Pathetic and embarrassing chanting

Agree with the op.

But also our songbook in general has gone down the pan recently. Used to have loads of class ones, now it seems we’ll just take anything that’s gone viral these days and half heartedly change the words to fit Sunderland (the sex offender one was the Mags singing at Ronaldo. Equally the Wyke one when he was here ‘Si Senor’, was nicked from Liverpool fans singing about a Spanish player…)

I imagine this happens at a lot of clubs with songs being filmed and instantly online nowadays

First match I've been able to get to since March 2019. Absolutely loved it. I can't remember the last time I saw us win in person, and win so convincingly.

However, a contingent of our traveling fans were nothing short of embarrassing with their choice of chants.
The occasional "Fuck the IRA" chant was utterly ridiculous considering
1) James McClean wasn't even playing he wasn't even on the bench
2) 1996 was the last action of the IRA in this country. most of the idiots chanting this probably weren't even born then, and if they were they should know better.
3) Get the fuck over it. He hasn't played for us for years

The even more ludicrous chant was
"Sunderland boys were on a bender. Charlie Wyke is a sex offender".
Let's break that down shall we?
Sunderland boys on a bender sounds more like a homoerotic gangbang rather than a night on the booze, but of course not many things conveniently rhyme with sex offender and I doubt the inventor of the chant could manage to rhyme nonce.
Charlie Wyke is a sex offender - Wow. I mean, really? The bloke scored an absolute hat-full last season (shame he only managed 9 in the previous 2 seasons). An opportunity came up for him to sign a 3 year deal and he took it.
He followed the money. Like many of us would. You get next to nowt for loyalty these days. We need to stop being so f***ing precious about things.
Wyke didn't even play last night so what was the point?

We had an actual sex offender playing for Sunderland. A real one. A paedophile. Why do some of our lot think it's fine to throw that kind of slur around at anyone else? Particularly players who didn't leave on bad terms, they just left.

A great game with some excellent football from us, tainted by some of our lot who are frankly making themselves look as thick as a submarine door. I'd like to think that's not the case. We're better than this. Aren't we?
I won't even bother mentioning the morons who boo'd the taking the knee (for all of 3 seconds of it). I suspect if there's a venn diagram of the people who did that and the idiotic chants it would be a perfect circle.

Wth was the Charlie Wyke chant about ffs? Absolute abomination of a chant that I assume some thought was funny but it other than that it was a class game and a class night.
 
You mean.....you mean.....you don't actually mean football fans sing drivel at football matches?

I am shocked to the core.

Is there a recognised process for writing new football songs and chants ?

Normally just takes a small group to come up with them, and more importantly get them going.
I think Man Utd had a group that composed and then distributed leaflets with the words at games.

Witty chants don't just appear like in the movies ;)

No surprise.

The Wyke craic is bad. I have no idea why we are so obsessed with abusing ex players. It’s pathetic.

IRA is standard shite. Kids who weren’t even born before the Good Friday agreement singing about shite they have no knowledge of. It’s like the ten german bombers crack when England play.

And of course the booing of the knee. It’s been covered over and over again on here but until the booing stops it’ll be a stain on the club.

Whilst I see your point are we only allowed to sing about things that happened after we were born?
