Saw the rendition last night and I recall struggling to slow to her pace at the Sweden game. I think whoever's been arranging her solo vocal performances without music must be going for the style of a sustained and spine-tingling emotive lament or something, but it really doesn't work in terms of rousing a crowd for a football match, especially when delivered at such a sluggish pace. It's an atmosphere-killer. I suppose we should be happy it was at least ever so slightly quicker than the rendition of the anthem the band played before our opening game against Italy at USA '94...Originally Posted by back of the net

It sickens me to the pit of my guts it does. That it should happen at all is conceptually wrong IMO -but that's just a bad call, an error of judgement -whether it's Placido Domingo, John McCormack, Monserrat Caballe or whoever.
But the fact that it's a TV3 Exposé/Sunday World celebrity devoid of the slightest hint of meritocracy robbing the supporters and the team of their anthem in the name of a pimping her profile absolutely disgusts me. It's just Ireland in a feckin nutshell.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
It would be different if they got the actual Lionel Ritchie to sing it!
Even with a my trademark mouthful of cotton wool I'd make a better job of it too.

Try being at a rugby game where the same DJ (PA man) in a break in play broadcasts "Bom, bom, bom bom bom....) and the kids shout "Ireland". Cringe making stuff but perhaps it's just an age thing.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
the same DJ does leinster and Ireland rugby but not the football. I think he is on today fm (bob conway?). declan king who does the football used to also do the Ireland and Leinster gigs but was moved aside. both of them are brutal.
i didnt miss a home rugby international for over 20 years but have no interest in going since they introduced all the atmosphere gimmicks.
Maybe we should all write to the FAI and IRFU and let them know we think it's sh1t

What's a thear and why is this man so adamant singsong shouldn't have one?
Isn't it a play on words? as in not here to hear the sing song? Or am I giving too much credit?

Apparently Yeovil also dominated Latvia.
