Were they not amateurs back then and very amateur IIRC?

Has anyone been in a football changing room?  Has anyone been in a football changing room after winning a trophy? Has anyone ever been in a changing room after qualifying for a world cup?
I've been in loads of the first, could count on one hand the second and none of the third.
This wasn't pre-planned or organised in any way.  It was one of hundreds of songs.  I don't see it as any big deal and the furore is ridiculous.

I've been in many dressing rooms where we have had huge success. Given where I'm from this may amaze people but I have never, ever sang any level of a rebel song, provo chant, Oh Ah etc etc. We have our own chant, which is to the tune of A Nation Once Again, but it's a football chant.  I have never heard rebel songs sung at any of our gatherings. People who would have been in our company would have had 'reason' to do so but never did. We Ah Rooo Chaaa Chaaed with the best of them but never felt the need to should our Irishness through out dates songs.

Perhaps we were just secure in who we were and let our sport do the talking?

Can you record that chant of yours and post it up here, I want to judge it.

60% of the squad were semi pro

I do find it a bit troubling that the creative geniuses of the Wolfe Tones act like it's an original catchy  riff created by them when it dates to a 70s song by the Gap Band called Opps Upside Your Head and fairly sure the various soccer chants with names also preceded it. But credit where it's due.

Presumably not this version

Not bad. Thus I believe is the original.

"It's more that we ourselves have high standards, so we want to develop further, that we can keep the ball under pressure better, that we can play out better
And against Scotland this was the way we won on tactics. We had a better game plan than they had."

They are fully grown adults who clearly are stupid as f**k.
WHY??? sing that song. Literally any other song could be sung.

A lot of them play for decent clubs and would be medua trained. They made a total bollix of a feelgood story.

Says they "clearly are stupid as f**k" but can't spell media......

I see Carla Lockhart has written to Birmingham City FC to see if they intend to conduct an investigation as she is led to believe a number of players in the ROI women's team plays for the. She invoked the Birmingham bomb and everything

Little to be at.

Maybe the intended word was Medusa

Birmingham has a big population of Irish heritage so I'd say Carla's letter will get swiftly filed away in the bin. However, I'd worry about UEFA. There should be nothing to this, but they might make an example of a womens team to act like big men. Would not surprise if they kicked us out.

This is laughable. Very unlikely Birmingham City in post Christian Brum gives a f**k about the DUP.
Would remind one of Jenny Joyce from Derry Girls

Lunatics like Lockhart and the DUP are given far too much leeway in the South by the media and political establishment. Allows them to do these things unopposed.
