Ah, Guest Jorrox has posted one of the standard "Now I'm a Rangers fan but even I was repelled by ..." etc, etc, posts.

Just one point that blows any claim to truthfulness out of the water there -- he claims to have gone to a "Proddy school".

There is NO such thing in Scotland, and every Rangers fan knows it.
There are Faith schools (Catholic, even Muslim and Jewish), but there is NO such thing as a Protestant school.
The standard school in Scotland is non-denominational (ie: people of any faith can and do attend).

So ... a completely dishonest post there, created in a quite disgraceful attempt to colour the argument.
I could say that this is typical of the "impostor" strategy, but I don't need to -- you can see it for yourself !!

You can judge for yourselves about which fans are "more bitter and bigoted" --- look through this thread and assess which fans are the more bigoted: the ones who wave a Union Flag and sing about the Queen, or the ones who wave an Irish flag (but won't go home ...) and who sing about the IRA, and are implicated in child abuse, songs promoting ethnic cleansing, the worst cases of racism in Scottish sport, and regular bouts of outrage and lying (as Jorrox proves above).

Facts prove that Celtic fans are the more bigoted.


As for songs: that's what this thread was all about -- the words of a chant that were deemed offensive to some (although sung by the descendants of many who had also suffered).

FACTS prove that the chant existed for over a year -- the "whole song" is a fabrication.
I did wonder if other traditional (folk) songs may have been created/extended in a similar "manufactuired" method.
A genuine enough question, and one worth exploring perhaps.

And can you really not see that if such a slightly sarcastic chant is banned, then it's the start of a slippery slope ??

Take a look at the lyrics of almost any other song on this Forum -- you could find a slew of people who would take offence at almost all of them.

Make no mistake --- keep losing such songs and chants and lyrics and you can kiss goodbye to real folk music.
