Colonel Mustard 380 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I was just thinking about the song in my thread title, and what the reaction might be if it made a comeback among the Rangers support.I mused that if we sang it, it would include 2 terms of debate in the "sectarian argument", and wondered how the MOPE and the sectarian industry would react to these words.OK, here we go for my explanation...The words of the song, for those too young to have been there, is...No pope priests or holy water,No home rule for Ireland,If I had a Tommy gun,I'd shoot every f****n h**,Just for walking on the Queen's highway.So, with the "banning" of the TBB anthem for the use of the word "f enian", and the refusal to act on the "Go home ya H***" and other use of the H word by the scum, how would the sectarian crusaders act towards a song with both words in the lyric?Would they go after "f enian" and ignore "h un"?Would they ignore both because they didn't want to chase them for "h un"?Or would they be forced to finally clamp down on both, making any reference to the H word an actionable crime against the tarriers, because the crusaders would have to keep up their stance against us using "f enian?It would be interesting to find out by singing the song. If nothing else happened, at least it's a good Proddy re-addition to the repertoire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermopylae 15,287 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Well we have state sponsored sectarian education in this country to promote popery and the hocus pocus of holy water so why shouldn't we put the other side of the argument Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBluebells 6,898 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Point well and truly missed.I said it would be banned regardless but whether or not they addressed the specifics ( such as condoning the use of either word ) would be in question.I could see them banning it because it is sectarian rather than actually say 'we banned it because of this word and that one'.Hardly point missed.

Blue Atheist 178 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The majority of Gers fans are non-religious now anyway and the numbers are growing at such a fast rate. Religion is a doomed tradition that nobody can protect. I get the point you were trying to make but i suspect regardless it would end up with the club being punished so its not worth even experimenting with. :21: :21: :mad: :21: :21: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
