On the crazy off chance that it's the 80th minute of the Italy game and Robbie Keane and the boys haven't managed to hit the net in the Poznan Stadium during that game or the Croatia game... I think we should all just do the Poznan for the last 10 minutes  |

Can someone tell me exactly what's so good about doing the Poznan? Linking arms turning your back on the pitch jumping up & down missing what's happening sounds idiotic to me. Would it not be better linking arms jumping up and down facing the pitch. I can see fellas who have never been to an Ireland match being buckled saying in the first minute "Let's do the f**king Poznan" like an excited 10 year old looking to do the Mexican Wave in Lansdowne. -------------

If by dedicated you mean copying the latest flavour of the month just seen on SSN/EPL (God help us there was no football before sky) then I think I will pass. If you want to do choreograpghed 'dance moves I suggest you go to a Glee concert. its probably your age range.

Ahh the old uber fan quip
Oh thats all right then, Celtuic fans do it it must be OK for Irish fans to do - Thnk God for Celtic is all I can say
I am sure the Poznan fans/citizens are having sleepless nights wondering what gestures opposing fans will come up with................. 'if only they would do 'a Poznan' it would make our day'

Poznan folks won't really care. They won't be in the stadium, or at least not many of them. Also, singing another song in honour of Poznan isn't going to get any attention at all. The Poznan celebration at least stands a chance. The thing to be remembered is that the Poznan is actually a goal celebration, not like a facking mexican wave that gets pulled out when people are bored. As it is, I would probably get involved if it started..... but only if it started after we scored and went up by three clear goals with less than ten minutes to play. -------------

You are correct it is something that would get attention here and probably further afield. It is not a goal celebration, it's turning your back on the opposing fans originally and showing the unity of your group....f**king hell the kids section do it here in Poznan as well. It's genius watching all the little buggers jumping up and down. But it could be a goal celebration, sure why not, it's only a bit of craic ffs. We only do it for a minute or two at most, so no point getting carried away, ten mins is too long. If I missed us scoring while we did it, I would not give a bollox, I'd be more happy we scored. Actually it would be f**king hilliarious if we scored while we did it. I am going to the matches to support my country, not to worry that I might miss a few seconds of the action. |

Fair enough Newry Rep,I agree with a lot of what you're saying but just developed an image in my head of a grumpy lad giving out about lads singing this or that song and grumbling into his pint.As i said i don't know you at all so could have it completely wrong. I think it'd would be great if we could all figure out some uniquely Irish chants/songs etc.It won't happen imo as the EPL/SPL is so ingrained in so many of our supporters minds.I watch the EPL as I enjoy it and can understand lads following teams to a degree.What I can't understand is the "we" and "us" nonsense when you have a fat 40 year old lad from Roscommon poured into a liverpool jersey calling another fat lad in a Man U shirt from up the road in Roscommon "a dirty Manc"or sh*te like that.I don't want the thread to descend into a big arguement about this as I'm sure it's being done to death on here as it has on loads of forums. However I wouldn't rule out singing along to some chants that are also used by EPL/SPL teams.These are football chants and you'd probably find similar versions of them all over the world. Bottom line is I'm going to Poland with a load of mates to enjoy the football and the craic and most of all support the team in any way i can. |

Probably closer to the mark than i like to think Went to the European cup winners cup final at Wembley in 93 ? 92? Royal Antwerpt V Parma, Was always struck by the italians singing/chants as I didnt recognise any of the songs whereas the Belgians just rehashed english songs - probably the influence of the BBC reaching Belgium------------- 'Irish' Songs for an Irish team - no SPL EPL generic sh*te Richard Dunne - 6th Sept 11 - best marshalling of a defence in Moscow since General Zukov Russia V Germany 1941 |

I definatley think we should do the Poznan at some stage while over at Euros in Poland, Like come on above all times to to the 'Poznan' wouldnt this be the time? Would ad to the atmosphere and would be great craic, could do it when theres a stoppage in the game for an injury or something like that, imagine the Irish at home watching the T.V and seeing 30000 Irish fans bouncing doing the 'Poznan' would be epic!! ------------- Ireland 4 Poland and Ukraine 2012 :D |

each to their own but hopefully we are more original than just copying the latest fans fun thing to do. |

Agreed but whats the harm in sharing the culture of the locals that play at the stadium. We need to stop worrying about copying other teams chants or celebrations, if it adds to the atmosphere then why not? I can guarentee it would have been suggested by many fans here had it not been taken up by the likes of City and Celtic. Would look unreal. And as for chants we really need some new ones, too much of COYBIG gets boring, ive seen good chants suggested on this forum before and seen them snubbed by many. Need to embrace a few different songs and celbrations. Even the Poznan front on, if we had a bit of a campaign to do it, would be unique and look just as good, but you would need the media to talk about and get an awareness of it so all fans can get it going!! ------------- Ireland 4 Poland and Ukraine 2012 :D |

Would be quality if we got it going. All be it, not in the last 10 minutes of a game(unless we're comfortably winning).
Break in play or something and it could work well. |

| Just seen this thread. Not content with telling us what to wear some fellas now think we need to be told how to conduct ourselves at the games! If a fella wants to do the Poznan dressed in a Seamus Darby offaly jersey let him crack on. I will of course only be singing ybig approved songs while sporting my official Ireland jersey (without sponsors logo) |
