Irish soccer fans displayed a calloused reaction to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, as a video shows crowds joyously shouting “Lizzy’s in a box” on Thursday.
The Shamrock Rovers issued a statement following the game, which ended in a draw, condemning fans who openly mocked and celebrated the passing of the Queen.
“Shamrock Rovers F.C. has been made aware of chants by a group of individuals at last night’s game,” the statementSuch “is not acceptable at our club and is against the values that Shamrock Rovers F.C. stands for,” the statement continued. “Our ground regulations issued on match tickets and on signage at entry strictly prohibits such activity. This is also announced over the PA system before all of our games in Tallaght Stadium: ‘Shamrock Rovers Football Club welcomes all supporters to its grounds and condemns any form of bigotry and discrimination in soccer,” the statement read.
“Shamrock Rovers Football Club does not condone hostile abuse of individual players, spectators, or officials based on ethnic or cultural background, nationality, or religious affiliation,” it continued, warning that those who violate those standards “will face ejection from the ground and will be reported to the Gardaí.”
However , that is hardly the only instance of viral celebration. Another video, reportedly taken in Derry City, Ireland, features individuals honking their cars in celebration of the 96-year-old’s death.
