Better songs to sing at the ireland matches

guylikeme

Ireland call is muck. The fields gets ruined by the sf references thrown in by morons. Ole ole acceptable but jaded looking now. As for 'fk john Delaney at the fai', the tune had potential but all singers of said tune have been removed from the aviva. Gash.

Cmon ireland. We can do better than this!

That never happens at the rugby. The fields are lush and plentiful.

Ireland's call is one of the most simplistic pieces of toss I've ever heard.

It's all well and good giving people options until some goul comes along and suggests ed Sheeran and where will we be then

You'll never beat the Irish.

However in a football match, that is a completely silly claim.

Are we talking rugby here? If so I have never heard the fields with any SF references. Leave well enough along. Why do we always criticise ourselves here?

at least everyone would know the words and suddenly remember they forgot

Ole Ole been sung at any Irish sporting event indicates that the bandwagon is on full steam ahead.

Sing some rebel tunes. Look at the atmosphere in Celtic Park. One of the best in europe. Can't sing them at Ireland games anymore due to the "matured as a nation" brigade. They don't even need to mean anything, reality is they bring a good atmosphere and are upbeat. When your get rid of 99% of your song options, there ain't gonna be much left over except the same rubbish again and again and again

I always find it ironic how often Fields of Athenry is sung as rugby matches given the fact that it is a song about the famine, and the landed gentry one associates with rugby took the queen's soup during the famine

It was composed that way so it would be easy to remember and easy to sing even when totally sh*tfaced, a sport version of the Barney the Dinosaur song.

Most, if not all of the 'landed gentry' were Anglo-Irish and already Protestant for hundreds of years before.

I don't mind Fields of Athenry so long as the idiots leave the IRA out of it but I think ole ole ole should be banned outright, it should actually be a criminal offence. It's such a cringey stupid fcuking song, sang by idiot Irish people all over the world like some sort of battle chant. I'm expecting it to be sang at some stage on Strictly Cime Dancing in the coming weeks seeing as Daniel O Donnell is on it this year.

The SF and IRA chants are only usally included by idiots in night clubs, no need for it to be changed at Rugby and Soccer matches. As for Ole Ole Ole, yeah it may sound like a Battle Cry, but its our Battle Cry.

Noone has suggested the Irish mating call, known as Maniac 2000?

At the Euros me and a few friends came up with one to the tune of 99 luftballoons-though the song is a bit dated now with Robbie on his last legs:

Pass the ball to Robbie Keane,
We'll sing songs of Gary Breen,
Score a goal and we will scream,
Pass the ball to Robbie Keane,

la da da da da da da etc.

Sing Scottish football songs at an Irish international match?

How odd?

But it makes absolutely no sense. 99.999% of the time it's simply the words "ole ole ole" sang over and over again. It's generally sang while abroad in other countries but the words are Spanish, absolutely no relevance to Ireland/Irish. It's a stupid daft song.

you can blame put em under pressure for the whole ole ole ole tr!pe

How about The Irish Rover with some new words?

You mean sing Irish songs at an Irish match, some of which are also used by a club of Irish diaspora. How crazy does that sound?

Bohs have that. It's grand but it's very Dublin centric.

At half time at the recent Ireland, Germany match Tha Après Match boys finished their piece with the guitar riff from Put em under pressure with the crowd joining in just before the second half whistle. It was great, even the Germans joined in.

Boys of the Old Brigade or the way the Green Brigade do The Lonesome Boatman at Celtic Park would be good at Ireland matches.

Oh well thanks for that amazing bit of insight Fred. When we are at it could you point out exactly where I said they weren't a Scottish football club? Moreover, can you not be of Irish diaspora if you are Scottish, as you seem to be equating this to me calling Celtic Irish? And even moreover, my point was of the singing of rebel tunes at Ireland games for the atmosphere. How does Celtic adopting them make them Scottish songs, considering they are written by Irish people in Ireland and about Ireland?

I never heard the SF line till I moved to Dublin. In my stint up North the line was "Fcuk the queen" which seemed to make more sense (slightly).
