Bbk Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well let's be honest us Killie fans like a good moan and as we can't really moan about our team too much this year let's moan about our paper roses were many of those complaining actually at the cup final against Falkirk and Hampden against Celtic?? Brilliant atmospheres and all of us singing our hearts out!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank feck it’s been binned from the end of games when we’ve won as all it does is dampen the spirits as everyone leaves the stadium. caldows spot on its a boring dirge My favourite song,don’t be so crabbit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Mental that folk are suggesting binning "Paper Roses". Why stop there? We could change our name to East Ayrshire FC. Maybe change the stripes up, go for a nice red and black combination? While we're at it, we'll change the stadium name to the Super Squirrel Thunderdome... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiekid Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 It might be a dirge but tell me your heart doesnt burst when it’s played at the stadium. It’s oor song 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think the more up-tempo and punky Last Year's Men version from 1997 is a winner when played over the PA. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Roses will always be our song. The scenes in 2012 when we won the cup and sang it would bring tears to the eye... I was a wee bit too young to remember 1997 that well, but I'm sure again it was sung then. It's our song and is no more "depressing" than Sunshine on Leith for Hibs or any more warped than Love is in the Air for United. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine in Leith is a much, much more rousing anthem than Paper Roses and I like PR on big occasions.

killie billies pal Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think PR is ok for old cnuts like myself, but even I was groaning at its third rendition yesterday, our young team have done very well to regroup and create new Killie tunes, they are the way ahead, so keep PR for Hampden next May -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKtid Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 It’s our song and I wouldn’t change it. 2012 cup final, Motherwell game after it and Falkirk games were just goosebumps, tear in your eye kind of stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclean07 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Sunshine on Leith is the best football anthem in the business. If there was no Killie, I would maybe support Hibs just for that reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it with the songs the spoon burners have got?! Could never support that lot though - never! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
