Football and Music

I wanted to post this when they finally got the drop, but Derby beat me to it by being the first Prem team to get relegated in March.

Now they have six 5 games left to get five point in order to avoid taking Mick McCarthy’s Sunderland record of scoring the lowest amount of points in one season.

But let us not be downhearted. One total catastrophic season like this is only the beginning.

They’ve been bought out and are officially now a Mickey Mouse club.

But their plans for a pre-season tour of the USA had to be cancelled. They are going to Holland instead.

One very good thing though is they are taking Robbie Savage with them. So always look on the bright side eh ?

The related music today comes from Rockin’ Johnny Austin who sings on this old and rare recording which mentions Kevin Hector and young Roy McFarland. Guessing by the name checks the song is from the late 60’s when these two were playing for them.

Since there isn’t anything of interest on today I looked at the stats for the site and at the searches to see what you were looking for.

It is obvious that the more interesting game taking place tomorrow is the Scotland do or die match and the search terms bear that out with everybody looking for Scotland songs but more specifically one song which in my opinion is a footie/music and comedy classic. Sorry there Rod it’s not about you. Or about the Krankies, which is more horror than comedy and puts a bit of a sour note on the history. I am talking about…

B.A Robertson, John Gordon Sinclair (and extra information I just found) Jim Watt (world champion boxer), Alan Wells (Olympics 100 meter champion and Georgina Kearney (Miss Scotland), as well as the 1982 Scotland World Cup Squad all sing together on:

- The next item most searched and listened to has a touch of the Krankies to it as well and I can only assume you are listening because you like to inflict pain onto yourselves:

Jess Conrad why do you hate us so ? What did the P.E teacher do to you at school ? Why do you want to take your revenge out on every football supporter because of some dark memory in your past ? Why do we have to live your nightmare ?

And finally in other footie news - an item about Derby County who at the moment are going for Mick McCarthy/Sunderland’s EPL record as the worst. team. ever.

An American company is looking into Derby with a view to investment and takeover. (Why pick a club who are probably guaranteed relegation is beyond me but anyway…) The name of this company is Shamrock Holdings, who are owned and run by billionaire Roy Disney, nephew of Walt.

Yes, Derby County really will be a Mickey Mouse team.
