The Fields of Athenry at Croke Park

[squirell1952]

aNGLOPHOBIA IS A FEAR of england, why? britanniaphobia is a fear of Scotland, Wales, England,Cornwall, Cumbria and Geordieland. WHY?

England will never recolonised us so why are we afraid of them? If SHE had not colonised us, Wales or Scotland would have. and if THEY had not colonised us, WE WOULD HAVE COLONIZED THEM. IT WAS THE AGE OF EMPIRE. But we still retain our persecution complex and do NOTHING to rid ourselves of it. We are afraid of change. hat is why a lot of can be THICK at times

[brokenglassesshaner]

@squirell1952 what the fuck are u on about??

[squirell1952]

Lough Derg should be renamed EITHER Loch Darrig or Red Lake. donegal is teer connell, tyrone is teer owen, bray is Bree Coolin, Killiney is killnick layneen, Ennistymon is innish deemawn, galway is golliv, westmeath is earvee, louth is Onlew, meath is Navee, sligo means NOTHING but shliggock means Shelly River Town, THE LIST IS ENDLESS. GO OVER IT.

[squirell1952]

The correct name for Athenry, which has no meaning WHATSOEVER, is

Blaw On Ree and it means The King's Ford. So the fields of athenry should really be sung as THE FIELDS OF THE KING'S FORD. Or even The fields of blaw on ree. How can we revive our half dead Irish Lingo if we don't know how to pronounce our place names PROPERLY?? If your name is Fred, it is not John. If yourname is Suzy, it is not Nellie. SO WHY IS BLAW ON REE CALLED ATHENRY? Dublin is DUVlin, Belfast is Bayle Fersty and so on.

[bradleys9]

shame on the gaa..last time them bastard scum were in the park they were in an armoured car

[shanedlfc]

Nofatman. Where u at the italy math that enden 3-3 that was sum match and sum atmosphere! Cant beat a good owld english trashin do :)

[Nugget12421]

Croker is a million times better than the Aviva! Should be the permanent home of Irish sport!

[HHHGaming]

@Nugget12421 it could of been but they left it too late with their offer and by the time they had adapted to the idea the aviva was half built

[JS500Y]

I wish going to sport games in the US was more like this

[Thrawn6211]

@JS500Y Obviously, you've never been to an Auburn or Alabama game, we don't sing songs, but we go pretty damn crazy.

[nofatman]

best ever was ireland vs italy at croker in the world cup quailfiers,rugby cant match a soccer matchs atompshere

[murph277v]

its sung the best in thomand,ask chabal!

[RSPproductionz]

fuck me croke park is huge kinda disapointing going to rugby games now in the shitty aviva

[mtneilly221]

anybody else feel a swell of pride and love for Ireland when watching a rugby match and the crowd starts to sing Fields of anthenry?

And then the song wont leave ya for a couple of days if ya win and your still on a high from it

Love that feelin

[KingGale]

This gave me shivers. I love the song, but to hear twenty thousand people sing it in unison is better than any version I have heard.

[captkirkconnell]

someone likes football - really like it think you have enough spectators? 

[ryanair737400]

i was working there when we played wales and ive never heard it so clear it really does give you goose bumps when you hear a full croke park stadium singing this not all since they are welsh supporters but most

[aranterranting]

If he lived in Athenry and was starving, why didnt he try fishing? Its on the bloody coast

[cluch9]

@aranterranting

werent allowed to fish, army boys patrolled much of the coast

[aranterranting]

@cluch9 Absolute bollocks.I dont know why you believe this republican propaganda,its so obviously made up.

[cluch9]

@aranterranting

a population of 6 million people living solely off of one food source, one that does not provide enough nutrition to support a large population, the potato

[MsJCBurke]

@aranterranting Because the Landlords owned the shorelines too.

[BlackIrish1916]

always good to here it sung in a brillant irish stadium

[rigesto]

just impressive!!!!!!! i could record my own video at croke park this year as well

[123adam321mcnally123]

sung with no passion at ALL.Watch a Celtic video of the fans singing the fields

[nofatman]

@123adam321mcnally123...d soccer fans sing it wit passion

[123adam321mcnally123]

yes theres dancing and clapping of hands song sung from the heart

[curlyies]

@123adam321mcnally123 yea that vid {celitic feilds of anthenry} has it being played over loud speakers u knob this vid is a pure chant, celtic fans dnt even know how it goes.

