The section we are discussing claims that this is frequently sung by the audience when REBEL bands are performing the song - Gary Og is a fairly prominent rebel artist, so the lyrics on his site is reliable enough to back up the claim that this is done in performances by REBEL bands. You To reiterate - I don't agree that we should remove material that is sourced while we wait for others to maybe find more.

Isn't this a reference to attacks on food convoys and grain ships during the famine years? Still no source.

[I.R.A.!] This is when you inserted “in more recent years”, without giving a source.

[Hey baby let the free birds fly!] This isn't about 'claiming' this song for anyone, but I've had a quick look, and I haven't found any Munster or Irish rugby albums out there so far, which suggests to me that it may be more important to Celtic fans.

By my "unwillingness to cooperate" do you mean inserting sources found by you and objecting to you removing my referenced material? Awesome! "The Fields of Athenry" is a song written in 1979 by Pete St. John in the style of an Irish folk ballad. --I really must come in to support and ehco the sentiments of FearSneachta. "The Fields of Anfield Road" is sung by Liverpool supporters to the same tune, but with suitably adapted lyrics referencing their history and stadium. You didn’t provide a source. Low, lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly Our love was on the wing We dreams and songs to sing It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling "Nothing matters Mary when you're free Against the Famine and the Crown I rebelled they ran me down

The song was adopted by Celtic Football Club in Glasgow has a large following in Ireland and among people in Scotland of Irish descent.The song's popularity, due in part to its use at sporting events, has helped to attract tourists to Athenry.

Where once we watched the small free birds fly In the discussion above (17:07, 30 July 2008), someone called eon (are you perhaps related?) Awesome! I don't agree that the Irish Independent article is a stronger source than the Herald's. Untill a citation is given, I will remove this statementI've always wondered what Ranger's fans sing to this tune.

between the lines to you? Embed: If that's the case (and you may well be right) then it should be easy to find sources to confirm this.Agreed - your edit summary need not be sourced, but it does reflect the thinking behind the edit.

The Herald article refers to the song being sung at a Celtic-Borussia Dortmund match.

-I removed the mention of Tasmania.
Poor quality sources like this Other editors, including myself, have not yet found sources confirming when the song was adopted by others. Since 2006 it has also been associated with the Irish rugby union team Munster, English rugby union team London Irish and the Ireland national rugby union team."

The lyrics say the convict's crime is that he "stole Trevelyan's corn"; this is a reference to The song was regularly heard from on the terraces in the late 1980s from supporters of the Galway county hurling team.

Pete St John wrote a preface to his song to publicize a real-life occurrence, which apparently happened in 1843.

The mention of it has no place in the article (particularly as you have gone up and set up your own article).

However, it is verifiably the case that the song has "long been an anthem of Celtic fans".

I see no need to tag the whole section as disputed, only specifics which aren't currently addressed by sources.

As I've repeatedly said, I may be wrong, and have added the source you cited about the Irish football team, before the mention of Celtic. If you have others, add them, but please stop removing material with verifiable sources in favour of unverified things you believe are "self-evidential".I have never tried to say anyone adopted this song 'first' or 'before anyone else'. Secondly, what if I were to go into "It doesn't reference anything at all.

It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
