Come on Tyrone!!
Umm . . . with whom?
Oh, I see. Sports!
Well, good luck to the both of them!
Dubhlinn, this reminds me of something that has had me wondering for a while. Whenever we go to see the Dubs, Paddy does his ‘Fields of Athenry’ as you’d expect. Whenever he does it at the Irish venues the audience do a kind of terrace chant between the phrases he sings. I can never quite hear if they’re just repeating the lines or if there’s something else going on. I’m guessing the song is used as a sporting anthem as Paddy always grins and obviously knows what’s afoot…
Last time we were at the Gaeity the audience were making a hell of a racket.
Any chance of enlightening me?
when the final whistle blows, the boys in gold&green will win the game by honest play 
there’s only two Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of kerry!
as the other 33 years before, the Kingdom will bring Sam home 
They’re just trying to break into the Dropkick Murphy’s version of Athenry, that’s all… 
GO ON TYRONE, YOURE ON YOUR OWN!!
hmmmm?
the nearest Cavan will get for a while! :roll:
So i think ill shout for a fellow Ulster team!
KERRY FOR BUTTER, TYRONE FOR SAM!
Buddhu,
“The Fields…” as become an anthem for Glasgow Celtic supporters worldwide. One of my brother in laws goes to Celtic Park a couple of times a season and tells me that it is some experience to be stood amongst thirty thousand plus fans waving their flags and singing the song.The other crowd - Rangers - have developed a series of replies which are not fit for posting here.
Somewhere along the line the Celtic fans deceided to get their own retorts in between the lines and it has gone on from there.
A variation I recall seeing somewhere is after the second line of the chorus all the women shout out “Hey Baby, watch the free birds fly”.
I’ll make some enquires in Dublin next week and let you know what I come up with.
Slan,
D.
A good deal of the pub bands here throw that in too. I also heard it from a folk band in Ulster… somewhere.
The only song in here on Sunday will be “The Rose of Tralee”
Kerry are unstoppable, get your money down soon!
Slan,
D.
, i bet you a fiver the Kingdom will triumph 
you’re a wise man Dubh, but there’s at least half a dozen more song about football in Kerry.
“Now lift your voices loud and clear
“The Sam Maguire is won
“Since first we conquered in 03
“We now have 33
“We have brave men all tried and true
“As we had in days of yore
“And three cheers will give for the gallant men
“Who wear the green and gold.”
or our own darling coleen the Rose of Chiarraí.
“She will tell you of deeds done, of fields far and yonder, of trophies won for her far over the sea.
How O’Keeffe and Murt Kelly, Tadghie Lyon and the Landers brought pride to the heart of the Rose of Chiarraí.
“She will also relate a team that was mighty - Joe Barrett and Sheehy, McGearailt from Sneem. O’Sullivan, Con Brosnan, Paul Russell and Whitty, you’ll never have better for the Rose of Chiarraí.
“Then with tears in her eyes, she will praise Dick Fitzgerald, the darlingest footballer who ever was seen
Austin Stack and Tom Ashe, brave martyrs for Ireland. You’ll never have better for the Rose of Chiarraí.”
i hope it’ll be a fair and exciting game
Cheers, mate. It’s been driving me mad every time I hear it!
I’ll have to be rooting for Kerry, as I spend all my holidays there! Our son-in-law is from the North, but what he doesn’t know…