[123adam321mcnally123]

@curlyies Dont call me a knob this is so fucking boring boring and the fucking sport is terrible so shut the fuck up

[curlyies]

@123adam321mcnally123 rugby is terrible? just search soccor is gay , see what comes up, nothing personal just football players are degenerate diving cry babies who get payed too much and by the looks of those vids their "bond" is just asalive off the pitch as on.

[123adam321mcnally123]

@curlyies Rugby is gay. Men piling on each other for a ball. Yes im sure there nothing more heterosexual than piling on a man and digging through him to try and get a ball he probably holding next to his balls

[IrishandProud4eva]

@123adam321mcnally123 have u ever played the sport ? no u havent cause ur a little pussy to scared to get hurt. Soccer is one of the most faggotity sports there is. Its just a bunch of homos jumping on the ground and then they start crying so the can get a penalty. Now whats so manly about that u little woman?

[TheCathycorr]

@IrishandProud4eva<<<< nothing proud about using the words faggotity, homos, pussy and litle woman???? your mum and dad must be so proud that they have raised a racist ignoramus...being proud to be irish isnt about putting other people down just because they are different than you or hav different opinions,,,its agreeing to disagree and respecting others opinion...and rising above insults...when wil you Neanderthals ever evolve and get this?????

[meath4life]

@IrishandProud4eva well said! ive played rugby and gaelic all my life but i wasn't man enouh for the hurling so i gave it up lol

[Eoghan121awe]

@IrishandProud4eva now that's too far I have absolutely nothing against rugby but soccer is the beautiful game that's loved by millions of people around the world and brings hope to community's around the planet, don't disrespect anything with that kind of power

[XZXTHELEGENDXZX]

@123adam321mcnally123 U know sweet fuck all mate , Fields of athenry is sung the best from irish rugby fans , not fuckin celtic

[123adam321mcnally123]

@XZXTHELEGENDXZX HAHAHAHAHA

[rhart49]

@XZXTHELEGENDXZX You guys sing it the way us Aussies sing waltzing matilda when the Wallabys play. Don't get me wrong I am a Celtic supporter as well, had a mate from Glascow get me into them, but the Irish do sing it better. Though they probably should as it's their song. The Wild Rover always sounds good too no matter where it's sung.

[newnoise182]

as a celtic fan, it is great to hear this without the silly add on's like the version we usually hear at celtic park

also in amhran na bhfiann, people shouting god bless the pope? what has the pope got to do with the irish national anthem

does my head in

[MDHMAN4]

Athenry is in galway

[Mrdede1998]

@MDHMAN4 so is ur mum

[meath4life]

@Mrdede1998 terrible comeback

[matthewdfk]

@MDHMAN4 well done how did you figure that out :L

[Lynnch1]

@MDHMAN4 because of mick galway???

[sturmreiter777]

fuck!! europeans know really how to sing... greetings from mexico

[pramseyer]

Irish... The rest of europe hasn't a clue

[wingforward7]

What a stadium!!!!

[mindstatepurple]

its "spelled"  retards, not "spelt"

[ytorrejone]

In fact the 2 spellings are correct.

[mindstatepurple]

Correct me if Im wrong, heres a sentence, you decide if it's correct...

Some people think rugby was spelt "ruby" a long time ago. ...next one...

Some people think rugby was spelled "ruby" a long time ago.

Go back to school.

[ytorrejone]

A Yank. I should have known.Just because you spell it one way doesn't mean the rest of the world is wrong.You've got a bad enough image as it is without pulling this shit.Take her handy now!

[mindstatepurple]

A Dusche, I should have known.

Nice. Play the, " Im foreign, I can't stand Americans" card. Take you're screwed up point of view and shove it. Have you ever even been to America? And if you have, you've probably been to one city. Shut your shiut up. You supposedly know so many languages, God forbit someone keep you accountable to one.

Piss off, wank.

[ytorrejone]

Funny that this started off as a spelling slag competition.You've really let yourself slip(your-shit-forbid).I love winding up yanks,it's so easy.Por que no te vas a chupar la polla de tu mama gilipollas.Traite moi de conne de pouffiasse de pute a la limite mais pas de penis....si ca se trouve t'en a un toi meme alors tu vien de t'insulter.Hahahaha.

[mindstatepurple]

Dear ytorrejone... Verruga de la vagina,

Uw papa zei hij van u hield, maar zwoor het snel was

En uw mamma zei het ook, enkel met haar mond op mijn dick

So, wenn Schwester ein Gesicht bildet und meinen Hahngeschmack wie Scheiße sagt

Son parce que j'ai baisé vous dernier vous n'oubliez pas jamais.

lol thanks for inviting me to dinner, but dont think you're getting lucky :)

[Volksgrenadier2006]

Stop using online translators, those things have never worked. And you aren't fooling anyone.

