Paul McGrath's new Career

highgiant1985 · 07-09-2011 8:41pm #1

Just saw this on the rte news and felt kinda bad for Paul but I'm now having a discussion with a mate at the moment and we're in disagreement over if this is good or bad. (I reckon its crap and he must be broke to be doing this). Do people reckon he'll be a Hit or Miss....

Paul McGrath is still a legend in all matters soccer related though so I hope I give him at least some extra sales from this extra exposure (but not enough that there will be further albums :P).

Ouu ah Paul Mcgrath!

geetar · 07-09-2011 8:45pm

ooh aaagggghhhh, make it stop!

Frank Black · 07-09-2011 8:52pm

I'll forgive him anything after the 1994 match against Italy.

Yes - even that.

Chuck Stone · 07-09-2011 8:53pm

Paul McGrath cannot be spoken of with ill will.

A pox upon all of ye who do.

Temptamperu · 07-09-2011 8:54pm

I cant even watch it, im to embarrased for him :pac:

MungBean · 07-09-2011 9:03pm

Was expecting it to be cringe all the way but he's got a great voice. Wasnt cringe worthy at all, was pretty decent.

No embarrassment needed folks, he done good.

exador · 07-09-2011 9:09pm

Well Paul ...you have got four yess'es u are going through

Yes if you enjoy narcoleptic voices singing to you. Other than the monotone delivery, pitch barely above speaking level and a godawful video that made me cringe so hard I nearly had back spasms, it wasn't a bad effort.

fryup · 07-09-2011 9:17pm

for such a Hard Man he has a very soft voice, not a bad effort and its for charity too

Hey, come on now, the man is not here to defend himself

sentient_6 · 07-09-2011 9:25pm

Best to listen only & ignore the cringeworthy video. I have to say i really like his voice.

weldoninhio · 07-09-2011 9:25pm

Fair play to him, its not easy to leave the world of soccer behind. You must have so much time on your hands after years of training and playing to just stop, and it would be easy to let the demons take over, as happened with Paul. If music gives him a focus and is something he enjoys doing, it can only help keep him away from temptation.

ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!!!

It'll never be as big as Roy Keane's "Dry Your Eyes, Becks".

Why is the pitch "barely above speaking level" an issue?

Tesco Massacre · 07-09-2011 9:39pm

Still better than Jedward.

He sang it softly, you think he should have been roarin it? Video wasnt great but I've seen worse from established acts, also heard worse singing from a lot of extremely popular acts.

Paul Mcgrath and Green Day "When September Ends" - now we're talkin'

Yakult · 08-09-2011 2:04am

Is it only me or is he's left nostril much bigger than he's right??!

One side does look massive at one point but its just the angle I think. They evens out when he turns his head...................cant believe I'm examining a video to see what size Paul McGrath's nostrils are at 3am of a Thursday mornin. Where did it all go wrong ?

The Internet Explorer · 08-09-2011 2:08am

Human being bearing soul through song.

Man contemplating life.

Reflection.

Contemplation.

Life.

ascanbe · 08-09-2011 2:09am

He's Paul McGrath.
If his new career choice was beating the sh*t out of me for as long as he felt it was worthwhile, i'd probably give it the thumbs up.

If he was, I guarantee none of us would get the better of him and his defensive skills.

OOH AHH PAUL McGRATH!!

Paul McGrath can do whatever the fcuk he wants.

He's earned that right.

Genuinely, his singing voice is not too different to speaking voice which is rich, somewhat soothing, and agreeable.
He hasn't displayed a talent here that is going to have a seismic effect on the course of popular music, but he's at least as good as, and better in some ways, than some of f*ckers who make a living singing on this isle.

He sings the song quite well. As good as any of the ****e on the radio these days anyway.

TheZohanS · 08-09-2011 10:36am

I don't care, I'm going to buy it on itunes.

JonathanAnon · 08-09-2011 11:46am

I dont see what the problem is... He's not a bad singer and entitled to make and album if he wants.. quite a substantial portion of which is going to charity.. From what I heard from him on the radio before, he doesnt have a lot to do with his time since he retired from football.. If this helps fill his day and keep him off the beer, then good luck to him..

An incredible footballer and a nice guy..

RichieC · 08-09-2011 11:49am

Never ever question the acts of Paul McGrath.

washiskin · 08-09-2011 11:53am

The man put his heart & soul into Irish Football when it was neither popular or profitable to do so - not like some of the serial badge-kissers we have today.
Fair play to him for giving something new a go and getting on with life after the sh*tty hand he was dealt.

I can't believe the amount of people that think this is anything but pure cringeworthy tripe!

Jedward, now they are cringeworthy...

...Paul McGrath - not so cringeworthy (my opinion)

Well done Paul and I hope he sells loads of copies, especially as some of the proceeds are going to a good cause

jonnyfingers · 08-09-2011 12:36pm

Paul McGrath's album will surely be better than " Now! That's What I Call Roy Walker".

Sure didn't he rap on one of those World Cup songs years ago?

Are am I just thinking of that Dermot Morgan song?

dr.bollocko · 08-09-2011 12:56pm

Mod:
A number of posts have been removed... These were making vague claims about Paul. Substantiate a point with a relevant link from a reputable source or do not post.

Agree with all of above, especially the ride piece

JerryHandbag · 08-09-2011 1:06pm

I expect Richard Dunne will release something similiar in 20 years time. Maybe "The Honey Monster Rap" :pac:
