Fans forum saying he is fit was a bit strange.

Compare it to the way the club dealt with the Foster situation last season, something's not adding up.

Also if he was that ill in the summer, why did he post an unhappy emoji on instagram when his move to Ajax fell through?

Not really bothered about the chant tbh, at least it created a bit of atmosphere.

[fatboy47]

I'd try not to fret over it.

It's the cricket field end at Burnley not St Catherine's Madrigal Choir.

Have to say I’d be keen to hear said choir chizzed up under the Friday night lights.

The club could have avoided this chant, by telling us straight what the situation is with Tresor, instead of pussyfooting around with half stories and allowing the rumours to grow. We pay money to support the team and if one of our players, on big wages, is not playing we should be told why.

If he hasn't downed tools, this chant will force the club to explain the situation.

[NewClaret]

All of the evidence suggests this guy has downed tools and is taking the **** out of the club, or at least he’s not making much effort to rep

If that perception is wrong I doubt Alan would’ve said what he did or the club would’ve clarified the position when the song was invented.

Personally I think the tune is very catchy and like that it shows we’re not a fanbase that accepts players messing our club around. Sends a good message in many ways.

Only downside to me is it’s about Shelvey, who has hardly kicked a ball, and not CJ who the lyrics would also have worked for (and who we desperately want to sign a new contract).

[bumba]

Awful chant up there with the Jack Walker is dead chant, embarrassing.
Why not switch Tresor out to B4stards and it'd be a great chant, like someone said above Shelvey isn't going to embrace it is he

[IanMcL]

Tbf i've had a laugh about the Tresor situation. But for all we know the stories about the lad being seriously ill have been true. The fact that he didn't leave in January makes me think this is the only logical conclusion now.

This

[Darthlaw]

The same cretins singing the chant will be the ones who loved Wout, went on to hate him when he left to play in the World Cup, hated him when returned to training with a sigh and then were happy for him to return, even lauding his body language at the start of this season.

Football cretins be fickle.

If Tresor (by some miracle) rocketed the winner in against the horse botherers in the playoff final, he would achieve club legend status and all would be forgotten what happened before.

[forzagranata]

We clearly need a committee to approve chants before anyone is allowed to open their mouths. Or maybe they can be run past the FAB for approval in conjunction with Russell Ball?

We also need a number where people can report anyone singing unauthorised chants.

Surprised Ball hasn’t had a dabble at writing a few.

Sorry mate but this is pretty daft. There is no way that a song slagging off a current player sends a good message to anyone.

If it does transpire that he’s struggling with something it will simply make those singing it look a right set of pricks.

It is catchy but there’s just no need to reference Tresor.

Same lot that prob jeered Trafford last season, and now sing his name, pathetic.

No it won't
And neither should it

Or perhaps don't sing songs against our own players, or celebrating people dying, then people wouldn't need to comment against them

[daveisaclaret]

Checked the score last night and got really worried people on here wouldn't be able to slag off Burnley fans, but thank God we've found a way

[steve1264b]

I would have thought its pretty obvious there is a medical issue with Tresor, whatever that is, so the club are bound by privacy issues and can't just announce what the problem is with our his permission.

Something like a broken leg is obvious but what if its something not obvious like (AND I MAKE THIS UP) HIV/Cancer/mental then the club cannot say what it is

[ksrclaret]

If people don’t like the song, fair enough, it’s in poor taste really.

But it does make me laugh that posters on here who object to a song that says we don’t care about Tresor (pretty tame) see no problem in calling our own fans every name under the sun.

What’s Russell Ball got to do with some Burnley fans not liking a song that other Burnley fans sing?

[JohnMac]

Should be directed at Weghorst not Tresor

[FeedTheArf]

Do like the tune. How about:

I don’t care about Rovers
They don’t care about me
All I care about
Is Burnley FC

[Goody1975]

I personally don't sing it but Tresor created his own narrative with his social media post at the beginning of September.

