And their hero was the Greener,
Brian Kerr from Dublin town.
Oh how we cheered the young Given boy
and the pace of Finnan wide,
Kilbane fought hard for the master Roy,
with Reidy by his side
What I'd give to shake the regal hand,
Of Duffer, Clint or Keane
Another hero for old Ireland
Was the Captain Cunningham.
So the Greener attained his daring plan
Left the Frenchmen on the floor
With Clint and Robbie both on song
We knew they had to score
And when Henry, Saha and Cisse missed
Their faces cold as stone
We were sure of triumph, cheered and kissed,
Three points were all our own...
It never ceases to amaze me how much spare time some people have. :)Quote:

20,000 Irish fans in one end singing one man went to mo, with all the other support scattered round the stadium joining in and when it got to 10 men, French wouldn't know what was going on...................... :cool:
Hello all just found this site.
how about this on as sung by celtic fans but slightly modified. Nice and simple and with 20,000 singing it could get the crowd and team going!
We shall not, we shall not be moved.
We shall not, we shall not be moved,
Not by the French, the Swiss or the Faroes
We shall not be moved.
yeah.Quote:

Come on now Peadar, quite a few of the chants we sing at city games have been lifted from foreign supporters. Once they generate a bit of noise, who cares where the origins lie. ;)Quote:

I don't think we need either of these at an Ireland game.
It's possible that we have people supporting Ireland who are also Rangers fans. You most certainly have loads of Ireland supporters who are not Celtic fans.
how about somehow adapting the sultans of ping song for one of our players:
give him a ball and a yard of grass
he'll put you through for the perfect pass
ratt tatt tatt tatt tatt tatt
hes an nice ould man....
It's not only sung by Celtic Fans. It sung by other clubs also!Quote:

How many teams sing an altered "Oh When The Saints"? Who cares, as long as they sing?
Come again... :confused:Quote:

I'm also sick of looking at, and having to listen to Mourinho, on an almost daily basis on Sky Sports News. Does he ever stop moaning? Of course alot of the prominant British tabloid media journalists are Chelsea fans, which explains alot of the BS that appears in the papers regarding Chelsea.
In any case, adopting a Chelsea song for Ireland is the equivelant of adopting a Rangers song. No thanks. :mad:
They're both crap songs as far as I'm concerned.Quote:

BO11ix. ok you can't stand Chelsea your choice so any song sang about Damien Duff @ Chelsea and sang @ ireland games will be a "rangers" song.........seems to be some sectarian views posted on this thread
A shame he's not playing, because Claude Makalele really lends himself to a bit of Los Del Mar...
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Makalele
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Makalele
Heyyy, Makalele (aiight!)
Just as well we're not Spanish, cos we'd sound like right plonkers singing:
Give your body pleasure, Makalele
Because your body is for giving it pleasure and good things
Give your body pleasure, Makalele
... which is the translation, don't you know.
Should that be 'Gaaayyy Makalele'?
****ing hell... :eek:
You may understand what you've just written but I doubt many others do!Quote:

Duff is all you need."
Bring it on!
we used to sing that tune in school at gaa matches changed the third line to we're with a team on the road to victory...this could be changed to we're with a team on the road to germanyQuote:

I still get shivers when I think of the crowd singing
"On the one road" at the WC Quarter Final against Italy in 1990.
I watched in on TV and had never seem anything like it. It seems like the whle stadium was singing.
Chorus:
We're on the one road, sharing the one load
We're on the road to God knows where
We're on the one Road, it may be the wrong road
But we're together now who cares
Northman, Southmen, comrades all,
Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal
We're on the one road, swinging along
Singing an Irish song.
Though we've had our troubles now and then
Now is the time to make them up again
Sure aren't we all Irish anyhow
Now is the time to step together now.
(Chorus)
Tinker, tailor, every watchers son
Butcher, bakers shoulder by his son
Rich man, poor man, every man in line
All together just like Auld Lang Syne.
(Chorus)
Night is darkness just before the down
From this entrance Ireland is reborn
Soon we'll all unite as Irishmen
Pronounce this land our Nation once again.
(Chorus)
We're on the one road, mabey the wrong road
but we're together now who cares.
Northmen, Southmen comrades all,
Belfast, Dublin, Cork and Donegal
we're on the one road, marching along
singing a soldier's song.
Yeah its a classic although most guys go quiet on the second verse :)

I always believed that it was already linked with Keane?Quote:

are 2 lines from the song but are Brain Clough quotes, the manager who took Keane to Notts Forest. I remember seeing them lay live and say the song was for Keane and Clough.
Good list of songs, but I've one suggestion
When singing the fields of Athenry, include the first verse
For anyone who doesn't know
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
Michael they have taken you away
For you stole trevelyan's corn
So the young might see them morn
Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Can everyone please make sure they follow these simple steps so that their voice is properly warmed up before they start singing ;)

the real sally:
We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
the irish paris version:
We love to see the duffer on the wing
We idolise the duffer pull the strings
And we sang him a song of times long gone
oh we’ll crown him our own irish king
bonjour bonjour, green army are on tour
So buy me wine and whiskey and some strong liquor (morning cure)
Ten thousand paddys on the banks of the seine
To the greatest irish party paris'll never see again
Bom bom bom aye aye
Bom bom bom aye aye
Sink or swim, sink or swim
one thing is certain we'll never give in
hand in hand, side by side
we'll all stand together
IRELAND IRELAND IRELAND........
The Frogs Chorus....how appropriate is that. (Second time this year Paul McCartney will hear himself in stade de france)
Weird. I was going to post this yesterday having heard it on Ryan Tubridy :eek:Quote:
