Up for the match

[ballinaman]

You have to love the enthusiasm of the backing singers.

Apart from one lad in the centre

My favourite 'Up for the match' moment!

Them were the days when Liam Ó Murchú as Trom agus Éadrom presented the show!

I have to confess the missis is from Mayo - and one day I was slagging her off (bit 'o' banter, wha'?) about some of the denizens of her native county. To which she replied "You haven't seen the best of it yet" and downloaded that song for me on youtube.

It caused a rift in the courtship, let me tell you. I had a long, dark night of the soul after that.

Yer man who sings it, Tom Tom Denning, is apparently some messer.

This is the type of thing that would go 'viral' worldwide if it came out nowadays.

[AZOffaly]

Did you see the Tipperary Rap one?

[Jinxy]

No, but I can imagine how awesome it is.

[AZOffaly]

No, but I can imagine how awesome it is.

Even worse than that.

I think it deserves to be a virus.

I think Mick Byrne was there in the hat. He did very well to keep his face off the TV. I'd say they grabbed a few lads at closing time and told them they were in the group.

It's a wonder there hasn't been a dance remix yet.

Farr,

You most likely deserve a Yellow or even a Black card for starting this thread.
Back at work today, could not resist the temptation of once again clicking on the link. Did anybody watch it long enough to see the eegits in the audience waving Mayo flags. Oh btw, I am now humming the ffin thing.

It'd make a great ringtone.

Spoiler tag please

An absolute classic, one of those songs that has really stood the test of time.

No surprise that some of the uncouth philistines on here don't see the raw beauty and power in such a piece

[seafoid]

Did anyone in that audience understand the agony that awaited over the next 20 years ?
