SOmething to help the atmosphere at games (Segregation)

armaghniac · July 04, 2011, 02:56:11 PM

Derry fans segregate themselves. They stay in Derry when the game is in Clones!

No singing/chanting is because there is always plenty of action. You dont hear tehm chanting a soccer games when someone is clean through on goal. Just basically when it is getting passed around the middle, thow in, corners, free kicks, were they take forever to hit. So basically quite alot! Mind you with the way Donegal are developing the game, there might be alot more chanting

"One nil to the Donegal, One nil to the Donegal"

What happened to the air horns anyway? I didn't notice they were gone until you mentioned it.

Weren't they banned or that? Think it says on tickets that they aren't allowed in?

The late 80's they were hundreds of them at games.

I like the 'Mayo, Mayo, Mayo, Mayo' chant (when we're on a roll during a good game). Apart from that, this is the most pointless discussion I've read on this board.

Never heard them sing that before.

Have to hand it to the Clare fans for getting around the problem of having a single-syllable name. They get the bodhrans out and go "Dum-dum-dum dum dum Dum-dum-dum dum dum Dum-dum-dum dum dum - dum CLARE!"

Me-id! Me-id! Me-id! Me-id! Me-id!

They do that occasionally alright, but they also do that brutal two syllable version. Clay-Air.

When Offaly are going well, scarce at this stage, with a big crowd (even scarcer), the chant Uibh Fhaili, Uibh Fhaili is good. It's like a crowd of Zulus or something.

No to segregation, a stupid stupid thought btw...............................

Hill 16 is open to all counties, its a shame more country folk dont venture in and sample the atmosphere, I wonder why so many county managers always say how they appreciate the atmosphere dublin fans bring the games

Orourke, brolly and spillane are always complementing the atmosphere when dublin play......................mcstay up yer hole

Nothing like "C'mon Meyoooo," with "for f**k sake" as an optional extra, to get my pulse racing.

My favourite song, which still gets sung today, is the Ollie Murphy song. It goes like this... Ollie Murphy, Ollie Murphy, Ollie Ollie Murphy, he's got no hair but we don't care, Ollie Ollie Murphy

1.Considering you are an Ulster man ffs your teams love to pass it around the middle. Donegal fans would be horse coming from every game.

2.As far the poster who said meeting other county fans is what makes the day, ffs that says a lot about the standard of the match or at least your county. What makes the day is going with your friends to the match and seeing your county win or at least play a good game not making small talk to culchie strangers.

3.There seems to be an even split for those for and against the motion, i hope it is something brought forward at congress.
