We’re the right side, we’re the right side, we’re the right side over here
We’re the middle, we’re the middle, we’re the middle over here
We’re the left side, we’re the left side, we’re the left side over here
You’re the convicts, you’re the convicts, you’re the convicts over there!!! - Sport
I’m not joking when I’m saying this. Cricket actually has a better atmosphere nowadays than most footy grounds in England.
Absolutely - proper banter
thats because a lot of fans have been priced out
Correct
Generally happens when you sell your soul and move to an athletics stadium
Well said, from a lifelong Arsenal and cricket fan👍🏻
As an Australian, I really love how they chant "you are the CONVICTS you are the CONVICTS" with such conviction. Good shit 👍🤣
Every cricket lover should do a test match at Edgbaston. Always a great day out.
Old Trafford and Leeds as well
Good banter from the Poms. I wouldn't expect anything more or less. They'd get the same over here!
ahh.. we love you lot too really 😉
congrats on saving the second test, you batted with much skill and determination to say you lost the greatest batsmen in the world for half of the game
good luck going in to today 👍
We get the same in OZ? You've only got one song!! Absolutely lacking in imagination when it comes terrace songs. Thats why our premier league grounds have such a great atmosphere. MCG with 100,000 aussies, shhhhh.
@@scousebusters1989 Premier League atmospheres? lol Old Trafford, hear a pin drop, same with Arsenal, Chelsea. Only decent atmosphere is Liverpool tbf. And that's only for ECL games.
@@mitch2620 you have no clue about football hahahaha you'd probly follow through sitting in Old Trafford because youd hear actual supporters not Aussie Aussie kindergarten bollocks 😆
@@jamesleetuffnel3745 Sitting? Last time I was there I stood on the Stretford End. Daft flog. Kindergarten? Yeah hurry up mate, you'll be fuckin late!
Good friendship between two great country's. Good old banter.
I’m a Aussie. I love this
Me too. Funny as f#$k
Cracks me up all the time
It's all good banter
It's not. It really is not.
England v Australia cricket have the best sporting rivalry there is. Brilliant, both sets of fans!
Sooooo funny
It's abuse. Nothing more
@@Keith-jw3lcit's friendly banter you melt
Im aussie but this is classic 😂
Spartacus Maximus one of many reasons test match attendance has died so much here
@@Skulduggery_P The CA will stop sledging next! Mate, the bollocks at games now is stupid. Watch the Stars at The MCG and it's beyond belief with the stewards etc.
Yeah it's funny, good way to spend the day.. drinking beer in the sun singing pisstakes to each other.
There are really no more entertaining breed of sports fans in the world than the English period. Was lovely having them in the Caribbean earlier this year where it was a virtually a home venue as opposed to an overseas tour. Sing God save the Queen and the Ten German Bombers also plz!!!! :)
We dont sing German bombers in cricket coz the germans dont play it. UEFA threatened to ban any fans who sang it tho as germans dont understand banter
Absolute class! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Barmy army in full swing
😂 Class? A bunch of drunk hooligans?
I was there that day, went on for ages and only stopped for a wicket shout - quality
I'm a footy fan first, this banter is fucking brilliant
I am a convict too and proud of it. As long as we beat the Poms they can say whatever they like.
I am quite a fan of the Barmy Army, they give a lot of good natured fun and we like it here in Oz. Well done boys!
So thankful my ancestors pleaded guilty to crimes they didn't commit otherwise I'd be living in England!!!
lapalad absolutely fantastic , we are brothers and sisters that can have a good laugh. Amazing
@Basfordiron sounds like your the one without the sense of humour
So thankful we haven’t got deadly snakes, spiders, man eating sharks and all kinds of mad giant insects. Plus you can keep the heat English weather best weather in the world 👍
@@yamyite You forgot scorpions, stonefish, coneshells and Cassowaries, and I live in the snowy mountains bloody freezing in winter
Damn they got us **shaking my fist while on beach in winter**
typical convict
Then a crocodile bites off your leg
@@Forestgravy90 or if not that bitten by a deadly spider 😄
Edgbaston is a truly great cricket venue. Best ground I have been to watch cricket at. The atmosphere really is special. The Hollies stand is the place to be if you want to join in with the Barmy Army.
I know, says it in the title.
curly 123 brum for you lol
Best group of fans in any sport. Love it!
Absolutely brilliant
This is magnificent, such classic banter from the barmy army LMAO!!
cricket like footy now.. this is 5 minutes from where I'm living
brain Smart no it is not villa fans are twice as good
Absolute classic! Proper banter as always!
