Cheshowl Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd never sing anything affiliated with the scousers, end of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apswfcowl Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 To be honest, I love to hear it simply because the tune is so good and I bet its awesome to hear it live. That said, wouldn't want to sing it solely because its Liverpool, and Celtic and Irelands. With that you get the ridiculous political and religious connotations, rightly or wrongly. So yeah, not sure where I'm going with this. No to fields of athenry, yes to an original stirring new song for us. Would sound great imo but not going to happen so I'd go with this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthinrob Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 we need a stirring local song about shutting down 12" mill and pits and rising like a phoenix to once more hold our heads high and march forward together with pride ...........anyone know one ? Stick a statue of Fvckin Arthur Scargill in front of the kop while we're at it!!!! We need a song that's spontaneous and not invented/written specially. We need a song that's straight to the point and catchy. We need a song that you can't stop singing humming 2 days after the match. We need a song that gets everyone going. We need a song that you don't only sing, you jump about to. We need a song that even the South Stand can remember and join in. We need a song that's ours and only ours. Created by us, sung by us and no one else. Hang on, what about this one. IF YOU'RE NOT FVCKIN BOUNCING YOU'RE A BLADE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fedor Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 As you may have heard, ireland fans won an award for their MASSIVE support at the euros. For me one of the best things at the tournament was 1000's of them singing fields of athenrye, and I thought with liverpool having their version, could we have ours, I dunno but summat like.... ''Terry Curran on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing'' just to start I bet you are one of those English men who celebrate St Patricks day and Ignore St Georges Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OasisOwl72 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Detest that dirge with an absolute passion. Leave it to the Irish and the Scousers. Ditto richowls. Worse idea for a song ever. Luckily the vast majority here concur. Never has nor ever will be a Wednesday song. Let the Irish, Celtic and Scousers have their own song love in. Can't stand YNWA either. In conclusion, NO NO and NO! Edited July 2, 2012 by OasisOwl72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReadingOwl Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 why has my earlier post been deleted? unless this forum is for IRA sympathisers (an illegal terrorist paramilitary organisation who stand against this country and our monarch), I fail to see what offence would be caused by my comment. Whoever deleted it please explain. Rather simplistic IMO. Ireland has a rather complicated history. I am a Republican too. But it didn't offend me.

bigthinrob Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yes it does: By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl callingMichael they are taking you awayFor you stole Trevelyn's cornSo the young might see the morn.Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.Chorus Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly.Our love was on the wingwe had dreams and songs to singIt's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.By a lonely prison wallI heard a young man callingNothing matters Mary when you're free,Against the Famine and the CrownI rebelled they ran me downNow you must raise our child with dignity. Chorus By a lonely harbour wallShe watched the last star fallingAs that prison ship sailed out against the skySure she'll wait and hope and prayFor her love in Botany BayIt's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.Chorus I'd have no fvckin chance with that. Can't even get the 'bouncing' song right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FanthamOfTheOpera Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 A song that supports the IRA...!!!! You'll be be singing on your own.... No Surrender How can a song about the Famine of the 1850s be about an organisation which didn't exist until the 1910s? If you're going to write reactionary sectarian gonads at least get your history straight you spanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Its like saying why not have our own versions of you'll never walk alone, I'm forever blowing bubbles , 10 men went to mow and greasy chip butty? Other teams songs, leave them alone! I'm sure in the 80s we did sing a version of "one man went to mow" i remember it causing a bit of bother cos it was a Chelsea song and I seem to remember a "knick knack paddywack" song too that ended in "we hate Chelsea, feck off home" ah the good old days when Chelsea were our rivals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulixifer Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Yes it does. Court rulings have established its a folk song. 23 lines of text and all you can cite is "against the crown" totally out of context. You also never hear the full version sung. People sing the Chours at games. Edited July 2, 2012 by Pulixifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
