    Victory Song

    Yesterday I played in The Oxford Hotels Golf Day (they put a team in our JBs Golf Day each year as well) and for those of you who didn't know, The Oxford is a partner pub of the FORCE and the players have after match functions in their upstairs function room. Acordingly the FORCE fielded a team as well comprising Junior Pelesasa, Gareth Hardy, Jimmy Hilgendorf and Matt Hodgson.

    I did ask about the existance of a supposed team song. At first they told me it was "Run to paradise" and then informed that the song is not for public exposure, a bit like the aussie cricket team song!

    I had a chat with Matt and passed on a TWF card as he didn't know about us. Hopefully we will have a some of the players amougst TWF ranks soon.

    The guys had plenty of time to chat with the crowd as well and put on a good display even after a few. Well done fellas.

    Our team finished 4 under with a 58.375 nett. The losers had a nett 60 so we were towards the rear of the field, and the winners finished with 2 eagles and 11 birdies for a 40ish nett!

    yeah.. I do remember the comp run in the months up to the first game, always wondered about the resulting song which got picked? If it is a team only thing then fair enough... we wouldn't want anything like the dockers one!!

    Perhaps pessimistic, but it just popped in my head. quite some months back, someone posted that at an Irish match the crowd spontaneoulsy broke into soing with The Life of Brian's "Always look on the bright side of life"... here's my effeorts so far...

    Always look on the bright side of life,
    Always look on the light side of life,

    The ref's a little git,
    his judgement's up the shit
    It could make ya weep, the guys a creep for sure.
    We'll blame the loss on him
    and things wont look so grim;
    and next week we'll be back to settle the score...

    Always look on the bright side of life,
    Always look on the light side of life,

    As camp as it may be considered - I think we would have to have "Go West" in any song repatoire (sp?) ...

    I think, what we should do is get a popular song, that everyone knows(and like) and then work on the lyrics - just a suggestion

    Has anybody noticed that all the pommy songs (You know the soccer hoolligan stuff) are hyms. I think we're looking at music thats about 400 years too young. A rousing verse of 'Up from the grave he arose' might be appropriate!


    BTW I liked the Monty Python effort coach, maybe we need to make up a verse for when we don't get a dodgy ref, surely it'll happen one day!

    how about this one for a force chant (its a take off of a chelsea song)

    Where ever they go we`ll follow our team,
    For we are the Force and we are supreme,
    We'll never be mastered by no eastern bastards,
    And we'll keep the blue flag flying high,
    Flying high, up in the sky,
    We'll keep the blue flag flying high

    or how about this one

    Who's that team they call the Force
    Who's that team we all adore
    We're the boys in blue and we fight with all our might
    And we're out to show the world the way to score
    Bring on the highlanders or The sharks
    Bring on brumbies by the score
    chiefs, bulls, blues are a load of shit
    And we're out to show the world the way to hit
