barclaystand 0 Posted March 25, 2011 I know not everyone knows the words to all the chants but I couldn''t believe the one I heard at Hull on Saturday.....Some fool just two seats away from me couldn''t get the simplest one right.Whilst the rest of us were all proudly shouting out ''Yarmy'' this plonker thought you''re supposed to shout IRA!Now if that was you and you can read this here''s an explanation.... IRA is an abbreviation for the Irish Republican Army (terrorists) and Yarmy is short for Yellow Army. Get it right ffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 0 Posted March 25, 2011 I always thought "Yarmy" was short for Yarmouth and that we had such a lot of support from there that it defied belief. Talking of Irish Rebel feelings. They will never go away and the Dublin crowd''s rendition of the "Fields of Athenry," .... You Tube by (Irish Famine,) when they beat England last week-end was moving to extremis, for me at least.

PKC 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Back in the 70s scum fans used to sing IRA - Ipswich republican army. They sung it at an away game at Villa shortly after the Birmingham pub bombings. Needless to say they got the beating they richly deserved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
