Bamba's Babes Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 A section of L1 were singing anti-IRA songs on Saturday against Sunderland. A song also sang during the Scotland vs. England. As a man of Irish heritage I was disgusted and hope the club takes action against the uneducated morons. Did anyone else hear this?
Guest Kopfkino Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Heard it, didn't really see the point in it
Russell sprout Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 The i r a were a terrorist organisation in the same way i.s are today,if people want to voice the opinion then why not,many Irish and Muslims have bad opinions of us English and choose to demonstrate there hatred towards is rather than simply voice it like we do
David Guiza Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Do Sunderland have a particularly Celtic herritage, or, and I assume it's this one, those singing had absolutley no idea what they were doing?
Harry - LCFC Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 I'd imagine the chant was solely a follow up to what we heard at the England game and nothing to do with our opponents on Saturday. A number of people have interpreted the Scots booing God Save the Queen as being pro-IRA it seems, which is pretty fvcking stupid if that's true. Even so I don't know why you feel offended. Being anti-IRA is not the same as being anti-Irish.
Raj Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 saw sland fans walking around with a flag singing no surrender...cops just stood around laughing. didnt hear owt INSIDE L1
Babylon Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Even so I don't know why you feel offended. Being anti-IRA is not the same as being anti-Irish. Indeed... you can just hate the Irish for being the ginger haired, black stuff guzzling, pot of gold chasing gits they are. Nothing to do with the IRA* *Joke.
Babylon Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Do Sunderland have a particularly Celtic herritage, or, and I assume it's this one, those singing had absolutley no idea what they were doing? They used to be owned by the Drumaville Consortium which was Irish, which was when they had Nial Quinn as chairman I think.
lgfualol Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Me and some lads were singing pro-IRA songs, did you not hear us?
Russell sprout Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 saw sland fans walking around with a flag singing no surrender...cops just stood around laughing. didnt hear owt INSIDE L1 Similar to when the Muslims burn the British flag on Hyde park in London and burn the Poppy's,but this is england,land of freedom of speech,oh unless your a white English person,that means your a racist thug
Stevosevic Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Don't see the point in singing it but nothing wrong with being against a terrorist group.

If I had a penny for the amount of times I've been called a racist thug for going about my daily business, geewhiz
Harry - LCFC Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 What's wrong with anything "Anti-IRA" ??? On it's own there's nothing wrong with the sentiment itself. My issue with it is that those singing it appear to be accusing others of being pro-IRA or sympathising with their cause.
Monsell1976 Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Don't see the point in singing it but nothing wrong with being against a terrorist group. Pretty much my thoughts on it, no relevants at a city match, but is defo not anti Irish. The IRA were a bunch of cowards, and any song sung about them is nothing compared to the murderous things they did
Voll Blau Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 Embarrassing really. It's a Leicester City match. Sing in support of your team FFS.

As a man of Irish heritage I was disgusted and hope the club takes action against the uneducated morons. Did anyone else hear this? I'm I man with Irish roots as well and I'm quite offended you'd be offended by people singing against a bunch of vile murdering sick bastards, that said I don't see the point in the singing of these songs at Leicester matches. Anyone reading though please don't think everyone who has any Irish roots would be offended at anyone being anti IRA like the original poster is.

Always wondered what the P stood for, now I know... cheers Paddy.

Didn't the IRA bomb Leicester in 1990? Not that I heard the songs or would join in as it seems irrelevant to the game.
Beliall Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 i feel offended by all the anti leicester chanting, im partly from leciester
shade Posted 24 November 2014 Posted 24 November 2014 good and evil are two sides of the same coin. the IRA are neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.
