Just drown them out.  Low lie...

I know the last game at Landsdowne Road didn't go well but was the problem due to anti IRA chants and singing no surrender?

Roy Hodgson urges England fans to avoid offensive songs
England manager Roy Hodgson has asked fans not to sing antagonistic songs during a friendly against the Republic of Ireland at Wembley on 29 May.

It will be the first meeting since a game at Lansdowne Road was abandoned in 1995 because of crowd trouble.

Hodgson, in an email to England ticket holders and in his programme notes, asks fans to avoid songs with political or religious overtones.

England fans have been known to sing anti-IRA songs.

The email reads: "Ahead of the Ireland fixture, on behalf of the FA, I would like to ask our supporters to please respect our opponents and welcome them in the right way.

Why would England fans singing offensive songs be the cause of England fans rioting? Do these songs somehow offend themselves and provoke a violent reaction?

Are these, in fact, Ballads of Mass Destruction?

Only realised this was on yesterday.

I suppose I might head up the road to watch it.

I hope the Irish fans have learned the rest of the Fields of Athenry, they've had plenty of time since the Euros.

And maybe a few new ones to go with it.

Anyone else sick to the stomach of hearing this song being beat out at every opportunity?

Never liked the song. Hate the Liverpool version of it as well.

+ 1. Awful awful dirge.

I don't mind it, I think its overused and they usually only sing the chorus over and over.

I dream of a day when you hear 40,000 supporters of any sport belt out An Poc Ar Buile from start to finish.
