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."]Bit like going to Chapel on Sunday and leaving at communion time. 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."]Bit like going to Chapel on Sunday and leaving at communion time. 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." The ruling is if you are in attendance between the Offertory and the Priests communion then you have fulfilled your obligation."]How many people (including those who perform it before matches) know the actual words? 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?."]I think the bone of contention here is the breaking loose from the parade or letting off a deafening roar with about 2 ish lines of the Anthem left to play. I still say it's not disrespectfully premeditated. I consider the first verse to be the real chorus. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3156 - 29/07/2023 14:55:18 2497583 Link 0 |

Can't get excited over the racing this time of the year. Little interest in flat and jumping only really gets going when the clock goes back. Anything over jumps catch your eye in Galway?

Each to their own I suppose. Give me an evening in Ballinrobe or Sigo ahead of Galway any day.

fair enough. I like Galway but Kilbeggan, Limerick Junction, Gowran anyday over most days of the week of Galway. Crowd at the racing is a good thing though. All too often crowds at smaller meets are just so small its no fun

Ádh Mór do Ciara Mageean in 1500m final. Probably our best chance of a medal. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3427 - 22/08/2023 12:11:56 2501749 Link 6 |

She has an excellent chance of a medal this evening. It looks like there are 4 in the final who will be battling for the medals. Kaczmarek, Paulino, Klaver and Adeleke. Based on form, they appear to be a class apart from the rest. How the medals will fall is anyone's guess. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2271 - 22/08/2023 13:52:58 2501768 Link 0 |

Great run. She was a bit slow to get into her stride but I think she'll learn from that for the final. She ran the same time as Klaver who strolled home in Heat 2. Paulino's PB is sub 49 though so a medal for Adeleke at her age would be an outstanding result.
