To the tune of a song we sing at Bohs and I have heard the Liverpools fans sing it, dont know the name of the tune though.
Oh Trappatoni the one and only, Italian
They say his days are numbered not the Great Coach anymore
But he will rule the world like he has always done before

Dont have a clue but its great at the Bohs games as it is just sung over and over and builds up a great atmosphere. I think a Greek side sing it too which is where the Bohs fans got it, I think, not 100 per cent sure.

it is one of them songs that sounds very impressive...perhaps we could change it with trapattoni within the chorus (if reports are to believed):D

thats not bad aidz i like it!!! i think it should be more of a battlecry though, like that song is.....plus the boys in green its thrown in there only to let us know its ireland it doesn't seem to fit in really....
I think it would have to be started on an away trip and then it will catch on. So one of the games like montenegro or something....then cyprus and then it would catch on at home. :)

We desperately need some new songs. This one looks like it could catch on but it may be difficult in Croke Park just due to the size of the crowd. Away looks the best bet. I'm not sure we could keep it going as long as the PAOK fans though!

Trappatoni songs will be easy!! Think Billy Idol mony, mony...Come On Turn us Round Trappatoni...I say Yeah, yeah.......
............Boney Maroni,
and lotsa and lotsa of Italiana songs to be ripped off.

Steady on people!
He aint signed up yet..i still dont believe it - only the Examier reporting it..and they said Delaney was to fly out today to sort out the contract but he was at a function in Dublin today so unless he's flying out this evening that wasnt true..maybe somebody could follow him and see if he heads to the airport!!
Just being cautious, hope it happens

I'm sure a song that sounds Italian like "Thats Amore" is in order.

The thread title got me wondering, with all the people linked to the job, I'm surprised no-one adapted the Beautiful South's 'Song for Whoever'.

Celtic fans started the Artur Boruc song at the end of last season but people are only really getting used to the words now. I doubt we could get a song to that tune going at Ireland games unless it's released on record or something.

It will be good for the away games anyway. I reckon Norway we will give it the first airing. I will certainly sing it.

Some body will have to re-write the words for me but I reckon "Yankee Doodle" has got serious potential! As in....

got this back about that song:
The video that you found is from the 80th birthday celebration of a Greek football team, called PAOK, based in Thessaloniki (North Greece). These fans are really crazy(!) and they were singing one of their favourite songs! Pantahinaikos' funs are the craziest though! Lol!

A few of us who go to bohs matches usually sit around drinking coming up with chant's, some catch on some don't the key is to come up with a catchy well known tune and then manipulate the words to fit.
