FOCUS and Alleged Banned Songs - The Louden Tavern: Ibrox Stadium

[KingKai 439]

How can any UVF reference in We're coming down the road be perceived as offensive or sectarian or whatever?

Probably to any normal person it isn't.

Are we dealing with normal people???

[Eric_Caldow 60]

Is this more Hocus Pocus by Focus?

No doubt they'll be instrumental in removing all the lyrics from the songs.

[cameron1873 511]

I think this is a very fair statement.

[ger4life_1872 29,513]

I would have thought that it wasn't focus job too decide what was legal or not , the police don't make the law they only enforce it , it would be the decision of a judge too decide imo

Exactly!

I had the unfortunate experience of having to walk by a manky boozer on Old Firm day December 2011, what I heard coming out from it was disgusting, made my blood boil, and to cap it off it was right outside the stadium so plenty of coppers about, nothing was said or done. I wonder if FOCUS have an issue with that hellhole of a place.

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

Are Focus coming into the pub to listen to the songs? If not then whats the problem?

Do focus usually have chats with pub owners? Have they had any wee chats with pub owners from the gallowgate?

The OP phoned Focus...

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

It's alo of shite what was it the polis used to say to you? Keep it for pubs or clubs but don't sing them at the game?

Well people have started doing this and only sing these songs when among other Rangers supporters in Rangers pubs were no cunt will be offended by anything.

So whats there problem?

I wonder if they go to the Gallowgate or even Royston rd and tell the gypo cunts the same thing?

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,421]

Fuck Focus!

Aye....Fuck theym. Ave no focused fir 33 year and urny gona start noo! hic

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

But focus have been lurking around the pub since last season i wonder if they do the same outside the gallowgate pubs? As all they ever play is IRA music.

[elephants stoned 2,994]

Good to see a sensible and rational course of action LT, lets play smart on this and look towards anything that can end this anti-Loyalist/Unionist discrimination in Scotland.

How do you know what pubs are playing IRA music?

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

Walked past them many times on a normal week day.

[Gazzanova 328]

Focus and every jobsworth officer they have working for them can suck my dick. Absolute scum of the earth that lot......up to our knees

[OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475]

Got it in one!

[*Manticore* 1,893]

It is downright sinister what is going on in this country.

[Blue Nosed Babe 20,680]

TBH whenever I hear those songs I always associate them with those who lost their lives in the Great War and not with any proscribed organisation who bastardised the initials of the original UVF.

I believe a lot of Rangers fans feel the same about this.

It is not OUR fault that a lot of people hear the songs and automatically think proscribed organisation.

It is not OUR fault that people are not properly educated about the sacrifices many made in that war.

Our songs, taking the words into account MAY have ambiguity as to who they are about for those who are not Rangers fans, therefore one day they are likely to be argued about in courts thanks to the stupid SNP law.

Rangers fans though KNOW who they are singing about and it is not proscribed organisations, unlike the scum from the East where there is absolutely no doubt as to who they sing about.

[nachothelegend 1,932]

List list we need a list then we wouldn't need to go through all this shit.

It would also be a disclaimer.

[Bossorange 696]

We're coming down the road is about the least offensive so g you could have

It's pathetic with these fuckers.

is it about the 36th ulster division fighting against the Germans during the war mate?

[1st_Jan_1994 4,868]

Wonder how long before some wee hypocritical prick comes on moaning its nothing to do with Rangers

[Young Citizen 7]

so you can praise the ira and pira yet any mention of uvf ycv uda etc and its death by firing squad.

Singing songs about the 36th division UVF or thev14th battalion royal Irish rifles YCV is okay. However,songs about the UDA ain't.
