The "funeral" bell
« on: May 09, 2011, 12:36:04 PM »
Appologies if there is another thread on this......but

What on earth made someone - and who was that person - choose the tolling bell as the best from of music for the team to enter the pitch?

We've had some bad ones but surely this takes the biscuit?

I realise its very apt for the season we have just witnessed but it is hardly going to inspire our players and strike fear into the opposition. I don't know whether to laugh or hang my head in embarassment!

It's totally idiotic.

Most people around me just laugh about it.

Another gaffe in a gaffe riddled season.

There's a few threads on this. I have a feeling our new entrance tune will be quietly forgotten before the start of next season.

please please please please please play ACDC's Hells Bells for the Liverpool game.  I would like a large inflatable devil to also be lowered into the stadium, ideally landing on Dalglish.

I hate it.Personally I preferred that classical piece of music we used to play, much more intimidating

There was something sadly ironic about two poor teams walking out those clanging chimes on Saturday - the final death knell on a disasterous season.

Visiting fans must scratch their heads when they're not pissing themselves laughing.
