Going Viral - The Irish News

Any craic · January 07, 2016, 11:52:23 AM

Joe on Joe.ie... Joe Brolly got very excited about Antrim's goals last night and tweeted immediately from the game. Now the video coverage has gone viral, especially because of the last goal. Yes I'm involved in the new short-term venture with the Irish News but fair play to them for taking the initiative. Otherwise, you wouldn't see these goals and Antrim wouldn't be getting the boost online today.. bit.ly/1RuICyu & joe.ie here bit.ly/1SBHXvP

Great to see Antrim winning, even if it was only against another team in Antrim.

Was Amhrán na bhFiann played before the match? I thought national anthems were banned from been played at the Dub.

Nonsense. I attended the game, the anthem was sung beautifully by a young girl, they said she played for the ladies side at the college. Tricolour there too.

I liked the "and Antrim wouldn't be getting the boost online today"

Its just a bit of a pity that a clip reaffirming stereotypical prejudices about Antrim football that goes viral.

Joe Brolly retweeting is the definition of going viral? 8 views to date on an actual forum dedicated to the subject sport puts things in perspective.

Some boy stood in the middle of the pitch in front of the stand holding a tricolour too.

I had heard that too re the anthem at the Dub, I think it was when it was suggested on here as a possible Antrim league venue...?

Redhand Santa · January 08, 2016, 02:19:31 PM

Another good service not sure why people on here would be smart arses about it.
