  • ... that the Football Association has asked England fans to stop singing "No Surrender to the IRA"? "The Football Association is emailing England fans asking them not to indulge in "offensive songs" when their team play the Republic of Ireland at Wembley on Wednesday night. It's safe to assume there's one song they have particularly in mind." from: Rohrer, Finlo (29 May 2013). "Why do England fans sing No Surrender?". BBC News. Retrieved 19 June 2020.

  • . New enough, long enough, neutrally written, plenty of sources, copyvio issues due to quotes, no image and QPQ provided. Hooks are in the article. I prefer the proposed hook or ALT2. Hook facts are followed by inline citation and it is the cited sources. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:21, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

[edit]

@Dumelow: just wondering why there are parentheses in the title of this article? I can't see it rendered that way in sources, although obviously many do just call it "No Surrender". And in the DYK nom above you've titled it as simply "No Surrender to the IRA". Wondering if it would make sense to move the article to that title?

Hi Amakuru. All the sources apart from the Telegraph refer to it as "No Surrender", the Telegraph calls it "No Surrender to the IRA". It could conceivably sit at No Surrender (football chant), but I think this is more elegant. I used the full name in the hooks as otherwise the context is lost - Dumelow (talk) 11:16, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Dumelow: alright then, thanks for the response. I'll just leave it alone then, not a biggy anyway! Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 11:47, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
