docspiderman 1,260 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Certainly racist and offensive if sung at Irish, Southern and Northern. Certainly not if sung at Scottish born people, especially those whose with links to Ireland are only borne from a grey and green shirt or a long standing chip on a shoulder.

BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Its also stupid as the famine affected the North as well as the south...are we sending our Ulster fans home too? It's got absolutely nothing to do with those who were killed or affected by the Famine. To suggest so is just nonsense. The song is basically directed at Scottish-born Celtic supporters who hold more of an affinity with another country than their own. These supporters constantly mourn the Famine and claim it as part of their heritage. So we simply pose the question: It's over, why not go "home"? Is that clear enough for you, or do you just like to be offended on someone else's behalf? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people who are ignorant of the real targets of the song are using the Famine aspect to portray it as being anti-Irish racism. Despite it being sung at fans of a Scottish football team. There is the real racism there. Claiming that a Scottish football can be victims of anti-Irish racism. I've never heard so much nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These kind of songs just land us in the shit every time. When a song has very few lyrics but do include "go home" it can be interpretated as a Racist phrase. Im sorry but it can... And if it has nothing to do with the migration of the victims of the famine then why mention this? Explain why the mention of the famine is there?...Im all for winding the scum up ...but not at the expense of the club through bad publicity and the possibility of fines and points being removed..And also if we are talking about people who care about another country more than their own...does that mean that we shouldnt fly the Northern Ireland flags...no i dont think so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffbear 4,104 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I canny believe some Rangers fans on here defending the people who say the Famine song is rascist. Fur fuck sake" The Famine is over why don't you go home?" is a ditty aimed at winding up that idiotic Irish lovers at the Tattie dome,some of whom have no Irish decent.... They came over here at the height of the Famine and settled...That was in the 1840's.........Before the American civil war for christ sake..... It's now 2009 and some of their great great great great and even great grand kids still think they are Irish,they still march with their Irish flags,they still sing Anti British songs,they sing anti monarchy songs and proclaim themselves Irish and not British.....so all we're saying is. Tha Famine ended 160 years ago so if you still love the old country then WHY don't you go back to the old country and leave the people who love our country to stay here..

Simples Im not saying that it is racist...what im saying is that it can be interpreted as being so...the song is not specific enough to be aimed at these people..we are just giving amunition to the scum by singing it. If there was no mention of the famine and other words were used to make it more specific then it could not be misinterpreted as a racist ani-Irish song.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Biggest pile of nonsense i've heard in a while,its a dig at SCOTTISH Celt*c fans,and a very good one at that.

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I don't think any rangers fan will claim the song is racist, of course it isn't but the song has run into trouble for various reasons "why don't you go home" is clumsy rhetoric that wouldn't sound out of place at a far right rally. It doesn’t matter who you are singing it to and your intentions behind it….. it's very easy to misrepresent The masked morons from you tube that put horrifically bad verses round this song have made it easy for the press and judiciary to say we are just singing the chorus to a racist/bigoted song. The filth have badgered anyone who would listen about this song. How a support like there's gets allowed to take any type of moral high ground amuses me more than anything else. I hope we don't sing this in Europe next season as I believe we will get in trouble for it, anything who thinks we won't has the head buried deep in the sand Some days i am a happy man i don't need to live in the same country at these permantly offended inbreds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 9 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 If you answer yes to the first question then it really could have been you in court on these preposterous charges. How would you feel then? I presume that this will be another persecution of an individual Rangers fan that will be commented on but then ignored by the tens of thousands of our fans who have sung this song because it wasn't them or someone they know who was affected. This is the kind of situation where we should be united and make a stand. We all know that the song is not racist and that any Rangers fan could have been handed a criminal record for singing it but I'm pretty sure it will pass without anything being done to help this Rangers fan. Interestingly you make no attempt to suggest what you personally intend to do to 'help this fan'. You rather self righteously remove yourself from it and delegate it to everyone else in a slightly condescendingly manner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
