I can honestly say that I used to hate the Irish as a kid for some stupid reason. Probably because I was made fun of primarily by Irish kids as a kid so I blamed it on the whole nationality but by growing up I can finally see that those kids, who were complete idiots did not truely portray how Irish people are and now, I like you guys. You're pretty cool and typical Irish people are hard working, respectful folk
@nicholam100 You are a common English idiot who I hate not because you don't like this song but because you are English. Since I have learned the history between Ireland and England, I have always hated the English for what ye did us.
@Keeeogh Depends which biased version of history you read. Anyway, I like Ireland and England and because England's so cosmopolitan these days, what are you actually hating? Let it go fella, you'll feel much better.
@jwgeezer Well they don't teach it over in England they just know they conquered Ireland and the we became a republic. I take if from the fella bit you are Irish?
@Keeeogh I've got Irish parents but they are ambivalent towards past relations between Ireland and England as am I. I used to be obsessed by Irish history although less so now. Anyway, my parents and lots of other Irish people came to live in England so it proves relations are better than those that want to perpetuate the old wounds would suggest. Personally, I regard myself as English but I like Ireland also.
@jwgeezer I could easily call myself English as my mother is English though I'm growing up in Ireland. People went to live in England for many reasons such as work, family but if you were to check when most people went to England it would have been during the time of the Famine. But my point is nationally we are looked down upon by the English. eg, Fifa tried to set up a tournament for England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland, that didn't go through as England didn't want to play with us.
@Keeeogh It's not like that atall, it really isn't. England is a lot different now. As regards football, the reason was because the season now starts earlier and finishes later than it used to plus the self-interest from clubs. International football also means a lot less now. England and Ireland are both great countries.
Ireland is one of the greatest nations on earth. Im not sayin that because I was born and raised here, but because its just....youd have to actually be here to see what i mean. aye, a natural born son of beautiful Mother Ireland, thats what we are
Born of mixed Catholic and Proddy blood, raised in both Norn Irn and England, with with best part of my life spent as an adult in the USA where the old bullsh1t does not matter. I'm glad to be out of it.... "Amhrán..." has righteous anger, "God save the [Monach]" has solemnit. Sometime soon, perhaps, we can realise that we have more in common than we have to disagree about.
2 be in the fianna u had to recite 12 books of poetry and run through a forrest with people throwing swords at u and u only have shield and if u broke a twig u wouldnt get in
Hmmm, well, no. Fianna were young men pre-900 a.d. who were waiting to inherit their parent's land, or committed vendetta and were outside the local town/law. They hunted, played sports, drank, etc. If brigands came to attack their town, they defended it. Around 1200, after the church got rid of the fianna, all the individual fianna merged in the people's collective consciousness into one group, led by Fionn mac Cumhaill. Fianna were not soldiers. Call them heroes, or warriors, or something else
What's going on with all of the web pages that say, "Sinne Fianna Fáil"= soldiers? What's up with tis? The fianna were fianna, not soldiers. There's a massive difference. What's going on here?
When growing up I used to converse loosly in Gaelic with my mum, who learnt it at school when she was a child. But unfortunately, as is such with many abilities, if you don’t use it you lose it. :(
@SupremeJen13 Bull shit. You "have" agad it. It's like riding a bicycle. Lucy Gillies hadn't spoken it since she she was a child, but when interviewed by Ken Nilsen when she was 80, she stammered a bit, but got it out. GET IT OUT!!! Dia Dhuit.
I 'copied and pasted' the words on a document. I appreciate the English words. My ancestory, and heart are Irish. But I can't speak Gaelic. I love this song!
I was in Ireland in '98. Not long enough, I hope to return to the land of my people.
I am Irish and gay and proud!

@AndyHirt If I recall the Fianna were more or less all killed in one battle way before 1200 in fact pre Patrick.

@AndyHirt the fianna were the closest thing Ireland had to standing army, that is why the irish army uses the word.