Why are England supporters the only ones who say banter?
@@Barry-wk7so because
The origin of the word banter remains obscure, although it appears to have started in England about three hundred years ago as a verb. Its original meaning was to tease or ridicule, usually in an aggressive manner but nowadatys its british slang used for playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks for a laugh.
@ejfq8cs No its not, its fact!!
This is cricket at it's best ❤️❤️❤️
Football se sikhe hai ye sab😂
You've sung the Convict Song haven't you
Brilliant stuff.
The best rivalry in the world
@Agrima sharma yeah it’s nothing compared to Australia and England.
Brilliant!
Im an aussie and I love how they chant "YOU ARE THE CONVICTS YOU ARE THE CONVICTS..." with such conviction haha
As an Aussie, I fucking love this😂🍺
brilliant love it
The middles got to up its game!
Class!!
Great Ashes atmosphere.
we are the greatest supporters in the world... BARMY ARMY !!!!!
Better than most football grounds
Very true, Hollies is unreal 🍺
Ben stokes and world cup changed cricket forever in BRITAIN...wooww what a player..love frm india
England cricket fans make England football fans look like a load of toddlers in a nursery 🤣🤣
Convicts that kick your ass 😂
Could hear them singing this through the TV all night at the Adelaide Oval last night. Then the audio must have cut out or something, cause after they were 2 for 12, couldn't hear a thing. 🤣🤣🤣
Funny my ancestor was a convict still funny.😃
Lmao we need to send a mob to reply to this song, "We're convicts, we're convicts, we're convicts over here"
We Aussies don't think of ourselves as convicts, hence it doesn't occur to us
@@maddyg3208 * We aussies are really lame when compared to English fans
@@adrianlegendheart9297we Aussies don’t bash the opposition’s fans when we lose…
Bein a aussi u pomi crowds r great character .entertaining.
Archer seems good.. Can't Wait till he comes to Australia. 😟
@@AC-JDAM
I know , he looks good ..
Love the barmy army.
Reminds me of the Shed end Stamford Bridge in the 80s
16 th best atmosphere in world cricket
Is it British culture to sing at sporting events?
you do it at Rugby and football matches as well .
Yep
It's called true supporters 😉 bit more creative than Walt sing maltida and Aussie oi oio oi whatever that crap is 😅😆
Yeah it makes the day funner and some of the stuff people come up with is amazing I have some videos of it on my channel
English culture never British
ned barker the Scots sing at football and rugby matches
Aussie but with a soft for the Barmy Army. Old school eccentric English.
This is normal mate! We love you really.
Most organised chant ive ever heard
Bit of banter.. politics aside (none of which is serious anyway). Love the Barmy Army!
I guess it's better then calling us cheats. I'd love to hear something sung about warner and Bancroft,like the one you used to smash mark waugh with.
Bollocks to the pc brigade, this is how it should be brilliant
@Will to Power no chance mate we'd all get nicked by the pc controlled police that protects them
I don’t know a single Aussie who cares about the whole convict thing 😂 nobody knows when their ancestors came here
You got to remember where the convicts come from !!!
True there are more in parliament here that need deporting
BRIAN CHESTER
in a nutshell Brian 👍
David G and where all the good English players come from, not england
David G I’m glad my ancestors stole a loaf of bread otherwise I would be living in crappy England
@@crazyforcoffee5950 True that. Can't blame for being miserable sops, look at their weather!
We are proud convicts 🇦🇺
Cricket is revived in England after the world cup win wow
From an Englishman who lives in Australia love it
Go home
Can someone please write what they're singing?
Its a shame they didn't win in edgebaston. Imagine the scenes and the banter if they had won.
Ahhh Australia, the first and only true Brexit
Ryan Paton USA?
Nope. That was sorted out by a War.
The Brits do learm from their mistakes.............eventually
India?
@@davidjones272 theres some folks in Kashmir that might not agree with you
;^)
@@ryanpaton2086 what mistakes? I don’t see any mistakes.
Anyone whos been to Australia to watch England will know the the average Aussie bloke has no idea how to support their country at a sporting event and without the traveling England fans the Ashes in Aussie would just be a gathering of people sitting in silence in ridiculous clothing policed by thugs
@Will to Power British hooliganism isn't something to be proud of, like that stupid wanker above thinks^^^^
That's because cricket died in Australia a while ago. Nobody here goes to it or cares about it anymore. All our best athletes go to more exciting sports like AFL
boz581 bravo
boz581 lol so you think a bunch of 40 year old singing like a bunch of shelias is great support. When at game you can’t understand what they are saying. It’s usually repetitive bullshit. I will take our crowds over yours any day. Siting back here watching the booing from the barmy swarmy it’s so funny. Very quite crowd How about you sing at your grounds don’t worry about ours.
