where does the silly chant ''Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Olaaay'' chant even come from?
I never knew it's origin.

The World Cup in some South American country a couple of decades ago...as far as I know

edit. Good old Wikipedia. I was wrong about the South American bit

Olé, Olé, Olé - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The popular version of the "Olé, Olé, Olé" chant was first used in a 1985 song written by the Belgians Roland Verlooven and Grand Jojo called "Anderlecht Champion" as "Allez, Allez, Allez, Allez" in French, but became "Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé" in Spanish in a version titled "E Viva Mexico" created for the Mexico 86 World Cup. This version of the chant quickly spread around the world and chanted by football fans in tribute to a team or a player, and it is now also widely used in other sports as well as in non-sporting events

oh, you're out foreign? But I didn't see any "obligatory airport pint" photos on Facebook. I don't understand.

I did post about heading away in the Australia thread. Flew in the middle of the night so skipped the pint.

Enjoy. Say hello to Nooly

funnily enough I read that a while back when the guy (Gran Jojo) who sang the Anderlecht song died but completely forgot about it.

it's still a fucking brain dead chant for people who don't even like football.

''Ooh Ah Paul McGrath'' obviously comes The Gap Band's Oops Upside Your Head (a top 10 hit when reissued in 1987).

With milk?

I've been watching loads of right leaning content on YouTube lately and now my algorithm is all messed up.

I read this as ‘the water is off in my arse again’

Now that could be a major complaint

Newstalk right now.

"Shur Donald Trump is great and of course -a bunch of shite that makes no sense-, mighty so he is".
That's an interesting point of view, lets take another caller.
Newstalk is never going to outdo Joe Duffy in the random phone-in dickhead stakes. Why try?

I have to apply for a new credit card. Groan

I can't access this forum from Chrome on my Mac since last week, I get a 403 error. It's grand in Safari, which is how I'm able to post this. Any ideas @pete ?

This is mostly a work thing. But I hate the way that you now have to send a text to someone or whatsapp them to let them know who you are and while you'll be calling if they don't have your number or else the call might not be answered.

As much as I want blame phone phobia for that, it's really spam callers. I had three calls from the same supposedly Tallaght number last week; on the third I said screw it and rang back only to receive a 'this number has not been activated' message. I'd rather get a text or an email, if I'm truly honest.

Try it incognito on chrome and let me know.
