He said: 'They have the right to sing a song of their choice and no crank should be on there telling them what to sing and how to sing it.'
A Wolfe Tones member has slammed "cranks" who he claims "forced" the Ireland women's soccer team to apologise for singing Celtic Symphony.It came after a number of players sung the song, which contains the lyrics 'Ooh ah, up the Ra', in the dressing room after they beat Scotland 1-0 at Hampden Park in Edinburgh on Tuesday night.The win sent them to their first ever World Cup finals. An Instagram Live taken by squad member Grace Moloney went viral in the aftermath.
But Wolfe Tones singer Brian Warfield told Newstalk's Lunchtime Live that the team were free to celebrate however they wanted. He added that he believed it to be a "stupid kind of argument" to suggest people should be prevented from singing about the IRA."They have the right to sing a song of their choice and no crank should be on there telling them what to sing and how to sing it.
