"IMO" and "implicit"Quote:

I suppose you also think we should boo players who play for the wrong British club as opposed to the right one. Th eright one being of course Manutd/Liverpool/Celtic/Rangers/Arsenal/Chelsea/Leeds and the wrong one being Manutd/Liverpool/Celtic/Rangers/Arsenal/Chelsea/Leeds delete as appropriate.Quote:

No i dont think we should boo players on the basis of their club. Where did i say that???Quote:

What sectarian songs did i mention???
Which British clu are you referring to?? Rangers???
Its the kids. For some reason the corner of the hogan(?) seems to be full of kids. I was close enough to that corner for the Brazil game and it looked like it was hundreds of kids there(maybe FAI organising school tickets?)Quote:

Lads we could sit and argue all night about what songs people like to sing, hate to sing, refuse to sing, etc etc etc etc. Its a pity we didnt show as much passion at the matches and actually sing the songs. I think the point that we are missing is that we want to be the twelve man and create a great atmosphere at the matches. So i do not give a flying hoot what songs we sing as long as we sing songs and sing them loud and encourage the team to victory. I am neither a celtic nor liverpool fan but must admit that i will sing FOA & YNWA at ireland matches and get great enjoyment in singing them. And if anyone refuses to sing a particular song at a game because it is sung by a club team that they dont like then my advice is to go home and watch the match on tv and give your seat to a more passionate fan.
But just to finish the rant the only practical solution to the lack of atmosphere in modern stadiums is for the club/country/association to introduce a singing section...end of rant (know shut up and sing)!
Couldnt agree more. Fair enough the kids enjoy it at friendlies but in a compeditive game its ridiculous, people seem to spend more time watchin it go around the ground than watchin the bloody gameQuote:

So as far as Im concerned any song really is better than nothing.
Sorry never heard it in corner Upper Davin/HoganQuote:

Not sure if this has been done but Spurs used to sing

If Aiden McGeady ever plays paricularly well we could nick this one usually sung about Wayne Rooney by Man U fans:
I saw my mate
the other day
He said - I've just seen the white Pele
So I asked - Who is he?
He goes by the name of Mcgeady,
Mcgeady, Mcgeady - he goes by the name of McGeady.
Instead of we all dream of a team of Gary Breens, why not We all dream of a team of Robbie Keanes
cos he is crap?!

I understand you point about sport being sport, but no need in calling Sean South a Moron. You are a f**king Moron.Quote:

Moron
From Greek mōros 'foolish'.
* IPA: /mɔrɒn/
1. (obsolete) A person of borderline intelligence in the former classification of mental retardation, having of an intelligence quotient of 50-69.
2. (informal) A person who makes uncool, unfunny, uninteresting, or irrelevant (see lame) attempts to impress others and draw attention to himself, especially in a flawed attempt to act like someone else.
What about:
"There's only one Selcuk Tidim!!!!"
GavinZac, your problem is you have no balls, at least he did you root and it wasn't a terror attack, it was an attack on an foreign oppressor on the Island of Ireland. The exact same as the men of 1916 who without the whole island would still be under British rule.
Something tells me we are off topic here lads .
If someone suggested we sing "We all dream of a team of Ian Hartes" I'm sure the subject matter would come up for some critical discussion. If someone suggests we sing about a terrorist, we can discuss that too; I would have hoped we could do so without resorting to personal insults the way our ever-so-Irish northerner has done.Quote:

This is all getting a bit ridiculous, when someone is contending that Letterkenny is south, to a Cork person.
How about "we all dream of a team of Ian Hartes" lads?
