See the FA have chosen the time of the Hamas/Israel carnage to publicly warn Millwall about anti James McClean chants (last April). As ever no details of the abuse/chants are given and we are simply told that they are as such. Am I right in assuming that it refers to the chant used against him by many opposition fans including our own which relates to not surrendering to a particular paramilitary organisation, or is it something different/stronger?
 
Irish State Pension at 65 = £253.30 per week. UK State Pension at 65 = Fuck All.
There must be a good terrace ditty in there somewhere?
 
Nothing against the Irish whatsoever Its just a pet hate of mine offences not being detailed. Eventually I found the answer to my question

Millwall have been charged this week over fan abuse and an ‘offensive chant’ aimed at Wigan Athletic player James McClean.

The game, which ended in a 2-1 win for Wigan, was marred by “F*** the Pope and the IRA” chants. Now the FA is taking action after being urged to do so for a log while now.

The Football Association has charged Millwall for misconduct after its fans directed anti-Catholic chants towards James McClean in the Championship last season.

Irish state pension now starts at 66 compared to 67 here.
They get £219.64 to our £203.85.
Being that exact may ruin the ditty.
 
And Irish prices are higher than the UK. In 2018 they were measured at 14% higher which would makes us marginally better off (but probably not enough to add another verse to Rule Britannia)

Yet "When the Saints Go Marching In" is allowed...

A song that celebrates and calls for the realisation of the Book of Revelation. In detail...

Great earthquakes, every mountain and island moved out of place, earth devastated, one third of trees and grass burned, third of sea creatures killed, third of ships destroyed, third of rivers and water springs poisoned, locust that look like humans, with lions teeth and with scorpion powers to harm almost everyone.

200 million soldiers rise in Iraq that kill a third of mankind with plagues of fire, smoke and brimstone. Then a dragon takes a third of the stars and thrashes them to earth with his tail. This dragon hangs around a pregnant woman in a white robe, so that it can eat the baby. She manages to escape and God keeps her alive for 3 and half years.

Then the Devil wages a war in heaven and loses. Some seven-headed beast comes out of the sea and the Dragon gives it some powers, for 42 months. This beast wins against the Saints, whoever they are. Then another beast comes out of the earth, with two horns that speaks like a dragon. People are directed to make an image of the sea beast and get the old 666 thing going on.

Now things get nasty. The seven bowls. All followers of the beast get foul and malignant sores, the sea turns to blood and everything in it dies, all fresh water turns to blood, the sun scorches the earth and burns people, total darkness (somehow), Armageddon kicks off and all mountains and islands disappear.

Then a great harlot sits on a scarlet beast. New Babylon is destroyed. The beast and false prophet are cast into a lake of fire. The dragon is imprisoned for 1,000 years. Christ and some martyrs rule for 1,000 years. After a 1,000 years, the dragon is released and begins to deceive again. Loses again. Back to the lake of fire again.

Then we have the Last Judgement. We are all off to the lake of fire. The new heaven and earth. No more suffering or death. A new Jerusalem. The curse of sin is ended.

All that is OK, but you can't sing about having sex with a bloke in a big hat and some Irish dissidents?

If they really want to sing an anti-Catholic chant, they just need to be more subtle:

Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
(Come on, baby, do the reformation)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on, baby, do the reformation)
