Blimey.........that's a first!

They would make a lovely couple don't you think.

[Green Tribe]

Are you saying the engagement is off Neil??
I think the bounce thing is worth trying. Likeminded people together it will catch on

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

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.

Yep, though I think there's now room for the football fans to claim the "alive alive-oh" bit as their own. Super song and totally synonimous with Ireland (just like The Fields) and shows we don't have to rely on copying English songs.

For me all we need is:

Molly Malone
The Fields
Come on You Boys in Green
Stand Up For The Boys in Green
Ireland Ireland...

Sit Down If You Hate The Wave (in response to the habitual & moronic wave in every fcuking game. Just shows in my opinion who have come to see Ireland play and experience the nerves & tension that it brings and which muppets haven't a clue what it's all about).

I personally think player specific chants are a bit cliquey and are a bit of an "in joke" among a few rather than something the whole ground can pick up on in a short time. It's not like club football where the songs evolve from watching players week in week out and everone picks up on it. I think "All You Need is Duff" could work though. Even the Mexican wave morons could pick up on that one.

but that would be so mortifying i mean chanting at a football match? thats only for the tv.

Easy cop-out Neil
AidoM have you no flag-folding to be doing?
Not far to the game, any update from FAI as to what they have agreed is being played as players come out??

[Crosby87]

Out of curiosity, whats up with the "you'll never walk alone" song? Just curious, do you guys ever sing that? Seems like it "belongs" to a lot of teams.

Dundee Utd fans used to sing "weve only got one shoe" whilst waving one shoe in the air. Quite funny but never really understood (nor could be bothered looking it up) why they did it? Arabs...Sand..sand in shoe?....fcuk knows....

Might have something to do with an arab way of insulting somebody ??? eg George W Bush and shoe incident at a press conference

[Saint Tom]

agreed on Molly - a song synonomous with Ireland and the chorus has to be kept in. Would be absolutely rousing.

This is the best thing I've heard of in years. We could make this synonymous with our matches if it took off. It's hilarious & would look great if there were 1500 of us doing this. Deffo gonna try get this started. Good one Damo.

Would I be allowed in wearing "Trainers"?

[Newryrep]

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

Just want to be careful if we're playing Iraq.
