    Any opinion on The Fields of Athenrye being sung by other supporters.

    Just saw a bit of Chelsea v Liverpool match and you could plainly hear it being sung by Liverpool supporters.
    Only in sectarian Scotland do you get * for singing it.
    I guess different rules apply to EPL teams.

    Liverpool change the lyrics. Think they sing 'Anfield Road' as opposed to 'Athenrye'.

    Not sure of what other lyrics they alter.

    Liverpool fans don't sing The Fields of Athenry. I think Celtic & Ireland are the only sides that sing it, unless I'm forgetting any Irish clubs (Cliftonville, maybe?). I hate the version that Liverpool have adapted.

    All round the Fields of Anfield Road
    Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play)
    We had Heighway on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road

    All of them. It is the same tune and that's it. ( apart from the dreams and songs to sing bit but their dreams are about Steve Heighway and Paisley.)

    I remember a Liverpool fan telling me that they sung The Fields of Athenry/Anfield Road before Celtic fans. :smiley-laughing002: Despite it being an adapted version.

    Unfortunately, I think they have a better claim to singing 'You'll never walk alone' before us which is aggravating 'cause I'd like to think * only copy us.

    Do Everton not sing something like 'For it's a grand old team to play for...' idea? Sure I heard something similar from the tiers.

    Fair play to them - beats the plethora of clubs that sing their own version of 'Hello, Hello'. Not as if we are adverse to 'stealing' songs either!
