Jimenez 1 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I cannot believe this. What a joke! SNP MSP Michael Matheson said: “It is important that the police and football clubs are aware of the sinister background to this song, and take the appropriate action against individuals and groups who use it at matches or in other situations to taunt Catholics. And this guy actually gets to help run the country. I can believe it. Boab will swear by his empire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUEDIGNITY 33,658 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Incidentally, does this mean the tims song, using the tune and idea of Hokey Cokey, with the words "Holy Goalie" and "h*n" along with a mention of blessing, have a massively sectarian song, given its supposed religious history, as purported by said Priest? P.S. There was a version a Real Radio caller had, with "You put your left arm in. You put your left arm out! You drop the ball and you turn around. It's 3-1 to Rangers and you're on the ground, That's what it's all about. Oh, do the Artur Boruc! Oh, do the Artur Boruc!" You put your right arm up You put your left arm down You miss the ball and you look like a clown You do the holey goalie you turn around Next thing you're two goals down! holey holey goalie holey holey goalie Next thing you're two goals down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermopylae 15,287 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 One of the British Lions said that the haka was the the hokey cokey with attitude, so does that make the haka sectarian because of its hokey cokey roots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltonLoyal 2 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Am i the only one who thinks this is an absolute Godsend? This is perceived as one of the most fun, harmless songs ever regardless of it's origins. We need to belt this out, full blast with gusto and as many actions as space will allow you next week! They know what it's about after this publicity, but even they cannot possibly get away with moping about this one. An ideal oppportunity to get one over on them arseholing b*stards once and for all IMO. Even Strathclyde's finest will surely not stoop to arresting people for singing a party song that has been in use for hundreds of years, that is, as long as the ORIGINAL words are adhered to.

1873TheYearThatWas 2 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Just saw Henry Kelly (remember him? - Game for a Laugh) reviewing the days papers on Sky News. As a true paddy I suppose he's quite in his right to comment on the subject, and he had selected this story as one that he wanted to go over. He was cut short by the commercial break coming up, but you could see the disbelief in his face that this was actually regarded as "news" and that he thought the whole thing was bollocks. Was in the middle of saying that the paper in question was suggesting that Rangers fans "might" sing this to Celtic fans. Screwed his face up when saying this. Promptly cut to a break. Hats off to him for a paddy to dismiss this as shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepeter 5,627 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 This is absolute gold. I really hope that all bears who are involved in supporters groups, and all those who go independently, are aware of this and sing it full volume on Saturday. The original words are fine, it will wind them up and there is nothing they can do about it. This is truly what we have been waiting for.

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 If you look at the article, where it talks about us....Supporters of Rangers football club have been banned from singing sectarian songs at the club’s ground but discussions are taking place on fan websites about singing the Hokey Cokey at matches. Politicians have urged the police to arrest anyone caught singing the song in a sectarian context under legislation on incitement to religious hatred. ..it is all supposition. No statement has been made about the song, it's never sung, other than by Celtic fans(in a way that's easily construed as sectarian) and the quoted "discussion" on Rangers sites came after this bizarre article, based on bizarre complaints. I haven't heard one story of police urging politicians to be alert to this song, apart from this dodgy mention of Michael Matheson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepeter 5,627 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I seriously think that the best thing that could happen is for a heap of people to get arrested for singing this. Obviously not best for the people arrested, but can you imagine? It would get laughed out of court, the whole thing would be relentlessly mocked, and we might (just might) get the police to realise how ridiculous they are being.

Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 As long as the RC Church can keep dredging up deflections like this it will stop people from focusing on what they are really up to in their chapels and schools. http://www.bishop-accountability.org/pries...lastName-S.html I see Billy Connolly came out last week and called for a United Nations inquiry in to the global abuse by RC priests. If the Boy Scouts had the convictions this lot had they would have been forcibly disbanded years ago. Instead of dealing with it this mob turn the spotlight on Rangers - deflect deflect deflect. When oh when will our hierarchy and the press realise what their game is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue87 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 What the hell has happened to this world? Football has been bastardized by PC cunts and commercialisation in an unbelievable way. Why don't they just skip 5 years and announce "Any fan caught celebrating a goal and thus offending the opponents' fans will be jailed immediately.".

WVB 2,560 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 This is a gift from a protestant God. We must exploit this Absolutely. Guys, don't alter the words.

I used to be an atheist but I now believe in a comical Protestant God I'm coming round to that idea myself! Am i the only one who thinks this is an absolute Godsend? You most certainly are not!
