Do ye think the FAI might print songs on a seat or something or lyrics for those who wouldn't know them all?

Agreed, could the ybig lads persuade the FAI to post the lyrics of a few chosen songs on the big tv screens like National Anthem is????

green one that would be a good idea, but how do they know what we are singing our when we sing which?!

ya it is, so is ride on ronnie, didnt realise ye like them. I mentioned them before on here.

wont we need someone with a bit of guts to orchestrate things. i berlin they had a guy on the track with one of those speaker thingys,

One I feel could work is the one the Scots sing

We’ll be coming, we’ll be coming
we’ll be coming Lansdowne Road
When you hear the noise of the mighty Irish boys
We’ll be coming Lansdowne Road

There will be pages decocated to the SS in YBIG which will be av available on all the seats in the SS against Georgia so keep the ideas coming

Molly Malone was an old favourite of mine but clap your hands and chant Ireland instead of the chorus.

In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
through streets broad and narrow crying

clap clap clap
Ireland
clap clap clap
Ireland

Back in th e70's and 80's the football fans used to sing as above and the rugby crowd sang the chorus. then the rugby crowd got all the tickets in the early 90's and it changed.

We really should bring that one back.

First saw them in England at Bloodstock in Derby back in 03 and twice since in Dublin.

Dont agree. Leave that one to the scots...we have enough irish songs to works with...
If we are to take other songs in, then get good ones like this

Now we're talking ..in fairness i recall old molly sang the way it should up to '96ish.

think it deserves an airing

shipping out to boston by dropkick murphys MUST be the song when the players come out.

well on the one road will do i guess

Do ye think the FAI might print songs on a seat or something or lyrics for those who wouldn't know them all? Personally Id be grand with on the one road, fields, but only the chorus of Oro sé do bheatha abhaile.

Are you thinking people in the entire stadium or just us in the singing section? I'm sure most of us in the singing section would be on the internet forums anyway so should know the words to the songs. I really can't see the rest of the stadium joining in with any new songs anyway so I just say the more songs we have the better.

I can't remember who it was that put the Robbie Keane song together but I absolutely love it. It would be some craic hearing thousands sing that one. All the words fit perfectly with that tune. It's more of a pre-match tune though so would be good to sing that while the players are warming up. Not gonna happen though.

I like the idea of 'bounce, for the boys in green'

looks really ****ing intimidating when you see stands of people bouncing up and down, way more so than if they are all just standing there

now, lets hope they didn't get the micks to build the stadium, or the whole thing will come crumbling done if we have 70,000 bouncing up and down

he scored against the germans, robbie keane, robbie keane

Yeshe Montenegrans were class when they did it. Italian fans do it well too.

Instead of "stand up for the boys in green"

"Bounce bounce for the boys in green"

It would be great if it worked and im sure everyone would know the words of that one.

Don't worry about the rest of the stadium for the first game. If they don't want to join in so be it. I'm just focussing on creating an atmosphere amongst our 2,000 or so and showing the rest up.

To the Tune of Joy Division's "Love will tear us apart"

"Duff , Duff will tear you apart , again"
