Liam Gallagher left fuming after boos from the audience at Croke Park night two
The second night of the Live Forever songwriters sold out Croke Park shows has seen as much energy and interaction as night one with 80,000 fans belting out Oasis lyrics in a packed stadium.
But one comment didn't go down too well with fans at Croke Park when compared to Saturday night.
"Anyone here from Mayo?" Liam asked, before the crowd started booing. "F***ing booing?!" he fumed, before adding: "Charlestown? This one's for you," and started into Fade Away.
The town has a significant meaning to Liam and Noel, as it's where their beloved mum, Peggy is from. Peggy is attending both Dublin concerts, having avoided the all-standing shows in Manchester, so she is able to kick back in luxury surroundings. Saturday also saw a shoutout for Charlestown, but this went down a bit better. Oasis fans outside Croke Park before the show
Noel faced his fair share of boos, too. Before performing Half The World Away, he said: "Anyone from Manchester?"
However, he hadn't anticipated the response, as the crowd started booing. Shocked by the response, he added: "Excuse me, excuse me? Booing for the people in Manchester? Oh no, no, no, no, that won't do! Be nice!"
As he introduced Half The World Away, he said: "This is for the Royle Family – the real Royal Family," a swipe at the House of Windsor. Half The World Away had been used as the soundtrack to the BBC sitcom, The Royle Family.
Ahead of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, he said he wasn't "anti-royal" but noted that the "appeal" of the monarchy had been "dwindling". "There are other things for people to be interested in," he commented, before branding the monarchy as "a bit farcical."

He laughed 'Apparently, I've been yapping too much, getting myself in trouble for having a f***ing opinion!' Once again, the setlist featured crowd-pleasing hits including Acquiesce, Cigarettes And Alcohol and Live Forever.
