Pointing at the dictionary and demanding to know HOW ITS SECTARIAN!!!!!! is another favourite.

It’s not surprising. When we had Clown Job on here a while back they tried to tell me that singing about Derek McInnes being an orange B****** had no religious or sectarian meaning to it. Genuinely baffling. Edited September 10, 2023 by AJF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave them in the past. I may be in the minority here but songs with crude slurs about the Royal Family or the pope don't bother me in the slightest, nor do songs about the troubles in the North of Ireland or the centuries of conflict between Ireland and Britain in general, I concede not everyone feels the same however and absolutely understand why people would not be happy hearing that kind of stuff belted out by thousands of people at football grounds or parades round streets, towns and cities. What I do find more offensive and vile though is songs and chants mocking the sexual abuse of children for nothing more than point scoring purposes, not a shred of empathy with victims past or present of horrific abuse but merely to tar anyone associated with a demographic of people they detest as complicit in such abuse and even label them as abusers, while your club does occasionally play lip service to the FTP type stuff and little more than that, it is at least acknowledged, now and again that stuff is a long running issue and problem within the Rangers support, however the child abuse shit they regularly spout the club never even make a mention of, maybe one day someone at the club will have the balls to call out that disgusting shit, doubtful however since the mainstream media in Scotland don't even mention it either.

What a weird take. What has singing/chanting such shite anything to do with football in this country or any other country for that matter? It is clearly a deep rooted issue in Scotland that somehow gets passed from generation to generation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all needs to get to f**k. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, when the Torbett stuff broke, in the late 90's I seem to recall there were a few barbed comments and chants from Rangers fans, something that didn't surprise me but, I'd say the last 20 years it's escalated to a hideous extent and common from fans of other clubs, including several who have had similar revelations about equally vile b*****ds connected to their club in the same era. I just find it sickening anyone who thinks it fair game to sing about stuff like this and blindly labels people beasts based purely on football allegiance or religious background, it's abhorrent and fucking appalling and I refuse to even enter into debate or conversation with fucking cretins who go down that route. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowing innocent people up is a reason to be celebrated though hahahahaha That moral compass must spin like f**k, lad. I'm not even having a go at you, per se. How about you all just cut your shit out, no? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
