Hi Lads,
 
First time posting here but have been going to games for a while now and have few Qs and thoughts about the whole PA/songs thing.
 
Does anyone know why in the name of god do they play "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys just before kick off?  It does nothing for me or for what I can see any of the other supporters around me. 
 
Also, against Armenia, they decided to play "put em under pressure" as the backround to a montage on the big screen just before kick off but then changed the music just as the crowd was getting into it.
 
Then after the game, they played "put em under pressure" just as everyone was going out of stadium and players were down the tunnel. 
 
What in the hell is going trough mthe minds of the people that decide this musical "strategy"?  They coud really get the crowd fired up if they were a bit more savvy with their musical choices.

I wasn't in Paris, and can't remember when they played it after that game. Those moments I've happily wiped from my memory


But for the love of jesus, the song is horrific! we have plenty of more suitable ones to play other than crap

In 2001 a 2-0 win at home over Iran menat their one goal late in the second leg meant nothing and off we went to Japan Korea in 2002.

We've never qualified for a major championship on home ground and if it's "Tonight's gonna be a good time",  "Fiesta", " Put em under pressure" or whatever song is blasted out once we qualify I couldn't give a rats arse.  If I've a tear in my eye at 21:40 I couldn;t give a rats arse either.

The point is when we qualify it will be on our own turf and let's just celebrate and enjoy the moment.

Just saying............

ok, but I didn't link the two together and I don't think a lot of the suporters are either.  They also play it after a goal is scored and I feel the crowd are just not buying it..... Time for a change me thinks on this one....
 
what about a fans selection for songs pre-match and half-time?  I think it is done in the premiership and works well so no reason why it shouldnt work for us.   The PA/music scene needs to be rethinked.....

Ive no idea how that guy keeps his job. The amount of times he f**ks something up completely is huge, apart from the hugely irritating way in which he speaks. He's an absolute laughing stock, and extremely irritating. Leinster had the sense to get rid of him for their games.

As for the songs, I'd love for On the One Road, Put Em Under Pressure etc to be played before the game, but nothing, including Fiesta, to be played when we score. The atmo will be electric at those times, and at full time (hopefully!) and wont need to be drowned out or sanitised by the booming PA system.

And the lad they replaced him with is an even bigger tool, more than one Leinster fan apologised to me about his behaviour at the Leinster - Munster game and theu consider him an absolute embarrassment
