Gary Og - The Fields of Athenry

Live at the St. Pauli Celtic Supporters Club Party 2005. In my opinion it's the best version ever.

@TheProvos1888 I didn't know that. Every day is a school day!

Being a Scot who wishes for independance from "them" I can sympathise with the cause of the ira's campaign however, I can't agree with their methods and I believe that the peace talks proved that both sides could, and should have earlier, come to a peaceful agreement.

@TheTollundWoman UK, Spain, and Italy all say that, but there are protests that go in all of those areas that the police and military break up violently. i remember the 1972 shooting of unarmed marchers in Derry, shot by para's from the UK. Police in spain brutally supress Basque protests, and the same happens in Italy regarding Sicilians, they do not tolerate talks of seccesion there or in any of the places I mentioned. Just because they are democracies doesn't mean they listen to everyone.

let the genocide of the Irish people be remembered

I love this song but such a shame the hatred it always seems to cause! I am half English and half Irish and although born in England have a lot of family still in Ireland. Although is getting less common I can't stand the Irish hatred of all English people, particularly young people who have nothing to do with past actions of government and armies! Thank god I am an atheist!!

nice rendition of song.

@TheTollundWoman So instead of allowing the government of Libya to stay in power and just interven to stop the military from attacking civilians, you instead support utter regime change because you believe they want democracy and you don't like dictatorships. Afghanistan doesn't want democracy, they want stability and unity. How do you know supporting a democratic government won't end up with another Mubbarak of Egypt? "Democratically" elected for 30 years?

[degen83]

@TheTollundWoman Why is a dictatorship necessarily bad? What is so great about Democracy, when most of the population is too dumb or "busy" to understand all the issues they are voting on? It is for this reason that there is no such thing as Democracy, the USA and others "democratic" states are Republics, what your vote does is vote in someone else who does know whats going on and votes for you and everyone else in their jurisdiction.

@degen83

Spain, Italy and the UK all have democratically elected governments, with constitutions and/or legal systems gauranteeing basic civil and human rights to their citizens, and all allow protest and dissent. Gaddafi's regime is a military dictatorship, he came to power through a coup d'etat, there are no free elections, and no legal gaurantees of basic rights. that comparison is absurd.

[degen83]

@TheTollundWoman the secret police go around and indiscriminately kidnap civilians and put them in death camps. to maintain power they have to do the same tactics Saddam did; lead by fear. make the people so afraid of you they won't dare attack you.
