Pisses me off looking at the players standing there like statues tight lipped during the anthem. 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 form

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

A sad indictment of our attitude towards the Irish language; however, it’s the least of our worries tbf.

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.

Knowledge of the Spanish anthem having no words was implied in Borussia's quip, chaps

Sing the anthem?
If they really loved Ireland, they'd form an eleven piece orchestra and play Amhrán na bhFiann themselves.

This has pissed me off for years. Surely the manager can tell them to learn the anthem, all the oversees players learn both songs for the rugger ball. The same goes for the Englishborn playing for Wales, all 11 sing it. Show a bit of pride in playing for Ireland

I never knew the words myself, beyond the first line or so in Irish. I would have thought most people wouldn't know the words.
Do people think the footballers should learn the words so they can sing along? I never found it the most inspiring anthem myself, at least it's better than the stupid rugby one.

You would think them all singing it loudly would foster some sort of team spirit and collective defiance. During the anthem they look like they are about to fall asleep. Even Kenny doesn't sing it. Shoddy shoddy shoddy!!

If Kenny doesn't sing the anthem I'm changing my opinion on him
I'm now all in on backing him Especially if it pisses off the dopes who think international football is the sporting equivalent of marching to the GPO on Easter Monday 1916 No to singing anthems, yes to singing Kenny's praises
