The Mariners Salute

[Wombat]

I think we need to have a Mariners salute. Similar to the Leeds salute but with 3 fingers to the left breast where our badge is. The 3 fingers signify our Treble. Thumb and little finger tucked in.
Can be used as a greeting whenever you see another Mariners fan.

Any Masonic-type lurks to go with it? Maybe preferential employment, building development applications, discounts [for a massage] or getting those pesky parking tickets sorted?

On a serious note I've always thought that the straight armed response to "Who do we sing for" is uncomfortably like a nazi saluting and yelling "Sieg". Lets not give the opposition an opportunity to misinterpret it since it is now illegal.

Sorry. Who does a stiff arm salute to that?

Did you have one Shiraz too many tonight Sailor??? Perhaps all fans should keep their hands by their side at all times and keep all the singing to the level of Kumbaya, My Lord to ensure no one thinks we are yelling out "Seig" at random or being illegally boisterous.

we should all sing this and jump around waving our arms like drunken bedraggled nutjobs....or maybe thats just me

Seems kind of pointless when it needs to change to 4 fingers next May.

Everyone around me straightens their left arm when they respond with
'we sing for yellow''

Easily adapted

Nah, maybe I'm just a bit too sensitive

But I'm not advocating this either.

As I seemingly have my creative underpants on today, I propose the following:

1. CCM - Wombat’s three fingered salute (soon to become four)

2. Vuck/$ity/SFC/WSW/ADL/Methcarthur - A two fingered salute

3. Jest - A one fingered salute

The others get a pass or 2 or 3 above as the occasion dictates

Simples

 

[Ironbark]

It's a unifying idea and gives a way to acknowledge each other as fans without just yelling go mariners

 

[Melange]

Perhaps all fans should keep their hands by their side at all times

Are you suggesting there may be VAR reviews to ensure fans don't have their hands in an unnatural position?

2. Vuck/$ity/SFC/WSW/ADL/Methcarthur - A two fingered salute

Using 1 or both hands?!