[mindstatepurple]

@Volksgrenadier2006

Wow. Thanks for chiming in 7 months later. And don't log into your monny's account and post stuff. Your 7 year old ass isn't fooling anyone. Your opinion is useless.

[Volksgrenadier2006]

What?

O I see,

"Uw papa zei hij van u hield, maar zwoor het snel was

En uw mamma zei het ook, enkel met haar mond op mijn dick"

Its just that you probably haven't got a clue how much those sentences hurt my eyes!

I have used online translators sometimes myself, and the grammar is always awefull in any language.

I didn't know you were trying that hard and get offended that easily. Though I can't see where your current attitude comes from.

[Volksgrenadier2006]

btw how did you know I was 7 and using my, what I presume to be meant as, mommy's account?

[mindstatepurple]

@Volksgrenadier2006

Im sorry I hurt your eyes. I was only going for a grammatical insult. I didn't mean to go physical. But take some advice, ok? Dont come on YouTube with such sensitive eyes, ok Sweety? I dont want you getting hurt again :)

[Volksgrenadier2006]

Thanks but no thanks. You opened my eyes to the fact that we live in a world with many ignorant egocentric rednecks so I guess Ill have to deal with it.

[loopstheloop]

? Seriously?

No idea who you are, but, seriously?

[mindstatepurple]

yes, no idea who you are, but yes.

Have you found any other old news that blows your mind? move on, brother.

[loopstheloop]

Nah, brush up on your grammar and spelling, mate. You're looking foolish.

[andyotgcc]

rugby much better....and its spelt rugby not ruby..so get your facts right haha!!!

[andyotgcc]

what you mean rugby is crap ye cock muncher....rugby is better than football and is growing into the biggest sport in ireland....so tick it up your ass you loser,anyway the irish football team are shite...and its spelt rugby not ruby...dickhead!!!

[futurearmyboy111]

The Irish are a perfectly good football team, that will be going to south africa and in case ya havnt noticed football is the bigest sport on the planet mate, so i woudnt be running it down, both sports are class, Ireland for the six nations :) Ireland for twh world cup next year.......................

[ThomasIRL95]

Does anyone know when landsdown road is open?

[gmcfc]

next august ruby is crap at least when the football team are playing away they still play the irish anthem

[0wn4g3SPECIALIST]

hmm you must be gay

[RugbyPredictions]

And where are the soccer team going hmm ?

Never Seen them in any world cups recently ? They're not even in the top twenty best international teams ! rugby However , We had a bad year last year , 6th in the world ?!

Get the Drift ?

[raidz06]

at least u guys have a chance of winning a rugby world cup. Maybe you should make all touring teams play at thomond park and make the munster starting xv the ireland team... who knows with that crowd belting out fields of athenry you could very well be unbeatable! rugby's the greatest game on earth... not necessarily the most popular but the greatest.

[XZXTHELEGENDXZX]

Soccer : shit

[garymc1989]

cause u hear that being sung very often at ireland soccer matches? Ya dont even hear it at celtic matches!

[stephenogrady67]

CROKE PARK NUMBER 5 BIGGEST IN EUROPE

[mheaney]

I love the fields of athenry but it just doesn't seem right at croke park. Its only sung at rugby or soccer games and you never hear it at gaelic or hurling matches so saying rugbys only been in croker a year it just seems weird hearing it in croker which probably sounds stupid saying its an irish song in such an irish stadium

[TheHolyGoalie1888CFC]

The Fields is probably most appropriate in Croke Park against England, no? Tiocfaidh ar la

[mheaney]

most appropriate song to sing against england at a rugby match yea but im just not used to hearing the fields in croke park which is weird considering there both so irish but the Fields has always been used for soccer and rugby and thats why it doesn't seem right at croke park

[greenbhoy87]

haha well said

[BessenOlli]

I love you, Ireland.

[2k7duffy2k7]

croke park is one of the biggest in europe

[qayxsw34]

what a small arena ! XD

[metallica0019]

magners leauge = leinster

european champs = munster

6 nations 09 = ireland

[XZXTHELEGENDXZX]

yaaaaaaaaaa! Cmon IReland !

[COLWYN1]

stop being bitter u cunt

[macleod1690]

couldnt agree more. No need for that typical irish vile bigotry, that they have taken all over the world

[dontwondwatucantkill]

comon the irish
