Figuring out who is catholic on the NI soccer panel

Funny how there has been no media coverage / public outcry about this charming little ditty.  Can only imagine the responses on here if NI fans sang an equivalent song.

Feck me you did well to dig that one up from tens of thousands of fans behaving themselves I hope you didnt spend too long trying to find not alot

No digging required - Was doing the rounds on social media.  I stand by my original post that this would have been jumped on by the media if the show was on the other foot.

Its fairly harmless in fairness.

Maybe, but likely to cause aggro if sang in pubs shared by other fans.  Also, flies in the face of some people's claims on here that sectarianism is a one way street.  Without labouring the point, had NI fans been recorded singing 'F**k the Pope' or some other such nicety, it would be all over the media.

I personally wouldn't be offended if anyone sang f**k the Pope.
I dunno what your agenda is. Both teams had good tournaments and both sets of fans enjoyed themselves and 99.9% of them fans behaved themselves. Loads of reports of ROI and NI fans mixing well together also.
The video you posted is harmless nonsense. Move on and don't be trying to make something out of nothing.

Not trying to make something out of nothing and concede that the video / song is not a big deal.  Was just making the point that it's annoying that when some NI fans get on in a similar manner, it is blown out of proportion.

You're right, they cant chat feck the queen and think its ok, whether she's a cnut or not you cant have double standards.....

But you will get wankers on both sides

That chant is more tongue in cheek without too much menace. I've seen two clips of it being sung - it's the same guy in both videos and its not something ive ever heard until a few days ago.. Contrast that with some of the more sinister elements of the NI fans' repertoire which have been sung for quite some time and continue to be..

LOL is that it?! Take a redner son.

Doesn't look like your typical Irish fans either. More like a League of Ireland team gang aping English soccer chants. Pretty sure that video is in Dublin.

Many Catholics in the England or Wales squads?

Hilarious. You say that we claim that sectarianism is a one way street, you offer a video of some celtic/irish fans, and then you claim there is no recorded sectarian singing from OWC fans.

The no surrender cry was loud and clear during gstq at every one of the owc matches. Someone even wrote in to the belfast telegraph to complain about owc singing anti-german songs.

Sport for all protestants

Where is the sectarian element in this? They are singing a song about a foreign leader who is in command of the forces that have occupied part of their country. And who decorated said forces who murdered innocent civilians in the street in McClean's hometown. It is in this capacity, not as leader of the CoE, that the supporters are ascribing to McClean the hatred of her.

On the other hand The Pope is a religious leaders and songs about him would therefore by necessity be of a sectarian nature. And the Pope's s only military intervention in Ireland was quite a long time ago if I remember correctly.

The worst bit about the video is that McClean doesn't rhyme with Queen

It does in a dub accent

You accept that if you were brought up in a different village your view on that would be different, and accept that some people may find it offensive?? And don't kid yourself about the the Popes, millions died through the years all down to popes!!

Sectarian does not just relate to religious sects but to political sects also.

Well who belongs to which political sects in this scenario? The Queen? McClean?? The singers? Go on tell me cos I can't work it out.
