And I thought PARRAS was a **** poster ...

 

Yeah, but the Melbourne kid obviously hasn't escaped puberty yet. What's Parra's excuse?

I actually can't believe he posted a picture of his awards.

Far out, first he says it's a diss chant against lebos and goes on to say 73% of lebs live in sydney, then goes to say it is against lebs, then their chant has a quote that says scarfers pub we will attack, which is EXACTLY what they did LOL!

This game seriously is an idiot, go PING PING PING SOMEWHERE ELSE!

And also, can doe one already change the thread name already?

We all agreed on;

THE MELBOURNE PING PING PING THREAD

I'll admit it my argument has changed a bit. The rest of your quote, just lol.

So you're admitting that you can't even hold an argument, mad

Also, is attacking a scarfers pub not what you guys did? Is that what you're saying? If not, what is wrong with the rest of my quote?

Please don't change your argument again lol

And

PING PING PING!

the scarfers pub refers to when the RBB attempted to attack a pub that melbourne victory scarfers where at not west Sydney, not the north terrace. Thankfully the police stopped it before any problems arose.

Ok so let's ignore the Melbourne incident, want I know why no one believes you that the Melbourne pub got attacked when you his were here? Because it never happened, if anyone tried anything they would have been arrested, so tell me PING PING PING lady, how many arrests were made that night to prove your theory?

 

If there was no cops at the pub, you're theory might have been a little more believeable, the fact that no arrests were made and no media reports about it, tells me it didn't happen.

 

No look at the Melbourne incident, no cops around at the time Ben when they were told how many were traveling and were RBB would be, look at what happened.....

I think they take their awards very seriously in private schools.

Evening Lads, just to clear a few things up. 

 

 

AM I HEARING ALE ALE AHOOO NOW? WTF

 

We've been using this tune since 2007ish 

 

Ale ale alee-ooo

Ale ale alee-ooo

Melbourne score a goalllll

So we can go mentalllll

 

I agree that song stealing in the A-League is rife - we know as well as anyone.

 

 

 

As for the 'Habibi' song: it's a jaunty, catchy, irreverent pisstake which started after the last Parramatta Away and has become a pub favourite. 

 

The song isn't discriminatory (we're not racist... I've been in the NT since day 1, have met hundreds of people through the scene, and can confidently say it's one of the most diverse movements in Victoria).

 

Take Habibi how it's meant: a silly ode to how your part of the world is represented on television.

 

For me, one of the best parts of the football fan experience is humour, in the traditional English way. Banter back and forth. Clever wind ups. Even sometimes pushing the normal boundaries. Some of you would do well to lighten up a bit.

 

(Incidentally, your "ya mum" Tifosi diss in Parramatta was pathetically lame, primary school stuff. Conversely, the one you brought to Melbourne when the NT boycotted on December 28 was at least clever, and I admit it did cut deep. Credit for bringing that; the league needs more of it).

You haven't posted any pictures of your awards. Your point is invalid.

Almost as seriously as bastardising the Year 7s, pulling as many dollars out of the parents under the illusion that the fees will actually go into educational resources, and covering up nasty incidents involving the PE teacher and some Year 9 boys behind the bike shed...

[Montalbano]

Well in our world white Caucasian males from Melbourne are seen as a bunch of racist dicks who attack Indian uni students. I guess we can use that as one of our chants. Because it is you know..so true for all white Caucasian Melbourne males.

I've heard that the NT is culturally diverse and I can appreciate that there is another element behind the Habibi insertion into the chant.

Fair enough. I can imagine for some it would just be banter. It really depends on who is saying it and what their intentions are. The fact that this young kid admitted it was a diss against Lebanese people really says a lot though.

[bombagol]

Is the NT boycotting their online fan forum as well?  Suddenly they're all starting to post here.

NT is just a bunch of little girls, they protested against their management and when their management didn't care about them at all, they all gave up and went back to it again

so after deciding that none of my points were valid because I'm just another dumb child, you decide that one of the things I said (I didn't say it was a diss to Lebanese, just a mention of them) was valid and it really reflected how the whole nt views things. Finkler7 was probably much more accurate in everything he said, including the origins of Habibi(as he was there at its creation). It isn't meant as a racist taunt, but rather just a 'silly ode to how your part of the country it portrayed on TV'. Banter is banter

[Davo]

I get the impression that some fans do a chant just to plant the flag and claim it as theirs. It's strange that they can then claim it forever if they say they did it twice back in 2008 or once in a final in 2007, especially when it's not completely original, just rewording something from overseas.

 

The other factor is how important or iconic it is to the club. If the fans do it every week or it's recognizable as theirs then it should probably be left alone.

 

Melbourne's tifosi chant was mentioned and I'd say that it's something they do regularly and when people hear it they immediately think it's a Melbourne chant. Fans who copy it (unless it's a diss chant in a game against Melbourne) are unoriginal and deserve to be laughed at.

