Another good swerve...Still don't condone what they sang.
I think its has alot to do with the whole thread, Irish/Celtic folk like to cover/excuse what certain words/chants mean.
Always an excuse.
Yawn!! The celtic fans were wrong to abuse british soldiers in the clip!! I said that at the time. I support the Football team so what other peoples views or political views has nothing to do with me! I am sure the Celtic Football Club feel the same. Deegan was having banter with a friend, he said something jokingly to James that offended some he appologised. Why idiots want to transfer that into a rant about bombings in coventry or supporting the IRA is beyond me. He never said that. Over the top a tad. (that is also a joke not a reference to the 1st world war in case, you bring that up too )
No-one claiming the moral high ground but the whole attitude regarding Deegan saying its 'only Up the RA' need to look at the bigger picture.
I for one would love to see Gerry Adams dead as he is a horrible man. I personally wouldn't like to see any British soliders dead.
Just because Rangers fans are by and large all die hard unionists doesn't make their bigotry any more excusable.
So you are only classed as Scum, if you threaten or kill someone YOU like!! Priceless!!
Gerry Adams, c**t of a man. Yes or No?
Well then look up 'I was Born Under a Union Jack' on YouTube and sing your heart out.
Yes,
do i wish death on anyone....No.
As an outsider.....how you finding the Human Race?
Gerry Adams, c**t of a man. Yes or No?
What they sing has much to do with us. IRA bombed this city of ours. They bombed our country on many occassion.
They boo and threat our servicemen at football matches. Scum to the earth and Deegan seems to agree partly when he says up the RA.
If there was no issue, why would it banned in football grounds?
Never heard of it but will do.
I see the pro IRA are out in force sticking up for Deegan and bringing Rangers into the equation. Priceless.
I doubt it, probably just a slap on the wrist.Can't be bothered to read 16 pages of insanity, but I just saw on another thread he will likely be fired: is this true? After the shit Suarez and Terry got away with-are we insane?!?

Cheers lads, that sorted the reality from the outrage without me having to read through it all!
This thread is one for the sixth form debating society. It's stupid.
Classic out of season stuff, then: nothing much to talk about, so anything gets a lot of attention.
Can we close this thread now ? Can't see how this is still football related (well for the last 10 pages at least) no more can be said about the situation that won't wind somebody else up
not sure to much is going to happen when the season starts though !
Does for me, they don't hate British soliders and wish death on them and sing pro IRA songs.
Gerry Adams was/is scum and horrible human. If they sang about him i'd join in.
No we would get sued to high heaven for unfair dismisal. That would cost SISU more then the wages they maybe thinking they can save, so no chance.
SISU's Lawyer "Deegan brought the club into disripute "
Deegan's Lawyer "He supports the unity of Ireland, he does not agree with terrorism or violence. Your actions in sacking him have created the false impression that he supports terrorism, 2 million for the damages to his reputation please. Plus, the remainder of his contract please." Deegan gets signing on fee somewhere else.
What an odd point of view to have. Why close the thread? If you don't want to read, how about don't enter the thread?
Bizarre.
you are just scum, you have no clue about anything.British soliders killed a lot more innocent irish people than the IRA has brits.I do not condone or agree with what the IRA have done but you are just a hate mongering union jack lover.You are equivalent to those gun toting arab hating hicks in america, who can only see their side of the story. England invaded Ireland, the IRB early form of the IRA was the only way of getting our country back http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Rising and as an irishman that is one thing i will always be proud of!
if you think this a joke and good natured banter then crack on.
Like i said, i know what 'Up the RA means' and if you want to say otherwise then do. Not gonna change my feelings about situation.
Each to their own.
British soliders killed more innocent people then the IRA did over here??? Righto.
The IRA caused terror to this country for over 40 years.
I'm proud of my country and hate ANYONE who thinks is ok to come here and bomb it. If that makes me scum then fine.
The IRA Sinn Fein were scum and if you think I'm scum for thinking that then your just as bad as the bombers.
Kids were killed in plenty of bombs caused by the IRA and your saying our soliders are worse. Behave
Think you've proved with this quote what we all suspect, you're one of those laughable individuals who think singing 'No Surrender' is the pinnacle of patriotism. Take off the blinkers, see the quote for the context it was said in, perhaps read a good book on the history of Anglo-Irish relations and calm the feck down. A member of my own family was shot dead on his own doorstep by the IRA, admittedly before I was born but which my Mother remembers very well, and she doesn't even come close to the supposed raging indignation you are demonstrating here.
I think the British were causing terror in Ireland for well over 40 years.
Why is it not ok for Irishmen to hate the idea of people invading their country and murdering people, including children?
As for the History. What ever happened before I was born is irrevlant to me.
Luckily not everyone shares your point of view.
