Having said that most kids around 10 & up have been exposed to swearing in schools, playgrounds I know I certainly was. Can't remember what was sung in the early days aswell as others but isn't it true alot more of our chants had swearing in them in seasons 1 & 2?Quote:

Squadron is flying too low
Dec. 8, 2008, 9:55 p.m.
SOME soccer-loving parents attending Newcastle Jets games have been known to take great pains to keep their children as far as possible from the seats occupied by the "Squadron", the famously rowdy Jets' supporters group.
For some time an impression has been forming that elements of the Squadron are incapable of controlling themselves.
This idea may stem from the 2007 incident in which Newcastle supporters pelted a visiting Sydney player with cups, bottles and cans. The Jets were lucky to escape sanctions as a result.
And despite an appeal for sense from Jets owner Con Constantine, the Squadron greeted former Newcastle player Mark Bridge with a torrent of booing and abuse when he visited earlier in the year with his new club, Sydney FC.
Bridge and Sydney expected the reception and shrugged it off as best they could, but the Squadron appears to be fixated with its dislike for Bridge and he was targeted again on Sunday night.
The swearing and offensive chanting directed at Bridge plumbed new depths of immaturity, leaving many to wonder if the Squadron has really lost the plot altogether. It's one thing to try to emulate British soccer fans and their thunderous chanting, but the Jets supporters appear to be operating at times with very little wit. The result is plain rubbish that can't do their team or their game any good.
Maybe it's no coincidence that the Jets are bottom of the heap in this year's competition. The quality of barracking in Newcastle on Sunday night must be perilously close to rock bottom in its own not-very-demanding league.
The loyalty and enthusiasm of the Squadron can't be questioned and it would be a shame if they became too tame in their support for the Newcastle side.
But Sunday night's effort was simply atrocious and it won't be surprising if more people decide not to spend hard-earned money taking their families to watch the Jets play because they don't want to be exposed to such low-grade offensive behaviour.
The Jets have condemned the behaviour and Squadron spokesmen have argued that the rubbish is coming from a minority in the group. If so, it's time the majority straightened them out or kicked them out.

THE conduct of Newcastle Jets supporters is again under scrutiny after a spectator was ejected from EnergyAustralia Stadium on Wednesday night for throwing a bottle onto the pitch during the Asian Champions League match against Nagoya Grampus.
The bottle appeared to have been aimed at Nagoya players after an on-field dispute with their Newcastle rivals late in the second half.
There were other reports yesterday that a coin was thrown and Japanese players were taunted with racist chants. (lol, the coin was actually thrown by a Turkish du on exchange at my high school for a month or two. Big TV pointed him out to the seccos straight away, and he was gone within a minute. I think he had to go back to Turkey after that)
Jets chief executive John Tsatsimas said spectators had helped security guards identify the person responsible for throwing the bottle, who was escorted from the ground.
Tsatsimas said the Jets had obtained the offender's name and it was "being dealt with by the police".
The offender also faces an indefinite ban from attending matches.
"There was one ejection, and that was dealt with as soon as possible," Tsatsimas said yesterday.
"The point I would like to make is that The Squadron handled it well.
"They were very supportive and the leaders helped keep control of the people in their areas, and they should be commended for that as well." Johnny T :wub: Best bloke
Tsatsimas said such behaviour was unacceptable.
"You don't shy away from that it was one incident too many," Tsatsimas said.
"But, having said that, it's been dealt with and probably serves notice that we're not going to be tolerant of anti-social behaviour."
A Football Federation Australia spokesman said he had been unaware of the bottle-throwing incident but would refer it to Asian Football Confederation officials.
Jets supporters have attracted unwanted publicity in the past few years for several incidents, although the club has so far avoided any official censure. (hang on a minute, I thought all of the Squadron's problems only cropped up in the last year or two??) :yap:
In November 2007, Football Federation Australia requested an investigation by the Jets after Newcastle supporters hurled plastic cups, plastic bottles and aluminium cans at Sydney FC midfielder Ufuk Talay as he attempted to take a corner kick. :yap:
Two months later, police reported incidents of antisocial behaviour after an F3 derby at Bluetongue Stadium, and Jets fans were criticised after for allegedly throwing a coin at Mariners player John Hutchinson. :rof: (this was surely our finest hour)
Last December, former Newcastle player Mark Bridge was booed every time he touched the ball and greeted by The Squadron with chants of, "F--- off Bridgey, I hope you die" and "Bridgey's a fat c---". :rof: :rof:
Meanwhile, it is understood Jets management have paid about one third of the unpaid superannuation and bonuses they owe to players, dating back to the start of the financial year.
They have been given another week to pay the balance believed to be around $60,000 or the Professional Footballers Association will take the matter to FFA for arbitration.
The issue was first made public five weeks ago when The Herald reported that Jets players were owed close to $100,000 in unpaid entitlements, a situation the PFA described as "unacceptable".
Won't someone think of the children.
don't remember this one :rof:Quote:
"F--- off Bridgey, I hope you die
To be fair, I've heard said the same stuff to current squad members recently.
We need more cowbell.
WTF :banghead: :wtf: :what:
Just seen in the Alf Port Adelaide all have NTUA scarfs and played it before the game.
Could you get anymore copycat, bunch of:wankers:
RBB invented it, so let it go mate.Quote:

Started it this year.
Their fans claimed they invented it on a prominent AFL bulletin board.
Pointed out Jets had been doing NTUA since forever.
Massive sook ensued, followed by pages of trolling.
I think this year, I follow the port Adelaide supporter group on Facebook (the alberton crowd) as I was interested to see how active support worked in other codes in australia and I am pretty sure it originated from that group. Their basically a group (some are Adelaide united fans) trying to bring an epl style of support into their games.Quote:

I'd say watching that video, they have a much higher proportion of crowd participation that we do with NTUA.Quote:

Looked sick tbh. You'd think they've been singing it for years. Whole ground.
Should be the aim of jets, to get everyone singing, akin to the national anthem.
Make a giveaway out of it, print out placards with some slogan and make people hold them up for a chance to win, "stand up and sing for your hpnujfc". And pan the crowd. Do it for a season, and people should be involved.
blah blah blah.
Port are awesome anyway. Koschie likes them or something, and he just loves football.
**** lets give em NTUA.
Never made sense to me anyway considering watching a Jets game is like being torn apart by a 5 inch wide wooden dildo.
INXS owns the song.Quote:

Give that a run ay.
Yeah but that song isn't really fittingQuote:

What's everyone's thoughts of mixing up some of our songs/chants and making them better?
Song that came to mind was 'We are Newcastle sha la la la la.
Instead my version would
We are Newcastle, the famous red & blue
We're always with you and we're loyal to you
And we wil we nevvver walk away from you
Probably another quick verse then bring in the sha la la bit? Repeat.
if it aint broke...

So hot in that first half thankfully the sun dipped and energy levels definitely picked up in the second half.
Abit more flag waving wouldn't have hurt for visual presence but still not too bad.
Bring on Melbourne next week.
Kudos on the "hutcho's a wanker" chant. Clearly audible on the coverage.
That's Newcastle for you. I did feel abit cringeworthy chanting that. Never again I hope.Quote:

Oh, and a big facepalm to anyone who looked at me confused when I tried to start a "he's just a fat Akinfenwa" chant.
That would have killed in the UK.
