Post by: deiseach on February 21, 2007, 03:40:09 PM
Plenty of people do it, judging by the decibel level

No one admits to doing it

Now's your chance to 'fess up

Could you change the reason for not doing it on the poll? I always wait to the end but it has nothing to do with 800 years of tyranny - it's just out of respect. I can wait a few seconds longer before I start roaring my head off for 70 minutes.

I sing the anthem. it would be a bit on the mental side to sing it all then on the last line let a big 'yeeeeeaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhh'
outta me

I have just more respect for the National Anthem than that!

I would imagine most of the folk on this board are real GAA fans. Therefore I'd wager that there'll be an overwhelming vote for "no" as all the premature roaring and shouting is usually done by the bandwagon, beer swilling, straw hat brigade that every county has; people who have never heard of nor visited this site.

I always used to do it, it was something I grew up doing, I have wained from doing it this past few years but back in the day when Armagh played 1 or 2 championship a year ye were reved up like nothing ordinary and went buck mad near the end of the anthem.

Also were has the tradition of flag waving gone. I know its a nuisance for viewing games but always loved the look of it on TV.

I think it's very disrespectful to cheer before the end, always annoys me. I usually attend the home soccer games as well and it's always sang until the end at those. I always find it a bit embarrasing that respect is shown for it at soccer matches but not at GAA matches!

I do it. Its all part of the anticipation and the excitement of the occasion for me, and it seems to be tradition. Personally I get a real buzz when the roar goes up, with only seconds till throw in. I don't see anything wrong with it.

I hate it when people sing before the end ,it's disrespectfull and anyone that does it is ignorant.The Anthem isn't played for our entertainment it's our identity as a nation.You don't hear Scottish fans doing it before the end of Flower of Scotland or Welsh fans before the end of Land of our Fathers,they sing their anthem with pride and passion till the end and not turn it into who can be heard the most before the end of it

I always wait to the end of the Anthem, before I cheer. For the same reasons as Charlie Linkbox, respect for the Anthem. However, it doesn't annoy me if others cheer. Has Paddy Heaney says, it's the way things are.

Must have missed some thread here!

If you're talking about jeering "God Save the Queen", that's hardly the same thing as the traditional, albeit premature, cheer at the climax of Amhrain na bFhiann, now is it?

I think that people cheer (and when I say people, I mean in the main younger elements in the crowd, and probably older with a few jars in them) simply because the actual last two lines of Amhrán na bhFiann from a melody perspective lends itself to it. 

Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar (A big pause, tension mounting etc etc)
(Then with gusto)Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

I personally have no problems with people cheering, I don't think those that do disrespect anyone or anything and to me the cheer always gives me a shiver as battle is about to commence.  As for The Real Laoislads comment "I hate it when people sing before the end ,it's disrespectfull and anyone that does it is ignorant", cop yourself on FFS.

Typical from sureyouwill and very predictable but you come to expect it from him.

Anyways on your point that the Anthem lends itself to the atmosphere and builds up the crowd and tension near the end,you have a fair point here,don't agree however it's just the younger crowd who shout and sing before the end as many grown men who should know better also provide us with premature shouting.If these people want to sing and shout so much they should go out and learn the Anthem and sing it with pride like the Scots and Welsh and god forbid even the Americans and the English for that matter
As i've said in a previous thread i think the Ulster County fans are by far the best at respecting the Anthem

I stand to attention and sing the Anthem with pride, then cheer when the singings done, all this shite about cheering before the end being tradition is bollox, people cheer before the end of the singing of the anthem to be heard first, almost like a race, we'll show them that we'll be the first to cheer and loudest (these peoples attitude is fcuk the anthem - i want to be heard first!!!).

Sorry for the rant but the attitudes of "oh it's ok cause it's tradition" wind me up. I actually don't get to hung up on the cheering on matchdays as i'm to busy singing with pride and enjoying myself! ;)

A bit of counselling you need lad, first you create multiple personalities to chat to yourself, then you get blocked and delete one of a night, then you accuse me of guessing you password and "stealing" you're account, now you're about to have a nervous breakdown because when people go to football matches they actually enjoy themselves, some even go mad and get a bit noisy towards the end of the National Anthem, God forbid – chill pills lad, chill pills!

