Agreed Supersub. The Anthem is more than 'just a piece of music', as described in some quarters.

Stay strong. There might even be a little bit of media focus on the All-Ireland final now that the women are out... streaker (Galway) - Posts: 510 - 27/07/2023 17:54:46 2497346 Link 1 |

I know a few have made jokes, but are you seriously telling us that you were part of 'many' pre-match parades for U12 to U16 finals? I've never seen even one at any local club level, from underage to senior. I've been to hundreds of matches at all levels and grades. In which county were these parades for underage finals? I'll be honest, I find it unusual. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2271 - 28/07/2023 11:34:45 2497410 Link 1 |

but nobody respects it enough at GAA grounds to allow it to be played out to the end without shouting and roaring or standing to attention to the end. So its not just another piece of music for 7 of the 9 lines but the last two it is? Either it is or it isn't and it should be respected to the end - if not don't play it.

Things that never happened tend to be unusual.

I remember watching a minor final in Birmingham at Páirc na hÉireann a few years ago, a bloke getting the anthem up on You Tube on his phone and handing it over to yer man for him to hold it up to the microphone, it played a 20 sec ad at the start. dolfos (Longford) - Posts: 128 - 28/07/2023 12:30:47 2497427 Link 3 |

Teams should be instructed as part of the protocol - which is strictly enforced on big days in other ways - not to break rank before the anthem finishes. If teams stay as they are, then the supporters will follow suit. Call me an old fogey but it annoys the bejaysus out of me to see people talking through it. Shows zero awareness of what we are about.

Why bother going, stay to the end and go less often rather than leaving early. Same with Anthem, bit of respect and wait until it's over before roaring and shouting.

It's not that uncommon. We have a pre match parade for county finals here too Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3495 - 28/07/2023 14:32:52 2497462 Link 0 |

For underage County finals?? Never seen it in Donegal, Mayo or Dublin. At senior or underage.

There are times when I could go to war with Croke Park because of their views and attitudes on this, that, and the other, and if I do bring them to task does that make me a lesser gael than the muted member.? So now, I sing my head off at every available opportunity when our National Anthem is being played, sometimes I choke up with heart felt emotions, or totally out of touch with the rest, or can't wait to get on with it. Somewhere in that sentence is the answer to the apparent disrespect to the last two lines of our national anthem. I am quite sure no-good and honest sports minded person goes to a match with the intention of disrespecting our National Anthem. In my view, for what it's worth, - impatience, - anticipation,- excitement, - let's do it, or, the now or never hour is here, all these things and more brings out the best in the real supporter. I'm also sure our National Anthem makes allowances for us imperfect supporters that should know better than to stop short of the last two lines. Apologies if I don't make sense. PS. I'm very sure not many know more than the first verse of our Anthem. To mimic the rest is unacceptable. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3156 - 28/07/2023 21:27:39 2497519 Link 0 |

Most of them emit phonetic sounds much like the words but..... And of course the 1st verse is never played, possibly because it wasn't translated into Gaeilge?.
