Are the Barmy Army autistic?

[Aussies5-Poms 0]

Why do they insist on ruining the enjoyment of a test match with endless, repetitive chanting of 'Barmy Army'?

It was a novelty a few years ago. Now it is just annoying. Volume off on Sky now to remove this blight.

I can understand singing the odd song, but this is mindless.

Twunts.

[Percy Flage]

They do it to upset you lot.

It seems to work.

[Aussies5-Poms 0]

Just lowerinig the tone to that of a football match.

Within a few years I expect the 'fans' will be calling the players s, faggots, wkers as per every premiership football match I've ever been to. And that has been home fans to the home team!

Re your name - you're doing yourself an injustice, the Aussies got 6 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics.

[sevros1981]

It is kind of annoying - certainly quite tame compared to the usual antics in the western terrace at headingley.

More annoying than the barmy army by far, was the stupid fking noise makers that people were using at the Confederations Cup football. If they are handing out those at World Cup 2010, I will be watching with no sound on.

Yeah, because cricket is the last bastion of taste and propriety.

[Gargamel]

Whereas of course , fans in Bay13 are the very model of good behaviour....

Meat pie for mr tufnell

[hornetrider]

Wow. First the Cardiff rant and now the beloved Barmy Army. You'll be dissing Pimm's next.

[Aussies5-Poms 0]

Pimms is class.

I was a regular on the western terrace before the Barmy Army came into being. It was lively, but not monotonous repetition.

It still surprised me that the England 'fans' would slag off Lancashire players though!!

And then there was the obligatory 'stand up if you hate Man U'.

But none of it was repetative and grating.

'Barmy Army' is.

Being a season ticket holder and a Sky subscriber, I contribute to them being on the pitch. Therefore, I will say whatever I like to the players.

Doea that mean you can say what you like to public servants? Because we pay taxes?

Great logic there fella!

So, a footballer celebrating a goal gives fans carte blanche to abuse all teh players ( and the referees) (and the opposing fans) (and their own fans).

Nah, don't think so.


Still, I digress.

This is what I object to:

or "where were you when you were s**t?" or a whole host of other chants adopted from football.... go on, get amongst it and become part of the atmosphere... chanting and singing at cricket does look and sound odd though, especially when they break for tea in the afternoon!?...

it does seem that the "county cricket" crowd are a different lot in comparison to the supporters who follow the national team.

The Barmy Army has kind of lost its way from its beginnings. It actually started out a a Lancashire thing...We're All Michael Atherton's Barmy Army and quickly moved onto follow the English team as Athers removed the F from FEC.

It was prominant during Ather's England career because frequently Athers was the only one in the England side who could be bothered batting during an innings, a time of England losing more tests than it could either win or draw combined.
