Quoteyou are inviting "witty" variations on the song from posters from other clubs, mainly Rovers, Galway and possibly Cobh. "Witty" of the "stab city" variety.
I was on the Schalke website and came across their club song:
Blue and White
Blue and white, how I love you
Blue and white, forever true
Blue and white is just like heaven born
Blue and white are the colours we have always worn
If we had a kingdom for us to make
It would resemble Schalke and no mistake
All the girls, oh so young and fair
Would sport a blue and white ribbon tied up in her hair
Mohammed was a prophet who
Knew nothing of football, that much is true
But of all the colours shining bright
The ones he thought up were our royal blue and white
A thousand fires in the night
Have brought us lots of pleasure and delight
A thousand friends all standing side by side
Will make sure FC Schalke will never die
I am not sure it will catch on in the Jacks - the reference to Mohammed is weird and probably will be a problem for our very right wing supporters. But we could change Mohammed to Ger Finnin easiy enough (I mean lyrically not literally). Its true about the women too.

I think they all sing the German version - but they kindly put an English translation on the website as well. Cork City should think of putting an English translation of their chants on their site too.

But Ger Finnin (glad we're all spelling it correctly nowBut we could change Mohammed to Ger Finnin easiy enough (I mean lyrically not literally). Its true about the women too.) is not a prophet and did not choose our blue and white colours
What's with the Mohammed reference, have Schalke a muslim heritage?
I note that you didn't correct the bit about not knowing anything about football.But Ger Finnin (glad we're all spelling it correctly now
Dunno about the Mohammed reference - thought it was weird myself.

Not certain but I think they're one of the more leftie clubs in Germany and kind of revel in it a small bit.

Has anyone from a Schalke supporters group been on to us begging for a twinning yet??
No you're not!!
