Ole ole or mexican waves should never be sang/happen at ireland games.Originally Posted by Dublin12
Hi
First post,good site I like it,have been looking for a few weeks.
Anyway,was anyone else p1ssed off last night when the wave started,we were 1-0 up and finding it hard to break them down and then the ole's started followed by a mexican wave,we were hardly cruising to a comfortable victory at that stage
We are Shamrock Rovers, were Irelands No.1
who was ringing that bell in the crowd by the way ??.
He's this dude 12th that in the south terrace, he's got a tash and wear's a beret, look's p**sed all the time, he turned up late on wednesday night and announced his arrival by ringing that fceking bell.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
Once question-why?

Why-not?
Its disgraceful to hear/see all the ireland fans doing it, there not irish songs and they are of no significance to ireland.
Or should i write it as Ingerland fans. There all just plastic paddys. Go to 3 games a year and think there the best fans in the world. Every other week of the year they do be sitting in their 'armchairs' or 'barstools' watching their beloved maure etc..

The Mexican wave has to be the most girly or faggy form of behavior at a soccer game - honestly can you do it without feling a pure twit?
We need a real anthem - when the Scots sing Flower of Scotland it gives me goose bumps - I suppose the the Fields is the best we have. Why not have Christy Moore & U2 blasted over the tannoy?

dodgy ground there pal, i take exception to that. you are making assumptions which you cant back up.
why should the number of games that someone goes to decide their support for their team / country?? id love to make evey game home and away, but most people have commitments such as work, and money to be mindful of. If you make evey game home and away fair fu*ks to you but dont judge eveyone else by your own high standards.
Im happy to watch ireland play regardless of the opposition, some of the 3 games a year crowd you refer to are taking up the slack of the people who only attend so called glamour ties and qualifyers.
sure the ole ole's and the mexican waves would still be going without the inclusion of ''plastics'' in the crowd.
I personaly havent seen any ingurland fans in the crowd at lansdowne, although i have heard some ''non plastics''ask if anyone knew the ingurland score at one game and when the highlights were on tv... prehaps you should focus your attentions to them first.

My my,there was i thinking this thread was going nowhere when along comes such a staggeringly enlightened, socially acceptable, incisive & well balanced comment.
Jesus Christ Almighty..... What year is this?
I'm 100% with Jon'O here-having said before I've only seen Ireland once but I've still been to every game I've had the oppurtunity to go to!
Work, age, kids, location, relatives, health-these are all factors and evryone should be made to feel welcome at Lansdowne not just 100% pure Irish, born in Ireland, EL fans who attend every single Ireland game and every single game of their EL club!!
As for 'Plastics' what's your complaint if we're turning up to support Ireland! I hang the tri out ma window for every Ireland game despite all the crap from the locals!
As for Mexican waves being 'girly or faggy' LadyJane summed that one up for us! One of ma biggest achievments to date involves starting a Mexican wave-4 of us getting a crowd of 5000 going

Maybe you should have used the word Metrosexual that might keep the PC faggots happy
Whoo, hoo... two plastic bashers on at once, my day is made complete. What the hell does this post mean, do you think that the atmosphere would improve if you removed all plastics from the stadium, I've sat in the blocks with the London RISCC and they happen to be some of the more vocal. You would do well to remember that three games a season for people living in Ingerland involves at least two days off work and money for travel, hotels and drink. In effect every home game is an away match.
Also I can't stand manure.
I actually tend to agree that Ole, Ole and the Mexican wave can be annoying and not really conected with Ireland however until we have something to take their place... at least it produces some form of atmosphere. So don't just whinge about it do something, if you do already fair play to you.
Finally can you please set me a quota of games to go to before I can judge myself to be a fan.

He's talking about Ireland 'fans' whose usual experience of a football match is watching ManU on the telly down the pub wearing their ManU jersey. He didn't say anything about Irish people living in England.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.

Just took the reference; 'or should I write it as Ingerland fans. Their all just Plastic paddies'
No offence meant if I've taken this the wrong way, I've a bit of a hair trigger on this subject.

Did you ever sing this before in your entire footballing supporting life - 'Ole ole ole ole, ole... We're all part of jackies army, we're all off to Italy, and we'll really shake them up when we win the world cup, cos Ireland have the greatest football team'
Remember that ? ? ? 1990, if 'ole ole ole' has no significance to Irish soccer, what planet were you on during our first trip to the world cup? IMO it is one of the memories of Irelands trip to italia 90 that will stay in our minds forever!! Honestly, I'll take your answer as gospel, did you or did you not sing along to that?? If you were in a club and the DJ dropped it, would you sit it out with a pout on your face because 'there not irish songs and they are of no significance to ireland'
That miserable gut-wrencher of a 'song' The Fields of Athenry has no direct affinity to Scotland either, yet it doesn't stop all of those irritating, tedious smarmy Celtic fans singing it....
Actually the so called mexican wave was not started by mexican fans at all, it wax started by american college football fans
I was under the impression it was started by Brazilian fans in the 1970 World cup in Mexico
Well a college coach in the states told me this but of course I'm open to correction, I guess we can agree though that it was not the mexicans
Don't know who exactly started the wave but I know for definate that it DID start because some muppit spilled a hot cup of coffee(Nescafe I think)on some other fans lap and the poor fella jumped off his seat with his hands in the air and the rest of the stadium followed him.Well a college coach in the states told me this but of course I'm open to correction, I guess we can agree though that it was not the mexicans
Chamon Mothafcuka......he heeee.
I have an extreme aversion to joining in the mexican wave and I'm not too keen on the Ole Ole song, but if everyone else does them I'm quite happy as sitting in a ground with a sh#te atmosphere is pretty dull.
I won't do it and I'm what some of you people would call a Plastic Paddy, but it takes all sorts to fill a stadium hey ?!
I know plenty of 'Irish' fans who have never been to a f#cking game in their life and they only live up the road from Lansdowne. Good on the boys who travel miles and spend good money on just getting to a home game.
