Sound lads

Surprise, surprise.
Says it all about Scottish football that they have to create bigotry to keep themselves entertained.

 

[clint van damme]

Nothing to see here, what’s up mate?
They aren’t doing anything wrong are they?

You think chanting about hating people of a certain religion is OK?
Strange.

Mmmm my spreadsheet oddly can’t find any criticism from David or anyone else regarding the charming ditties sung at Celtic park over the years

Thats absolutely desperate from you. A chant aimed at 1.2 billion of the world's population and you mumble something about o'day.

i don’t mumble anything - he once again has introduced a sectarian argument to promote an agenda which will detract from the football discussion - I don’t think some football fans are chanting against 1.2 billion people

But thats what they're doing whether you think so or not.
I don't think these chants, or others from rangers and celtic should be sung at football and I certainly wouldn't be excusing sectarianism or racism because I had a beef with one poster.

The fawning over both teams that goes on on here is weird.

Who introduced the clip?

I understand that, but I'm not sure how why that makes it ok to excuse its content.

Do you think he introduced it as he’s genuinely shocked offended and needs counselling as 1.2 billion catholics have been victimised or because he wants to promote his republican agenda?

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

They threw bottles at the Germans.

The videos are on twitter

How many Rangers fans were arrested, IRA supporter ?

 

[clint van damme]

Eh? Are you serious? It's aimed at1.2 billion catholics worldwide, if he's trying to introduce a republican agenda then he's so far wide of the mark it's unreal.
Your beef is affecting the pair of you, I don't know why you don't just block each other and stick to it.

All it does it just make them look like a bunch of bellends. Half their team are probably Catholics and they’re singing it in a Catholic country. It’s hardly a great advert of Scotland and Britain.

Rangers fans are singing it against Celtic fans. Do you honestly honestly believe Chelsea fans were raving fully committed Nazis opposed to the whole of the Jewish population when they sang the singing the blues song?

Fucking hell!

Do you think the word Hun is a derogatory term?

A new campaign is trying to ban the word 'hun'

Widely used as a shortened term for 'honey', Rangers argue that 'hun' should be made illegal due to its derogatory connotations

True but to suggest this was bought up by IRA other than to promote a republican agenda is ridiculous and I suppose he’a achieved what he wanted

I mean the average football fan will sing any old shite especially something that offends the Auld enemy

What has that got to do with the chant being discussed here?
The equivalent would be singing songs against protestants and I wouldn't think that was OK.

Going by your logic you would think its OK but I wouldn't agree.

And I think the campaign you linked failed.

Not sure the average fan would sing about hating certain religious groups, personally.

I'm not sure posting against a sectarian slur equates to calling for a united Ireland.

I was only asking your opinion if the term is acceptable?

 

[Grendel]

The average Celtic and rangers fans would

The average Chelsea fan did.

 

[clint van damme]

Not really, no.
But if it was proven to be sectarian then I would say it shouldn't be used.

 

[clint van damme]

The average Chelsea fan did.

And your excusing one example which is fair enough if you think it's OK. I don't.
There was a big mob of Chelsea outside the Brew and Baker once singing anti Jewish songs and they were quite appalling to be honest.

 

[Grendel]

Not really, no.
But if it was proven to be sectarian then I would say it shouldn't be used.

So it’s an offence under the race relations act to use the word ADM used?

No idea, I consider it offensive.
Weird you're defending him.

I know you consider it offensive but it’s no more illegal or offensive than using Hun to a Protestant from their perspective is it.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

If I wanted a united Ireland, I'd be aiming a bit higher in my cunning plan than highlighting some Rangers knobheads tbh.

O'Drivel has got exactly what we wanted out of this thread I see. What a hateful man

Well hun is aimed at people associated with a football club, regardless of their background and taig is aimed at a certain group based on their nationality and religion so I think there's a difference.

That’s interesting because wasn’t someone convicted of a religious breach of peace by wearing a t shirt with Hun on it as it was considered anti Protestant of Scotland and liable to incite violence?

I don't agree with targeting anyone based on their religion simple as that. Though I'm fairly sure othe clubs call rangers supporters huns including hearts which is also a strongly protestant club.
