Back in th e70's and 80's the football fans used to sing as above and the rugby crowd sang the chorus. then the rugby crowd got all the tickets in the early 90's and it changed.

We really should bring that one back.

Yep, though I think there's now room for the football fans to claim the "alive alive-oh" bit as their own. Super song and totally synonimous with Ireland (just like The Fields) and shows we don't have to rely on copying English songs.

For me all we need is:

Molly Malone
The Fields
Come on You Boys in Green
Stand Up For The Boys in Green
Ireland Ireland...

Sit Down If You Hate The Wave (in response to the habitual & moronic wave in every fcuking game. Just shows in my opinion who have come to see Ireland play and experience the nerves & tension that it brings and which muppets haven't a clue what it's all about).

I personally think player specific chants are a bit cliquey and are a bit of an "in joke" among a few rather than something the whole ground can pick up on in a short time. It's not like club football where the songs evolve from watching players week in week out and everone picks up on it. I think "All You Need is Duff" could work though. Even the Mexican wave morons could pick up on that one.

Out of curiosity, whats up with the "you'll never walk alone" song? Just curious, do you guys ever sing that? Seems like it "belongs" to a lot of teams.

Dundee Utd fans used to sing "weve only got one shoe" whilst waving one shoe in the air. Quite funny but never really understood (nor could be bothered looking it up) why they did it? Arabs...Sand..sand in shoe?....fcuk knows....

Might have something to do with an arab way of insulting somebody ??? eg George W Bush and shoe incident at a press conference

agreed on Molly - a song synonomous with Ireland and the chorus has to be kept in. Would be absolutely rousing.

This is the best thing I've heard of in years. We could make this synonymous with our matches if it took off. It's hilarious & would look great if there were 1500 of us doing this. Deffo gonna try get this started. Good one Damo.

Celtic fans got it from St Pauli. It take a bit of time for Celtic fans to get a tune going but it's becoming big now at away games.

St Pauli:

What about (& only If we win), something in 'solidarity', with our visitors?
eg. Georgia, 'Going home Russian soldiers, going home!'

it might be a tad 'political' for some, but seriously there should be some account taken of either acknowledging (or winding-up) the opposition in each game, and I'm not talking 'a Rainy night in Georgia'!

We sang that in Mainz and it was topical now its not really topical.

how about this version:

We love you, we love you, we love you,
and everywhere we'll follow, we'll follow, we'll follow
cos we support the irish, the irish, the irish
and thats the way we like it, we like it, we like it.

but the main one's mentioned on here should do to get us started.:) along wit the shoe's off chant! :p

"Let the people sing". This being sung in a packed Celtic Park makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. It's easy to learn and it's an IRISH song with no political underones for the west brit brigade.;) Only slagging but seriously this would be brilliant for the intro and would get the crowd up straight away.

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

Would the west brit brigade be the folks who support Cork City or Bohs instead of Celtic? :confused:

Can I make a suggestion..as it's getting close to the day of the match..Can we draw up the DEFINITIVE song selection and just stick to it.There's been so many songs mentioned that it could end up being a disaster. If someone (Mento, maybe) did up a list of the 4/5 songs that are gonna be sung. Instead of someone starting the St. Pauli ultra song that only one half know, and someone else starting "Let the people sing" that the other half know. For the first effort I think everyone singing some of the old reliables would get the rest of the stadium going, instead of it sounding like an exclusive club where no one else can join in cos they don't know the words. And one other point... Everyone jumping up and down at the same time is class..even if it's only 1000 people.

You can't turn the section into a concert though.

Best thing is for songs to get sung and either learnt or discarded. If they're keepers, more join in next time. You know, like the olden days. This thread's just a headstart on that.

I think some level of concensus may be required alright.

Could I suggest "Sing your hearts out for the lads" be included on the list as a statement of intent considering its the first shot for the singing section.

Its simple and 10 pints friendly. :)

I'm sorry but I think it's much too long..for now anyway....It would take weeks to learn it off. Plus when the music is played at half time it's usually crap and no one's listening to it anyway. I'm not trying to knock your ideas, but I really want to this to work, we NEED it to work and I think sticking to a few that everyone knows and that will ignite the passion in the stadium is the way to go...for now. Something that can get louder and louder,and get people on their feet, if a song is very long only a few will sing the verses and everyone will join in in the chorus..but the song could be dead by the time it gets to the chorus.

Also I would say that a large percentage of the ground would be Celtic fans and would know it from it being played at Celtic park.(the rest would probably know it from being an old irish song)

I think that if it was played and the singing section were singing it(even just the chorus), it would then soon catch onto the rest of the ground. A good time to play it would be just before kick off...Go on give it a shot :)

Other songs that I would recommend for the PA to play:

You'll never beat the Irish - Wolfe Tones
On the One road - Wolfe Tones

I like the Idea of the song "I love you...when you call, I'll follow..." - That would be one to sing during the match...

I never heard of the above song until this thread. Frankly we should be distancing ourselves from the songs sung by Celtic fans for fear of being tarred with the sectarian muck that they sing.

Much better Irish suggestions on here already such as

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

and

�r�, s� do bheatha 'bhaile! �r�, s� do bheatha 'bhaile!

�r�, s� do bheatha 'bhaile........! Anois ar theacht Trappattoni.
