bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Sorry if this has been posted I couldn't see it anywhere.HE latest edition of a top football computer game has sparked a furious row - as it features virtual Rangers fans singing the controversial FAMINE SONG. The offensive chant is used as crowd noise on the soundtrack to Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 when gamers play Rangers at Ibrox. Outraged players have flooded internet forums complaining about the lyrics, which urge people of Irish descent to "go home" as the famine "is now over". Japanese firm Konami has now been forced to replace the soundbite on the game, which was released on October 8. Last night one player, who forked out £39.99 on a copy, said: "These lyrics don't belong on a video game which can be played by children. "The issue is already controversial for very obvious reasons. Gamers across Scotland, Ireland and the rest of the UK are furious these lyrics have been added to the game. "Decent Rangers fans who would never sing such offensive songs are angry that their club has been associated with these views." The song is so controversial it led to complaints to the Scottish Government from Irish authorities. PES 2011 is available on all major games consoles, including Xbox360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii. Last night Konami said it "will be correcting the issue" but refused to explain how the chants made it on to the game. But Rangers insisted the soundtrack was recorded in a studio and NOT on the terraces of a live match. It's thought an update, featuring other Rangers songs will be added to users' games when they go online. A spokesman for anti-sectarian charity Nil By Mouth said: "We're pleased the firm acted to make the changes."Read more: http://www.thescotti...l#ixzz13Ah8pFRT]"Decent Rangers fans who would never sing such offensive songs are angry that their club has been associated with these views."

They are a totally pointless and one sided organization.I thought they had been disbanded - but i'm not surprised they have reared their heads again at this time, the day before an OF game, but have been silent about indiscretions by timothy.

FlippinEck 3,702 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 In all honesty, im surprised its taken this long for this to be brought to attention, Celtic fans would have fired off emails of complaint in abundance the minute they got spanked off us in the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangledupinblue 0 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Pished myself at this.The Japanese company Komani are clearly part of the worldwide conspiracy to oppress ra sellick. How long til one of them writes to the manufacturers saying the referees in the game are all rangers fans and they never get a penalty? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
