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:

BTW, nice quote.:D
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.
