then France at 14-0 up already, Ireland's Call or not.

Marchons, marchons!

Ireland's Call is an embarrassment.

Couldn't care one iota about the National Anthem (well maybe I do

), but surely they could have came up with something better than Ireland's Call.

Jesus Danny Boy would have been better

It's true - the French have a very unfair advantage here.

Me and a few lads in the gents in Croke Park at half time in Meath-Tyrone struck up "shoulder to shou-oulder, we'll answer nature's call". Some people laughed.

Not in the slightest my young friend. I just don't like Ireland Call's. Doesn't have to be the National Anthem, just please not Ireland's Call.

Ok, Im prepared to get slated. I like Irelands Call.

Honestly - the verse needs an overhaul, but the chorus...

1.... 2....3..... (All together now)

IRELAND, IRELAND, TOGETHER STANDING TALL...........

The rugger buggers I knew in college - the type who went to all the international matches - liked Ireland's Call. Each to their own

ziggysego · September 21, 2007, 04:54:35 PM

Well since I'm not a rugger, I won't demand they change it.

I don't mind it - I have to say though the French one would get the hairs standing up on your neck

Not a patch on the old Soviet Union anthem though

Puckoon · September 21, 2007, 05:16:51 PM

The french anthem is superb - but my favourite (especially after a few jars) is Flower of scotland.

Was at a Scottish International Football match a few years back against Holland..Never heard anything like Flower Of Scotland before or since it's some song to get the hairs standing up on your neck..
