Right lads, i think we need a few new chants for the euros. As it stands we have; Stand Up for the Boys in Green Ole Ole Ole IRELAND!! Just cant get Enough Oh Trappatoni, used to be Italian but he's Irish now. Keano! Oro se do bheatha bhaile, Trappatonis Army (if it takes off) and of course "Come on you...BOYS IN GREEN!" Other than that, there are a few less well known ones (like the johnny walters chant). We want to be as colourful and loud as possible at games. Has anyone any ideas for new chants/songs? I think we should pay homage to Richard Dunne and the other long serving players a bit more, so heres my attempt at a Richie Dunne chant. Following his display of bravery courage and steel in Moscow, we could liken him to a Na Fianna warrior from Irish History Maybe one side of crowd chant across to the other "RICHARD DUNNE!" and the other side chant back "NA FIANNA WARRIOR!"...this is aided by claps and jumping. I make no bones of the fact the chant came to mind while watching Celtic fans chants on youtube, the Paddy McCourt's Fenian Army chant is the format i would see the "Richard Dunne Na Fianna Warrior" chant taking.... Anyone any other ideas?? It would be great if we could come up with original ones i agree but i dont see a problem with taking an air or format from another chant, especially a lot of the celtic ones. The floor is open....! ------------- Given, Dunne, Duff, Keane...The Generals. |

Love the lads that come on and criticise chants and offer nothing themselves. Anyway, a James McClean one: "Hey, I'm from Derry and this is crazy but heres my number so call me maybe.... It wouldnt feel right, with them Nordies so heres my number, so call me maybe... Before he came into the squad we missed him so bad, we missed him so bad, we missed him so so bad!" Bit of craic only, maybe it could be worked on... Think the video shown above is quality. Cant understand lads who dont like using airs or formats of different songs, Celtic have no probs using Irish songs and airs for their chants, maybe we should take them back, like the 'Lonesome Boatman' as suggested above.

You're very welcome, Uncle Trap! Numbers of posts is not usually a very accurate gauge of how great an Ireland supporter you are.
Some people here with lots of posts should have their posts subjected to a quality control department check!!

at least with chants like "keano" the players know its our supporters in full voice. generic and bootlegged stuff that is nicked from other teams could be for either team.
i think some are more interested in entertaining themselves than actually giving the team support they will instantly recognise

Newryrep: How sad is that, wearing the amount of posts you have on an anonymous internet forum as a badge of honour??!! Fcuk sake iv seen it all now. Maybe in 3 years time when i have a couple of hundred posts you might take me seriously then?! Whats more worrying is that you didnt like the "RICHARD DUNNE...NA FIANNA WARRIOR" chant....crazy stuff!! The fact you have a couple of thousand posts is admirable, but once upon a time you had 12 posts too. You just might have more time on your hands than some of us, a lot more time maybe.... Would you prefer if nobody else joined the forum? When did you jump on the bandwagon yourself? Day 1 i suppose..... Anyway, im done with the 8 year old bickering.

"Keano" chant was first sung by Manchester Utd fans about Roy Keane. Arguing against that is a little bit silly. I absolutely agree we should try and use Irish songs and tunes. Which is why i like the Oro se do bheatha bhaile song. Celtic had no probs using the lonesome boatman air, its an Irish song, we should take it back. Theres tons of songs we should and could use but for some reason Irish fans are somewhat shy of using any song remotely connected to our rebel past.Fields of Athenry probably being the exception. For example a 'Song for Ireland' sang in a slow air could sound class or the lively 'God Save Ireland' chorus sang over and over would sound class with jumping and clapping but it will never catch on for fear we might offend somebody or be branded members of the Ra, which is a load of bollixology. ------------- Given, Dunne, Duff, Keane...The Generals. |

I suggested Oro se do bheatha bhaile last month and it got a lot of interest, might get a dry run at the Bosnia Match (The Irish version hopefully, not 'Trapattoni's Army'!).

Go something like this: "God save Ireland, said the heroes God save Ireland, said they allWhether on the scaffold high Or the battlefield we die Oh, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall!" Repeat about 7 times with jumping and clapping getting louder every time, it would sound class. Catchy, everyone knows it, uniquely Irish, distinctive and a defiant fighting song, can be sang in a lively manner with clapping and jumping and would sound well. Nothing offensive in it. Anyone else not kinda tired with the older stuff. yes we can still sing them but think we need to expand the options a small bit. I think the 'God Save Ireland' chant could sound great. Better than the "we're all part of Trappa's army" version anyway...

I agree - but sure many a song/chant has been shared between countries. Though I also have the feeling that a more traditional Irish slant to it would be great. Olé, Olé, Olé was great at the time and will never be forgotten - but maybe we should be more confident now about our own style and make something that is ours. The players would get used to it in time. |

Something could be done with that Mundy song July or maybe Aslan's Crazy World. Like "How can I protect you in this crazy world, It's O'SHEA, It's O'SHEA!!!" Still my favorite is Uncle Traps idea "Hey, I'm from Derry and this is crazy but heres my number so call me maybe.... The boys from Windsor, they tried to take me so heres my number, so call me maybe...

Uncle Trap, If you're here for any length of time you'll soon realise that this lad never has anything positive to say about anything or anybody ever.The fact that he makes reference to how many posts you have is fairly pathetic and automatically loses any argument on an internet forum imo. |

The chants everyone is coming up with are great! Just thinking is everyone staying in Berlin on the Saturday night or some square in Poznan on the Sunday where we could belt out a few songs so we hit the ground running once we are in the stadium.
We won't be able to get the whole crowd singing unless theres a load of us coordinated enough and loud enough to get everyelse behind it.
I could collect up all the suggestions and put them in a word doc and send it around to everyone so at least a good few would know them before we get into the stadium, and then we can blow the roof off it! ------------- On the First day of Christmas... |

Lonesome Boatman is a great tune, so is On the One Road. I remember Mick McCarthy conducting the crowd in Palermo in 1990 when we sang that one. Also, nothing wrong with singing God save Ireland as a poster suggested earlier.

First post on YBIG ( I think - unless I posted when drunk before - not impossible), despite being a foot.ie veteran. My usual login is taken (probably by myself) so I'll use a shrtened version.
Proposed song: short, sweet and simple:
ooh ah Manuela, say ooh ah Manuela.

tune based on the children's rhyme nick nack paddy wack, a common tune
found in many football grounds. Will easily work seeing everyone knows
the tune and lyrics are straight forward. we'll be singing it over than anyway, even if yous dont like it  this one is based on the west ham song about billy
bonds and fits extremely well with our big man Richard Dunne.6 foot 2 eyes are blue Richard Dunne is after you with a nick nack paddy wack give a dog a bone why dont (enter team name) f**k off home (apologies if its been suggested or is to generic, thought id way in anyway) |
