OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Quoting myself from the other thread:According to Tom English (on Radio Scotland, just there), the SPFL don't have a policy of strict liability for the clubs in relation to such conduct, unlike UEFA. That means that the club is not held liable, if they do all they can, however you verify that. The clubs all agreed to this. He hopes they change that for this instance. I suspect that he will now use his platform in the media to campaign for this. However, does he want it to apply to just last night, or the semi final too, which would include the scum? I wonder.

Bears r us 31,319 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It will be interesting to see if King/PM are willing to take the fight to the SPFL, when they get control. As someone said earlier, surely playing back the match with selick and highlighting what they were singing plus their game on Thursday, would show the hypocrisy of it all.

UnionMen 411 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Quoting myself from the other thread:The whole aspect of clubs only having to prove that they have tried to prevent sectarian singing is a rule hand-written by Peter Lawell.

UnionMen 411 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 What is the actual history of singing the billy boys? And how far back does it go?Billy Fullerton would have his gang sing it while they sacrificed a catholic child in his honour on a big bonfire purposefully built and shaped liked a swastika...is the version the media & scum fans will tell you...The other version is that it derived from this adaptation of Marching Through Georgia Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weshallnotbemoved! 714 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 No coincidence that the front page of The Herald yesterday had a huge article on sectarianism, just in time to stoke the fires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minstral 5,375 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 If they get their way, we will soon have no songs to sing. To be honest, we are hated by most clubs fans, plus the media and press. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Is this actual, or based purely on Collymore's comments?The attention that cunt was getting last night became unbearable. He'll have been getting a semi at the attention the back of the North Stand was giving him. Every second song was about Stan fucking Collymore and that's exactly what he wanted.It even irritated me a wee bit that it was his girlfriend he assaulted, not his wife. If you're going to play into his hands, be accurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilliamofOrange 12 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I do actually. They are very smart, friendly, successful people who are only interested nominally in football, and especially not the baggage. Of course, I try to set them right but the fact remains they were potential fans lost to us thanks to the negative press surrounding stuff like this.We will lose generations of fans because of the negative spotlight we now find ourselves in.I know a few people that have been fans all of their lives but won't take kids to games because they don't want them exposed to the more questionable parts of the song book.We're not in the dark ages anymore and people don't want to be tarred by the element of our support that rejoice in singing songs that are blatantly offensive and hateful.

Christchurch Rangers 1,229 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I am sorry but this is pissing me off. Rangers are getting investigated for sectarian singing in the game against Raith yet I am pretty sure I heard the same songs being belted out at the recent OF game at Hampden. however the SPFL have decided NOT to take action against rangers/cellic fans at that game sorry for bbc link: "The Scottish Professional Football League is unlikely to take action against Celtic and Rangers over the behaviour of their fans at the recent League Cup semi-final" http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31492435 You can't go after fans at one game for singing sectarian songs whislt downplaying sectarian singing at another game! or is that because cellic were involved in one of the games so any investigation might catch their fans too where-as rangers v raith is easy pickings to get rangers fans. double fucking standards! if the law is to be implemented then lets see it implemented consistantly, not just every time a bear has a sing song.
