Hill 16, am I alone in thinking we badly need a wider selection of songs?

Like it was all well and good walking up the ramps into the Cusack a few weeks ago to listen to Westmeath airheads chant - go home you boys in blue...... - but idiots aside, like those who went home, does anyone think we really could do with a bit more selection in our songs, considering I know of only one that is ever sang at GAA matches.

It gets very tedious throughout a match imo.

As a Westmeath fan (thanks to the culchie father) yes a few new songs are needed, not that I can't be talking about how un-vocal Westmeath supporters are but that isn't the question.

I'm waiting for the days "You'll Never Walk Alone" is sung from the Hill.:D

Yes they should but half the "fans" don't know them.

It's like the soccer years ago when there were great songs sang at the Ireland matches especially in the 80's, there is no one singing them now and the hill is prob gone like that.
Too many young assholes in there.

humberklog · 19-08-2008 08:13PM

Yeah I wanted to blame the southsiders too but alas the hill never had a singing tradition. Other yhan the usual "C'mon on ya....". People were too busy fighting or avoiding the bottles thrown by the Animal gang. But holy moly what's with the southside influence, especially in hurling. It ain't sitting god with this ex-Craobhman.

Anyway I was thinking that The Ol' Triangle would be a cracker of a terrace chant. Even people from places like Rathfarnham would know it.

They don't get a chance to be there too often so let them at it!

Three or four Leinster titles in a row - most counties would die for that!

Don't I know it sure every manager underage and up is a Southsider from by the looks of it.

Curlypinkie · 22-08-2008 07:23PM

Lol at the jersey.
Yes I'm heading out to get it as we speak!

I think the Ol' Triangle is not too bad?
But apart from that I reckon a few years back you had a lot more of Croker singing with the Hill, Hogan or Cusack but nowadays people are so quiet? What's the craic with that?

Collie D · 23-08-2008 03:43PM

What happened to the Rare Auld Times? Used to get a regular outing on the Hill. Agreed about the "too many scumbags on the Hill" comment. Seems to get worse every year.

23-08-2008 03:48PM

tbh I don't think there is a problem with scum bags on the hill, like don't get me wrong there are some, maybe a little awkward standing near so just move away

Emerald Lass · 23-08-2008 05:23PM

I'd sing anything quicker than that bloody 'hill 16....nah nah nah......hill 16.....nah nah nah'

it was Hill 16 la la la for years, must be changed since I stopped going.

Used to be loads of songs back in the mid-90s:

If I had the wings of a sparrow, if I had the arse of a cow......

Boom boom boom, let me hear ye say Jayo

Ring-a-ring a rosie, as the light declines..........

We are the D, the D.U.B.S, we are the Dubs and we are the best.

Molly Malone

Come on you boys in blue..

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie Charlie!

Hill 16, am I alone in thinking we badly need a wider selection of songs?
