I cringe when it's played at Lansdowne immediately before the start of a match.

Always at a loss as to why its played, would rather something be played that has some meaning and connection.

Linda Martin "Why me" - now theres a song.

ok -- just spoke to the German football federation. The lady told me there is an organizational committee responsible for the music in the stadium. They have "Is this the way to Amarillo" and she said she will suggest it to them to play on sept 2nd. They wont play any Irish ones but because this is a "neutral song" they may play it......... !
figures no harm in askin!!

It's my favourite song when sang by the whole crowd but it'd never catch on. Liverpool fans have been singing it years yet they're still poor at it without the music in the background (half the crowd stops after the first "and you'll never walk alone").

You'd be suprised at how many teams sing it. A good few German teams do. Here's the AC Milan version:

Celtic fans can't be beaten though

Sha la la lala lalala IRELAND
Sha la la lala lalala IRELAND
Sha la la lala lalala KEANO - SCORE A GOAL

Is this the way to Austria
every night Duffer's been hugging his pillow
dreaming dreams of Austria and sweet Marie who waits for me
show me the way to Austria
I've been weeping like a willow
crying over Austria
and sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la lala lalala Sha la la lala lalala
Sha la la lala lalala and Marie who waits for me

Which will actually be sung louder and more emotionally?

As I say forget club loyalties, its a very easy song and known by all, look at the way all the posters on the EL threads are fully behind the drogs and derry! lets all get behind the boys in green and sing whatever songs will get the best response and if that includes "always look on the bright side of life" so be it

Should be plenty of songs belted out from all the suggestions on here....I myself have a penchant for the classics,

Wolfe Tones - On the One Road, memories of post-dutch game in south terrace
All you need is Duff - beatles cover
And em....a little help please!

**Sligo Hornet** · 17/08/2006, 8:11 AM

Only one truly relevant song can now be sung....."We're not very good, We're not very good......etc".....

**keenanboy** · 20/08/2006, 9:26 PM

maybe we should all bring a white hanky just like the barca fans wave if the team play muck

couldn't agree more, didn't like that one at all. Could never understand why 'The One Road' doesn't get more of a blast at away games, inside the ground anyway. It's easy enough to follow, not too 'Oirish' and a bit of resonance for away games, being on the road and all that. We definitely need a 'fields of Athenry' alternative to have at the ready................

To the tune of Day Dream Believer!!! (Well i think thats the name)

Cheer up Jurgen Klinnsman!
Oh what can it mean
Too see all us irish Wearingggg Gree eee ee een!!

Cheer up Jurgen Klinnsman!!
Oh what can it mean
When all us irish logged onto eventimeemmm
we got all your tickets!! oh what can that mean!!
to an ex spurs diver with a ****e! football team eeem!!

Or something like that!!!
I'll get me coat!!!!!

**Collyontour** · 25/08/2006, 1:06 PM

Lads, a good rendition of the anthem at the start would be good.

Sinne Fianna Fáil
A tá fé gheall ag Éirinn,
buion dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tír ár sinsir feasta
Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fé'n tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann

The Celtic fans sing the original (as Béarla) during away matches as well:

Soldiers are we
whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come
from a land beyond the wave (God bless them).
Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.

I know!! just could'nt get any other thing to go with tune!!!

**Forever Dreamin** · 25/08/2006, 3:14 PM

From thepeoplesflag.com - what does anyone think?

Can someone please put this on foot.ie. Please forward this to all related sites for the Irish fans going to Stuttgart. I think you’ll find it’s both annoying and catchy like all good chants. (To the tune of "Is this the way to Amarillo") Is this the way to San Marino, Tell me Chippy, Gilesy or Billo Dreaming dreams of Duff and Keano, And Sir Bobby who waits for me..............etc etc. The new anthem for our Euro campaign.

Just edited a bit to make it look right.

I think the Amarillo song is good for football as everyone knows it. Just need to get decent lyrics for it. Those lyrics go well but there's not much meaning to them.
