Just to be clear - They are just 2 versions that have been passed on to me. I have no idea of the source.Originally Posted by Desyf
And you wonder why it's difficult to learn for non Irish speakers or non Irish familiar....!!
They are totally different phonetically in places !!!
Completely different !!
I suppose the thing is - there is no right or wrong way to write down how you think words sound - making it as easy as possible for non native tongues to pick up.
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

How about everone putting their arms round the shoulder of the person on either side of them when singing the anthem, our crowd did this in Japan and it was great, it actually pumps up the adrenellan even more. It would be a fantastic show of comradrie and encourage those a bit shy to sing even louder. Bit like a fans huddle before the match if you kow what I mean

Nothing like hearing the anthem getting belted out; it really makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck! A bit less of the rampaging music before the match would be great. Hard to get the crowd going when we've got random pop music being blared out over the tannoy... mind you, it shouldn't be too hard on Saturday!

For those English born it would have been better to learn it in English first, then you know what the Irish version actually means.
Then learn and sing the Irish version.
Pretty pointless just bellowing a load of phonetically learnt sounds if you don't know what you are actually singing....
All's ye need to know is the gist, basically "we are going to fight the Sasanach swine to the death"
So once you bawl out whatever sounds even vaguely similar that will do just fine. Even if it is in a Scouser accent.
Will you be there BTW??
Why am I not surprised?
Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
Yep.
And I already know the words.
Jaysus you must be a fcekin scream to be around thenI learnt the French anthem at school. Still know the wordsIt's my party piece.
