It could be sung about Lewis Allan, or Grant Anderson. Would people still find it an offensive song and still claim it to be racist? I didn’t think so. But it’s not sung about them, is it? That’s the whole point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Do any of there names fit in the chant? Yes. Both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 But it’s not sung about them, is it? That’s the whole point. So what you’re saying here is we shouldn’t be singing songs at football games about Mendy/Victoria etc? But it’d be ok to sing these same songs about Allan/Anderson? And you’re claiming the young team are the ones being racist? Seriously? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 We used to sing it about Eddie May years ago.So why does the song automatically become racist when it’s sung about Mendy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 So why does the song automatically become racist when it’s sung about Mendy? Why do you think Mendy is the subject of the song, and not Lewis Allan or Grant Anderson, as you suggest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modern world I'm afraid. Even when your bigging someone up they're no happy. I'd love folk singing about me having a massive cock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank conner Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Its because people are offended by anything and everything these days also when a player is out for no specific reason the first port of call is "mental issues"even though no one actually knows what's going on it's just the world we live in nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Why do you think Mendy is the subject of the song, and not Lewis Allan or Grant Anderson, as you suggest? Because he is a football player that plays for the football team that these boys support. Why aren’t people taking offence to the McGlynn song or the MacDonald song? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 35 minutes ago, mendys cock said: Only new singing I want to see this window is a new fan officer, this one is tragic and would rather see the entire stadium empty than have any atmosphere. This is the problem you've got here, and a problem that many young folk have in debates - absolutely nobody has said you guys should f**k off and stop singing. Arguments aren't always so black and white. You've been congratluated by just about everyone for the atmosphere you're lads are creating, but those same many are respectfully asking you to consider dropping one song which may be construed as offensive. The fact you're on here attacking those folk is not a good look for you or your team of mates. We had the same problem at Dumbarton with a group of young guys, took any slight criticism as an attack and started being aggressive towards other fans rather than considering if the criticism is valid. 10 minutes ago, mendys cock said: Why has everyone ignored this point? Why has everyone just skipped past it? Do Raith actually sing about Iain Davidson liking haggis? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Has anyone actually asked Mendy if 1. he does have a massive cock and 2. is he offended by the song. If the answer to 1. is no or 2. is yes then I would drop the song. Edited January 20, 2020 by Shadwell Dog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the answer to 1. is no or 2. is yes then I would drop the song.If you look on twitter you can see mendy posting the song on his official Instagram account, and replying to fans signing it, and him also signing it himself adding on “it is fucking massive” at the end aswell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Whether or not Nando Mendy is offended by it is only really relevant in a private conversation with him. If you're singing something out loud in a public place, wider consideration has to be given. It's 2020, and it's not acceptable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chant won’t be stopped unless it comes from the club or sfa or player. And I think is is fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone has a contrasting opinion from you does not make them “thick as mince”? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
