One day football fans will be like rugby fans! Shoulder to shoulder with the adversary respecting each others national anthem! Yes one day!!! But I won't be on this earth to remember it!
One day (I don't think I'll live long enough to see it) football fans can sit side to side with their rivals just like in rugby matches! It happened once with Liverpudlians and Evertonians, but that's all! If only God would let me live long enough to witness it!
this is the kinda respect we should give ourselves,as English people....i hope we can make more grounds feel the same,what ever song,make it ENGLISH!!!
Either you're English or you're not. This video just shows that there is forever pride when another english sport team does something incredible, even if it comes from an unexpected source!
@Shropshireladdie Ellis is credited with the invention of rugby but all sport historians doubt very strongly that he did. The origins of cricket come from as early as the 16th century when this great country was in its dark ages. Football was played by the ancient chinese army as documeted in their manual. Hockey was first played by the Ancient Egyptians 4000 years ago and has no link to any Englishmen.
The game the chinese played wasnt football but a game of discipline that apart from a ball and your feet had no relation to football, Ellis definetly invented modern rugby whether there was a pre-game i dont know.
after loseing 3-0 to arsenal, idont hear many of you fucks singing.good luck finishing league about 10th,but maybe that to optimistic for you.being an un-educated fuck im not gonna bother explaining optimism to you
i don't get how cockney scum call birmingham northern??? were the centre of the country not the northern area...hence the term "MIDLANDS" and wats wrong with speaking slang u twat??? you obviously text someone with full words instead of shortening it to make it easier u fuking posh bastard lol
the country so tough they refused to fight in the second world war, the very few french forces that did fight were morrocans who were forced too. so that twat cant preach to nee fucker.
tell your missus to shave her pits frenchy, sieg heil! oh sorry i forget, you all used to kiss hitlers arse and say that until we invaded and rescued you!
it first started with couple of guys on the terrace at twickenham yers and yers ago and evolved from there a lot of people dont like us singing it though cus slave song and feel its very disrespecful but i say fuk em lol
It was 1988, after Chris Oti scored his hat-trick of tries against Ireland - he was the first black player to play for England for 80years, and a church group started singing 'Swing Low...', the terrace joined in, and it carried on.
I remember during the 2007 world cup with France and England, the french fans were singing their national anthem but all the english fans began singing this so much louder. it was so beautiful
6gunwalker WTF are you on about??? There's a big difference between getting up and singing your hearts out and getting and starting to fight the opposistion.
Just because our country were the ones who invented football firms does not mean we are the worse.
So go and look at your own country before you start putting down mine,IDIOT!
yeh it werent good by pires but to hold a grudge for one meaningless act, bloody hell bit over the top. id understand if it were a cup final, or cost u relegation, but it didnt, whats the big deal. he don't even play for us no more.
lol - I was exajerating a tad . I couldn't really think of another reason. But that is the thing that comes up still when we talk about Arsenal lol
"nothing's ever forgotten Blue, it's just human bloody nature" (Quote from film Galipoli)
Anyway, was exagerting.
But things like taht would still get to you if you were a small club like us. You remember big clubs cheating you and it would piss you off and you would hold a bit of a grudge.
lol - another Yank that has only seen films like Green Street and Football factory and comments on English "Hooligans". Different cultures mate - you like to wave ya flags and shout "deeefence" - we like a few pints, sing song and a ruck for finishers. it aint just us either mate, it's we happen to ahve more numbers at away games - most proper footballing countries have "hooligans" - it's part of the game
when I say away games - I meant at International Tournaments - it's the Englsih that turn up in greatest numbers - Euros//World Cups etc (except the last one shamefully) - and notice there was still problems - Croats/Czech/Turks etc - so it aint just us
it was just after the rugby WC credit to both sides (i was in the arsenal away end) showing a great united front and proving england fans can band together,,,
love it that is the most amazing thing that I see every world champ , the fans helping they're team you should be proud I am and I'm not even from England , Im from Romania , teh same continent , the best continent ever with the best country's
They are supporting the England Rugby team, at a football match :P it is still good though, England Rugby fans are very passionate, even when they are watching a different sport lol. Also, Europe is the best continent in the world, i agree. However if Romania is not in the European Union, if you ever get a chance to join, i strongly suggest you vote NO! EU is a tyrant.
My afore mentioned opinion on this issue has now changed, I think its a beautiful thing that, this song is used as a force for good by the english fans
hair standing,spine chilling blubbing like a baby (with english pride)fucking good thats how good and srry to say i am not a fan of footie or rugger,but i remember seing the english team coming back from the final when they got on the coach at the airport and seeing all the fans welcoming them back with this song ... did the same to me then as it does now.....
atm083: You should take a look at the policies of the Howard goverment before criticising other nations on their human rights. And in any case, if you knew anything about this country I think you'll find that we are apologetic for the slave trade. I agree it, it is a blemish on this country's history but it happened before any of us were born. Recently, the mayor of Bristol apologised on behlaf oif the cityn of Bristol for it's involvement. Thanks for the dumb comment anyway.
atm083, grow up, it is the 21st century, the origins of the song is relevant! Where are you from? If you know your history England was the first nation to outlaw slavery in their law! We went around africa blocking african slave trade! yes blacks enslaving blacks! and YES we blocked the USA ships aswell! GET FACTS right, ENGLAND DOES NOT NEED TO SAY SORRY< the USA and AFRICA should thank us for starting the end of slavery! as for crowd, all ENGLISH people were proud or rugby world cup victory!
This song was adopted by England rugby fans on March 19, 1988, during a Five Nations match between England and Ireland.
At halftime England were 0-3 down. After the third of a second-half hat-trick of great tries by Chris Oti, the supporters sang spontaneously in celebration. England stormed home to win the game 35-3, and the song became the team's anthem.
Same happened at the West Bromwich Albion match. I distinctly remember one of the players kicking it way over the bar and a chorus of 'Oh Jonny Jonny! Jonny Jonny Jonny Jonny Wilkinson!' being sung for ten minutes. Great day :)
What a day that was. We lost yes but i was happy for my country mainly. I was in a near by pub and Blues and Arsenal fans were drunk and making asses of themselves. Good times indeed
very interesting. that song was created by Blacks over here, and it's amazing that a Rugby team would use it. till a few hours ago, i wasn't familiar with any Whites using that song. it's in my church hymnal, yet i haven't heard it sung there. when i read about Rugby last week, i read about that song, and i had to see whether this was true. i wish i could see Rugby over here, yet i would likely need a satellite. for some reason, my family left England and Scotland during the 1600s and 1700s.
All the songs sung in the home nations (England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland) rugby sides sing gospel connected songs. Take Cwm Rhondda from wales for example look up 6 nations rugby anthems
excellent video post, lucky to get the start captured. Not planned, started in tilton end, and just spread. If I recall Blues player stan laz. was playing and got a little stick from english blues players prior to game.
What was the reason Brummies and Gooners sang it, was it not of the back of news filtering through that England beat France at Twickenham in the 6 nations. I remember being called from at mate at this match asking England's rugby score because the stadium suddenly started singing Sweet Chariot. Someone fill me in on this please
No, this football match started just hours after England won the World Cup in Australia. It was amazing, lots of fans weared rugby shirts, roses etc. coming to St. Andrews. Great atmosphere, full of pride.
fuck sake man swing low sweet chariot was actually started by a native american fella hu was enslaved, n listen to lyric n ul hear hes tlkin about the river jordan in america. for gods sake its a nanthem every england rugby player should be allowed to sing without being bollcked by wankers. n by the way bandolerojamrock, im not a toff and love rugby.....hw do ya like thoses apples?
Swing Low is a slave spiritual song from when this dispicable practise was still rife. Toff fucking rugby fans who wouldnt be so financially comfortable without their forbears involvement in slavery singing it to support England makes me sick. How do you like them apples?
Always gives me goosebumps.

