Let’s claim the French National Anthem like we did in Paris…make it our own, if you know what I mean! Would be great if the Irish players sang along too. Having said that, it would be great if the Irish players sang OUR anthem!

Does anyone have access to one or both anthems written phonetically?
To be fair, most of the players do make an effort to sing the anthem. Kilbane has learnt it in Irish and belts it out. There are a few who don't but I think that's probably more down to the language barrier - its not an easy language if you're brought up in Birmingham or Glasgow.Quote:

It should not be done again. It has to be spontaneous. Diff circumstances for an away match, as well.
Lets just make as much noise for our own lads as possible. :ball:
I learnt the French anthem at school. Still know the words :o It's my party piece.
Could never understand why the English born players never learnt our anthem in English and they could have sung along then. Too much to learn the Irish version.
Certainly won't sing the French anthem at our HOME game let alone our players :confused: We need to concentrate on our own and raise the roof!!
Singing the French anthem in Paris was hilarious. Henrys face on the giant screen laughing while all these green shirts were going nuts behind him was hysterical.
Why dont they print out the phonetic version on a songsheet for the fans. Not everyone speaks the language or can read it.
no way should our players or fans sing the oppositions anthem!!Quote:

I dont remember seeing henry on the big screen, having said that i dont remember much from that weekend nevermind the game :embarassed:
Id say people being fairly ****ed could end up singing it.
The thing is we didnt actually "sing" their anthem we just hummed along. Fair play the french took it in good spirits!
How embarrassing would that be?Quote:

Would just be stupid and pointless singing theirs in Croker !!
As stupid and pointless as it was singing it in Lansdowne?Quote:

Father Ted: That song Dougal. The one that Jack always stands up to.
Father Dougal: Oh that song.

Father Jack: Up! Get feckin' up! Get up the feckin' lot of yez.
No way... If you dont know it in Irish dont sing it!!!Quote:

I hope we belt out our anthem so loud it makes us deaf
I will respect the French national anthem think its excellent one but no way will I sing it. I will respect it and clap after its finished but by god by that stage my lungs will be ready to belt out Amhrán na bhFiann
For those English born it would have been better to learn it in English first, then you know what the Irish version actually means.Quote:

Pretty pointless just bellowing a load of phonetically learnt sounds if you don't know what you are actually singing....:o
And you wonder why it's difficult to learn for non Irish speakers or non Irish familiar....!!Quote:

Just to be clear - They are just 2 versions that have been passed on to me. I have no idea of the source.Quote:

How about everone putting their arms round the shoulder of the person on either side of them when singing the anthem, our crowd did this in Japan and it was great, it actually pumps up the adrenellan even more. It would be a fantastic show of comradrie and encourage those a bit shy to sing even louder. Bit like a fans huddle before the match if you kow what I mean
from what i hear we will be holding up 70,000 green cardsQuote:

Hard to get the crowd going when we've got random pop music being blared out over the tannoy... mind you, it shouldn't be too hard on Saturday! :D
dingbat, thats my password!
Nope, but me dad is.Quote:

So once you bawl out whatever sounds even vaguely similar that will do just fine. Even if it is in a Scouser accent.
Will you be there BTW??
