    Always assumed it was a fan just ringing a bell. Absolute melt. Up there with those people that just "bang" a Bodhrán and do nothing constructive with it. Bring a ****ing drum if you want to just bang something.

    How do you want them to do something "constructive" with the Bodrán ?

    Play a Planxty tune with it ?

    If they want to just do a mind numbing repetitive drum, bring a drum, not a Bodhrán.

    Be like bringing a recorder or flute to use as a whistle.

    It's a reference to back when a warning bell would ring at the level crossing when the train was passing AFAIK

    Didn't the dart used to give an ol toot of its horn too as it passed if games were on? Have vague recollections of that happening.

    Went to Maine Road on a few occasions in the past and at every single game there was an elderly lady behind one of the goals and every time City were attacking her goal she would ring the bell with gusto.

    We would have been sitting in the stand opposite the Kippax I think it was called, I'm not a City fan and it's a good few year back now, but this lady was behind the goal to our left for each game.

    Any City fans know the story there?
