After what was generally a great day at the Amex yesterday, as an Irish adopted Brightonian with family over for the weekend who I'd brought to the match (duly converted - they loved it!), can't say it was a great experience for us to hear quite a sizeable group of drunken Albion 'fans' aggressively belting out 'No surrender to the IRA' (and other flag-waving tunes more generally associated with Chelsea and Rangers) on the train back to Brighton late yesterday afternoon... first time I've heard that kinda shite from Albion fans and my first match was at the Goldstone about 20 years ago...so, do you lot encounter this kinda thing much??
A few Albion 'fans' being nationalistic ****s on the train last night...a rare occurrence?

Perhaps you should have been at Huddersfield a few years ago when some of the fanzine people took it upon themselves the police this type of thing which was disgraceful.

Drunk people singing old songs shocker. Maybe the words need updating to IS.

F'ing hell not heard that sung in years apart from at England games. As I am from an Irish family as well I wish these dicks would f*ck off

There's more to the words than a mention of the IRA. "No surrender" refers directly to a slogan closely associated with Sir Edward Carson, anti-home rule campaigner back in the nineteenth century.
Sir Edward Carson had a cat,
It sat upon a fender
And every time it caught a rat,
It shouted "No surrender!!"

Do people really get offended by this song?
If this did happen (and it's a very big if because it smells a bit like bullshit) it was just a few pissed up toerags, hardly anything to worry about (just like the Huddersfield incident).
Would people start a thread because they heard two fans discussing tax avoidance or putting the rent up on their property portfolio? Because they've probably done more damage to society than a few kids singing a song.

It's a Pro-English & Anti Irish Terrorist song.
Who are we getting offended on behalf of? Irish terrorists?

Make the lyrics ISIS themed?
Half the nation will be screaming out for a policeman and fainting on the streets, on behalf of all Muslims.

Anti IRA terrorist scum song is sang by football fans, so what.
Nothing to see here move along everyone
Hopefully the guests weren't IRA sympathisers, if not why would they have their day spoiled?

The human race can be split into three categories; those below average intelligence, those of average intelligence and those above average intelligence. Unfortunately, you came across a group of the former. Best to ignore them and leave them to get on with their simple pleasures, for simple is what they are.
