So it’s not bigoted but is made up of words that feature in other songs? Aside from the fact that all songs are made up from words that feature in other songs, I’m not sure where you are going with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it’s just lifted verses some some of your more “cultured songs” but I only brought that up to take the piss out of you being so happy it’s not a bigoted song. A man with no affiliation or relationship your club banging out a tweet about “the battle fever” when he’s just there to get a wage is tin pot. He’s playing the gallery of people that’ll slap each other on the back and post on forums about “he gets us, he understands this club.” Is that more appropriate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus. There is clutching and then there is this. It’s not bigoted, just deluded. No surprise there though from the brainwashed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out I was wrong (that was "Bring the thunder") but in checking I found something weird The biggest source of hits for the term on google was "Battle Fever J" a 1980s japanese superhero show But the weirdest thing is that BFJ was effectively the precursor to the Power Rangers, coincidence? well probably but lets assume not for fun Do any other Scottish clubs have mottos that attach them as deeply into geek culture?

topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) The use of tired Military metaphors in sport is inevitably at least a bit "tin pot" but it should be judged on a sliding scale In a scale of 1 to 10 where 1/10 is using the clichéd term "Midfield General" and 10/10 is Piers Morgan running the headline "Achtung Fritz For you ze Euro 96 championship is over" with mocked up pictures of Pearse and Gascoine in tin hats then "Battle Fever" is probably a three or a four Edited January 25, 2023 by topcat(The most tip top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
