They were FAI flags/banners not Ireland ones.Originally Posted by Peadar
I got the Foot.ie flag laid out on the front (unsold) seats behind the goal at the Lower Davin end.Haven't seen the match on tv yet and don't know if it was seen (but Casso in an earlier post said that he saw it)
If the part at the Hill end is going to be kept to seperate away fans etc surely the FAI could make it a "flag zone" and let people put flags and banners there.

Thought I spotted you behind me alright. He was looking for another programme in the second half, don't think he got though.Was just a couple of rows behind you 'Stu - you really should get a proper stick to hit that yoke with instead of the poor programme
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
The whole thing about the mexican wave is that it takes everyone's eye off the game. On Saturday Dunne won a tackle and next of all everyone starts booin at the Wales fans for not continuing the wave. Now what's he meant to think. Again last night we're under pressure and these muppets start looking to start a Mexican wave. If you wanna do one go to a carnival.
The only reason it blended in with the Mexican wave was because people were standing up and signing trying to stop the wave!
I was on about standing for you boys in green, not the poxxy mexican wave
lower cusack setcion j seats 5 - 8. unreal atmosphere completely diffferent to saturday. everytime i saw the corner of the lower davin going i got up on my feet singing and everyone started getting up and singing.completely different to saturday wheni i was made sit down. our group started off a couple of chants as well that worked there way around the ground.
what i noticed today was there was 1 person every 6 - 10 seats away from eachother ( plants if you like ) that would get up, then the next guy 10 seats away would get up and so on and so forth, then the whole crowd would join in. brilliant. was this a ploy by the fai?
kingdom you mentioned you were in this section what seats were ye? there were a load of kerry boys in the front.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Thought the atmosphere was great and the lads responded to it!! As for the mexican wave anytime i see it at a game it's usually the dullest game ever (e.g. Sat). Was in the hill which was great but Davin stand looked like the place to be!! Heard a Few Ooh Aah Paul McShane chants aswell
Bodhrán bangers, plural.Although I assume you're referring to Beavis, who was standing up a lot more than me.
Problem is I keep losing them under the stand in Belfield.Was just a couple of rows behind you 'Stu - you really should get a proper stick to hit that yoke with instead of the poor programmeThe poor programme is in flithers now - only lasted an hour before the cover fell off into various different pieces. Had to move on to my guide book to Czechoslovakia, ironically enough!
Aw diddums. Did your poor legs get tired?
Don't think you're going to get any sympathy here. Stand up and stop complaining.
Yeah, that's a problem alright. It's getting a bit better - Molly Malone and All You Need is Duff on Saturday, Super Kevin Doyle when Doyler went off last night, Super Keeper when Shay Given came down to the Davin at the end. Just need to get those started up a few more times and hope they catch on.

Couldn't for the life of me see you last night, walked down a bit from where i was sitting and couldn't even see the flag. But when i got home last night stuck on the match and saw the flag at back of goal, now didn't get a great view of it. Then i fell asleep afte about 20 mins so don't know if a better view was available but will check tonight.
Upper Davin block 723 row P
Atsmoshere was definetly an improvement but having said that it was starting from a low base. a few comments
Choice of music before the game was ****e - the Proclaimers ? i would rather go to the dentist.
Anthem wasnt rushed made a big difference
2 people directly in front were different from Saturday as were the 2 to our immediate left.
Lots more singing/people standing up/shouting abuse/ encouragement generally giving a damn about what went on on the pitch.
Mexican waves have no place at a football match not even 3-0 up with 5 mins to go. They can however be negated by Stand Up for the Boys in Green.
Can whoever is in a large bunch of singers get The One Road going - it should be a great fan song but is rarely heard.
The band infront of Lower Davin - were awfull on Saturday and i think takes away from the fans themselves but i will admit they did get a few songs going. However it does feel staged and we really shouldnt need them.
Hopefully the FAI can resolve the tickets problems although i have absolutely no wish to move.
if you are starting an on-line unoffical petition of sorts on this can i proudly add my name. all that would need to be sung is the chorus. whats that 3 or 4 lines??
I'm in the upper Hogan/Canal corner and everyone in my section seems to want to get up and sing. As soon as one person stand they're all up, it was the same on Saturday. Makes it much more enjoyable.lower cusack setcion j seats 5 - 8. unreal atmosphere completely diffferent to saturday. everytime i saw the corner of the lower davin going i got up on my feet singing and everyone started getting up and singing.completely different to saturday wheni i was made sit down. our group started off a couple of chants as well that worked there way around the ground.

Change the words about a bit
We're on the one road,
sharing the one load
We're on the road to Switzerland
We're on the one road, it may be long road
but we're winning all the way..
Doyler, Keano, Given and all!
Dublin, Galway, Cork and Donegal!
We're on the one road, singing along, singin' Irelands song
Not wanting to stray off topic but what is wrong with the original eg Belfast
Galway had a better powerpoint presentation so they got in. It's a whole new song after all.Not wanting to stray off topic but what is wrong with the original eg Belfast
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Its a whole new song meaning better than the original. In the same sense of Scooby Doo and Scappy Doo being an improvement on the original. It's a whole new song after all.
I don't agree. It's really hard to sing the lyrics to the tune of Right Here, Right Now.Galway had a better powerpoint presentation so they got in. It's a whole new song after all.
Belfast isn't a countyNot wanting to stray off topic but what is wrong with the original eg Belfast
Antrim didn't sound good
Ulster is already represented by Donegal
AND
I just wanted to put in Galway

I was in the lower hogan/canal corner and have to agree as soon as a song got going or a group started standing up everyone got up and sang. Not sure if it is the better acoustics in Croke Park but the whistling at the end was deafining. Beats Lansdowne any day for atmosphere.