As for Shelvey distancing himself from the chant, he applauded the CFS after the game when they started singing it to him.

[Goody1975]

1, 2, 3, 4...

If 1,2,3,4 was used more often, then perhaps the modern fan would be able to keep in time with the music, rather than speeding up from 33rpm to 45rpm.

We could just ban singing and chanting altogether and have it all replaced with a banging drum.

[jos]

By not supporting Tresor getting himself back in the team, Anyone who sings it cannot by definition call themselves a Burnley supporter.

Sad state of affairs.

[Juan Tanamera]

Up until scoring our first goal last night it would be easy to think there was a ban on singing.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Tbh last night was a reminder with the full away end of that ridiculous situation where the half of the stand full of away fans is allowed to be more packed, and thus more atmospheric, than the home half. Would think solving that would be a club priority rather than moaning about atmosphere.

As for the chant, my long predicted Mikey situation is a form of rehabilitation that is hard to diagnose, e.g. a long covid, ME, side effects type of thing. If he had the rumoured illness then some kind of delayed side effect is very possible. Thus some in the club may feel he should be fit but the player feels he struggles. If that is the case it makes the chant not good at all, but the player always has the right to clarify anything, and he has chosen not to, something I am not convinced is in his best interests.

[AlargeClaret]

All the plumbs getting upset about a chant which is about as offensive as an episode of the One Show . Do people really think it’s an “ anti tresor “ chant ? Ffs nobody is remotely musing on the hopeless Belgian when they sing this dirge .

We’ll have to agree to disagree mate. My perspective is that there’s no evidence whatsoever he’s struggling with anything, else the club would’ve said as they did with Foster and should definitely have addressed it after the song came out.

Instead Pace said in an Instagram post that he loved the noise that we brought, which to be honest was mainly that song.

I can understand and respect why some don’t agree with it or want to sing it but I don’t think they should be too critical of those that do because, all things told, he’s taking our club for a ride.

[Sproggy]

I don’t want to inflame an already tense situation but some of the people who sang this cruel and heartless song which has clearly upset so many of our proper fans also went down for a beer before half time and then left the game early.

Foster gave permission for his situation to be made public,and even wrote about it himself.
If tresor hasn't given permission for his condition be made public then the club cannot say anything about it

There’s zero evidence either way tbh. My point was that I’m not really sure who you think it sends a good message to?

[Goody1975]

He seemed fit enough to join Ajax in September.

Again, I don't know anymore than anyone else on here, but some seem to suggest they are in the know about MT's current medical records.

Perhaps Ajax pulled out for a reason?

[Bosscat]

Perhaps Ajax read UTC

[Row x]

And perhaps it was an unfounded rumour

[Bordeauxclaret]

Perhaps Ajax read UTC

You’d hope not.

The only facts we know for certain is that he’s been selected by his own club once this season and no other club has signed him over two transfer windows.

[BurnleyFC]

Perhaps Ajax will come in for Shelvey instead.

[NewClaret]

Sorry, misunderstood your main point.

I think it sends a message to him/his agent that fans aren’t happy with his behaviour, a message to the other players who are working hard for the club that his attitude is noted and not appreciated, and generally to people around the club that we’re not a fan base who take kindly to players who try to steal a living here.

[Bow]

Grown men singing songs about other grown men is pretty embarrassing behaviour anyway when you actually think about it.

[AlargeClaret]

If you find my suggestion so restrictive it says a lot more about you than it does me!

Though seriously when was the last Burnley chant that included “ racism “ ? And while the Jack Walker chant is unpleasant , it’s pretty rare to hear it these days . As for the tamest softball chant of “ Mike Tresor not caring about us “ how low on the offended scale can that possibly be ?

[GetIntoEm]

Grown men melting about a song is just as bad.

Soy boys FC

[quoonbeatz]

Sorry, misunderstood your main point.

And what if you’re wrong about the situation? Still a good message?
