Song for Trappatoni

[NeilMcD]

Yeah and smart comments from you on an internet forum really get the crowd going. I know one thing for sure that Croke Park is not a morgue due to myself as I sing non stop through most games there and would sing constantly at the away games and will do so in Norway and Georgia and Montenegro this year.

I think we should sing some Mozart and some opera songs as he is an opera buff and loves his classical music.

Loving it - If we cant be the best anymore we should make a stab at the most cultured.

This would be a great tune when they teams are coming out on the pitch. Go mental. Wehoooooo!!!!!

Its a laugh alright. Ninja Turtles? No wonder Croke Park is like a morgue.

How about you make a suggestion on how to change that then

When we fly to Norway, I want you to have my parachute. Just in case yours doesnt work in the event of a crash.

To An Póc ar Builé
-------------------------------------------

As I set out for Lansdowne Road
With colours on to join a meithil,
Who should I meet but the Trapper Tony
And he roarin' mad, in ferocious mettle.

CHORUS: Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile
Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile

He chased me up the Long Mile Road
He beggin' for, new players needed
To play in green was all required
And on his back I jumped unheeded.

CHORUS: Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile
Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile

He ventured through the cheering crowd
Not blinkin once, no pressure showing
"For Africa" he said we're bound
A nations confidence was growing.

CHORUS: Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile
Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile

We stood up proud, the anthems playin'
No Forza team could dream suppress us,
Our hearts on sleezes he now commanded
The Trap sent forth the Green Colossus .

CHORUS: Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile
Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile

The day grew on, our lead grew wider,
The Irish crowd sang clear and louder,
The Trappers job, had made him hero
And from above Delaney prouder.

CHORUS: Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile
Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu - Aill-il-lu ta an Trap ar buile

Excellente...but I'd rather as a chorus just

Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu..EE-yoh-vann-ee-Trap-a-toni

Aill-il-lu puill-il-iu..EE-yoh-vann-ee-Trap-a-toni

i really think that paok song would be cool to get going, but i can only imagine the stares i would get when standing up in the lower centre cusack singing that.....and trying to get others to join in. it really annoys me, i end up looking like a flute, but they are the real flutes.

Could the FAI designate a section as a "singing" section? We've done that at club level several times. I guess they'd only have to do it once officially for people to get the idea.

ask pineapple stu about that one...

Yeah this is a long battle that has been fought and has been mentioned in the match programmes at games and talked about here for ages. Pineapple Stu is the man who knos most about it on this board and will be able to fill you in on it. Its a disgrace that the FAI never went about and done it.

I think the crowd in the Canal End do seem to be a lot better than the rest of the ground though. I sat at the Germany game in the Hogan and it was depressing with people in their Saturday night clubbing gear and just no interest in what was going on the pitch etc.

Already there. Its in the Canal End(Davin). Just not much to sing about recently. The Welsh and Slovakia games were the loudest.

The only way to get the Irish crowd going is to have simple catchy chants. Some of the songs suggested in this thread are ridiculous. FFS most fans dont even sing The Fields and everyone knows that. BTW what is wrong with this song anyway?? The simpler the better.

[NeilMcD]

Most people are followers but if you can get a chant going at an away game say Norway away in August or the game in London it can catch on and the more it is repeated the more it can then be used at Croke Park etc.
