You might expect it off the English born lads in the squad but the likes of McClean, Randolph, Duffy, Young Doherty et al.

Sing the English lyrics of it if you cant speak Irish.

You look at the welsh lads and they belt out their anthem in Welsh.

Bad formThumbs Down
Eh, what has singing go to do with anything? 
You never see Spanish lads singing when their anthem is played and they've done alright down the years. 
Almost like their anthem has no lyrics LOL
LOL
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

There really was no excuse for not singing it on a Sunday, all the starting 11 were born in Ireland
