Thread Name: the Rangers 'Famine Song'
Subject: RE: the Rangers 'Famine Song'
Rangers fans singing "go home"? Most Rangers fans are descended from lowland 'Scots', planters, English in origin and no more 'native' than the Celtic fans of Irish origin that they are telling to 'go home' it makes me laugh because I have heard this at close quarters being sung by Northern Irish Rangers 'fans' who are themselves the progeny of planters. The Scoti as the Romans named them are in fact Irish as in Dalriada. The Rangers fans sing these songs to rile up the Celtic fans but using the innocent dead of a famine which took the lives of a million and a half men, women and children is particularly low and vile. Both sets of fans are guilty of engaging in vile songs and chants and it should be stamped out, Scotland along with Northern Ireland still seems to have this minority on both sides who just can't leave this sectarian bigotry behind. What is wrong with these people? Can they not support their team without reverting to this uncivilized and barbaric behaviour? Scotland as a country needs to address this and the morons who sing these sort of vile songs need to get a life!
