It's not an English or NI song. It's a BRITISH song.
Hm, but St George is the patron saint of England is he not?

Lets carry on singing "no surrender", whilst were at it can we sing about other current issues such as freeing Nelson Mandela and Independence for India?

Not fella. Those guys were the Real Continuity Proper Honest IRA. About as much like PIRA as Christmas and rice pudding.Did the IRA shoot people recently or NOT ?

Right...? So now us english need to make up songs about all sorts of different shady groups of terrorists?
I have no feelings one way or another, other than a general view that a terrorist is a terrorist, and not a "freedom fighter". However, I do have strong feelings about the IRA blowing-up good MPs like Ian Gow on their driveway in Hankam, and killing englishmen and women in their own country.
If the Nazi's had invaded England and subjugated the English would you still fight against them until they had been driven from your country even though it might have taken many, many years?
A simple yes or no will suffice.
i persume you live here.....therefore it should be OUR COUNTRY should it not.
Nah I don't live in England.
That's why my location says I don't
sorry sunshine, hows the weather still scorching hot or cooling down

So if I understand you correctly the football club that I support now has an established political ideology?
And not just any old political ideaology either; because if as you believe BHA represents 'everyone regardless of their creed, religion, gender or persuasion' then the club is in the grip of Marxists. Someone better tell the Palace fans living in the Brighton area they might not be aware of this arrangement.
But then its not is it, its just you and your own personal Marxist wet dream that BHA might develop a political left of centre ideology............to paraphrase another deluded BHA fan.
The reality is that BHA cares about just one single constituency of people from the 'community' and that is those prepared to pay week in week out to go a support them. And rightly so.............that's it.
You may well be disturbed that there are BHA fans out there who do not share your political outlook, aspirations and behave like you do, but now you need to get over it..........its not your club.
Sunshine, I don't give a flying f*** what has happened in Paddyland in the past. The song is a good rousing ENGLISH song - a country that I am proud to have been born in. A nation which has a proud history of imperialism over many centuries.
Except for the fact that it actually comes from Northern Ireland and is only English in your deluded, and quite clearly little, mind. Considering your previous post on the matter quite clearly gave "a flying f***" about religious politics, its also clear your memory span is amazingly short.
Its a Northern Irish Unionist song, and you'd probably be amazed to find that not one of those Unionists actually feels English. British, but not English.
The Hereford match was important. But the survival of the Albion is because we managed to return to Brighton from Gillingham, re-establish ourselves and get permission (and the land) for a permanent home at Falmer.
None of that would have been possible without the support of a community that is bigger than the people who attend matches. That bigger community expressed itself through the vital support given to the Club by the City Council. And the City Council (and others) gave the Club support not because the Albion drew at Hereford, but because the community policies and mission statement deliver real benefits to the community.
Listen paddy. As I said before. In the form sung, it is an ENGLISH SONG. If it has been adapted from a loyalist one, well, so what?
I am fully aware that the people of Northern Ireland (or should I use its new prefered name of "The North of Ireland"?) are more aligned to the scots because of their celtic background. Hence boatloads of them going to Glasgow to watch their football matches. Just where did I claim they were english?
Jesus, no wonder people say so many thick irish jokes!
