| Every major championship we've qualified for we've had an official song whether it was Put Em Under Pressure or the Rocky Road to Poland. Does anybody know if we'll have one this year? |

Read a number of times that it will be done by TodayFM but they're taking their time if thats the case. SoccerRepublic are calling upon viewers to come up with thheir own which I can imagine will be woeful. Unlike Euro 2012, there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of individual efforts on Youtube. Which I suppose is a blessing in disguise ------------- You don't know Bo? 2018 YBIG Fantasy Football Champ! |

Most radio djs are absolutely awful anyway, especially on Irish radio. What was the name of the two annoying Dublin fellas on 2fm before?

I think I hear some Oro Se Do Bheatha Abhaile in there : probably no coincidence what with it being the 1916 centenary and Patrick Pearse having written the lyrics.

| 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). |

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. ------------- Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more... 97.6% chance this post will be replied to by Baldrick (source: PWC) |

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. 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.

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'.

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?? |

We absolutely would be singing it during the Euros though if it was good enough. People talking about there being too many words in the chorus but the main problem with Rocky Road to Poland was that there was too many words and it was just a pretty rubbish song, just ended up with people joining in at the 'You'll never beat the Irish' part.
Just listened to The Irish Roar for the first time and actually think it's a decent effort. Really like the Oro se element to it. The chorus itself would stick in your head after hearing it a few times. Definitely far better than 4 years ago for me. Great tribute to Bill at the end |

I like it, a lot. Could we get the fans to chant Oro se do bheatha bhaile during the Euros? As the younger generation will have heard it in Euro2016 song, I still find it extraordinary and depressing at the same time that we don't chant those 5 words particularly in this year of all years yet a group still continue to take songs away from Celtic Park. ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

The production of it is not great either, sounds like it was mixed by a couple of 16 year olds in their bedroom, that's one of the reasons you're struggling to understand the lyrics. It really needs some Swedish Eurovision type production

It's grown on me a bit. The production is cat, but the verses are pretty decent. The chorus/title/hook are still embarrassing. "The Irish Roar" is self-reverential and totally humorless. No wonder John Delaney likes it. ------------- You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive: I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995" |

I've grown to like it. It's an upgrade from "Rocky Road" and nowhere as bad as "Watch Your House" With better production behind the scenes it could sound a lot better. That and they're releasing it late enough, wonder is that why yer man rushes through the verses! ------------- You don't know Bo? 2018 YBIG Fantasy Football Champ! |

It takes quite a lot for an official song to be simple enough, catchy enough, and good enough for the fans to sing it. Genuine question this, but have there been many official team songs that the fans have sung? I think the English fans sung that 'three lions' number didn't they? Pains me to admit it, but that was a good song.
