Think on it Ummm neither the Fields of Athenry or Stand Up Fight are what you'd call the most rousing songs when you hear them but on the terraces...

Just listened to it. Fair play for him for the effort but......no.

If we're gonna have an anthem then it should be this:

Men of the West by the Clancy brothers (or whomever I think you could get a kickass punk version out it)



Listen to that Chorus!

I give you the gallant old West, boys,
Where rallied our bravest and best
When Ireland lay broken and bleeding;
Hurrah for the men of the West!

Pretty apt considering how the international team is doing as well!

I'll listen to it when I get home. Hope it's not lyrical, a proper sports song needs to be more chanty and less melodic.

I like it but then again I like Spillane's stuff.

Not sure it'll become a supporter's anthem though...

Odd song, sounds more like a lament than call to arms.
Will date pretty quickly too with current players names liberally laced through the song.
But at least he's trying, few enough songs about our wee province and fewer still about our sporting heroes...
