Call To Arms

Lets not get into an argument about the team, the manager, the FAI etc.

This is our football team, the fans. Nobody else matters in comparison to how we feel about the football team and the joy that comes from seeing them win.

Lets get behind the team on Wednesday night. Make it a night to remember. Croke Park, under lights, midweek. This should be a special night, but circumstances out of our control(for now) are turning it into a chore to go to the game.

Get your singing voices out. Get your Flags and Banners out. Get them behind the Canal goal. Lets make the Canal end intimidating to the opposition. Lets make it inspiring to our boys.

Lets enjoy the night and stop moaning. If a player misplaces a pass, sing louder, don't get on his back.

Come on you boys in Green. This is our football team. Nobody elses.

I'm with that.

Put those banners and flags out to be seen. To fu&k with stewards and sponsors. Nothing better than seeing a see of tricolours at an Irish match.

Agree 100%. Fook the moaners and begrudgers and support the team. The players on the pitch last Saturday looked like they were giving it their all to me. It's not there fault Delaney appointed an inexperienced manager

100% - Players will respond to a crowd. And no doubt that they need us now.

Enough with the moaning - sadly this site, lansdowne and croke park is all too full of it. Myself included.

If you are there to support your country, support em. Leave the moaning until after 90 minutes. I remember not too long ago the crowd got a 9/10 for the czech game. Saturday would have been a 4. Lets make it a 10 tomorrow.

Ole Oles , Barstoolers, Eircoms and Premiership boys and girls welcome. Tri colours with Chelsea on em, GAA boggers, stand up or sit down, Mexican waves. Bring it on!

No regrets!

Maybe less of the Ole Ole's, and mexican wave???

By the way, every seat had a flag on saturday and nobody, well only a few bothered to wave them, so think it will be hard to get people to do it tomorrow.

What I think is powerful is Celtic/liverpool scarfs/flags aloft over the head behind the goal while singing Never Walk Alone or the Fields of Athenry. Really simple and a strong show of unity when everyone gets involved.

Im sure we did it in a play off against holland in anfield for Charltons last game too. Lump in throat, chills up the spine stuff.

portugal do the scarf thing during their national anthem and is really impressive.

what gets me is that there is a general perception out there (self proclaimed really) that we are the best fans in the world. would probably apply to our away fans ok but when you compare the usual home atmosphere with that of celtic, liverpool, turkish and greek clubs etc its generally like a sunday junior league match atmosphere in comparison with the odd exception

Well said. I agree 100%. There comes a point in time when you get sick with all the negativity of something. I think we're at that point. Never mind Staunton, we've got 11 players to give support to tomorrow night. Hopefully it will be a special one!
