ard mucky, re the Lennon arrest -- the man was charged with serious assault, even although Lennon was treated for minor injuries.

Shame that the same publicity hasn't been extended to the 22-year old Celtic fan who was arrested this week for his part in the four-man assault in broad daylight in Clydebank, as 4 Celtic-topped fans attacked a single Rangers fan.

Let's treat them equally, eh? Otherwise it's bigotry ...


Guest toseeourselvesasotherseeus --- this isn't a court -- I'm njot ontrial here, the "song" is.

I acknowledged that the song was real, although I was wrong about how long it had been about (the four line chant has been sung for a year now, and the four verse song dates back to four months ago).

I don't think ANYBODY could say it wasn't a dirge -- musically it's plain awful. Lyirically, it's a mess. Then again it wouldn't be alone in that respect ...


Looking at the song in general, there's an interesting quote I could give you:
"Oddly enough, it's your parody verse that I'd call folk. I don't have a single definition: it depends on what aspect I'm considering. The Digital Tradition defines folk music as anything anyone likes enough to send in. More generally, I guess I consider folk music as music sung or played socially for an audience that shares the culture that produced the tune or song...."

That's from a completely different thread, although it refers to an Irish song, but applies to some extent to this thread.


And if you want to be offended by lyrics, tell us EXACTLY what offends you. Don't just blurt out a load of stuff in one line.

Is it the accusations of covering up child abuse and rape?
That actually happened.

Denigrating the memory of Scotland's greates ever manager?
The Captain of Celtic football club (Billy McNeil) admitted in a court of law that Jock Stein knew about the child abuse -- that's why he got rid of Torbett agfter all. The club rewarded Stein with moving him on, offering him a job as their Pools agent, and then bringing Torbett back intot he Celtic fold (even now, a former Celtic director is Torbett's financial partner).

Calling people traitors?
Not unique to Rangers fasn re McGeady -- you should ask almost any other Scottish fan what tehy think about him.


If you're going to respond to me, try to think of some sort of line of attack.


btw, there's load more I can post about Celtic fans if you really want ... from them chanting support for the IRA during WW2 to the extent that Parkhead actually was shut down for a time, or maybe we could ask about them attacking Scottish referees (on the pitch and at their homes) ?

There's loads more where that came from.