We are a bunch of convicts over here. Wonder who won out of that deal 😂😂. Rug up in your summer boys. Go Aussies
@@suecooke7181 Settle down Sheila. Don't take it to heart. The Australians at sporting events are boring. That's just fact
Nice catchy song, most Aussies are migrants from UK not convicts but some of us are.
Our politicians are convicts. As an Australian love it
Barmy army.Champione
And who has the urn?
1:00 did anyone see Gareth Southgate and the Queen!!??
I am Indian and English fans r best 👌 fan
Doing many leeds games this season?
Joe root lives up to his name he’s fucking ROOT
What exactly are they saying?
You can say what you like about the Brits but we have the best fans in the world
we dont, look at football in PolandTurkey it's another level in many countries
WaTuWaNt it’s louder and more boisterous in other countries but we’ve got that perfect blend of noise and dry humour that’s unmatchable anywhere. Look at the poor Aussies here as example with their weak chants in comparison
It’s not offensive. Aussies love the banter. Many of us are of English decent anyway. It’s all good.
Why do you keep calling it Bater and saying Aussies are good with it? You know it's wrong.
Not a cricket fan but love the barmy army
U mean you are baseball fan
@@laxmansinghadhikari1597 no
@@whufc-essex which sport fan
@@laxmansinghadhikari1597 football (soccer)
@@laxmansinghadhikari1597 well, his profile name suggests which sport he loves
Hey I've got a song for Ben Stokes:
Crime on the telly!
We saw your crime on the telly!
Crime on the teeeelllllyyy!
We saw your crime on the telly!
ahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahaha!
@Kieron Blagden He's a fighter
Christ I’m surprised the stazi didn’t nick them all. Get to the next free speech rally and show that patriotism
Free speech and equality are social constructs
Cunticus Cunticus
yeah both are illusions 😀
Where did those convicts came from?
England
Unfortunately banter like this will probably be called racist by the PC brigade in the next few years. Enjoy it while you can.
lilacfloyd no it won’t. I’m a hardcore Liberal. That’s just ignorant mate. Assuming people like me don’t know the difference between having a laugh and a piss up and blatant bigotry. It Donets work like that. At all.
Its kind of sad because its this sort of stuff in which australian sporting culture was born out of.
can I get the Subtitles please ? anyone ?
Can someone write down the lyrics in here?
They have 3 bays and they go left to right, starting with the first bay saying we’re the left, we’re the left side over here, then they move to second bay saying, we’re the middle, we’re the middle over here, then bay 3 with we’re the right, we’re the right side over here, then they point at the Australians saying you’re the convicts, you’re the convicts over there
It's the Rea Bank.
Not heard it called that for a few years!😊
@@nickf9150 Always be the Rea Bank to me mate.
@@rodwalker1113 Always was when I went in there...👍
If only England had some class, there wouldn't be any convicts.
We've got class working middle and upper can't get any more class's than that
Yeah but your a piece of shit
The Poms are angry at Australia retaining the Ashes.
And to think that the Barmy Army , could be shouting at their distant cousins !!! Makes you wonder . As I've cousins in Oz , my Grandfathers brother emigrated there in 1920 , 1930 .
Of course most Brits have aussie and NZ cousins
Arsenal and Tottenham. City and United. Blues and Villa. Blackpool and Preston. Newcastle and Sunderland. Wednesday and United. Lancashire and Yorkshire. Surrey and Middlesex. All come together to beat the convicts 🏴🏴🏴
Fun fact... most Australians are not actually descended from convicts, but from free settlers.
But Shhhh C_Davie97 don't tell them that it will spoil the song, I tell the convicts my family were going to emigrate to Australia but they hung my uncle Ned so we just stayed home.
@Benjamin Park If that is true Benjamin that would make most Australians the product of those inbred Poms, what's the difference between a yogurt and a Australian the yogurt has some culture.
That's why it's annoying
@@PatrickKelly-lz3pv Geez Pat, did you make that one up yourself? I first heard that joke in the 80s. Never gets old.
