sleepless Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 As I'm working my way through various threads on here a few questions arise, and I thought I'd ask them on a separate thread. Feel free to add your own Saints-related random questions here.For starters:why did we start singing Sweet Caroline and when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Its a John Connolly thing I believe. How many Saints managers have "lost the dressing room"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali91 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 John Connolly's favourite song I believe? I like it, the more singalong songs the better IMO. Mike and JEccles621 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxLeahSaintxX Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 When did 'The Liquidator' start becoming a regular thing? I want to make the Jody Morris link but feel I may be clutching at straws! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 And when can it please stop?I like it & think it should be our anthem. Sounded good when we were belting it out at final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Another question: Bristling with Possibilities, talking about the home leg against SV Hamburg, reports: The “choir” in the enclosure was full of vocal backing and the evening air was filled with songs which, while many of them are not suitable for reproduction here, are well known to many Perth supporters. Does anyone know what those songs were? Edited May 27, 2014 by sleepless Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slf Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 And when can it please stop? I agree,I hate it as well.unfortunately we are stuck with it now. I am a fan of the liquidator as I love ska music.i ken there's folk that don't like that tune either. Ye just can't please everybody. andy rhodes fancy watch and null vier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 When did 'The Liquidator' start becoming a regular thing? I want to make the Jody Morris link but feel I may be clutching at straws! Pretty sure that's it. Chelsea have played it before games for ages and we pinched it. I'd also be interested to learn what sort of stuff Saints fans sung in the 60s.

Strawman Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I think Jody Morris asked for the liquidator when he was captain, could just be in my head though. XxLeahSaintxX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE LARK SAINT Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 John Connolly's favourite song I believe? I like it, the more singalong songs the better IMO.

Like that ane SLF? My big brother was at the Hamburg game and can mind him sayin' a few of the North Stand boys were humming the Dambusters tune. Also mind Pecker sayin' there was a chant of "we won the war" and "two nil two nil" refering tae WW1 and WW2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagerf Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Did not get to go to Hamburg game as was living away at the time but next home game we beat Motherwell 5-1 but the woman behind us was giving the team pelters for being rubbish so we must have been fantastic because we ran rings round Motherwell Edited May 27, 2014 by Cagerf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balhousie Blue 1884 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Sweet Caroline! Never liked the song before but was finally won over at Cup Final. Still like watching the clip when TW tries to sing it with 15000 Saintees. At least the song`s not an Old Firm rip-off. Always hated when Saintees sang ``Hail, Hail, The Saints are here`` or ``Hullo, Hullo We are the Muirton Boys''. PauloPerth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
