The emergence of "Zombie" by The Cranberries as an Irish sporting anthem

You're grand, I certainly get that most rugby fans are decent and were just having a singalong.

how do you feel about the many murders rapists and assorted other criminals associated with sf

the ongoing criminality the dodgy dealings bot farms connections with narco terrorists ,

the outright blatant lies told even here about historical facts , there are posters here who are claiming to have "won" the troubles and that sfira fought a clean war, which consisted mostly of shooting unarmed civilians and children (proxy) bombing and sniping at soldiers if it wasn't too dangerous for themselves

are they people you can trust ?

I know a few decent grassroots shinners who left when they realized what the party really was or do you think the army council really have your best interests in mind ??

you would be happy with sf members in government who killed children tortured innocent men and women to death to cover their own touting ? people who are still involved n smuggling and gangland crime ?

like many shinner posters you are trying to conflate disgust for sfira with love trust or even tolerance for the current government. its a well established pattern. for the record if you lie , i think leo is the worsts possible kind of populist and is much more interested in his own personal progress than the nations.

handing the keys of power as you say to a organized crime gang isn't going to improve housing , priory hall anyone ?

What sf candidate killed children? Sorry, you sound a bit deranged with that.

I thought it was just a singalong?

Is a rugby match really the place for that?

And wouldn't it depend who they're calling out for child murder? I've heard all sorts, but has this turned into some kind of a broader anti-child murder campaign now?

Would ye give it a rest.

Sing the song for a singalong if you like. But if your there to make some sort of political point I'd prefer if you just stayed at home.

I don't think anyone wants that nonsense, and I'm not trying to censor you or cancel you.

One group at a match co-opting songs to have a go at sf, another crowd having a go at FFG (Fields of Athenry might work here?), nobody wants that.

Jesus wept !! thats your take away from wanting to put a crime gang in power ?

how many terrorists were never convicted for their crimes. how many got out of jail under GFA ? how many are now sf party members.

do you know ? no because no one knows and the party isnt going to tell you , tip of the iceberg of what you will never be told about sf

You've been trying to censor or cancel, under various different guises, the song since you came into the thread. It was and is your sole agenda, you're not interested in any debate on the matter, you just want the song banned.

I have no doubt you saw the tweets on page one, how did you magically get to page 5 without seeing them, agreed with them but decided to masquerade as a concerned citizen worried about offending someone.

Now that the mask has slipped you've moved to full on SF party political broadcast mode, in order to try and mitigate the damage, whereas I imagine SF just want this to go away, as they can neither support the song nor condemn it.

the colonies only achieved independance through some violence, and the fact britain was no longer able to afford the empire as it was bankrupt after the war.

the US diaspora would not have been able to simply shame britain into implementing equal rights in northern ireland, the fact britain shot civil rights protesters off the streets on bloody sunday proved that britain was never going to implement any rights for the nationalist community without violence.

the PIRA was a necessity, that's just the reality.

the amount of people who will vote for sinn fein and who plan to vote for sinn fein says otherwise.

most people don't care about sinn fein's legacy seeing as ffg have the same legacy.

Sorry what is this issue that YOU are introducing that you're accusing me of introducing that I didn't mention?

Be very careful about trying to put words in my mouth.

I pick Dreams because I think it works better as a sporting song.

Also I don't think anyone will be offended by it or be trying to turn it into anything else.

And is deluded if thinking that SF will deliver on any of that any more than FFG....

Dessie Ellis?

He was certainly convicted of bomb-making and did time for it. Did any of his bombs kill children?

Think I'll bookmark this post. If you are genuine, you will be back here within 18 months of SF taking power, complaining about how you were betrayed.
