Any budding Paul McCartneys out there? After the fantastic trip to Slovakia and Czech republic (bar the results and results in the bar) we do need some new tunes for the terrace. While stand up for the boys in greeen and come you boys in green etc do create terrific atmosphere, a song about the players themselves would make us sound like a more organised fan base. So all you budding songwriters get busy!
dont rubbish this, as its only a jike but..
"theres on-ly one stephen hunt, theres on-ly one stephen hunt, another kick in the head, and you'll have cech dead, walking in huntys wonderland"
We weretrying to sing HE's got cech's head on his knee to the tune of whole wold in his hands on Wed but didn't take off. Some support for Hunt though as the Czechs gave him hell.

Dont want to come across as insensitive tothe Stephen Ireland situaion, but I seem to remember a song from top of the pops back in the early 80's:
'grandma i love you
grandma i do,
even though you're far away,
i'll be home soon.....
Good man razorb.....although having heard you sing over the course of the last week maybe its a fans choir we need instead of new songs :D:eek:Quote:

...a quality homage to Richie and was beginning to take off over in Czech.
For a main song though we do need a new one. At the moment the mainstream songs that the everyone sings are only about 4 (Stand Up For The Boys in Green', 'C'mon You Boys in Green', 'The Fields of Athenry' and 'Ireland,Ireland etc ' chant. A new one needs to be simple and probably have 'Ireland' or 'Boys in Green' in it. Stand up for the Boys in Green has only become widespread in the last 3/4 years or so, I think it only really took off after Paris '04, so it is possible to get a new one going in modern times.
"Stand up for the boys in green" is particularly naff by the way.
Especially after being sung for the umpteenth time in a bar either before or after the match.
I'd quite like to drink my pint without having to stand up and sit down repeatedly....
What about a new old favourite, "On The One Road". It'll never get to the end of the first verse mind...
Lets face it lads
Have we forgot the the newish song after the Wales game
der der derrr der derr Kevin Doyle der der derr der derr Kevin Doyle :)

They're all our number one's
Stephen Ireland can scoore some goals
while lee carsley kicks you in the balls
Andy reid will add some flair
while stephen hunt has long hair
You've walked in to our burning ring of fire
we'll never say that our team is dire
Cos you'll burn, burn, burn, in our ring of fire, in our ring of fire!
will you give me 3 out of 10 for effort?
The best song from the trip has to be ;
"One Hare Krishna, there's only one Hare Krishna"
We should really adopt this.
Just to see the looks on peoples faces, if nothing else.
