bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hodgson's plea comes in an email to all fans, who will also be handed an open letter from the Football Association about the sensitive issue as they enter Wembley on May 29. The chant is not criminal and those singing it cannot be arrested by the Metropolitan Police. But under Article 3 of the Fifa statutes: No Surrender (to the IRA) would be deemed deserving of punishment as a form of insult pertaining to the religious and political beliefs of a certain group of people. Possible sanctions range from a fine of 30,000 Swiss francs to England being ordered to play a game behind closed doors. Those supporters found guilty would face a stadium ban of a minimum of two years. Fifa recently decreed the FA had no case to answer over claims of 'bonfire' chants by England fans about Rio and Anton Ferdinand during the World Cup qualifier against San Marino in Serravalle on March 22. Yet it is understood the FA is effectively 'on notice' and any offensive chants at Wembley might incur Fifa's wrath. This will be the first meeting between the sides since England fans disgraced the team and the country with a pre-planned riot at Lansdowne Road on Feb 15, 1995. The friendly against Ireland will be followed by an away game in Brazil on June 2, and the matches are part of the FA's 150th anniversary celebrations. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/10066464/England-manager-Roy-Hodgson-tells-fans-to-cut-out-anti-IRA-songs-at-Ireland-friendly.htmlLifted from FF, you have to be taking the piss?

Creampuff 22,628 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 To be fair, as much as it shouldn't be legislated against, why turn up to a football match to sing about terrorists, for or against? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
