Celtic fans DO sing about "and soon there'll be no Protestants at all", to the tune of "Roamin' in the Gloamin'", or more often than not to the Tune of "The One Road".

It is an old trick for fans to claim that it is only "away" fans who sing abusive lyrics, but that doesn't wash in reality.
After all, the same "defence" could be applied to away Rangers fans ...
Couldn't it ?


As for claiming that "ooh ah up the ra" is "ooh ah Samaras" ... what a load of codswallop.
Recently, the chairwoman of the Celtic Trust told Five Live's Nicky Campbell that it was acceptable for Celtic fans to sing pro-IRA songs.
There's no point trying to fudge it -- perhaps YOU actually sing "ooh ah Samaras" (in which case I applaud you), but "ooh ah up the Ra" is well-documented.


btw, just to show you how two sets of fans in the one stadium are treated differently, Celtic fans used to chant to Rangers' Chris Burke ( a Catholic player) "Who's the Fenian in the blue?"
But if a Rangers fan was to repeat that same chant, he would be arrested.

Rangers fans aren't allowed to even say the word "Fenian", and are not allowed to sing anything to the tune of "Marching through Georgia".

Even-handed ? Doesn't look like it, eh ?
