BBC Reporting Scotland re that song!!!!

[prideandhonour777]

i wonder if players on these teams even care? as most of them are not irish or scottish. a good deal are probably not even european.

[prideandhonour777]

boo fuckin whoo! next they will demand you mind your language. good to know its not just the US that that makes a big deal out of stupid shit. my family is irish but i have thick skin and dont give a fuck what people say to me.

but i find it comical that there are scots in ireland being told the same story "go home" maybe they can do a big swap

[cluch9]

@SuperMoondawg

bin laden is the leader of the taliban? how, fucking, stupid, are, you

Mullah Mohammed Omar

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar

Mullah Obaidullah Akhund

are the leaders of the taliban, read a book, holy shit

as for my dad, hes alive and well, and we BOTH live in canada, you fucking tit, and if you want me to go home, im sure one of my aunts or uncles can put up with me in armagh city, prick

[ceallaigh1984]

@cluch9 amazing some of the absolute idiots that you find in this world isnt it.Just want to say that you handled yourself very well and fuck these narrow minded idiots.unfortunately its a hereditery problem in alot of these fools cases.Hope your life in Canada is succesful for you and your dad.peace and good luck

[cluch9]

@ceallaigh1984

aye thanks mate :)

[cluch9]

@SuperMoondawg

my father came to canada 40 years ago from northern ireland because the UVF were targeting him and his family, what famine by chance do i need to go home via?

ok, let me make this very clear

AL-QUAEDA IS NOT THE TALIBAN

al-quaeda is a blanket term for islamic militants throughout pakistan, afghanistan, and iraq

THE TALIBAN WAS THE GOVERNMENT OF AFGHANISTAN UP UNTIL 2001

fuck sake get it in your head you cunt

[cluch9]

@SuperMoondawg

no it isnt you moron and the taliban doesnt bomb pakistan very much because the government lets them do whatever they want

97% of all weapons and explosives used by the IRA were made in britain

theres your reason for the war MONEY

[cluch9]

united kingdom trained and armed the taliban, its was a joint mi5-cia op

[Makehaywhileican]

Perhaps it's the Ulster Scots that should go home. After all most of them are in Ireland because they were escaping the Scottish famine of the 1690's which killed over 10 percent of the Scotish population. Don't worry though, the English landlords living on confiscated lands in Scotland were alright.

[cluch9]

high five,

slap dose fucking huns lol

[teague67]

@Makehaywhileican also, redneck blackmouths ended up in ireland because they didn't like the kings plans for the church of scotland. very loyal. why didn't they just kiss the king's ass like they r supposed to.

[Quinnbhoy7]

haha you have a cheek to call me thick! we dont fly the Irish tricolour for support of a united Ireland. Ok, maybe there is a small minority that do but most of us fly it because its part of our history. We are a Scottish club but proud of our Irish roots. Now can you get that through your thick skull? WHY DONT YOUS GO HOME? nobody likes you here anyway. Away and move doon to London if yous love the queen so much.

[skullywag999]

who the same brittish army that murdered and raped my country for so long.now there over rapeing iraq for there oil. fuck off there not heros there war criminals you dickhead.why are you not over with them seeing how your so proud of them, i see the news the day again more bodybags arriving home,,,,the british public have to ask them selfs why,after all the brits helped train the taliban & put saddam into power,,idiot

[skullywag999]

the red hand flag is not an official flag you cock its just a made up old rag. the loyalist made up it has no official status anywhere in the u.k ,where is it flown? no where.you should be ashamed to call yourself scottish the likes of wallace would be turning in there graves because of people like you they fought for your freedom,,,

[skullywag999]

the queen lives in londan why dont use go home

[Quinnbhoy7]

aye nae bother ya wee fanny!

[Quinnbhoy7]

I agree with you to an extent and we are partially to blame. However I could also say to you that this is not NI, so why do you hold up red hand of Ulster flags? Also, this is not England so why wave st georges cross flags? We wave Irish flags because it is part of our history. Proud to be a Scot more than my Irish ancestry. Im sure this is the same feeling around most Celtic fans at Parkhead.

[Ghound44]

Fair points. I personally don't fly the red hand or the Union Jack, but i know there is a lot that do. I consider myself a moderate Rangers supporter. Perhaps we may bridge the gap one day and end it all. we can hope anyway. Good comments Quinnbhoy7

[Quinnbhoy7]

The most sensible response I have had from anyone on this. I agree with you. We can hope but there are too many bitter people on both sides and I think it will continue.

