Three Lions followers are to be probed by FIFA after singing anti-IRA song in the stands in Moscow last night.

FIFA is so bizarre and PC.

"No Surrender" has been sung on the terraces for years and is an anti IRA song.

It is unclear whether its lyrics would breach FIFA's rules on discrimination.


With St George in my heart keep me English
With St George in my heart I pray,
With St George in my heart keep me English,
Keep me English till my dying day.
No surrender, no surrender, no surrender to the IRA.
Scum!

No, it's an anti-Catholic song, as shown by its long history in Scotland and the morons singing it against the Croats.

The Croats broke England. Just like Italy/Uruguay in 2014, The Krauts in 2010, The Portuguese in 2006, etc.

Well apparently it's been sung all the time in English matches...

And it was sung at all the English matches in Russia.

But, only now is an investigation occuring because of what? The opponent?

So a song is discriminatory depending on who your opponent is? Maybe it's an English patriotic song?

They can't not sing a tradition just because there might be Catholics or Irish on the opposition's team.

You should reread this in your head and then delete it, because it makes you look like an idiot.

God, they're so scared of their own shadows

Like anyone is getting at all worked up by a sectarian jab. I understand if it's players, given that the tournament should be free of this shite, but this seems like extreme overkill, per normal.

Looking forward to them slapping a big fine on this


They’ve also fined Sterling and two other players £50k each for wearing unlicensed ankle supports....meanwhile they dish out half of that for blatant racial taunts

It's never been an issue. Until this last game.

You want to be overly sensitive, fine.

But it's an English song that even the ultra-PC UK news media can't understand the wrangling by FIFA.

I'm sure a lot of people would have problems with the US singing God Bless America at the WC because God was invoked.
