Shame so many turned their backs on the 6 counties after the treaty was signed and this filtered right through generations that are now content that a fifth of the island is still under british rule, sing patriot tunes if you mean them.

I don't give a rats arse if it amuses you to sing anti-british songs on your own time, but I would question if it's relevant to a bunch of mixed Irish and British citizens taking part in a World Cup qualifier versus Georgia.Quote:

Its a football match. If it isn't of some motivational or comedic relevance to the teams on the park, it had better be a damn good song.Quote:

there is a relevance for Bohs fans singing Logan songs, we've both been quite successful away in europeQuote:

Obviously not relevant to a few overpaid premiership stars but as I said, sometimes quality breaks the mold!
Gavinzac, I dont give a rats arse if theres one or two like you at Ireland games. I'll be singing, the fields, we're on the one road, molly malone, sean south and go on home british soldiers and I guarantee you nearly everybody else will be joining in. You'll probably be hiding under a table somewhere from the big bad nationalists
Funnily enough, nearly everyone sits in silence and cringes at people "like you".Quote:

Two Songs for Saturday
"All we are saying is give Davey a testimonial"
"You'll never walk alone" and no im not a liverpool fan but it is emotional and does get the fans going, i dont gice a s*** who else sings songs just want to gewt behind the team.
Sadly I think there'll be very little singing on Saturday. Perhaps it's just the area of the stadium that I'm in, but at Croke Park Geysir is correct in saying that everyone will be sitting in silence and cringing. No doubt if we go behind there'll be a few boos, but when myself and the person I sit with try to start up songs we're generally the only ones in our section to do so, and we do get a few odd looks.Quote:

No doubt if we're successful during the campaign then these people will come in their hordes looking for tickets.
I can't wait for us to get back to Lansdowne where hopefully these people will be unable to get tickets once again and we'll get the old atmosphere back.
One for Shay Given....

There's no way it could be started at a home match but at an away match it could definitely get going, it's easy to catch onto and it did sound good in Pod.
As much as I would love to get Croke park rocking to the sound of a good few rebel songs, theres plenty of good Irish songs without having to use strictly republican songs that might split the home crowd. We also should avoid any embarassing borrowing of British tues and lyrics.
On the One Road should be warmly welcomed by all. A few of us were interviewed on SkySports news before the home game against Slovakia and we ended the interview with a few lines of the One Road and it worked well. I dont see any problems with that?
Fields of Athenry is the most obvious selection.
Here we go again, wer on the road again could be brought out of the locker, everybody knows it surely.

Fields of Athenry how does that go again ;););)
The Craic was Ninety in the Stade de France
Well weren't we the rare oul stock
spent the evenin' gettin' locked
in the station called Kings Cross
where the high stools were engaging
over a foot bridge, down by the dock,
the train she left at five o'clock.
"Hurry now lads," said Trap
"or before we're there we're all be back"
carry him if you can
the craic was ninety in the Stade de France
Before we reached the Paris base
the ding dong we did surely raise
in the bar of the train, had great sport
as the train she rolled out from the port
landed up there nearly dead
enquired for a vacant bed
the hostel room we soon got shown
by a decent frauline up the road,
beat it if ye can
sure the craic was ninety in the Stade de France
Next morning went for a ramble round
for to see the sights of Paris town
all went up for a mighty session
at a place they called the Eiffel.
we must have been drunk by half past three
to sober up we took penalties
back to the pub for the spruce up
while waitin' said the rosary
we all drew up our plan.
the craic was ninety in the Stade de France
That night we went up full of jar,
came back down by Metro car
Met Big Stan and all went in
with green paint on our faces
the Frenchie boys now it was said
were all to be found in the swine flu bed.
McShane was there in his Ireland shirt.
with them foreign girls he was tryin' to flirt.
sayin' "here, girls, I'm your man "
the craic was ninety in the Stade de France
Trap he fancied his good luck
on a French demise he was struck
Tardelli was by his side
and he throwin' shapes out to her.
Trap thought he'd take a chance
he asked old Andy out to dance
around the pitch he stepped it out
and to Trap it was no bother
everythin' was goin' to plan.
the craic was ninety in the Stade de France
Well Domenech, he fancied Trap
Yer man stood there 'til Plat' came back
Whack! They all whacked into Trap
Trap was landed on his back.
the Gendarme force arrived as well,
Tardelli landed a couple of belts as well
landed up in the Paris jail
until the London train did sail,
deported every man.
the craic was ninety in the Stade de France
yes the craic was ninety in the Stade de France
Off the top of my head (after we go up 1-0)...
Cheer up Ribery
How bad can it be
to be, on the sidelines
watching, the French get beat
From 2004 but still relevant
Zee dane
it's just like watching zidane
They call him Kevin Kilbane
it's just like watching Zidane.
or stolen from everybody else
you are my whelan
my Glenny Whelan
you keep me happy when skies are grey
F%^k your lampards and stevie Gerrards
please dpn't take my whelan away.
When Robbie goes up to lift the woooorld cup

When Robbie goes up to lift rhe world cup

I saw my mate, the other day,
He said he's just seen the white Pele,
So I asked, Who is he?
He goes by the name of McGeady........
(To the tune of Lilly the Pink - for Robbie Keane)
We'll drink, a drink, a drink
to Robbie the King, the King, the King
He's the leader of our football team,
He's the greatest,
Centre Forward,
That the World, has ever seen........
Aiden McGeady,
Aiden McGeadeeeey,
Running down the wing,
Hear the Irish sing,
Aiden McGeady
To the tune of that song united fans used to sing, Viva Ronaldo. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_11KVAeWAg)

To the Tune of "When the Celts go up to the lift the Scottish Cup' - To any anti Celtic lads try not to let it put you off - its simple, catchy and can be sang over and over.
We'll be singing easy peasy
on the Champs Elysees
We'll be there....We'll be there
Went down well when Celtic played PSG many moons ago....
We could always steal another French song that was kinda big round the time of the last world cup...
Instead of 'Zidane, il va marquer', 'Kilbane, il va marquer', meaning 'Kilbane he's gonna score'
