Adoniram 1,919 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Let's just say the more cynical among us already predicted the match would pass without incident to suit the Police agenda. They clearly heard the IRA songs because I heard them on TV. They would also have heard the Go Home Ya H*** as well but as ever no one wants to comment on h** being a derogatory and sectarian word for a Protestant.Budgets and political agendas decreed that this game would be policed differently to prove their point.

Adoniram 1,919 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 And I see Campbell Corrigan is now the 'event commander'Eddie Smith nowhere to be seen or heard from again....questions should be asked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 735 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I would vehemently dispute that comment, but anyway...can you tell me why (going by that logic), sectarian songs are reported, but other "illegal" ones are not?Dispute it if you like, rightly or wrongly, that's the legal stance at the moment. The IRA (assuming its 1960s onward or whenever) were a sectarian organisation, but singing in praise of an illegal terrorist organisation is also illegal, illicit or however tim journalists want to dress it up, but it's not sectarian.I did say look at the source. That should answer your question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger 270 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 BOTOB has not been banned yet so we could complain about it all day, will be outlawed if they continue to change the words in the song though about the IRAit has. the police have been very clear. "sing botob and we will attest you"I heard up the ra as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezrfc1 26 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Dunno why people give them so much attention, just as bad as each other greeting at each others songs, no wonder we can't do fuckall at the football these days! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the police say that neither set of fans were singing anything bad, so be it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywalker 377 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Fuck sake. Stop greeting about it in here and e-mail the police, ask them if they can hear the singing on the tape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Soprano 13,964 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Had that been Billy Boys at that volume there would be talk of point deduction and away support bans. Sick of this fucking pish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the police say that neither set of fans were singing anything bad, so be it.Thing is our fans stuck to the the guidelines being issued and the others didn't, one wee rendition of the Billy Boys or Famine Song and it would be a completely different story being printed in the papers.

RFC55 109,702 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Btw lets see if any of the brain boxes on here spot the difference. Old Firm leauge cup final police and MSP both state atmosphere was great. 1 day later every taig fan and even the catholic church were out in force saying how Rangers fans sang songs against catholics. We even had one dozy slut claim both fans "sectarian" songs but Rangers fans sang it louder .Now Rangers fans sing fuck all offensive and the taigs go through their IRA songbook and no one batters an eye lid. Fuck off wae that shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzalivesforever 1,990 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 These songs are not sectarian as they don't contain the lyrics "fuck the pope" or "f****n bastards". Nothing to report on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mithrandir713 8 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Will the word h** not be acted upon because it still isn't classed as a sectarian word? Do we need to contact the dictionary scholars to correct it's definition? Is the Catholic church a crime against everything that is good and pure in the world?

Loyalist_RFC 222 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Listen to the words of the original song and not the ones about joining the IRAThey sing about the old brigade in the original song, as I said already there is nothing in the words to deem the song to be sectarian unless you have read or know about the ethnic cleansing/sectarian killings they carried out between 1916-1920You do realise it is a battle with 90% of their songs as whether we like it or not it is a true fact that Protestants were in the IRA and that is where we are losing the fight by constant claiming their songs to be sectarian.So now the IRA or the Old Brigade wasn't a sectarian terrorist orginisation? You contradicting yourself there pal, The I Ran Away were set up to murder everything British and it doesn't matter if it was 1916 or 2011 they are based around the same concept hate Britain/Protestants. The Old Brigade was a Brigade in the I Ran Away so its sectarian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 the IRA are a sectarian murder gang but FFs the police say there was no singing at the game why not just accept that and move on instead of whining they sung a bad song.The constant quest to be offended by everything they do is more important to some than actually supporting Rangers seemingly.

The Boys of the Old Brigade who somehow through time have become portrayed as brave Socialist Freedom Fighters were actually Sectarian murderers, take the Massacre of Protestants in Cork at that time as just one example.
