The Croke Park experience and atmosphere

[Dazzy]

There it ****ing is tonight!:mad:

[eirebhoy]

As someone said in another thread it's the schoolboy section in the lower Davin/Cusack corner. They're there to have a bit of fun, not really watch the football so we can excuse them for the mexican wave. Most of the singing starts from them tbh.

That mexican wave starting in the davin/cusack bottom corner is such a pain in the h*le when you're trying to watch the match, it's tense and our goal is being pummled and half the crowd are trying to do this stupid f**ing wave, no interest in the game at all.

Stupid f**n gormless kids.

The "who are ya" is just plain cringeworthy horribleness.

I must be getting old.

Great result tho, an improved performance and atmosphere from Saturday.

I dont know, I wasn't at the game but from what Ive been reading here it seems that the el were creating the most noise. Must have been Derry fans or something if it swas they who started the Mexican.

Bitter your international tickets have gone down the swanee?

It was nowhere near our tickets, but thanks for caring minnow.

It's a disgrace - clearly started by people who have no idea what they're supposed to do at a football match. Thankfully it was less successful and prolonged than it was on Saturday (were it went on for 2 or 3 hours it felt like :( ). Also the Corner kids seemed to try some kind of "boring, boring" chant at one point when Slovakia had a corner or something and they realised that some people in the rest of the Canal End didn't actually care about their stupid wave.

That section absolutely LOVE The Proclaimers as well - they were going crazy when 500 Miles came on before the game :eek:

[pegan]

was it only me that noticed that Georgie boy takes great pleasure in walking past Gills Corner House 1 hour before game and waiting for his name to be called......

Also any one see one of our African brothers bear hug Eamann Dunphy as he was heading back mid match after having a slash

can we bring back "we all dream of a team of ........" i know unfortunatly that gary breen is gone :( but the only current member that i can of that will suit the song is richie dunne sorta.

btw im 302 row j, read that a good few from here are in 302 so we should get it really bouncing tonight

How about "We all dream of a team that plays in green" - doesn't matter whose playing then!!!!

[pineapple stu]

At number one!!! Is a player who plays in green...

Doesn't work.

Robbie Keane is the obvious choice because he rhymes with green.

'Number 1, he wears the green' would fit (even if it wouldn't be strictly true!). Still don't think it's a great idea though.

[fergalr]

Lots of people go to Ireland games but never go to any other football games and simply don't know what to do.
Exactly!

I'm not a fan of this particular club but what's needed is something like this (http://www.reclaimthekop.co.uk/cgi-bin/main.pl).

I vote that our next new song is "stick yer mexican wave up yer h*le".




I must be getting old.


Me too - finding myself spending too much time giving out about "today's youngsters".

After the twentieth time my weary old frame just was not up to another "stand up for the boys in green".

I sure didn't think that one through!!!! :o
