    No.

    ''O Lord, our God, arise,
    Scatter her enemies,
    And make them fall.
    Confound their politics,
    Frustrate their knavish tricks,
    On Thee our hopes we fix,
    God save us all. ''

    :rolleyes:

    I think I'll boo this as much as I want.


    ''If the people there didnt care they wouldnt have sang OUR anthem now would they?''

    Fair point.

    And I don't own a Celtic Jersey, but I do respect them as a club. Actually other than Barcelona, their history is of most interest to me.

    I just think it'd have been embarrassing bearing in mind how much of a big deal was made of it by the press leading up to it.

    I was jokin bout that idiot who got photographed with the "No To Foreign Games" banner while wearing his Celtic jersey.

    I think your right. In a way it makes us look smart and intelligent people as a collective. What was booing their anthem going to do?

    You sort of won the whole discussion when you said the fans belted out Amhran na Bhfiann.

    (Yeah that picture is class...LOL)

    Hmmm.

    A tough one.

    We were playing Sporting Fingal in the LC recently and they have a player who always gets the following chanted at him.

    (re-e-wind
    when the crowd say "bo"
    select-a)

    "play-ers name
    when a girl says "no"
    Molest her"

    That's pretty funny imo.

    Also, some pretty choice stuff about George O'Callaghan too, which is also funny, because it does seem to wind him up.

    And, I know this is true, another Cork City player, who had a spell with Shels, and I spent the whole of last seasons Cup game spewing vitriol at from the sideline. He's a winger, and his game was definitely affected, he kept drifting infield away from me. Even the City bench were laughing. Anyway, I met the same lad at the post-Cup Final FAI function then the City function in their hotel later that night, and I reminded him of the day. He remembered alright, asking "What did I do to that guy? Murder his family or something?". When I told him it was me he laughed and shook my hand, so that was fine.

    Oh, and on the last day of last season, Pat Dolan was on the bench for Wexford Youths, and I was shouting abuse at him, he turned to me and gave the "wanker" gesture. That was pretty funny too.

    Getting back to it though. There was a Drogs player who's wife died of cancer, and some set of fans (either Bohs or Rovers) were singing songs about that. That was wrong.

    IMO, direct pisstaking, slagging and abuse is ok, but not when it involves the players' wife/kids/family.
    That chant was originally sang as van-per-sie when he was arrested for rape last summer

    The only thing I would call off limits is things like the Simon Webb one

    Was that Liam Kearney by any chance? He just seems to be the easiest player in the league to wind up, I was at a match in the RSC in Waterford a few years ago when Kearney was in great form coming up to it, think he was in the u21 squad at the time, a big fella in the front roared at him literally for the whole 90 mins (yes he did switch sides) and he had a terrible game

    There is nothing wrong with chants like this
    Frank Lampard Lampard, he can't touch Steve Gerrard, he's small and a f*ckin tard, who's Frank Lampard.

    Also, footballers such as Ashley Cole should be abused at every opportunity for obvious reasons (like the infamous quote from his book)

    And
    Have you ever seen Sol Campbell with a woman?

    Not last summer surely, that chant was being used for the LoI player when Shels were still in the Premier.

    Yeah, I knew it was stolen from the VP thing.

    Indeed it was. :)

    And here we are on the night in question. He wouldn't kiss my damn Shels crest :D

    What about the Kanu one?

    "He's big, he's black
    He's had a heart attack"

    Now on first view it would be deemed both racist and a poor jibe at the man's health, yet it's sung to him by his own fans!

    On that note, isn't there a song Utd fans sing about Park which mentions that he eats dogs?

    Doesn't really matter if it's coming from your own fans, I'm sure the players in question find it offensive.

    How do you know? Maybe they arent hyper-sensitive members of the Pc brigade and just see it for what it is, a show of support and the fans having a laugh.

    Honestly I believe the time the Celtic fans booed the minute Silence for the death of the Queen of England. The British Press went crazy with that. I felt it was understandable. Iraqi's wouldn't hold a minute silence for George Bush, or his son or his sons son.

    Elizabeth died.Did she?

    Park, Park, wherever you may be,
    You eat dogs in your home country!
    It could be worse, you could be Scouse,
    Eating rats in your council house!

    :D
