A SETTERDAY AIFTERNEEN AT KEITH FC

It’s Setterday – it’s 2.15

The fans troop intae Kynoch Park

Hopin’ tae see a victory

So they kin leave - happy as a lark

The Stadium sits in Balloch Road

They ca’ it the “Field o’ Dreams”

The P.A. System crackles

Time tae announce the teams

The Maroons come trottin’ oot

Seen be the start of the game

The ref he blaws his fussle

Iviry wik it is the same

The Captain he won the toss

We’re kickin towards the Balloch Hill

The opposition they keep on tacklin’

O’ them we’ve hid oor fill

We’re playin’ weel – lookin’ good

A feelin’ that we micht score

Sure enuff – the ba’ hits the net

The Howlin’ Shed gies a michty roar

The P.A System springs tae life again

Oot blasts “Chelsea Dagger”

The name o’ the scorer is then roared oot

We’re aheed – so we kin swagger

We’re pilin’ it on – an’ weel on tap

Nae surprise fin we score again

The veesitors are strugglin’ tae cope

Oor strikers are drivin’ them insane

The Maroons are gweed tae watch

‘Specially fin they’re playin’ weel

Pingin’ the ba’ a’ aboot

Boy, they’re fairly the real deal

We’ve got them on toast an’ nabbed anither

Cripes, we’re fairly coastin’

They canna keep up wi’ us

It’s a fact – we’re nae jist boastin’

Bit noo it’s half-time

We heed for a cuppa an’ a pie

The same in the second half wid be fine

That’s the truth – we canna lie

The Ref blaws the second half aff

The Balloch Road eynd it beckons

Kin we score some mair?

Hopefully a fyow – abiddy reckons

A breeze gets up aroon’ the grun’

The Championship flag furls roon’

The Maroons are pressin’ on an’ on

Fairly getting’ the veesitors doon

We’re in full flow, dominatin’

An’ at wir very peak

The ingin bag is bulged again

The ither team is oh sae seeck

It’s lookin’ gweed – it’s lookin’ great

The game is a’ bit won

We are hivvin’ a pairty

Supportin’ the Maroons is sic great fun

The game hiz only seconds left

The ref’s awa tae blaw his peeper

Fin oor centre he let’s fly

An’ skelps a shot richt by their ‘keeper

Time’s up – it’s in the bag

Fae the Stand – a michty cheer

The Howlin’ Shed is rockin’

There’s naebiddy gies us the fear

The Main Gates they swing open

We gaung oot full o’ the joys

Celebratin’ anither great win

Bi thon super Maroon boys

Aye, its great gaun tae Kynoch Park

On a Setterday aifterneen

Waatchin the lads in Maroon