 

On the other hand you've got these chants that Melbourne are claiming when nobody has any memory of them ever doing it. Either it was done so rarely that it's not really 'theirs' or they did it so poorly that they don't deserve it. In our chant suggestion thread an idea gets shot down if someone knows it's been done in the A-League. There may be a few newbies here but the majority followed the A-League well before WSW so for absolutely nobody to recognize it as a Melbourne chant says something.

 

If in a few years time a club picks up one of our old chants that we only did a couple of times and does it better than us then good on them. I don't get why people get all upset when we do exactly the same thing.

You even know what percentage of Lebs live in Sydney which shows a lot about your personal prejudices. It's partly what is fed to you by your AFL mouthpieces in the media. Yes, that makes you dumb if you swallow everything they tell you.

 

It's a lame and childish chant. End of story. We even did a homophobic diss against Sydney FC supporters in our first season. When I look back on that it was pretty stupid. Just leave the race and homophobia out of it. People can do better than that. That's just my opinion.

[Wanderer74]

Now i am lebanese, and I know a few words of Arabic. I am pretty sure that habibi means 'my love'. So do they love us when they are making fun of us?

Just to clarify for everyone, were you or were you not here during the last WSW v victory game in parra?

[marron]

Thanks finkler. Can you respond to Davos post and also explain why you guys sing your little irreverent ditty even when we're not playing you?

 

And Lewis let me get this straight... Bourke st was a retaliation for, um, nothing? Oh sorry, something that almost happened but didn't? I mean trying to attack someone post match in central parra is pretty dumb, there's cops everwhere. Might as well try in front of a police station.

[Hughesy]

Here you go Lewis, put this with all your awards mate. You've earnt it

[Prydzopolis]

I agree that you should answer Davo's response because that is probably as eloquent as anyone could have put it!

 

Also think Montie's post is spot on too!

@Mont

My eldest cousin married an Australian-Lebanese. Funniest bloke you'd ever meet, born and raised in Australia and if it wasn't for the fact that he looks slightly middle eastern you'd think he's 8th generation Australian. He has three beautiful kids and whenever it comes around to one of their birthdays and we've sung Happy Birthday, instead of shouting Hip-Hip [Hooray] etc. He always shouts Ha-bib: [Hooray], Ha-bib: [Hooray]. Never fails to put a smile on peoples faces.

 

@Lewis

That wasn't an invitation for you to adjust your argument you massive xenophobe. Also I want you to grow a Batman moustache, I've decided that if you're to **** post on this forum than your avatar needs a Batman moustache. Where's Mack? This needs to become a thing ...

I agree with what you are saying in regards to the Lebanese guy taking the piss out of himself. Even we do that here wit all the stereotypes we joke about. But this little parasitic Melbourne Victory supporter has in my opinion no liberty to go and start calling us whatever he likes and think we are just all going to agree and laugh along with him. If he comes here showing some respect and shows that he can get on with us, and understands and tries to learn who we are as a people then I will of course warm to him more. The fact that he shows us his awards and certificates to try to prove a point shows us that he has his head stuck right up his arse. Absolutley clueless.  

 

I personally would like to steer clear of the whole race thing anyway because there are too many misfit 12 year old these days who don't know how to tread the path finely when it comes to these types of issues. It just lends itself to the Sheedyesque / McGuire type remarks about how we aren't 'real Australians' here in WS. No doubt in Melbourne they swallow  this hook, line and sinker.

Sound post.

 

Like I said yesterday, I've been part of this since the start and we've Definitely sung that song since 2007 - almost always when the team are trailing.

 

I'm also sceptical as to how you're so certain it wasn't a part of our repertoire back then, when your team were still five years away from existence. Could it be really true that most WSW fans are former ESFC supporters and jumped ship for whatever reason? (I am interested in the background of a your support... but that's a different discussion for another day )

On Saturday night I heard the song, did a little cringe, then joined in.

 

Singing songs about rivals has been part of football culture for decades though. Man United sing about City every week and vice versa. Likewise Celtic and Rangers. Etc etc.

 

Was Saturday's rendition out of place? Yeah, probably. But the song is catchy and popular. 'RBB' sounds a lot like 'Habibi' through our TV sets... and considering the names given to the cast of those amusingly absurb, low-budget Aussie comedies on SBS (combined with some lines of lyrical creativity) the opportunity for taking the piss is put on a platter...

Thanks for the response finkler.

 

As for how people know, strange as it may seem, some of us watched the aleague as neutrals or interested observers.... Something our covite friends seem unable to comprehend...

 

I can actually understand how the chant might happen.... but still think its fairly poor form from anyone.

[wswanderersfc]

ohh come on guys we have been going on about this for days. 

what we have learnt is melbounre are dogs and should be treated as such (also racist haha) but we are giving these jokers way to much attention lets just move on and show them  who is the best active support group in the country next time we meet whether it be in the finales or next season.

[marron]

I think those videos of the said chants offered as proof answer the question already tbh...
