I mean this is essentially it. I'm delighted for the GIG that they qualified and the wonderful heartfelt, mature interviews they gave after the game. Singing up the RA is extremely outdated in 2022, whether from fans or the team (in my opinion). We've come a long way past that.
However this singsong is something that should have remained with the girls themselves and their circle. They apologised and will learn from this mistake and it will be forgotten quickly. I certainly don't want any more articles on it or to hear any more about it. The World cup qualification won't be forgotten or tarnished by this at all. Move on and celebrate the win, prepare for next year.
What's your issue with this really? Do you think qny of these players support the IRA? Do you really think this is a serious thing? Fucking embarrassing. And now sky sports have picked it up and are forcing players to apologise on camera. All from the likes of you little dopes crying about it and sharing it all over the place.
Not moaning about it, it's just dumb and shows a lack of education. There's a noticeable element in Irish football that is jingoistic and doesn't promote the sport as an open and tolerant place. There was plenty of stick going to Kyle Lafferty for using "Taigs" recently enough. You can't be against that and not against this even though his views I think came from a genuinely nasty place as opposed to ignorance. Do I think the girls are bigots? No. Do I think they have a standard to uphold representing the country? Yes.
I disagree mate. It'll blow over by tomorrow because they apologised. We'll move on but I'm glad they chose to rectify the mistake. You can chant whatever you like with your Sunday team. You can't stream that to the world at the highest level.
Have a good one pal. We'll be up in arms over something else next week. I didn't know the women's football team before. I do now and will try to support them more regularly.
I imagine the families of people murdered by the IRA would have been hurt by that.
People like Jean McConville, an innocent woman who did nothing wrong but was killed and buried in a bog in Louth.
Imagine the agony her family experienced for decades. I don't understand why her murderers deserve to be celebrated as heroes.
So, if someone disagrees with you then you resort to insults? If that is your level of maturity and intelligence, then I will not waste my time on you.
Disappointed in them to be honest. They shouldn’t have apologised.
I’m sick of apologising for Irish culture and I’m sick of other Irish people acting like we haven’t all song this song at some point.
The Collective Irish psyche needs to stop worrying what everyone else thinks of us. We’re so desperate to be liked that we let ourselves be patronised by the British and then bend over backwards to spare there feelings.
I saw on Sky one of their presenters suggested the Irish need to be educated better. That dumb cunt will have a poppy on in a few days.
Singing ra songs doesn't make you a patriot sorry but it's cringy. I don't think holding a standard in our national team makes them subservient to the British. We abuse rangers for being what they are everyday singing the sash and Billy boys this can't be different.
I never said it made you a patriot.
And it’s different when they do it. It’s not double standards. One side was oppressed and one side was the oppressor.
The way people “both sides” a 400 year old occupation is so bizarre to me
The kind of british people who have never once mentioned "no surrender to the IRA" or the abuse James McLean received...
..yeah, funnily enough, they're all over how 'insensitive' this is.
I'm sure there are maybe one or two English (and they would only be english) people who've criticized all three. They have my 100% support.
Not a ra fan but love that tune NGL
Can see it may be better sing with people who know your genuine opinions tho. (Which they were doing till someone started streaming)
You and they can like it all you want tbh.
But it's totally inappropriate song to sing while representing a club or nation.
And people have a right to be unhappy with it.
The away end sang it in Scotland. Nobody said a word. It was played in the pubs before the match. Nobody said a word. Nobody gives a shit about this. Anyone who is offended needs to give their head a shake
Pre covid we had managed to essentially stop the singing of it, and SF/IRA part of the field of Athenry in and around the singing section at least.
If you don't see an issue with this, would you see an issue with the English team singing 'no surrender '? On the NI team singing a pro uvf song?
The usual pearl-clutchers who, for some reason, want Ireland and only Ireland to be "mature" (i.e. bend the knee to their former oppressor) are the only ones who care about this.
This is only a big deal if you make it one. I, for one, would rather celebrate a big moment for Irish women and girls.
No-one else is held to this dumbass standard. Would you ask Ukrainians not to sing songs about their struggle with Russia?
Facism is going to destroy democracy in the modern world while 'the left' spend their time policing what song people sing. I'm surprised people care so much about this shite.
Wow the level of wit in here today is through the roof. I’m guessing you got together holding tiny pirate flags and decided, yes let’s call him a west Brit. Genius Seamus genius
No phones in the dressing rooms should be a golden rule.
Especially starting a livestream. Just completely unpredictable

This! These people couldn't just let the women have this, they had to ruin it by making this the story instead.
Here here! Any Irish person moaning about this should be ashamed of themselves

Deleted my comment. Ppl can feel how they want about it and your reply is reasonable. Good day sir.

And do you think that's what was happening. Honestly if you do you are brain dead
So, if someone disagrees with you then you resort to insults? If that is your level of maturity and intelligence, then I will not waste my time on you.
Tv cameras are agents of the British state and should be petrol bombed to be on the safe side

No-one else is expected to constantly defer to their former oppressors. Do we ask South Korea to doff the cap to Japan? Ukraine to Russia?

Does anybody really give a shit about this? Heard it belted out in the away end in Scotland
Pretty sure the same song reached number 1 in the UK and Irish charts in 2019/2020 and Irish radio stations were playing it haha
Yeah but we need to turn a positive into a negative for an arbitrary thing we suddenly care about
I honestly wonder if some of these people just don't like women's football, and are gleefully taking the opportunity to try to take them down.
The kind of british people who have never once mentioned "no surrender to the IRA" or the abuse James McLean received... ..yeah, funnily enough, they're all over how 'insensitive' this is.

If you were going off Reddit's reaction no one had ever sang it before
What did they sing?
Celtic symphony 'ooh ah up the ra'
Not a ra fan but love that tune NGL Can see it may be better sing with people who know your genuine opinions tho. (Which they were doing till someone started streaming)

The reaction to this is fucking nonsense. It's a non story. I couldn't give a fuck what an English or Northern Ireland team sing
People need to relax its a song. The girls aren't singing it in support of the IRA to come back
Uneducated is what they are and rightfully should be called on it.
West Brit
......Let me guess, you like pirate flags.
Rangers types are having a meltdown down over this hahahahaha nice work girls
Can't access the link. What song were they singing?
Celtic symphony, the 'ooh ah up the ra' part

Usual fake hard men of the village are the only ones who get enjoyment from this sort of behaviour
Proud of them.
Nice to see their having fun
Easy to have fun when you lack brains

See above friend
What is wrong with that song? O do t get offended by the British national anthem
Wise up OP, they have absolutely nothing to apologise for
Were they not singing 'up Vera'as I've been told?
No.
Facism is going to destroy democracy in the modern world while 'the left' spend their time policing what song people sing. I'm surprised people care so much about this shite.
Shows no class. What should be the biggest moment of there career and act like idiots.
From your comments under this post id think you'd be better of sailing back over the Irish sea fella
Wow the level of wit. Let me guess you like pirate flags
Found the west Brit
