Just a simple trivial question here for everyone of every county
What chants or songs are/were sang in the stands/hill on match day by your county?
Dubs Com on you boys in blue....Galway girl by the Galwigians etc
I'm very curious to know all of them ,from Dublin to little Sligo.It's interesting how most counties have their own one or two that get blared out from the stands on a good day in summer.Often they aren't well known outside of their home counties.

The hill in the 90s was different class. The songs were hilarious and plenty. A certain meath free taker from skryne had one all to himself questioning his parentage :) its totally different now. No flags no chants. I put that down to back in the 90s the dubs on the hill were real old skool GAA fans who followed the dubs for lifetimes the current Hill has more "johnnycomelatelys" who don't "get" the hill.

Replying To perfect10: "chanting is for soccer,chanting abuse even more so." Can understand your problem with the abuse (to an extent, if it's vitriolic, absolutely agree, if it's just a bit of fun, can't see the problem) but chanting or singing in general, what's wrong with that? Surely a noisy crowd adds to the atmosphere and spurs the players on. What do you want, the odd polite ripple of applause?

I'll give you a few Meath chants/songs they sing on the hill;
In Meath's fair city where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone as she wheels her wheelbarrow tru the streets broad b narrow crying (clap) Meath Meath Meath
Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines
I remember Meath City in the Rare auld times

Replying To perfect10: "chanting is for soccer,chanting abuse even more so." I'm not on about abuse particularly . It's stuff that is all in good fun ,if your saying it is just for soccer you must have never been on the hill .The dubs have a lot of songs they start singing I just don't know half of them .I was at the All-Ireland hurling final last year and Kilkenny had one they were singing no idea what it was though and Galway were singing the fields of Athenry . It just adds atmosphere.

I've never heard Cavan fans singing or chanting, ever.
Plenty of noise as if they're kicking every ball, no lack of passion, along with Kerry the most football mad fans in the country but never singing or chanting. It's not really a GAA thing apart from a few counties who have always done it and the odd county who have tasted recent success and seen their crowds swell with an influx of sunshine fans - "farney army" comes to mind.

People here might give out when I say this but soccer games have a bit more banter to them then GAA ( except maybe the hill ). I'm a soccer fan but I've been to games with friends and the amount of songs premiership teams have to sing is madness. I know most counties have one or two from being to different matches but half the time I don't know what they are.

I'm sure Kerry have at least one or two songs they belt out on All-Ireland final day. Kilkenny have something which I was surprised at ,heard them all on the hill singing it last year. Heard Mayo singing the green and red of Mayo.
True , chants are few and far between.Think the Dubs have that one nailed more than the other counties, in a way I'm jealous of that hill atmosphere they have going.
