The Bouncy or The
Bouncy Bouncy is a sports
celebration which entails jumping up and down on the spot while chanting the
word “bouncy” or “Let's all do the bouncy” repeatedly. It is mostly done by
fans of Australian club Brisbane Roar, Northern Ireland national football team,
and the Northern Ireland national football team.
The Bouncy was first executed
in 1989 as a terrace song. In 1994, the then Rangers head of security, Alistair
Hood as a joke suggested that Ibrox Stadium should have seatbelts set up to
prevent fans doing The Bouncy. The action is regarded as a positive action as
seen by the Rangers fans doing it in the City of Manchester Stadium in the 2008
UEFA Cup Final against Zenit St Petersburg. In modern times, the bouncy has
become usual with fans of League of Ireland Side Limerick FC.
