the fields of athenry

We should name the club "THE THE Ranjurs" that way we can sing what we like

 

Our love was on the wing - Celtic....We had dream and songs to sing - IRA!!

 

* , I was worried Dundee United was getting all the credit .
I think as the law stands now in Scotland , a Celtic fan has only to smile or show that he is getting pleasure and he is sure to be arrested .

 

I don't think you can. *, Celtic tv plays it before the games sometimes. I'm pretty sure anyway ...

also I'm pretty sure the coppers said its 2 certain songs they have to jail us for singing. RofH & some other song, can't remember. Heard one of the GB guys say a copper told him that.

anyone know anything about that?

 

somehow I believe this is what is actually happening ^ coppers probably just do eenie meanie miney mo pick a Tim and off we go :icon_mrgreen:

 

You no going to tell us what the other one is then ?

If it is Boys of the Old Brigade then we are alright singing The Celtic Symphony at the game tomorrow.
If it's the Celtic Symphony then we are alright singing The SAM song at the game tomorrow.
If it's the SAM song then we are alright singing The Fighting Men of Crossmaglen at the game tomorrow.
If it is the Fighting men of Crossmaglen then we are alright singing the Merry Ploughboy at the game tomorrow.
If it's the Merry Ploughboy then we are alright singing Go On Home British Soldiers at the game tomorrow.
etc

 

Sadly true

 

i miss singing the fields more often.

 

They did more even than the Irish monks to preserve the inheritance of classical Greece and they also passed on the fruits of the Central Asian "enlightenment" (such as Algebra and the beginnings of Chemistry), which the Irish monks were geographically badly situated for. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Good post but most of those advances were made in Central Asia rather than the Arab lands and the Arabs merely passed them on. Many of these Central Asian geniuses did write in Arabic, though (much like scholars in Europe wrote in Latin as a kind of Lingua Franca).

Still, without the Arabs, we'd never have heard of them until much, much later.

 

Of course the stability of the Arab world allowed the preservation and transmission of ancient knowledge to post-Roman Europe. But really, a * of a lot of what has been mentioned, were not Arabic inventions. Algebra is simply an Arabic word, the works pre-dated the Arab explosion. Their philosophers were merely commentators on Classical Greek works, which, to be fair, we already had in some form through the Early Church Fathers. Triangular sails predated the Arabs. Astronomy, medicine, philosophy, etc., was already existent in Europe. The Arabs didn't burst into a vacuum. There was already an ancient society and civilisation based around the Mediterranean.

It doesn't devalue the good that the Arabic civilisation did provide. And honestly, I think we all know that it's just a pointless * contest. :smiley-laughing002: Plato wasn't much of an Irishman either. :icon_mrgreen: It's the way of society. Knowledge, information, etc., is continually transferred and handed down!

 

Really miss this at games, can't remember last time I heard it

 

Change stability to dynamism, and I'll agree with you. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Wednesday night at Partick

Last Friday at Killie

Love it when the full stadium belts it out at European games, prefer it to YNWA actually.

 

Oh! Now that's a nice word! :icon_mrgreen: Shame it's not applicable. The European and Arabic civilisations during that period were quite comparable to one another.

 

Not technologically they weren't. Not even close. Even as late as the 15th Century (by which point we were catching up fast), Europe was still learning from the Islamic lands far more than they were from us. When the Portuguese rounded Africa and arrived in India, they found they produced nothing the Indians wanted. That's why the silver so brutally stolen from America at cost of so many lives ended up almost entirely in India and China.

 

Never heard it

I'm terrible for making out whats being sung.

Both away games though, has it been sung at home recently?

 

Did they, aye?

 

Your dislike for all things Irish is palpable.

 

I prefer it too, I will start it at Tannadice if you all join in
