They waited until a lot of tickets were sold to announce this, a wise move.

Heard it a few minutes ago. The intro with Oro Se Do Bheatha Bhaile is good but the rest is a bit of a mess : it's too fast a tempo and has far too many words for a football anthem.....it would be nearly impossible to sing along to (most great football anthems are slower, have fewer words and are easy to remember).

Decent enough. Catchy tune to be fair. It'll be all over the radios for the next few & will get the hype going across the nation.

As mentioned already there are too many words, plus it is too high pitched to get people singing along.

Very poor effort imo. Saturated with commentary.
It seems every Irish song is trying to follow that same tired overused formula. Cliche lyrics with a bit of match commentary thrown in. Sheesh come up with something a bit original. They've been doing that since 1990. Salzburgs one was miles better than that. |

The match commentary is actually ruining it and adds nothing whatsoever to the song. They missed a trick here because the Oro Se Do Bheath Abhaile part is good and very anthemic sounding, the rest is a mess though.

I like it.
What a fantastic piece at the end quoting Billo. Will only be played in stadium before game. The Euros song will be 'Shane longs on fire'

In fairness Trap, We Are The Boys in Green from 88 has some clips of us scraping past Luxembourg |

Of course, I like the idea of having some Gaeilge in the song.
They are actually a really good band-I've heard some of their other stuff. |

I like it. Catchy, has a blend of traditional Irish and also a French ring to it (only those familiar with French pop music will hear the French twang in the chorus). Great touch to have Billo close it out as well.
Really gets the excitement at fever pitch. Roll on June! |

Surprisingly, it doesn't seem very well produced but I imagine it will sound better live - they should get rid of the constant commentary interruptions though, it sounds like 'Seo Linn featuring George Hamilton'.

Not a fan of the chrous, which I suppose is the main part of the song, but really like the rest of it
Intro is class George Hamilton commentary snippets are class The part naming the side when it cuts into ROBBIE KEANE is deadly Outro is brilliant, Billo  |

It's not too bad as these type of songs go but there does seem to be far too many words crammed in, hard to catch what they're saying at times. All in all its ok, there's been a lot worse |

I really like it.
I think some people are forgetting it's a soccer song, which are usually awful sh*te. The Intro, commentary and Billo at the end are all good. And come on, it's not like we'd be chanting/singing it during the Euros anyway. How many times was the Rocky road to Poland sang in 2012?? |
