Bodhrán.
Yes.
While we are on the issue I think a new song could be required as we haven't made up a new one in a while I think. Any suggestions for ideas from anyone?
The best I have is;
There's only one Gary Dicker and so on/repeat.
We can't throw you off the bus for that one at this stage, but we can do other unpleasant things. I'm thinking you might have to watch the Limerick game upside down.Quote:

To Belfield. To see the College.
Take me home Strokestown Road.
Bits in bold would have to be changed.
I've an idea. Lets not use either of those songs ever.
Why not?Quote:

As for the request from dman for anything better might I remind you young fellow that I composed the classic 'Did you get your junior cert?'
We really need to get a drum to add to the bodhrán. Does the supporters club have any funds for this? I reckon I'll pay around half the amount anyway.
We probably don't right now.
Please, no drum. A bodhran is where I draw the line. It makes a bit of noise and adds rythm. A drum is annoyingly piercing, drowns out small crowds like ours and smacks of desperation to be heard. I'm all for making noise but I think a drum is ridiculous in proportion to most crowds at eL games.
Have to admit, I tend that way too.Quote:

Then the solution would be not to use the drum in every chant!
Can I just jump in here to lock the thread for no real reason and talk about lawnmowers?
I think the bodhrán does the job being talked about really. Gives a bit of rhythm without taking over. Also is louder than clapping and so gets people's attention.
I think they're crap for that anyway. What can it do that a bodhran can't except make a louder, more piercing and annoying noise? If you can't be heard with the bodhran and singing then all anyone will hearing is a drum randomly banging. It's more bodies we need singing. A couple of bodhrans would actually be better than those drums. They're very fecking annoying.Quote:

True. On that note, the Cork game was good for that, even without most of the regulars missing. Must get e-mails of those who were there and get them signed up to the e-mail newsletter. Must also finish the next newsletter too...Quote:

I'm pretty sure the 3 lads behind you were Ronan Finn's mates. The people that were signing infront of you always went on Friday nights before. There was supposed to be more but they didn't show up. I'd be fairly confident that a good few would go to Drogheda.Quote:

Must announce Drogheda over the PA.
Make sure this is working tomorrow and definitely get the bus to Drogheda announced over the PA.
We're blue,
We're white,
We're fúcking dynamite,
UCD, UCD.
Remember kids that fúcking dynamite can lead to genital explosion. It should only be attempted under the supervision of trained professionals.Quote:
