What is that all about anyway? I could understand the sentiment when the Club was on it's knees, but not now, surely.

The idea is to try and get people to be more vocal and get behind the team . What's wrong with that ?

You can be vocal without having to stand up.

Can't be the only one that likes it? Better than sitting in silence.

Doesn't it refer to the era of Beelzebub and all that goes with it? Not bad for a battle cry I'd say, Rangers/Celtic fans still sing about wars from 400 years ago.

Until OFF says we can stop, the chant will continue, he has copyright on it and earns royalties everytime it is sung.

Started well before FB. Was a LOFT slogan nicked by off. I quite like it though, because Brisbane Road can be a library at times.

We don't exactly have a wealth of them. Don't see the problem with it, don't think it being a legacy of the Bechetti era invalidates it.

^That. Think certain people have an issue with it because of who it was popularised by, which is a bit petty.

Also it came about during our legal battle over the Olympic Stadium, f*** all to do with Beelzebub.

Of course that's the issue. It's intrinsically linked to the god awful #STFUO facebook group.
