ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Unbelievably Celtic intend to play the song Something Inside So Strong at Parkhead tomorrow.The song has been hijacked and became a favourite with IRA prisoners in the H-Blocks, and subsequently with a section of Celtic fans. Indeed, the former commanding officer of the PIRA prisoners in the Maze prison Brendan “Bik” McFarlane performs a version of it with the band he formed upon his release. It is also popular with other republican bands. McFarlane is himself a sectarian mass-murderer - he was jailed for life for a bomb attack on a Protestant bar, survivors escaping the bar were then fired upon, as the murderers escaped they then machne-gunned a taxi rank composed of women and children. Five people died (three men and two women). It’s almost beyond belief that Celtic FC would allow this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConorRFC51 38 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 It's about African oppression and advising African's to stand up against adversity. It's jusy commonly used/sung by those who consider themselves oppressed. It's a fucking cracking song too.I guess all those who have covered this song are now pro-IRA.

ConorRFC51 38 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sniff SniffAye, nae bother.Read up on it. It's an Anti-Apartheid song. It was sung and wrote by Labi Siffre. It may have been clung onto by Republicans but it's probably been used by many groups who consider themselves oppressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConorRFC51 38 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 And may I add, I never agreed or disagreed that it should be played at their game. Just merely stated what the song was wrote for. The OP seeemed to suggest it was a song for the IRA or whatever.Maybe I took it wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
