Goal music just isn’t football!

December 21, 2008

I have to admit that when my team introduced goal music I was less than impressed. In fact I would go so far as to say that I was embarrassed by it. This may of course be due to the fact that my team very rarely scores but for me there is something wrong with having noise blaring out after every goal.

Of course it can depend on what sort of music it is played, but the amount of times I have travelled to away venues to have my disappointment compounded by Blur’s “Song Two” is just too many!

It is either this or the Fratellis – well today I propose that goal music is banned! It just seems so repetitive that it loses any symbolic meaning which it could have. Also for me it seems that this is another step in the Americanisation of our national game and this is something which needs to be avoided.

Sure I get excited when my team scores and am angry when we concede, but I do not need the same old tracks over and over again to tell me which emotion to feel. It all seems a bit too corny for my liking – maybe I am growing old and am not in touch with the youth of today, but some things don’t need to be changed and in my opinion this is one of them.

Do you agree with me? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Take a quick look:

We sell Breedlove guitars at great prices.
