Jesus
Sounds like a drunk ould wan at closing time

[Fagan_ODowd]

Anthem being butchered in Cavan. Sounds like it’s being sung through a garden hose.

[Hal]

That’s just ruined my Sunday

Ulster delivers in spades yet again. That was as stereotypically Ulster Championship as you could ever get. Screeching, echoing, crackling from the, in this case, very moderately attractive (ie not at all) young girl.

This could go either way yet…

[anon61956325]

Ah that was a good solid effort. 7/10.

Grand singer the band were fucking her up

[Sidney]

Traditional screechy Ulster fare from a reasonably attractive young girl over a dodgy microphone, as usual.

Would we have it any other way? I don’t think we would.

The tape played last night in Tullamore was one of the most comical things I’ve ever heard. Don’t know if it came across on the tv

[Hal]

The Anthem always better without someone murdering it on a microphone

[cmontofuck]

Nice job by the Sean Treacy? pipe band.

Next Sunday week everyone in the Gaelic Grounds people will be sick with anticipation as to whether the apes out there play the Anthem or fuck it up by blaring out Riverdance again.

That reminds me of the shambles in Enniscorthy a couple of weeks back for the minor football game between Wexford and Dublin. Ref blew the whistle waiting for anthem, announced over tannoy to stand, both teams and crowd standing waiting. Then nothing. About 30 seconds pass and still nothing, the ref looks over to the stand and taps his watch. Still nothing. Ref says fuck it, let’s get going, blows the whistle and teams start moving into position. Next thing a crackly anthem starts blaring over the shitty speaker system. Half way through, whoever’s phone they were using to hold against the mic to play the anthem off starts ringing. A fucking joke.

I think the best way of describing it would be a mashup of Amhrán na bhFiann and this:

I’ll definitely have the phone ready to record this Saturday in case we’re treated to an encore.
