iain Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 I hate drums at the football and I don't want them anywhere near Firhill. At best they are just annoying like the Motherwell drummer who had little rhythm. At worst they help the opposition supporters create more noise and have more influence as with Rangers and Celtic. Would anyone else like to see them banned from Firhill? Could we have a poll? Would it be worth contacting clip? Ban the drum!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 To be fair I dont think drums have been a problem at Firhill this season. Although anything that adds to atmosphere i really dont mind. We used to have a wee bam youth section in North Stand and i personally enjoyed their input. My 2c.

Yellow & Redneck Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 If I'm being honest, I support anything that improves the atmosphere. Sure beats the smacking sound of gristly steak-pies being chewed in the JHS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljaggo Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Never mind the drums. What instrument would you especially like to be banned from Firhill? Trombones pose an obvious threat to those seated in front of them, and even baby grand pianos are bad for causing queues to build up at the turnstiles. Violas are notorious for attracting bad jokes that would detract from the quantity of abuse hurled at the oppo. e.g. Q. What does to the viola section of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra have in common with the Beatles? A. Neither have played together since 1969. However the instrument I would most like to be banned from Firhill is any instrument being played at the time by either Ally Bain or Phil Cunningham. It is almost imposible to turn on any TV programme in Scotland without them appearing and playng the same tune as you heard the last time they were on. What is almost worse than the tunes is that they are wearing a slightly knowing half smile that says "I've won again" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I am going to be totally inconsistent by admitting that I quite like Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Going on what we've had to suffer in recent years I'm all in favour of banning drums from Firhill. If however Hamilton Accies turned up with a rattler who had the ability of an Elvin Jones, or for that matter Ross County could muster up a Steve Gadd or Billy Cobham soundalike then I would be open to seeing that policy reviewed. As an aside. and there's bound to competition, but in terms solely of popular music can anyone come up with a better drumming performance than Steve Gadd's on Paul Simon's Late in the Evening? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't heard that song for years, so just Youtubed it. It is indeed quite excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 OK. Most people seem to like drums or are not bothered. I therefore withdraw my complaint. Accept my apologies as a grumpy old man. . . . . F'n drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a few old men out there who entirely agree with you but don't want to show their grumpy side. Particularly at this time of good will. Just saying.
