Managerial hair. To have or not to have & rhymes.

[Lennie Macfartney]

Ok chaps, have been to great lengths to resolve the debate opened up on an earlier thread re the lack of words in the English language rhyming with our new manager's name.

 

Called in on my acquaintance Mystic Meg, who established a line of communication between your humble rhymster & the great Shaking William. Billy assures me that there is a noble tradition within English verse of using half rhymes in such difficult circumstances; indeed he did so on many occasions himself, both within the verse of his plays & in his sonnets.

 

He suggests, with the full weight of his authority, using any word which ends either with the final sound "sh" or the final vowel sound "ai" thus forming a half rhyme, because the combination of both sounds for the full rhyme is virtually impossible. As long as the rhythm falls correctly in the (half) rhyming lines, there should be no problem, according to Billy Boy.

 

Following this directive, all the following are perfectly acceptable words to rhyme with Daish:

face, mace, pace, lace, trace, place ...

or splash, mash, hash, trash, bash ... (& single syllable words ending in "ish," "esh, "osh" or "ush.")

 

So if Liam were still out there on the pitch, we'd be perfectly within the protocols of correct verse, to sing:

 

"Lim Daish, Liam Daish,

Liam, Liam Daish!

He'll leave his trace

When he's in your face.

Liam, Liam Daish!"

PS My favourite ever non- rhyming chant at the Fleet has to be, "Ooh, Uh, Ullathorne ..." 1st heard at Erith & Belvedere when we hammered them 4-1, Ports getting a hat trick, I believe & Lee Graves the other.

'Crayfish', if you say it quickly (and not very loudly), might by some fevered stretch of the imagination, rhyme with 'Daish'.

 

But I'll leave it to someone else to make a song about it.

[Lennie Macfartney]

Bloody hell! That was quick. Only just finished correcting a spelling error & you'd replied.

 

Must be a boring day at work - either that or, like me, you have a deadline to meet & you just can't get around to getting started.

Bit of both, deadline tomorrow, but I have a half-lifetime's experience in meeting it with little or no effort. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

What about just

 

"Liam Daish, Daish, Daish,

Liam, Daish, Daish, Daish"?

[Wobbly Wayne rides again]

Liam Daish, Liam Daish, he's the manager of the Fleet,

Liam Daish, Liam Daish, he'll make us hard to beat,

Hes the manager of the Fleet,and we'll be [censored] hard to beat

Liam Daish , Liam Daish, Liam Daish.

 

 

Guess the tune ?

[Wobbly Wayne rides again]

Perhaps Liam could play along with any songs that we do come up with :

 

TRUMPET GETS PLAYER BANNED!

Birmingham City were playing Chester in a league match and were 3-0 up. With a few minutes to go their captain, Liam Daish headed home a fourth.

In the following celebrations some Birmingham fans threw a toy trumpet onto the pitch. Daish picked up this trumpet and, to the amusement of the Birmingham fans, started playing it.

The ref was not as amused and booked him for it which led to a three match ban!!!

 

 

 

Anyone got a trumpet for Saturdays game ?

But wasn't that to the tune of Robin Hood not William Tell?

[Red Neck]

Quite right Dave. Richard Green (Robin Hood and his Band of Merry Men), happy, happy days.

No Dave
Robin Hood was a legend. I actually saw Dennis Moore albeit on tele.

Did you hear about the bride who wanted to walk down the aisle to "Everything I do" by Bryan Adams and asked the vicar for the theme tune to Robin Hood.

Unfortunately the vicar being considerably older than her remembered a different version of Robin Hood and she galloped down the aisle to the Richard Green version.

Yes very well spotted , a night with maid Marion for the winners and a night with my uncle Marion for the losers.

 

 

All sing along on Saturday please

[Unrecognized Genius]

Dennis Moore? Wasn't he statistically our most successful ever manager until Fordy?

 

Came initially as player/assistant to Eddie Presland. Captained the Daggers when they won the Trophy & still found time to be lauded in song by Monty Python.
