Boys of the old brigade. Athenrye and Frank McAvennie

[HateFenians]

This is the song you cunts were singing at the match a few days ago, if Lennon is serious about sectarianism then he should pack his bags and go back to English football. This shit should be kept out of football, but when you cunts chant IRA. Are you showing your support for the PIRA or the splinter groups RIRA and CIRA? Wouldn't surpise me that some of your support is from the smelly falls, short strand and ardoyne!

My great uncle killed plenty of you fenian bastards when he was UVF CDR!

[OMGitsDMurphy]

@HateFenians i shat i ur uncles mother cunt

[MrPhilWHU]

There's only ONE McAvennieeeeeeee!! W.H.U.

[PaddyGOW]

they were up in arms about this? wow.

The problem i have is this song is being called sectarian and bigoted. "The song consists of a father, a veteran of the Easter Rising of Irish Republicans, telling his son about his old comrades" . The eastern rising resulted in the formation of ROI, Protestants and Catholics were in the old brigade.

If the song did not contain the phrase IRA no one would be up in arms, look at the Soldier song it is about the same people

[bkj123]

Just think, in Scotland soon he'll get 5 years for his mime act, :-0

[cfcnlr]

[bigmcnameelad]

So let's hear why u were threw out of the free state Thomas, ya fuckin orange cunt.. Up the ra!

[bigmcnameelad]

I see the sun have been on about Frank singing bigoted songs, and I seen his response was he doesn't even know the words to this song. So I had to come on an check it out,, u can clearly see that he actually doesn't know the words.. But even if he did, why in a so called Celtic pub would u video him or any ex player o whatever singing it and put it on the net, what a fuckin spastic whoever put this on...

Oo and I'm entriged to hear why this Protestant Thomas was threw out of the Irish free sta

[886709]

Anyone who calls this bigoted are the bigots themselves.

[TheHoopsnumber1]

The Sun newspaper reported this as a 'bigoted' song...since when was The Boys of The Old Brigade BIGOTED?? Not everybody's cup of tea, but never bigoted...POLITICAL? Definitley!!

[MegaTrainspotter]

McAvennie isn't the brightest light bulb in the box but he has obviously been set -up here.The curse of the mobile phone camera strikes again.

[ProtestantThomas]

I was removed from the Irish free state because of my religion, I was oppressed and objected against.

[bkj123]

Unfortunately, or not, this is a sectarian song which describes the murder and subsequent involuntary exodus of Protestants during the foundation of the Free State.

It has been deemed sectarian by Nil By Mouth and indeed staunch Celtic supporting groups in Scotland and people who sing it will be subject to a possible 5 year stretch.

Many Celts campaigned for years about 'sectarianism' now your prayers have been answered, just not in the way you imagined.

[gael1916]

@bkj123 just not deemed sectarian by the Scottish courts. regards to your first sentence LOL get real.

[Stubhoy1977]

@ulsterfry100 Why would McAvennie be charged for not singing a non-sectarian song in Dublin??

[rk1888]

Nothing sectarian about it, the Queen laid a wreath to the IRA recently, only bigots seem to have an issue with it – so it’s no surprise the “Bears” and their media are trawling all over it.

[gazwel83]

@rk1888 This is not about people who fought for freedom though, it is about the PIRA who killed innocent children with car bombs and who recently have left bombs outside primary schools injuring kids. Do you support that?

[rk1888]

@gazwel83 This has nothing to do with the Provisional IRA.

I suggest you attempt re-education before humiliating yourself.

Just remember, your Queen approves of this song and these great men.

[govaned]

@rk1888 what ....planet you just came down from Pat ? """"these great men""" would that be them that bombed & slaughtered British servicemen citizens and children in the name of iraish`s unity ...How long will we need to wait till "your day will come " then ? your kin have been waiting over 300 years and you`s have NEVER came close yet """re-eduacte """ you scum need to stop making up myths and lies to make yourself feel beter ....