I find that northern teams and supporters respect the anthem at matches moreso than the 26 county counterparts, in general. The Armagh/Tyrone 2003 final was a prime example of this.
Title: Re: Cheering before the end of Amhrán na bhFiann
Post by: realredhandfan on February 22, 2007, 01:51:06 PM
I agree, like it or not, the Northerners had to fight for their right to be Irish citizens and therfore take greater pride in the Irish symbolism whilst the Southereners possibly dont place the same emphasis or pride on their national colours.  To some its a weakness to others its a strength and to others it dosent matter one little bit.

You never know whether o'Neill is stirring or not but he is correct on this one. Before the Tyrone/Armagh All-Ireland final there was little or no cheering before the end of the anthem.

A rugby alickadoo friend of mine who was at the French match, told me that a fella behind him said as the anthem started – "give it everything lads and lets show the GAA boys we can do it better than them". They did, in fairness.

I promise my couldn't-care-less attitude to anthems is not coloured by this, but the only time I ever was barred out of any place was over the anthem. It was the O'Rahillys GAA clubhouse in Drogheda (years ago). When the anthem was being played, one of our company was too drunk to stand up. When it was over, a fella came over, who was a local provo (which I knew) and a top class boxer (which I didn't know) and took my friend to task in fairly uncouth terms. I invited him to depart, in equally uncouth terms, to which he responded by flooring me with a sweet right hook to the jawbone. I bounced up fairly quick and took a swing at him, which he ducked and popped me again on the exact same spot, and down I go again. When I got up this time, my mates did me the favour of dragging me away and out and home. TKO, I suppose, would be the official result.

I called in the next night, only to be told I was barred – for being floored twice, presumably! Or maybe for having a glass jaw. Or probably because they'd have to bar somebody and the provo might be a problem. Anyway it was red card for me and I don't think he even got a ticking. The fact that I was from Meath and he was an O'Rahillys member had nothing to do with it, I'm sure

It's the only time I was ever involved in a barroom brawl and the only time I ever lost an argument with a provo, though in fairness it was also the only time I ever physically engaged with physical force 'republicanism'.

To those here who would love to chin me if they got the chance, please feel free to take vicarious pleasure in this story.

ahhhh But you will be joining them for their protest at the Rugby match on Saturday???
i understand those GAA members in the 6 counties have suffered greatly at the hands of those who are represented by that GSTQ anthem,so i can sympathise with your position.
i dont think the creation of trouble though,which is bound to happen with the Ned hanger-ons that will appear will help your cause though.

Great news!  I just got a ticket!  Now I will be able to show the standard courtesy and respect to which GSTQ isentitled in person.  Then sing our national anthem at the top of my voice all the way through just as I was proud and priviliged to do at Lansdowne Road in 1973 when the RFU showed themselves to be true friends of Ireland & Irish Rugby. I will sing it just as I always have at AIFs, UFs, MFs, CFs, Rugby Internationals & Soccer Internationals.  I detest Irelands Call but accept it as people of a different viewpoint also play for the team.  Its called maturity and being grown up.

It would appear True Ulster Gaels vision of Ireland is one in which we all work togeather blowing up our neighbour.  Should he or any one else be protesting outside I will show my contempt for them and their lunatic fringe views by ignoring them.  Thank God most of us have moved on

Reserving the right to cause havoc while absolving yourself of any responsibility in advance. Where have we heard that before?

If anything does happen a la the Love Ulster riot last year, I hope the gardai don't spare the batons.

As opposed to your amazing retort calling me a tosser, please the baton of legend must really be handed to yourself.  :o If jumped up pounces like you and laoislad would take their heads out of their arses, you would see that no one is deliberately being disrespectful to Ireland when they cheer at the last line of the national anthem, in fact I doubt the majority of supports have a tear in their eye as it is played thinking of past wrongs and hardships, that does not mean however that every single person there does not have pride in their county and their country, now dry your eyes.  People are at matches to enjoy themselves, to unwind, to get away from mundane everyday life, to cheer on their county team, if over exuberance is taken as ignorance it's just another example of political correctness gone mad, but then again there will always be muppets who look for ways to be offended.

True Ulster Gael,

Your inflammatory posts have attracted more reports than anyone since the great Flameboy saga. Please tone down the political stuff, and take it to the Non-GAA section as well.

It's obvious you are on a wind up mission, but if these statements continue escalating, you'll go the way of the late, not-lamented Flameboy.

Thanks

my opinion about cheering took alot of slagging but that is what thoese heros died for, to give you the right to slag me or any one else with out fear or favour
not so someone could tell you to stay quiet while some one is singing a song.
Live free and die free there are much  better things to worry about  in between when we have solved all the inequlities in ireland then i stay chanting a soldier's song till the end.
