[Mickey Linden]

What does this mean?

[Maguire01]

Stand Up For The Ulster Men?

[Mickey Linden]

That must be it. Cheers. Seen it on twitter didnt know what it was

[Tony Baloney]

Anyone know the words to this one?  We might just need to learn them if we got a home quarter final after beating Clermont next week.

What's this "we" you refer to?

[Orior]

I know the words...


Stand up for the Ulstermen
*everyone stands up*
Stand up for the Ulstermen
Stand up for the Ulstermen
Stand up for the Ulstermen
Stand up for the Ulstermen
Stand up for the Ulstermen

*then everyone gets tired and sits down*
*until some shouts*

Stand up for the Ulstermen
*everyone stands up*
Stand up for the Ulstermen
Stand up for the Ulstermen
Stand up for the Ulstermen
Stand up for the Ulstermen
Stand up for the Ulstermen

Repeat ad nauseum

So is this not acceptable / somehow sectarian when sung at WP?

They're not singing for Monaghan, Donegal and Cavan.

Perhaps not - Therefore, SUFTUM factually incorrrect yes, but not sectarian

Do you think it is sung at Windsor Park?

Yes - It is sung at every home game

I laughed out loud when i went to Ravenhill and they chanted "stand up for the Ulster men, stand up for the Ulster men. It's played to the tune of Go west by the Pet Shop Boys!!!

I turned to my 6 4" rugby friend and let out a howler. He shook his head as he knew what I was getting at. I think it's a song for the younger generation of the supporters

Actually they were singing for Monaghan before Tommy Bowe set off for the bright lights of Wales.

Not at Windsor Park.

Do they have away games at Windsor Park?

Was at the game on Friday and it was my first Ulster game and my first Heineken Cup game. It was definitely a great atmosphere and SUFTUM is certainly not sectarian. I was taken aback however when they started singing "Swing Low" but I have been assured since that this was a piss take of the Leicester fans!
