Category: Sportsbook

Yep that’s right folks one of you lucky suckers & a guest will be setting up camp in the luxurious surroundings of the lower stand of the Hogan Stand next Wednesday, 11 February to see Ireland take on Georgia in their latest 2010 World Cup Qualifying match.

And to spoil you rotten we’ll also throw in a free €100 bet on the match and a very special mystery surprise!!!

To be in with a chance of winning we want you to create a terrace chant designed to lure our prodigal midfielder, Stephen Ireland, back to the bosom of the Irish team. The best chant as decided by our panel of football song experts wins the goodies. Here’s one to get you started

Ode to Stephen Ireland
(to the tune of Walking in a Winter Wonderland)

There’s only one Stephen Ireland
One, one, one, Stephen Ireland
He’s got no hair but we don’t care
Walking in an Ireland wonderland

    Nice one Ken, I’ll have a crack…..

    To the tune of Rio by Duran Duran o.k (if anyone remembers how it goes)

    We’ve seen you on the pitch and we’ve seen you on T.V
    Come join the green machine, it would mean so much to me
    To see you on the ball in the green instead of blue
    Oh Stephen Ireland, your nation still needs you.

    His name is Ireland, we hold out a pleading hand
    To ask a son of ours to represent his land.
    And when he scores a goal he’ll really show us all he can
    Oh Gio Gio knows, Ireland needs their Superman.

    (But if he turns us down, he can stay playing at Eastlands,
    Where sure he’ll earn enough, for plenty more dodgy hair implants.)

    Maybe omit the last bit eh?

  2. Slammers Says:

    Something a little simpler maybe

    To The Macarena (yes i’m stuck in the past)

    We want but cant see our favourite Irish player
    We want but cant see our favourite balding Irish player
    We want but cant see our favourite follically challenged player
    Come on home Stephen Ireland!!!!!!!!

  3. joe keenan Says:

    He is bald, he is round
    he arse can touch the ground stevie I,
    he hair has gone
    so he wont play along stevie I,
    If Trap can get his hair to grow
    then maybe he will show stevie I,

  4. MARKd Says:

    To If Tomorrow Never Comes

    If Stephen Ireland never comes
    He’ll see how much we need him?
    Did we try in every way to get Ireland to play
    His Irish career cannot be done
    If his time with us is through
    And we must face the Italians without him
    Are the tournaments we made in the past
    Going to be enough enough to last
    If Ireland never comes

  5. bill Says:

    to the tune of Coming ‘Round the Mountain

    he’ll be combing out the implants when he comes, when he comes
    he’ll be coming out the implants when he comes,
    he’ll be combing out the implants
    he’ll be combing out the implants
    he’ll be combing out the implants when he comes

  6. R Haughey Says:

    to tune of U2 Sunday Bloody Sunday

    ‘Stevie Baldy Stevie’

    I cant believe the news today
    Still no Stevie Ireland in traps army
    How long, how long must this shit go on (or how long must we sing this song)
    How long, how long…

    Please come back Stevie tonight
    We should be as one tonight
    tonight…

    Stevie Baldy Stevie
    Stevie Baldy Stevie

    Where’s your hair (or granny) gone, where’s your hair gone,
    Where’s your hair gone, Stevie Ireland?

    Far far away, far far away.

    Last night I heard the Hunts singing this song,
    Boogie, boogie chi chi chi
    Woke up this morning and Stephen Ireland was gone,
    Boogie, boogie chi chi chi,

    Where’s your hair gone etc etc

    (Flinstones)

    Stephen, Stephen Ireland,
    he’s the white Pele of Man City.
    He drives a lovely pink car,
    but his hair loss is a mystery,

    When he, gets the ball City attack,
    don’t ask ‘bout the wings upon his back,

    When he, scores for city,
    he shows us his pants,
    his superman pants,
    it’s Stephen Ireland time!

  16. eddie h Says:

    Cos if trap wants the best ‘uns, but you don’t ask questions,
    Then brother, Stevie’s your man. ‘Cos where the hair is gone to is a mystery,
    It’s like the changin’ of the seasons, and the tides of the sea.
    But he’s the one that’s drivin’ me beserk, Why do brady and Me not work?

    La-la-la. La-lala-la. La-la-la. La-lala-la.

    Northmen, Southmen, Trappatoni all!
    Dublin, Belfast, Cork or Donegal!
    We’re on the one road, swinging along
    Singin’ Stevies song!

    Though we’ve had our troubles now and then
    Now’s the time to make them up again
    Sure aren’t we all Irish anyhow?
    Now is the time for Stevie Ireland to step into Croker’s now

    We’re on the one road, sharing the one load
    We’re on the road to South Africa (2010)!
    We’re on the one road, it may be the Traps road
    But Stevie Ireland here who cares?
    Northmen, Southmen, Trappatoni all!
    Dublin, Belfast, Cork or Donegal!
    We’re on the one road, swinging along
    Singin’ Stevies song!

    To Yankee Doodle (Roger Ramjet theme)

    The next World Cup South Africa, that’s Ireland’s destination
    But with our present midfield line, we face elimination

    Stephen Ireland Superman, that’s no exaggeration
    But the only time he plays in green, is at home on Playstation

    So come on Stevie, wear the shirt, and feel our adoration
    Stephen Ireland Superman, the saviour of the nation.

    And all the matches that you could be playing
    And the top players that you could be outplaying
    There are lots of skills that you could

    And we don’t care that your twelve grannies are dead
    Or that you’re bald as a coot

    Robinho’s a bit cold and he doesn’t want to play
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    to the tune of ” nothing compares to you”
    It’s been 17months and 15 days
    Since you said you would n’t play
    We go to every match and we all pray
    Since you said you would n’t stay
    Since you’ve been gone teams can do whatever they want
    They can score whenever they choose
    You can do what all our midfield can’t
    But no one
    I said no one can fill your shoes
    Cause nothing compares
    nothing compares to you ….

    For you told lies about your Gran,
    Now it’s time to show you’re a man,.
    Come back and play for us with dignity

    Low lies young Stephen Ireland
    Where once we used to watch him fly,
    From the middle or the wing,
    For Ireland we would sing,
    Its so lonely around the fields without Ireland

    And make sure Gran’s tucked up in Bed

    He inflicts his style on the people

    chorus (repeat)

    Ole, Ole Ole Ole, Ole, Ole
    Ole, Ole Ole Ole, Ole
    We’re all part of Trappie’s army

    when he links up with our Duff
    Cause with Ireland we’re the greatest football team
