K.A.I 36,183 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Why did that BBC Scotland documentary there say with great delight "previously unseen footage" and show the Rangers team in the Tannadice dressing room in 1990 singing Billy Boys with the add/ons including Fuck The Pope and the Vatican and fenian blood? Theyve had this footage for almost 30 years but have a show with Spiers, Cosgrove, McKenna, Tom Devine, Jock Brown, Fergus McCann (couple of minor words from their token Gers men McPherson, Traynor) Why reel that out now? The programme was about Scottish football and it's changing landscape I know it won't happen because the pricks in charge of our club are the types who would ban a fan in the stand for singing it but rub hands with the players in the dressing room if they were celebrating that way but any player or official that gives as much as the BBC a nod or a word in future should be thrown out the club clear agendas here - even if you know who's gonna come on and say otherwise Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they knew exactly what they were doing with that footage of the players singing , utterly irrelevant in the context of the show , but anything to open a can of worms in the first season rangers are back in the premier league and weeks before an old firm game . It even at one point tried to make out like rangers were somehow to blame for the rise of Thatcherism Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fought hard against my undoubted bias but the series has started as I thot it would with a blame Rangers angle. There were minor references and footage of 'them' and references to what they believe but once again the majority is anti gers. The next few programmes will be interesting.

RFCRobertson 11,787 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I really don't get the mentality of the people who brand chants as being harmful. It's the most backwards thing in the whole world. Singing a song can get you in more trouble than punching someone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are offended by everything though, the bad man said this, the bad man said that. Fairly certain it all proper kicked off with the famine song being banned, might be wrong. Would happily go back to the days where we filled a stadium, they sang whatever they wanted, we sang whatever we wanted, the atmosphere was unreal and then at the final whistle we all leave with our own fans and that's that.

Exactly, the world is in a rotten place right now. Where people get offended on other people's behalfs or actively seek to be offended. A lot of humanity is sacrificed when you think about being PC, end of the day it depends on the context that it's used in. If someone says it in a spiteful way then yeah, get offended or what not. But if someone tweets something like this, and people get offended, calling it racist and such. Then there is a massive problem with how literal people take the world.

Great point - I recently got found guilty of 3/4 assaults yet a boy singing the Billy boys a few months back got 4 months this is SNP and Police Scotland Scotland absolute joke of a place one thing I agreed with that bitter old cunt Devine on sectarianism is non existent yet there's never been so much money time and legislation focuses on it mental Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonRunt 978 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I just fired off a complaint to BBC Scotland, most likely wasting my time. How do i join this Paranoid Protestant club? Is there an application form or is just a case of trial by ordeal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
