It's nothing to do with the success we'd have on the pitch and qualifying for tournaments. It's about signing the national song and having respect for your country. It disappoints me that most of the players don't sing it. CJ Stander came from South Africa and on his first appearance for the Ireland rugby team he had the song learnt off and belted out the words. It can be done.

They are playing for a football team that represents a country, not for a country. There is a subtle difference.
Respect, or not, for a country is an entirely personal thing as what that country means to any of its citizens is different for every single one. The things that we think it should mean are nothing more than myths that we have been sold. Some based on real events that are overplayed or cheaply sold.
Maybe, for some lad born in the 21st century, singing a song about being soldiers is nonsensical, for others it isn't, but just because you see it as important to what Ireland is for you, and playing for an Irish football, doesn't mean it has to mean something to every player who does or that singing a song makes them try harder or play better. It's nonsense. |

I sing the anthem before all of our games when I am there. If I knew there was a camera stuck in my face, I probably wouldn't.

The 1990 team didn't sing it too well. Would rather a team of ballers than a team of singers.

Find people standing up for the anthem in pubs is as weird as the rugby crowd telling people to be quiet before a kick. Ya wouldn't do it in the sitting room of your house to why in a pub.

Spurs are on the Wembley by Chas and Dave. Put em Under Pressure is still the best though.
