Thread Name: Lyr Req: Skibbereen + Irish Soldier Laddie
Subject: RE: Skibereen
The phrase "revenge for Skibbereen" has been used by Christy Moore in his song "Joxter goes to Stuttgart", celebrating a victory (the only one?) of the Irish against the English in football. This is by the way the only football song I like, for it freely uses Irish (folk) tradition and mocks in a gentle way about football supporters.
