Let’s claim the French National Anthem like we did in Paris…make it our own, if you know what I mean! Would be great if the Irish players sang along too. Having said that, it would be great if the Irish players sang OUR anthem!

Does anyone have access to one or both anthems written phonetically?
To be fair, most of the players do make an effort to sing the anthem. Kilbane has learnt it in Irish and belts it out. There are a few who don't but I think that's probably more down to the language barrier - its not an easy language if you're brought up in Birmingham or Glasgow.Originally Posted by Scram

NO!
When we sang the French anthem in Paris, that was a one-off.
It should not be done again. It has to be spontaneous. Diff circumstances for an away match, as well.
Lets just make as much noise for our own lads as possible.
I learnt the French anthem at school. Still know the wordsIt's my party piece.
Could never understand why the English born players never learnt our anthem in English and they could have sung along then. Too much to learn the Irish version.
Certainly won't sing the French anthem at our HOME game let alone our playersWe need to concentrate on our own and raise the roof!!
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Singing the French anthem in Paris was hilarious. Henrys face on the giant screen laughing while all these green shirts were going nuts behind him was hysterical.
Why dont they print out the phonetic version on a songsheet for the fans. Not everyone speaks the language or can read it.
no way should our players or fans sing the oppositions anthem!!
just concentrate on belting out our own please
I dont remember seeing henry on the big screen, having said that i dont remember much from that weekend nevermind the game :embarassed:
Id say people being fairly ****ed could end up singing it.
The thing is we didnt actually "sing" their anthem we just hummed along. Fair play the french took it in good spirits!
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
How embarrassing would that be?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Why the hell would we sing their anthem?? As was said earlier it was done on the day in Paris, and it was a bit of a laugh.
Would just be stupid and pointless singing theirs in Croker !!
As embarassing as Irish players singing the french anthem or humming along to try to psyche them out??
Hilarious

How about the referee singing along - Check out the end of Irelands Call
Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?
Yeah, just about.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Father Ted: C'mon Jack. Get up!
Father Jack: Feck off!
Father Dougal: How are we going to get Father Jack up, Ted?
Father Ted: I know. Quick. Put on that song, Dougal.
Father Dougal: What song, Ted?
Father Ted: That song Dougal. The one that Jack always stands up to.
Father Dougal: Oh that song.
(Marseilles plays)
Father Jack: Up! Get feckin' up! Get up the feckin' lot of yez.
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
No way... If you dont know it in Irish dont sing it!!!
Id rather them stand there looking puzzled that singing it in English...
I hope we belt out our anthem so loud it makes us deaf
I will respect the French national anthem think its excellent one but no way will I sing it. I will respect it and clap after its finished but by god by that stage my lungs will be ready to belt out Amhrán na bhFiann
For those English born it would have been better to learn it in English first, then you know what the Irish version actually means.No way... If you dont know it in Irish dont sing it!!!
Id rather them stand there looking puzzled that singing it in English...
Then learn and sing the Irish version.
Pretty pointless just bellowing a load of phonetically learnt sounds if you don't know what you are actually singing....
And you wonder why it's difficult to learn for non Irish speakers or non Irish familiar....!!
They are totally different phonetically in places !!!
Completely different !!
