How do we decide which songs should be cancelled and which ones not.  Who decides this.  Just because some people are offended by a song does that mean the song should never be sung.  

As I said I think both songs are crap and pretty derisory from both a lyrical and musical perspective but if people want to sing them let them sing them.  The do not break any hate laws etc. so as the Wolfe Tones sing.  Let the People Sing. 


Well they cancelled Amhrán na bhFiann because it was deemed offensive to the Unionist players.

Some of whom maybe burning tricolours, Ivory Coast flags or hanging up Parashoot regiment flags on the way home anyway.


Your average Irish rugby fan from south of the border isn’t likely to have been a supporter of the IRA. 

Those guys will be part of the “no foreign games, no garrison games” type, maybe making an exception for Celtic. 

Likewise your average rugby fan from north of the border is unlikely to burn Irish flags or hoist parachute regiment flags.

This all seems to have been blown up by people who don’t attend rugby matches. 


Where is that classic photo from outside croke park

Probably the most recongnisable song from the most famous band from Limerick. And Limerick is home to Thomond Park. Plus it’s very singable.

People love to sing when in crowds. Add in a bit of local connection and it’s all the better.

Since when was Irish sport contained to Limerick. Munster Rugby barely relevant for decades now and the hurling about the only other thing. I sing in a crowed but I don’t sing ira apology songs sorry

Not sure if it was mentioned here but it's been said the Stade de France play that song regularly after French sporting events so it made sense they'd play it. It's very popular in places like south Korea and Japan also. Probably a worldwide thing.

The European Ryder Cup fans have adapted old songs to create chants for the players.

Zombie was a good fit with Rory.

It's an interesting choice of theme song for a man whose Great Uncle was killed by a loyalist death squad.

McIlroy has always been a strange one in that respect - a Catholic unionist. Likely assimilated by the overwhelming majority of unionists in that part of the north, similar to a lot of descendants of unionists who found themselves in the free state after partition who would be nationalists today.

Stockholm Syndrome. You assimilate to the area you grow up in.

Sam Maguire was a protestant as was Wolfe Tone etc..  Padraig Pearse was born Patrick Pearce son of an Englishman.  Religion does not equal politics. 

On a  side note  I was at an EIRE international last year and there was a Unionist Orange Band with a giant Edward Carson banner playing directly opposite the Schoolhouse pub.

There'd be a load of unionists in Donegal/Monaghan etc.. as well.

I would say most assimilate but some staunch people of both persuasions will not.  I can't see working class protestants ever assimilating into a United Ireland and will be big trouble makers.

There is an Orange Lodge across the road from Beggars Bush!

I think there is some in Wicklow and Cork too.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Would you be interested in joining up?   A bit of lambeg practice then hop across the road for a drop of the Devil's Buttermilk.
