Oh and here

You would have a salient point - however - 95% of the Liverpool fans (or indeed any British/European side) in those two videos will also be found in the stadium of their local Norwegian Professional side on a Sunday/Monday evening watching their local team play.
Meh, I was in a bar in Letterkenny when Liverpool came back from 3 down and almost the entire place was up singing "You'll never walk alone".
In fairness it's a proper feckin anthem though, in comparison we have in LOI, Bohs fans singing a Johnny Logan Song and Rovers sing "why do you build me up, buttercup" although it's a classic :D
No problem with anyone supporting a foreign club, it's the one's who "support" them and couldn't even be dragged to a LOI game, that I aint fond of ;)
To be fair Sam, Buttercup is not classed as a Rovers 'Anthem'. It's just a song we sing.Quote:

I feel the same.
...or manufacturing rivalries, eg. Liverpool fans living in Derry who just really hate Everton. :rolleyes:Quote:

A proper football chant.
Proof to everyone, that Sligoman has the voice of an angel.Quote:

i think its more an occasion culture in this country compare attendances in the GAA from league to championship and the magners league to heineken cup in the rugby.
I feel its a continuing trend of following British clubs only even when living in Ireland. However I must say that in Sligo anyways, every game you always see plenty of young people out which is very good to see in the LoI, some may have a man united tracksuit top or Liverpool jersey on them but so long as their following their local club too I don't mind. Its even more promising for years to come as they could bring their kids about 10/15/20 years down the line along with them which just increases numbers further.
This always makes me laugh...

There was a small movement to get Bray to start singing the Piano Man a few months back. I'm gutted it didn't get off the ground! Top tune for a crowd to sing!