I agree it, it is a blemish on this country's history but it happened before any of us were born. Recently, the mayor of Bristol apologised on behlaf oif the cityn of Bristol for it's involvement. Thanks for the dumb comment anyway.

atm083, grow up, it is the 21st century, the origins of the song is relevant! Where are you from? If you know your history England was the first nation to outlaw slavery in their law! We went around africa blocking african slave trade! yes blacks enslaving blacks! and YES we blocked the USA ships aswell! GET FACTS right, ENGLAND DOES NOT NEED TO SAY SORRY< the USA and AFRICA should thank us for starting the end of slavery! as for crowd, all ENGLISH people were proud or rugby world cup victory!

This song was adopted by England rugby fans on March 19, 1988, during a Five Nations match between England and Ireland.
At halftime England were 0-3 down. After the third of a second-half hat-trick of great tries by Chris Oti, the supporters sang spontaneously in celebration. England stormed home to win the game 35-3, and the song became the team's anthem.

Same happened at the West Bromwich Albion match. I distinctly remember one of the players kicking it way over the bar and a chorus of 'Oh Jonny Jonny! Jonny Jonny Jonny Jonny Wilkinson!' being sung for ten minutes. Great day :)

very interesting. that song was created by Blacks over here, and it's amazing that a Rugby team would use it. till a few hours ago, i wasn't familiar with any Whites using that song. it's in my church hymnal, yet i haven't heard it sung there. when i read about Rugby last week, i read about that song, and i had to see whether this was true. i wish i could see Rugby over here, yet i would likely need a satellite. for some reason, my family left England and Scotland during the 1600s and 1700s.

All the songs sung in the home nations (England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland) rugby sides sing gospel connected songs. Take Cwm Rhondda from wales for example look up 6 nations rugby anthems

excellent video post, lucky to get the start captured. Not planned, started in tilton end, and just spread. If I recall Blues player stan laz. was playing and got a little stick from english blues players prior to game.

What was the reason Brummies and Gooners sang it, was it not of the back of news filtering through that England beat France at Twickenham in the 6 nations. I remember being called from at mate at this match asking England's rugby score because the stadium suddenly started singing Sweet Chariot. Someone fill me in on this please

Its not beauiful.
After england won the world cup in 03 they named it swing low sweet chariot tour.
This song represents one of engands finest national sports, rugby.
I find it discraceful how some footballers compare it.
My oppinion for what its worth?

Your opinion isn't worth shit.
Swing Low is a slave spiritual song from when this dispicable practise was still rife. Toff fucking rugby fans who wouldnt be so financially comfortable without their forbears involvement in slavery singing it to support England makes me sick. How do you like them apples?
