English Fans singing no surrender

[Father Jack Hackett]

As has been said, every national anthem is political. I've always found it strane that 'lads' pretend to be right-wing as they think it makes them appear harder.

Is being anti-IRA right wing?

Is being anti-IRA right wing?

I'd say so, yes. See Jeremy Corbyn, for example.

That sing is also sung regarding Islamic extremists.

Send an email to Jezza and ask him. Perhaps he'll read it out at the next PMQs.

I'm anti them as well.

Considering its sang at every single England game (during the national anthem) you're wrong

This. Obviously the no surrender bit in the anthem generally refers to the IRA (wouldn't have thought there'd be much wrong with that) and they have the keep st George in my heart song which explicitly references them, but it's also just used as a general note of defiance. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I've sang it many times during the anthem, FIFA can fuck off

Fifa are investigating it once again. I heard them sing it so it won't surprise me if Fifa have already found them guilty.

What I'm wondering is why is it any of fifas business... I know they don't like anything political but no mainstream political parties or countries have official ties to the IRA anymore. So does it really matter if they sing an anti terrorist song?

Of course it matters , it’s diagraceful , shameful and if we could only identify the brain dead idiots they should be given life bans.

So am I

Las Malvinas surely?

No it's the Falkland Islands

Crackers though wanting to sing that at a football match.
f***ing knackers.

 

[gipetto]

I like the addition of "no surrender" to the national anthem. It adds some bite/edge to it.

f***ing hell, I'm only asking the bloody question. If you want to wank over communism I suggest the politics forum

I don't think I've ever heard that one inside the ground mind, think that's the one people are thinking of on this thread

For singing against a terrorist organisation?

 

[two left feet]

They fined Argentina for homophobic chanting.

That's a bit gay.

Agreed. Can't they sing songs in celebration of the England football team instead of singing that shite? It's not as if the Irish were at the finals anyway.
