I hate that it's used for football but we can't all have what we want.

I agree.
Such a lovely song being used for something that's so destructive and harmful to so many people and families 😢

I quite like that it's now a football song just for the sheer randomness of it all (unless there is some glaring link I'm not noticing!?). But v unhappy to find it's being used to promote gambling

The song’s inspiration coupled with some of its lyrics renders it a bit creepy for me, so can’t say I’m fussed.

I hate that song full stop! I associate it with pissed up people who start fights.
I passed a pub in Oxford tonight and there was a group of women lustily singing "Sweet Caroline".
