Port Power + INXS = Bloody Awful!

Post: # 1603481Post Sainternist »

What the hell was this BS with Port fans singing that garbage ballad by one of Australia's most overrated bands? It was like a poor man's version of Liverpool fans doing a rendition of "you'll never walk alone".

I hate INXS. Who could forget the day they played with their scab lineup before the 2010 GF. I've never seen 100,000 footy fans look so bored out of their minds. To those who love listening to that crap, I don't apologise.

Is there any chance we could give Port a taste of their own medicine when they next come down to play us at Docklands by having this pisstake cover (of above mentioned pissweak song) play over the PA when those smurfs run out to take the field?

It is, without a doubt, the poxiest thing in football...it often pointed out (mainly by Crows fans) that it is absolutely a poor man's version of Liverpool's "You'll Never Walk Alone". I hope this crap doesn't catch on.

You'll be waiting a while if history is anything to go by.

Apparently the Tigers are now using Darryl Braithwaite's cover version of the the Rickie Lee Jones song 'horses'.

The AFL never disappoints when it comes to turning the cringe-o-meter up to 11.

Gee whiz! That sounds horrendous. I hope our club resists doing something so utterly silly.

The only songs I'll ever be sing along with are (obviously) 'Oh when the Saints go marching in' and this one would be fantastic to bring back as something for us to all sing in unison:

They've been singing it at least for the last year if not two.

I had a feeling they'd been doing it for a while. One or two years too long. It is embarrassing to the real supporters of the game.

Are you kidding

I think it is fantastic

35thousand holding up thier scarves, music booming "never tear us apart", it must send shivers down the spine of anyone there

For years we have been saying on here that is the sort of thing we want at etihad, so why the bagging of this

It sounds like everyone is jealous of it being a successful pre game routine. I wish the saints came up with it.
The footy is so sterile during the pre game build up, and all of the breaks. The footy has been great this weekend though and I can't wait to go next wek

I like the song however I think in the context of a football game it's a little bit odd !
" Never tear us apart " is essentially a love song .
Whereas " You'll never walk alone " is a show tune .

What i'd like to see is " I like it both ways " by supernaught played before our games .

Because another team thought of it first.

Running out to the start of ACDC's Hells Bells would do me.

I hated INXS

I hate that song, Horses

I'm an Evertonian, so don't ask me what I think of Liverpool fans

I'm not having a good day