C_Davie97 fun fact..... Most Brits could not be described as Poms, but Brits are still referred to as Poms, there are so many theories as to where that word originates no one can give a definitive answer, so I guess Australians will be convicts and Brits will be poms till the end of time.
I'm surprised no one was arrested for having banter and having a good time? Enjoy the banter while you can it's fantastic but soon the powers that be will put a stop to it just like every thing else 'e.g' free speech 😏
These chants have been around forever in Cricket. The Barmy Army and everyone around them, they do it for fun. I don't think anyone will ever get arrested until things become violent which is highly unlikely in Cricket.
You obviously don't understand what I've said and don't understand in the way it was said cus if you did you would know I was having a dig at the authorities cus you can't fart now without causing someone distress and being reported!! Now do you get it?
Are you one of those "Can't even say you're English these days without being arrested!1!!" types?
Can't you understand English? Farted i said 🤔
@@Azog150 I'm always getting arrested for saying I'm English . And farting .
Fact p.o.m was abbreviation for prisoner of the motherland its what the settled Aussies called the English prisoners comming in
Great stuff from the soap dodgers
I think they are jealous about our higher living standard.
Matthew Vicendese cheering there own descent, irony of the English
@Herb Dee were aboriginals convicts? They were just another victim of the disgusting British Empire.
@Herb Dee Who took the country off them first???
@Herb Dee Along with many other first nations people misplaced by British empire!!
We made Australia. Your standard is our standard plonker
Should of come with subtitles....bloody Poms 😏
My dad 95 connosiur 5 day game HATES BARMY ARMY LOL COLNE CRICKET CLUB
Very quiet when England rolled for 67!!! And as an Aussie, would rather live here than that cold little Island.
You realise that nobody over here gives a fuck what you think. And this is well down the pecking order of popular sports in our country
What you say now? Where were you lot MCG Boxing Day 2010? leaving you 11 guys in the ground alone.
Kevin Lynott Id rather comment on what happened today to be honest rather than 9 years ago. 67 not looking so bad now eh? Also wasn’t so quiet. Could see you lot crying though lol brilliant. Although still not a very important sport
@@kevinlynott309 Stand by what I said. Umpire failed. Stokes batted brilliantly and he won the game for you of his own bat. It is a game and I dont care. It was an excellent game and I enjoyed watching it. And I always believed England should come out on top because of Stokes and Archer. Still rather Live here than England.
@Kieron Blagden Literally everyone that views this comment string will think you're the nobhead. You sound like a total asshole.
It’s a shame Australians don’t chant because they could easily have struck up a chorus of ‘Sing when you’re winning’ in response.
How does that one go?
@@lorddennis6046 you only sing when your swimming, 🤣
Ironic that England was saved in this series by the only criminal in the two teams (Ben Stokes).
it's just the football culture, ya sing. that's it.
Poms can sing, too bad they can’t play :)
😂😂😂🇬🇧
Won world cup tho
Is that meant to be a roast? Nothing wrong with convicts
Stand up barmy army
Convict smith another 200 over here
Barmy swarmy
Convicts rule over there
Go Aussies keep the urn where it belongs
The convicts sure did serve it up to the Poms tho.
And their revenge was an absolute hammering of England.
bit of a stretch
Don't rain on our parade you realist.
Also there would be allot of whinging going on at that match
How DARE you stereotype us !
@@vicredshaw1155
Look you're whinging about something now !!
@@BCFCFAN79 true , I'm whinging about our bowlers having no clue as to how to get Smith out !
@@BCFCFAN79 pfft Australians are the biggest whiners there are 😆go sing Aussie oi oi oi ya mug hahaha good child's sports day song btw 😆
@@jamesleetuffnel3745
Ive heard when the British Airways plane lands in Sydney the engines are still whining 2 hours later !!
If only they'd sing when they're losing :')
Harlee_G
They do!
It’s called Crying. 😂
Kieron Blagden
If the overrated stokes singlehandedly defeated the Aussies as you claim
then it’s safe to say Smith absolutely annihilated the English rejects.
@Kieron Blagden Thanks for the Ashes.
Love from Smith :')
@Kieron Blagden How'd the hero Stokes go in the 4th test again, I can't remember....
@Kieron Blagden Better than the 37 England hadn't won them before that, and they had to cheat to do it :')
Imagine being in an army 25,000 strong and being outnumbered by 11 convicts.
I was sat to the right of the Aussie fans, directly under the Australian changing room to. This was funny as fuck to watch. Special mention to the guy dressed up as the Donald Trump baby blimp.
