is that a bunch of teletubbies?

just wondering what it has to do with Huntly

It has nothing to do with huntly. The boys have decided it's very easy for them to remember so I'm sure you will be hearing lots more of it and I hope the bot boys are proud their song has been covered and will travel in the highlandleague. After hearing the song first time around you have to laugh but on hearing it at EVERY roundabout on the way home I was surprised no murders took place on that bus.

But can any of the Bot lads tell us what it's all about please?

I would like to say a big thanks to Ross and Russell who joined us on our trip. We hope the guys enjoyed it and guildy's seat for wick is booked

The song origins are not exactly politically correct. In 1978 Talbot won their first trophy after a long barn spell. One of their fans is deaf and was singing "we'll support you evermore" and it sounded like eekapeekapukapo thus the song was born when the Talbot army joined in. The guy still supports Talbot and was in your social club last week, all the fans were singing it to him whilst giving it the were are not worthy gestures. He, and his sons, are very proud of the anthem.

Thanks for the explanation no 7. It would appear that it has very special significance to Talbot, so maybe not appropriate for us to adopt it now that we know the history.

Its a great story
I don't see an issue with us adopting it as a black and gold anthem
Besides I dont think you will stop the guys from singing it now

As a Huntly excile first time I've actually managed to see them play for a number of years. Disappointed to put it mildly with the first half show or should that be no show, but performance so much better in second half. would have been interesting if penalty had resulted in making it three each rather than four - three, but as others have said the far better team won on the day.
Not sure that folk in the Highlands appreciate the standard and passion of junior football in Ayrshire. If you thought the atmosphere was lively on saturday try going along to a Talbot v Glenafton or Cummock game

Well we have our own song

We're gold
We're black
We're jumping on yer back
We're Huntly we're Huntly

It was good enough for the glory days on the 90's so why change it for something that has nothing to do with Huntly

couldn't agree more!

We only have ONE song. How many teams do you know who have only one song? It's a bit of fun and I think the boys will sing it anyway regardless.

part of the banter at a game is creating/stealing/borrowing songs. It's simply harmless fun and the old songs will always be remembered/sang and never be forgotten.

Torite all the bot fans were very welcomnin and seemd to lyk the fact we got the song started!! The only way i could see a problem with singing the song is if the bot fans were offended in anyway by it!!! Anyway all i can say is that it was a brilliant day, not a gr8 result but oh well just have to win the league. Oh yeh and foof we were in their and tad befofe half time

A bit of creative writing I would say.

Speaking about creative writing anyone see the drival in the Daily Record on Monday - who's Mrs McGregor?, this was the reporter who seemed only interested in interviewing the Talbot manger/players after the game

how's this for creative writing then? - Alan Redford scores a close-range finish despite sitting on the subs bench!

Daily Ranger

well if we didn sing eeka peeka, we could have altenatively sang " how much is that doggy...." haha

spoke with Craig Swan from the Daily Ranger after the game on Saturday and he said he enjoyed his night out in Huntly and said the Crown Bar is his kind of pub!

Some things move on kathleen just like we would never have lost to a junior team, albeit a very good junior team, during the nineties.

There is no doubt that Huntly had a good team in the 90s, but hey Talbot weren't bad then either, as for the 80s, have a wee look at the record books? We Talbot fans use to debate long and hard in those days about getting a go at the big cup, we've waited a long time.
