Irish Women’s Team singing pro IRA chant

[East Level 2]

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.

Fields of Anfield Road is far more offensive.

That's a happy song though. It's about going away from the Fields of Anfield road.

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.

So at what point did Nelson Mandela stop being a terrorist and become a freedom fighter?
Are the Ukranians freedom fighters or terrorists?

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?

to be fair the pope told them to fuck off

You can sense the humour in that song though when it’s being sung, as I said previous it’s all a load of tosh anyways. Let the people sing their stories and there songs as is their right and people who listen to them have the right to feel offended too then it’s up to those singing to give a shit or not about it and round and round it goes. The world moves on.

So do I. Blowing up the Arndale could hardly by termed as bona fide 'freedom fighting'. Sometimes romanticism ignores reality.

Snowflakes.

We could be here until United win the league again with tit for tat like like. The British Army and government have done a lot worse in N. Ireland and Ireland than blow up a building thankfully without any casualties like in the Arndale.

Not downplaying the horrendous atrocities the IRA have committed either by the way just think while we should remember history a lot of it is best placed being left there too. Thankfully for everyone those days are long over.

we don't sing fuck the pope , just that those cunts went to visit him :)

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

So saying sorry absolves?
People no longer responsible for their actions. Just say sorry and it never happened?
