I remember a (rubbish) song that used to be sung on the Riverside when I was young. Not sure of the exact wording but went something l;ike -
There were two crows sat in a tree As black as black as crows could be Said one black crow unto the other ‘You are a black enamel fcuker
Not sure if there were racial undertones to it or not, I was oblivious to it if there were.
But it got me thinking about songs you don't hear anymore like -
Shropshire aggro, Shropshire aggto, Hullo, hullo...
or -
3 - 0 to the Shoosbury ...
Any others people remember?

I used to love the old "knock kneed chicken and bow legged hen " finishing with " if I catch you I'll cut your legs right off ........ "
Oh those were the days , classic songs to sing to your kids especially at Christmas.
Well, you've got to keep the old traditions up otherwise , as they say once they've gone there lost forever.

My memories not that good these days but you have just mixed two golden oldies. There again its fashionable to remix classics so the new version is knock kneed mother brown.

Any others people? Not racist but aimed at the referee. one of the worst chants of all time sung mainly by the lads from the Wheatsheaf.

The black enamel song was aimed at the ref and followed a poor decision, not that good though. Another poor offering was an attempt at a version of Walsall's, "Everywhere we go", the Wolves fans did a better version years later and called it the corner shop song.
Anyone remember this?
S. R. A., we're Shoosbury republican army. We're barmy where ever we go.

Or if they'd spent all morning in The Wheatsheaf, and didn't know where they were, or what they were doing there. Mind you, I've been to loads of Salop games, where I've thought, "what the **** am I doing here?".

Going off on a bit of a tangent, but does anyone recall away fans on the river side? Sheff Wednesday sticks in my head. There must have been lots of them all along the side, but one on his own in front of the buffet. This lad was built like a brick s**thouse and tried to take on the entire Town choir on his own.

Can't believe this has come up, I thought i was the only one who remembered that. I was a young kid stood right down by the wall on the Riverside. He was eventually tipped over the wall right next to us on to the pitchside by two equally huge bikers, blood all over his face. Back when the hard men of the Riverside were mostly bikers based in the Benbow I seem to recall.

Thought you'd be keeping your head down after the 6-0 mauling your lot suffered on Sunday. I can only assume the land of the rising sun has'nt caught up yet with the results . Oh,by the way Town won 1-0 so , all in all agreat week-end don't you agree.

With the cricket and Spurs losing 2-0 (that was the score when I turned TalksportLive off, and I'm sticking with it ) Town winning was probably the only thing that prevented me from jumping in front of a bullet train this morning, Severn mate.

Don't do that ! You'll have ample opportunity later on in the season when Spurs completely collapse . One ray of sunshine owd lad , Bale has gone ( obviously saw the writing on the wall ) but AVB has still got that goal scoring machine Adebayor to call on. Oh dear , and we think Town have got problems . Chin up lad , both of em .
