Why no chant for Rodgers?

[ritchie]

Probably because these days it always has to be some wacky song rather than something simple. If he had a fancy foreign name it'd be easier to think something up.

 

Martinez would have had a fancy song by now.

[gkmacca]

Of course managers don't deserve a bloody chant after three games! Fucking hell! The team needs support, which will help Rodgers, but that's it.

[xerxes]

I think that it is a combination of things. Four managers in two years stretches familiarity with chants. "Brendan" is an awkward name, "Rodgers" doesnt sound right, no obvious chant has surfaced yet, "King Brenny" is gaining traction in the Centenary, but mainly for novelty value.

 

Time sorts these things out.

no, ben by MJ

 

Good stuff. Anfield needs a little MJ.

As Lifetime fan says, there were chants of 'There's only one BR' on the Kop at the City game (after the Dalglish chant) but they probably weren't loud enough to be heard at the other end of the ground.

 

 

You the original 5 times?

[Faustus]

Nearly everyone seems to behind him to some extent. I don't why he should have his name sung yet, though.

 

Singing a players name might make him run a bit more, r give him confidence to help him pla better, it won't really make a manager perform better IMO.

 

I remember being at a friendly against Wrexham back in 2004 before Rafa had taken charge of a competitive game and the 'Rafa, Raf-ael' chant was going around then. I don't recall anybody objecting to that, because everybody was joining in with it.

 

I'd be embarrassed if a bunch of moaning old gits were saying 'I don't see why that Spanish bloke should be havng his name sang'.

 

There's the 'there's only one Brendan Rodgers'- which I heard at West Brom and against City after the 'Dalglish' chants- but you can tell that song's only temporary. As much as people want to break it down from an intellectual perspective, I'd say most of it is down to the simple fact that his name doesn't scan very well when it comes to trying to fit it into a song.

here comes the summer

 

hey brendy brendy what can I say

you know you drive us crazy with the football you play

you play the tiki taka and we pass them to death

back passes to Reina are bad for our health

 

He's Brendan Rodgers, He's Brendan Rodgers

He's Brendan Rodgers, He's Brendan Rodgers

 

 

Teenage Kicks

 

Brendan Rodgers stood on the Kop

He said lets get the red nets back up

At the press conference he sounds so good

makes Roy Hodgson look like a piece of wood

 

Brendan's gonna fight, fight for his life

and bring back glory days and european nights

 

He got the owners on the telephone

they're 5 hours ahead, it's 5 past 1

"we need Joe Allen oh we need him bad"

They said ok and we're all glad

 

Brendan's gonna fight, fight for his life

and bring back glory days and european nights

Modern football is shite.

[LFC64]

I know what San Don means and for me it's just part of the wider issue that is the Anfield of 2012 and that is the atmosphere is shite.

The moment we went a goal down any semblance of it died a death.

Even in the eighties when matchgoers were conditioned to success the Kop in particular would respond instantly to going a goal down at Anfield.

 

Nowadays it's score and we might bother our arses.

[Six Times]

You the original 5 times?

 

No, that name was already taken so the original 5 Times must still be around.

Even if it was with;"You're gonna get your fucking heads kicked in"!

[Antynwa]

Wrexham away 2004

 

Rafa's name was chanted

[SCOUSE TAPAS]

[LFC64]

Even if it was with;"You're gonna get your fucking heads kicked in"!

 

Ha! Was thinking more along the lines of the ' There's only one way out and we know where it is!' ditty!

[ritchie]

Why are fans still chanting for Dalglish anyway? No other ex-player or manager gets their name sung during the game. Combined with a general lack of vocal support for Rodgers so far it's bad really.

[PaulMcC]

All you need is Rush.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Why are fans still chanting for Dalglish anyway?

 

Because he's a club legend, a huge part of the history of this club and a widely respected and successful man who gave everything to the club.

 

Probably.
