Quotewell its better that congratulations from cliff, what $hite.
house of pain - jump around
or
blur - song 2
Its plain to say - Everyone hates Hey Baby
I'm sure we can get this changed by the time the Croatia game comes around but what do you want it replaced by. Suggestions please.
I'd go with the rift from Dearg Doom from Horslips that they used on The Italia 90 song.
Anyone?
Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?

Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
"Jump around". Rock!
"Fiesta" by the Pogues maybe?
Although I LOVE Paul Cleary & The Blades, playing "last man in Europe" or "Ghost of a chance" always put the sh!ts up me in the warm ups....too ominous.... and as for watching David Connolly forlornly battering balls over an empty net at a half time run out to the strains of "Ordinary Man"...the less said the better.
I'm indifferent towards the church of Bono, but the standout Music/Landsdowne crossover moment for me was "Elevation" at The Dutch game. The old crappy stadium was just vibrating.
On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"
And they nearly did.
Do we even need a cheesy tune ? ? ? The roar of the crowd, inevitably followed by a chorus of 'Come on you boys...' 'Ireland, Ireland ....' or whatever. I feel that a natural reaction from the crowd beats any tune that the FAI come up with, because of the passion and emotions involved. I think that blasting cheesy pop ruins this natural reaction of the crowd to a goal.
Well I think theyre gonna play one anyway so might as well be something everyone is in agreement with rather than a cringeathonOriginally Posted by Colm55

I'd go with that ... its easily as catchy as that White Stripes riff they play after goals in some stadiums.
The most embarassing moment for me was at the Pats Shels game about 3 years ago at Richmond .. I think it ended up 4-3 to pats.. and they played "Who let the dogs out" after each Pats goal... I had managed to persuade a few spanish and italian work colleagues to attend the game with me. They're still slagging me over it
We don't need any of this crap music. Certainly not just before the game and certainly not when we score - all it does is discourage the crowd noise. We especially don't need that "Hey Baby" rubbish - unless we're styling ouselves on an English provincial team circa 2001 (Preston to be precise).
Together with all our hearts.
Too right. Who in their right mind would go to a Pats match when there was chess on down the Oblates on the same night???I'd go with that ... its easily as catchy as that White Stripes riff they play after goals in some stadiums.

Are you mad man?
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Agreed - but if they feel they have to play something, the riff from dearg doom is at least a better suggestion. There's nothing Irish about 'Hey Baby'
i cant believe that anyone could possibly think that playing a pop-tune, or any tune, after a goal is scored can help create atmosphere. how does it help??... the one time that you certainly dont need false atmosphere is after a goal is scored as everyone is cheering anyway. it is just not befitting an international football occasion. all it actually achieves is to dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd.
i thought it couldnt get any worse than "hey baby" until proved wrong last night when they played "Congratulations" after Keane got his first......... what will it be next??.... "happy birthday" when its the player who scored's birthday??? "here comes the bride" when a player just got married??!!
if they wanna play anything where all can recognise then play something from pogues or u2
"Put your hands up in the air/Put your hands up in the air"
A couple of things...
1. What's all that about? Why would they need to tell us to "put our hands up in the air" after a goal? They'll all be up anyway and besides, it's none of their f'ing business what I do with my hands!!
2. I don't remember that bit even being part of that song (although it's a few years old now - another reason to ditch it - so I could be wrong). Is this some Landsdowne Road-remix special where they stick bits of various cheesy crap old songs together for the purposes of maximum annoyance?
It's going so long that you don't really notice it but, seriously,
"Hey Baby. Oooh ah. I want to know if you'll be my girl"Who is this supposed to be aimed at? Robbie?
This has gone too far. Someone asked on another thread who they'd have to kill to get it stopped. Well you could always do humanity a favour by doing away with DJ Otzi and Sir Cliff but it still wouldn't stop them playing stupid bits of songs after a goal. We need to bombard Fran the Man with FEEDBACK until this abomination has been laid to rest.
is this problem not caused by the fai getting some shower of cnuts who do this nonsense at the british glaswegians who wear green clubs matches to "event manage" the atmosphere at LR.
Well I think they've failed miserably and that should be communicated to the fai and if they wont listen, maybe maybe just maybe we should start booing when this muck comes on.
" 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?"

Or we could throw things at the dignitaries...
Full agreement, but the only problem with the Booing idea is that "HEY F*CKING BABY" is only played when we score. Not a good time for the fans to be caught booing on camera, n'est ce pas?

au contraire -the fact that Irish supporters start booing right after Ireland score will raise eyebrows and have the likes of Eircom saying " well really -showing contempt for your own -this isn't the type of behaviour we want to be associated with"
I think I'll set up a website to popularise this ....
Maybe I'll call it ok2boo -no wait that sounds like the type of nokia speak some redneck muppet hick fcuk might use
" 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?"
Got it!
Spread a rumour that D.J. Otzi plays for Rangers. Deafening Boos for hours on end!

yeah there was a rumour last night at the match that one of the oppision players watched a rangers game once, what a c*nt
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
Agreed...Hey baybe is so last year..I reckon they should have nothin...the crowd should be makin the noise when ireland score....If there had to be something the riff from dearg doon a good bet. Congratulations made my toes curl but hey he has got that weight off his back even though he did have a bad game
just sent in my feedback requesting the removal dj otzi and his ilk.
resisted the temptation to diss the pa annoucner as well. one thing at a time wha?
No DK give that clown both barrells as well, he does my head in.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
