I don;t have a problem with what they sung to be honest

The IRA is a terrorist group who have murdered many, may people. They were not singing anti catholic songs. England fans have sung anti IRA songs for years and years and years at games both in England and abroad dating back to the time when the IRA were still trying to blow us up on our own streets. Rule Brittania and other songs that are also being complained about are also sung at every England game.

Clearly wasn't that "inciteful" since there was no trouble after the game. In any event who would be offended or incited by a song which is anti a terrorist organisation?
