Irish Women’s Team singing pro IRA chant

[lancs blue]

That atrocious Sky interview is precisely the kind of thing that would boost the coffers of the IRA when the collecting tins are passed around.

Instead of appologising they should have just released a video of them singing the man from the daily mail, with a cheeky wink at the end.

Fucking lol.

How many times have Linfield been videoed singing ‘Fcuk the Pope and the IRA’ to the tune of simply the best? No problem with the f the IRA part but insensitive mentioning the pope.

I take it you haven't heard the City fans chant about a certain football club from Stretford travelling to the Italian capital to visit the Pontif?

Firstly, I don’t condone violence of any kind by anyone so I have no love for men with guns on any side of a situation, but to call the IRA terrorists is to support the propaganda of a military occupation.
Have you not ever noticed that the IRA is actually Irish and that it’s purpose has been to fight against a foreign country engaged in a military occupation?
Irish people fighting against Britain’s occupation of a large part of their country are no different to the people of France when fighting the German occupation, the people of South Africa who fought to end apartheid rule (rule by invaders) or the people of the Ukraine doing all that they can to dislodge Russia.
People fighting to dislodge invaders are plainly freedom fighters not terrorises regardless of how the British media has painted it down the years.

I repeat that I don’t condone violence for any cause but let’s not fall for the propaganda of occupying nations by calling those people defending their own countries ‘terrorists’ for seeking to reestablish their own borders.

Ah as an Irishman it's a bit of both in this case tbf. There's people in the North that identify as British that have been there for around 500 years, they've a right too. We should be allowed to sing our songs though, at least the better ones.

Exactly what I said a few minutes before. It's absolutely shocking and can't believe the Irish FA put the player up to this crap

Lots of frankly embarrassing IRA apologist nonsense on this thread but this takes the biscuit.

“To call the IRA terrorists is to support the propaganda of a military occupation”. Jesus. So blowing up little kids out shopping for football kits in Warrington on a Saturday morning, or murdering people in cold blood at a remembrance service - remembering of course the lives lost in defeating a horrific, evil Nazi regime in WWII - weren’t cowardly terrorist acts then? Those actions were comparable to what the Ukrainians are doing now?

I really do wonder about people.

Pressure from a major sponsor (Sky) from what I heard. Still a load of shit though.

FFS we sing the Fields of Athenry every single game home and away in every fucking sport. That's arguably more offensive.

 

[hinchcliffes bulbous conk]

LOL!! They apologised, which i dont think they needed to at all. So what else do you want?? Begging for forgiveness from you lot.

Not at all Tommy, just an observation.

 

[threespires]

Tbh I admire this girls restraint having to engage in a damage limitation exercise with this patronising ****.

If you want to know why a chunk of the celtic world (and others) think we are complete twats look no further than yer man there.
