Guardian 4,281 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Will focus be chasing the paper for printing it ? Could that not have been more easily dealt with by some polis going over and saying "Cut it out or yer lifted ?"Seems more like they went up there looking for it.

Coop 654 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I don't that'll stop the cops. The judge said it was a lack of evidence rather than he's not bothered about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenosebrad 452 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The accused thanked Grand master Sheriff Sutherland that in future he will sing it louder so that people from outside the ground on the otherside the park can hear him sing to.

"Fenian" doesn't apply to all Irish Catholics, only those people who support modern day organisations with similar aims to the Fenian Brotherhood.I'm sure you knew that already, but it is always good to spell it out.

Craig53 326 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The match he said was being broadcast live on Rangers TV and the police were approached by a member of the film crew who raised concerns that the words of the song were being picked up by their microphonesAt least we know where RTV stand, eh?

West_Side 1,571 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The Fenian Brotherhood was an Irish terrorist organisation that campaigned for Irish independence from the UK. "Fenian" doesn't apply to all Irish Catholics, only those people who support modern day organisations with similar aims to the Fenian Brotherhood.To add to that, it's an anglicisation of the old gaelic word Fianna, which was a term for a small band of landless independent warriors in Medieval Ireland and Scotland. (This in turn came from the word fian, a collective noun for landless young men). The Fianna play a very prominent role in Irish mythology, and are the centre of many stories. These stories are collectively known as the Fenian Cycle.As you said, the name was then appropriated by the Fenian Brotherhood.So in its historic usage there is certainly no doubt that it refers to armed republican factions. The problem lies in the fact that so many people think of it as a word for an Irish Catholic, that it has become just that. Language evolves, and words change meaning over time.

ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 "Most of the Brora fans, he said, were in the main stand with the Rangers fans congregating in the enclosure on the opposite side of the pitch.He said he was using a video camera from the stand side targeting the fans across the pitch in the enclosure when, ten minutes into the game, they began singing the song ‘Super Rangers"So why the need for a camera then if both supporters were sitting together? Looking for trouble were you ya fucking roaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
