Is this to drown out anti FAI songs? Something similar was tried at the cup final.

It was okay but it needed to be more in synch with what the fans were singing. He was playing ybig too quickly for example, the pace of the song is supposed to slow right down as you go into each chorus. Stand Up For The Boys In Green worked well though. Overall it wasn't a bad idea and was okay mostly

Trumpet wasn't even discussed when we met the FAI. Didn't someone offer to do it on here? Wouldn't be a fan. Don't think it was that bad though, atmosphere was good last night despite how sh*t the game was. They don't need people in front of the south lower though, it's tvs test of the stadium that's the problem. ------------- Blog: http://afalsefirstxi.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI Twitter: @afalsefirstxi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/afalsefirstxi/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI |

Annoying fcuking thing, that trumpet. There are a few things here though, firstly, whether anyone liked it or not, the crowd did join in. Second, and this has been said many times before, there is something wrong with the accoustics in the North stand. I was high in the West Upper, above the corner flag, so close enough to the SS. Could look down & see the SS fairly hopping, but couldn't hear a fcuking thing. Could hear the Welsh lads at the other end of the ground no bother at all when they started singing/chanting. No idea how to solve that one. Third, the reason the band is there in the first place is that (bar the few hundred in the SS and a few individuals/small groups dotted around elsewhere in the stadium) we are piss poor as fans at creating any atmosphere. No idea how to solve that one either. We are fairly good at reacting to what is going on on the pitch though, and the atmosphere noticably improved in the last 20 mins when we were attempting to attack, so maybe the key to the atmosphere is to attack at all times. We'll have to change manager to solve that one. Apropos of nothing in particular, I fcuking hate that miserable dirge/lament The Fields of Athenry so much that if I ever get me hands on a time travelling DeLorean, the first thing I'll do is go back & stop Trevaleyn's lads from taking Michael away. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Don't go to home games so was at home watching it - f**king sounds terrible on the tv. That siad it did seem to get fans singing around the ground, but in the big games that usually happens anyway. So the trumpet needs be shoved up his hole and never darkens Lansdowne Road again. He started to play a team of Gary Breen at one stage - get your coat.

There was no talk of a brass band at the meeting, I'm pretty sure that a poster on here offered to do that a couple of weeks later on a thread somewhere. I replied that I wouldn't be a fan and it was associated with England as well but there certainly wasn't a load of moany old wans objecting to it like we have on this thread. If people in the rest of the ground actually bothered their whole chanting and joined in then there wouldn't be any need for any discussion about it. Easy to bitch, not seeing any suggestions to improve it though. I wouldn't be a fan of bands or drums to improve atmosphere, I'd prefer what you see on the continent where you have lads with megaphones and sh*t like that but I don't really see that working here.

Said the exact same on Friday. Far as I know the suggestion for drummers was to have them spread across the ground. Was surprised to see them all gathered in front of the south. Dunno if that was because they were miked up. Much as I'm not a fan at least they hit the fcuking things in time unlike the one that's normally at it. The suggestion that it was there to drown out any anti JD chants is laughable, that's Jim Corr levels of conspiracy sh*te there lads! ------------- Blog: http://afalsefirstxi.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI Twitter: @afalsefirstxi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/afalsefirstxi/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI |

| I don't understand where this obsession with 'creating an atmosphere' has come from? An atmosphere creates itself, usually in reaction to what happens on the pitch, and can not/should not be artificially created by some langer with a trumpet or a drum or a flute or whatever. And who says the atmosphere at Irish games is bad anyway? At home to Germany and Poland in the last qualification campaign was pretty much as good as I have ever experienced. |

Its great to see something being tried, and from watching on tv it certainly seemed to work a couple of Times but it shouldn't be a brass band ffs and certainly shouldn't be played over the tannoy.

Exactly.. The noise of the crowd reflects what happens on the pitch. We have a singing section for those who want to sing all game long regardless of what's going on in the game. The rest will cheer or sing in response to the action, as it should be. That means the noise level (which is what people seem to call 'atmosphere') will be louder when the game has more action or more excitement in it. These shouts and songs are born of passion and emotion and that's why it's a great feeling. You can't manufacture it.

am not sure that's right, we were up against the WC holders and fair enough we had a few scares and should of been 2-3 0 down but I think the crowd appreciated the effort against a superior side Having said that there does need to be something on the pitch for us to get behind otherwise the life just gets drained out crowd. Thought we were rubbish for up until the sending off Now if only we have a decent song or two...............

I can understand the need for something to lift the atmosphere but everytime the band stood up, they were blocking my view of the full left side of the pitch. I had to take drastic action to bring attention to it. After that they asked me before they stood up but the next time was when Seamus was on the ground. We told them where to go of course - our captain's been floored and you want to blast a fcking trumpet! Its debatable whether a trumpet should be used but the location for anything on the pitch has to be carefully chosen, one of corners between south and east or west maybe. A group standing in front of SS means those in front in that section can see nothing across most of the pitch. Its always better if songs develop naturally from the crowd reacting to whats happening on the pitch of course but if we're trying to fill silences, just a couple of bars to start and leave it to the crowd after that. And there were too many times where a song was building naturally and they started playing something else.

For most people at the ground going to football isn't a regular event so are happy to just sit and watch and not partake. Different with the Scotland fans although they had a dreadful attendance last night. Nearly the whole ground stands and takes part in the singing. Even from my time in the SS, not that many people in it actually sing. If everyone contributed in there the atmoshere would sound great and it might actually spread. Should be non stop singing but sadly people don't really get involved bar the odd rendition of TFOA or ybig

| Do you know what would help the atmosphere? Good football on the pitch |

Exactly. The atmosphere generated itself in the last few minutes when we laid seige to the Welsh goal. That's what'll get the crowd going. As for the drummers, wrong king of drums. You need a big bass drum a la Manolo banging out a rythmn for everyone to chant along to, not snare drums from a marching band accompanying a trumpeter who can sod off. I half expected him to play The Great Escape...

1. Why were they facing the South Stand 2. Why would they try and get other songs going when we were building chants 3. Had the trumpet player ever heard anyone sing YBIG before? Way too fast 4. f**k off with the trumpet

| I think no matter what is done for home game re atmosphere it's not gonna suit everyone. But the other night was cringe. I really hope there is no repeat of the piped music for the Austria game. |

100%, react to what's happening on the field, I don't see why everyone has to adopt some eastern European gimp ultra culture or follow whatever the epl daytrippers bring home. Can't we just have a pint, wave a tricolor and shout when appropriate. |

Doesn't even require that. Trying to score a goal and win the game is usually enough. Slowing the game down at every opportunity and playing for a draw is not great for the aul' atmosphere. And how can you have a trumpeter at a football game not play the Grand March from Aida? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvchHfziDSg" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvchHfziDSg |

Exactly. It's a cop out to say "at least theyre trying something // people would complain regardless". The trumpet and mic'ing it up to the PA system was objectively pure sh*te and has been roundly mocked by everyone who commented on it including various news outlets, so it's not just a minority on here complaining. It wasn't a good atmosphere, bad game where we created little and a lot of morons seemed to be about the amount of which hadn't been seen since the England friendly. Atmosphere was excellent against Germany, Bosnia, Scotland and Poland last year so let it happen organically. It livened up after the red card after we started actually trying to play.
