Wolfe Tones singer Derek Warfield – who wrote the bands hit song Celtic Symphony – has said English authorities had “some neck” forcing the Irish women’s soccer team to apologise for singing their song.
Last October, the women’s soccer team were filmed chanting ‘Up the Ra’ in their dressing room shortly after winning against Scotland in the World Cup play offs.
The Football Association of Ireland were fined €20,000 for the incident and the girls were forced to apologise for the video, which went viral.
