Shame so many turned their backs on the 6 counties after the treaty was signed and this filtered right through generations that are now content that a fifth of the island is still under british rule, sing patriot tunes if you mean them.
I don't give a rats arse if it amuses you to sing anti-british songs on your own time, but I would question if it's relevant to a bunch of mixed Irish and British citizens taking part in a World Cup qualifier versus Georgia.Originally Posted by antrimgreen

''Anti-British songs''?
Like what are we talking about here, over the top cries of killing civilians or just folk songs and the like?
Its a football match. If it isn't of some motivational or comedic relevance to the teams on the park, it had better be a damn good song.
Good example: You'll Never Walk Alone (Gerry & The Pacemakers, thank you Liverpool's Kop)
Bad Example: Hold Me Now (Johnny Logan, thank you Bohs fans)
What's a folk song?

You don't mind the fields of athenry though surely?
BTW, nice quote.
there is a relevance for Bohs fans singing Logan songs, we've both been quite successful away in europe
Pretty much anything by Christy Moore
No, very good song musically. Prefer the Bishopstown version though!
I wouldnt exactly class it as a republican song though. Its focused on a relationship, the tears of seperation and oncoming hardship, with the famine as a setting rather than a topic. Even with its brief mention of the British, "stealing Trevelyn's corn" refers to the poverty of Irish people, their resulting impatience in breaking into storage in Cork to steal the maize imported by Charles Trevelyn , and the ensuing failure to realise that the maize seeds were almost inedible, its purpose being for planting rather than milling.
Obviously not relevant to a few overpaid premiership stars but as I said, sometimes quality breaks the mold!

Gavinzac, I dont give a rats arse if theres one or two like you at Ireland games. I'll be singing, the fields, we're on the one road, molly malone, sean south and go on home british soldiers and I guarantee you nearly everybody else will be joining in. You'll probably be hiding under a table somewhere from the big bad nationalists
Funnily enough, nearly everyone sits in silence and cringes at people "like you".

Sadly I think there'll be very little singing on Saturday. Perhaps it's just the area of the stadium that I'm in, but at Croke Park Geysir is correct in saying that everyone will be sitting in silence and cringing. No doubt if we go behind there'll be a few boos, but when myself and the person I sit with try to start up songs we're generally the only ones in our section to do so, and we do get a few odd looks.
Most of the people that are in this section clearly have no idea what it means to be at a football game, and I think our "fan's" apathy is summed up well by the fact that everyone wants a ticket for a game against Brazil managed by a know-nothing caretaker manager, but when one of the most highly decorated managers in the game arrives in town for his first game there seems to be a distinct lack of interest for this game. No doubt if we're successful during the campaign then these people will come in their hordes looking for tickets.
I can't wait for us to get back to Lansdowne where hopefully these people will be unable to get tickets once again and we'll get the old atmosphere back.
My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.
