Replying To foreveryoung: "2018 rather!" "Dreams" is a great song, for sure. I know it's a Cranberries song but is there any reference to Limerick in the lyrics? midlands (Westmeath) - Posts: 541 - 19/03/2023 10:52:32 2464650 Link
Replying To 5plus9: "Clare- Rose of Clare Westmeath- the Westmeath bachelor Galway- N17 Offaly- The Offaly Rover Kerry- the wild goat song Cork - after all Limerick- dreams Donegal- hills of Donegal Derry- teenage kicks by the undertones Mayo - Green and red of mayo Meath - beautiful Meath Kilkenny- rose of moonicon Louth - something from the corrs Down - star of the County Down Longford- stop the world and let me off by Declan nearney" 'Stop the World and let me off'. Think that might be a hit with the DUP. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1735 - 19/03/2023 11:26:35 2464656 Link
Replying To midlands: ""Dreams" is a great song, for sure. I know it's a Cranberries song but is there any reference to Limerick in the lyrics?" No. The Cranberries singer RIP, was a Limerick woman. Dolores O'Riordan I believe. We're the band from Limerick? thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1735 - 19/03/2023 11:47:59 2464662 Link
Replying To midlands: ""Dreams" is a great song, for sure. I know it's a Cranberries song but is there any reference to Limerick in the lyrics?" The singer, Limerick fans sing Limerick your a lady and Sean South alot more. cityman73 (Limerick) - Posts: 775 - 19/03/2023 16:21:13 2464784 Link
Replying To Doylerwex: "I would 100% associate Sean South with Limerick lads on a terrace. Always serious craic!" Fully agree. cityman73 (Limerick) - Posts: 775 - 19/03/2023 16:21:53 2464786 Link
Replying To foreveryoung: "On the 4 occasions that Limerick has lifted the Liam McCarthy Cup since 1918, it has always been Dreams that has blared out across Croke Park, and thankfully not Limerick You're a Lady. If you weren't at any of them, try to find a recording on YouTube and you will learn that Dreams is now the Limerick song; the song with which the younger generation and the new breed of Limerick supporter identify." I was at all since 1994 and yes Limerick your lady was played in croke park,you clearly haven't a clue about the older or younger generation,you clearly aren't going to matches if you think dreams is being sung at matches. cityman73 (Limerick) - Posts: 775 - 19/03/2023 16:25:11 2464788 Link
Replying To foreveryoung: "2018 rather!" I was in croke park singing Limerick your a lady while it was playing across croke park, really like you should check things out before you make silly comments. cityman73 (Limerick) - Posts: 775 - 19/03/2023 16:27:16 2464789 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "USA have biggest everything including biggest mouths." Don't mind him or her,he thinks Limerick doesn't sing Limerick your a lady or Sean South, their is countless evidence to show his wrong,the Limerick team sang Sean South in the dressing room,the DUP even complained. cityman73 (Limerick) - Posts: 775 - 19/03/2023 16:31:30 2464792 Link

I think you're right with , her. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2005 - 19/03/2023 16:36:23 2464795 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "All mouth , no trousers. Come on out ye Black and Tan." Yerra you'd still be afraid to even look out your door for fear of a uniform of a Paisleyite, only for our people over here delivering the GFA for ya. And to appreciate it next month, who'll ye be serenading and proclaiming but the Clintons and the American entourage. Come out ye Black and Tan has nothing to do with a county that wears the red hand, a symbol always more associated with unionism than nationalism. We might be all mouth, but we get things done. You're just all mouth, period! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1903 - 19/03/2023 16:59:00 2464814 Link

Very strange reply,you do realise unionism is part of our country,you understand our national flag and what it means,you do realise great Irish people,green or white helped bring the good Friday agreement to pass,yes the USa helped but was only a part of it, education is no burden. cityman73 (Limerick) - Posts: 775 - 20/03/2023 19:58:02 2465364 Link

I met her a couple of times back in the 90s she was a friend of friends up in Limerick. Sound woman and great craic at a seisun! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11714 - 21/03/2023 09:48:14 2465403 Link

Replying To Viking66: "Maybe you should've paid more attention in history class? The Red hand is that of the O Neills, one of the last of the true Irish opponents of British rule here." Which is why we proudly wear the "red hand" on our jerseys. The spirit of O'Neill has never died up here. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 273 - 21/03/2023 21:43:16 2465647 Link
Replying To thelongridge: "The Turfman from 'Ardee'. was the Louth Anthem, I thought. Sung by the late Dermot O'Brien." Great song alright. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 781 - 22/03/2023 12:56:21 2465751 Link
Replying To supersub15: "Surely you must have sang a few bars of "Carlingford Bay" Ollie." Do you mean farewell to Carlingford? Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 781 - 22/03/2023 12:57:12 2465752 Link
