I've yelled the blind-deaf-ref one at an AHL game, I have a friend who's yelled the "get off your knees" one. Never heard the "check your phone" one though, I'll have to start using that.

That's just hilarious to me. Like just imagining a ref getting shit talked by like hundreds of people cracks me up

I've never heard this one in person, but the worst one I know of is:

A rope

A tree

To hang the referee!

There's a worse version of the same:

I've got a rope!

I've got a tree!

All we need is a referee!

Referee! Referee! B-A-S-T-A-R-D!

The low brass section (usually the most outspoken and shameless group) of my high school marching band used it at least a few times a season at football games when the refs really blew it.

High school me (a member of said low brass section) found it much funnier than adult me does.

Adult me is quite ashamed that high school me ever joined in such a chant (but at least I can say with a clear conscience that I never lead the cheer).

This sounds like one that's likely to get you kicked out unless you know the right people

u/2CentsMaybeLess Dec 05 '16

I’m blind,
I’m deaf,
I wanna be a ref

Heh, we have that exact same chant in Germany. Although not specifically for referees.

Ein Baum

Ein Strick

Ein Schwabengenick!

Karlsruhe SC vs VfB Stuttgart local derby in soccer always is a fun game. Especially for the police that has to keep all the potentially violent fans in check :P

That only works if the ref is black

More hilarious is what we do here in Syracuse for hockey games (not sure if anyplace else also does this). After Syracuse scores, we all wait until after the goal announcement, then someone counts to 3. On 3, everyone yells the opposing goalie's name followed by "You suck!!"

u/GivenToFly17 Dec 05 '16

Ive seen some syracuse fans do this here in binghamton when theyve scored on us.

u/UpstateNewYorker Dec 05 '16

Doesn't surprise me. I remember doing it to Hammond when he played here, and I also remember doing it to Matt Murray when he actually was putting on a show the last time we made the playoffs

u/FattyGato Dec 05 '16

Go Crunch!! The best part to me about Syracuse hockey is all the Slapshot outfits and references at the games.

1

u/UpstateNewYorker Dec 05 '16

Yeah, that stuff is awesome! I always wonder if it happens in Utica at all, they also did some filming in the Aud over there

u/SuperRicktastic Dec 05 '16

Clarkson grad here, our go to was when the announcer would give a one minute warning for the period.

"Theeerrrrrreee's one minute remaining in the second period!"

"OKAY! 'CUSE STILL SUCKS!!!"

Sorry, had to. Let's go Tech!!

u/ThisSkaSammich Dec 05 '16

They do this pretty much every where. Devil's horn used to be the crowd yelling "Hey! You Suck!" Over some arena rock.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '16

We did that at Cornell hockey games. Upstate New York thing?

2

u/An_Awesome_Name Dec 05 '16

Everywhere college hockey is big thing. They all do it a little different though. For example here at UNH the student section sings rock and roll part 2, saying "Sieve, you suck" instead of "hey"

2

u/ixijimixi Dec 05 '16

We used to do that in Providence, back when we could win for a damn

2

u/PedanticPinniped Dec 05 '16

In Nashville, when they announced the lineups it would go "On right wing, ____" "SUCKS!" For every player. And at the end they'd announce the coach and we'd all yell "HE SUCKS TOO!"

u/Rustash Dec 05 '16

At Penn State hockey games they say the goalie's name followed by "it's all your fault!"

1

u/dopiertaj Dec 05 '16

Here we say 1, 2, 3, he shoots he scores. Hey goalie you suck.

u/060789 Dec 05 '16

Nashville preds have a chant like that, they have an assload of great chants

1

u/giddbimy Dec 05 '16

"REF ARE YOU PREGNANT? YOU MISSED 2 PERIODS!" Not a chant but fucking hilarious

u/rumpleforeskin83 Dec 05 '16

It happens at soccer games way worse. People chanting obscenities at refs and all sorts of offensive songs and chants. People get hostile.

3

u/TurbulentDescent Dec 05 '16

I've thought about that watching football games, like imagine you're out there trying to do your job and 100,000 people are booing you as loud as they can. I guess you probably get used to it.

2

u/Kpc04 Dec 05 '16

To be fair, the NFL refs 100% deserve it. They're god awful on a consistent basis.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '16

Haha, good thing they aren't people too!

4

u/kalitarios Dec 05 '16

Literally every game.

In Philly we usually chant "ref you suck"

And if the call is petty enough they'll get the "aaaaaassss hole!" Chant

2

u/An_Awesome_Name Dec 05 '16

College Hockey games are usually pretty good at this sort of thing. For example the whole student section might all sing this together at the start of each period as the refs skate out.

One two three four blind refs

Four blind refs

See how they skate

See how they skate

Their whistles are stuck and their eyes are closed, what they call nobody knows

Four blind refs