[Newsworthy7]

The law courts in Scotland have branded this song as racist and one person has been convicted and sentenced for singing it. He appealed the decision and this was thrown out by the High Court of Scotland Appeal Law Lords who reiterated the song is racist and the sentence stood. So in answer to your question the answer is YES IT IS RACIST AND IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO SING IT.

[Newsworthy7]

Rangers fans or as they are more commonly know Scotlands Shame sing about the famine being over and all irish should go back home. The lyrics are so foul I could not possibly put them on here....in a nutshell they sing filth about catholics their hatred of them and how all catholics of irish decent should go home. (See next comment for remainder of my anser)

[bhoyracer67]

is the song illegal yet? and if so do rangers fc condemn it yet, or are they still just advising fans not to sing it

[IrishGirl2727]

I am not wanted in Scotland? I don't even live in Scotland, I have never been to Scotland in my life. If you had bothered to look at my profile you would see that. Do you see me making racist comments against the Scottish? No, so why bother replying to my post? You obviously have too much time on your hands and should take a look at the history books to see that the Scottish and Irish have been linked through time - ever heard of the Ulster Scots? I pray for you Jamesy15, because you need it.

[IrishGirl2727]

Jamesy15 - may I also suggest an English lesson due to the fact that you are using "your" in the wrong context. You should have written "you are" or "you're".

Still praying for you my friend.

[baillie67]

you will never change these peoples minds.we are a little backward country still living in the18th century.sectarianism and bigotry still exists and the grandparents and parents have a lot to answer for.all the best irishgirl.

[IrishGirl2727]

Thanks, all the best for you too!

[TheMozy2009]

Irishgirls..dont think for a second that Scotland is broken down into two groups such as RFC supporters then IRA supporters like quinn. The guys a retard. Most decent people in scotland detest terrorism, pricks like quinn wish the troubles never ended.

[Quinnbhoy7]

IrishGirl2727 - Please ignore this ignorant prick. All Rankgers fans are bigots and please dont think all us Scottish people are like this. There is a special bond between Scotland and Ireland. Its just a minority of people in this country that are like this, they're just animals.. evil evil bitter people. TAL GLASGOW CELTIC FC #1

[IrishGirl2727]

Thank you, you are doing your country proud :)

[IrishGirl2727]

I am home you idiot.

[TributePA]

Change the clubs name from Celtic to Tottenham Hotspur. Then change the word in the song from "famine" to "Holocaust". It would be on every front-page. There can be no justification in this song and for anyone to try and do so shows them up as the bigot they really are.

[Newsworthy7]

Oh oh gprfc1 has been deleted somehow I think he will not be missed.

[Newsworthy7]

Bye bye bitter person. Go kick a cat or something it's more in line with your ethos

[Newsworthy7]

No worries fuddie even really bad people like you deserve to be prayed for. How will you cope with your daily battle to be an evil little person knowing that we are all praying for you......be afraid fuddie be very afraid ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Newsworthy7]

one day karma will come back and you will be sorry that you replied with your vile and uneducated drivel. Your a poor excuse for a human..........oops sorry you are an animal I forgot ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Newsworthy7]

Och your a poor wee soul. Sweet dreams x

[Newsworthy7]

gprfc1 you are just a typical illiterate, uneducated asshole. No one cares what you think and no one like you or you ilk. Ha ha ha ha let's all laugh at diddies like you...........................­........

[IrishGirl2727]

How can you wish the death of others? My family was persecuted by English Protestants, both during before and after the famine, just because of religion. Many of them left Ireland to get away from the hell they were going through (and before you ask they did not move to Scotland). I am Catholic and find this song incredibly offensive, the idiots that sing it should learn about the facts before they start making uneducated comments.

[aggyuvf]

@IrishGirl2727  Fuck off ya stupid bitch

[Newsworthy7]

My post was about the famine song which is racist read the words. You r rambling on about something completely different. Also you have no idea what nationality I am. Try and stick to the point in question.

[Newsworthy7]

Sorry but your grammar is so bad it is very difficult to understand what you are trying to say. Suffice it to say you appear not to be educated, not to worry it's the cross you have to bare. Prayers will be said for you

[Newsworthy7]

Your day will come and your end will be unpleasant with an attitude like that.  But then it is your destiny and that of all the other members of Scotlands Shame. Prayers will be said for you alas it may be a little too late eh my friend.

[Newsworthy7]

Och your a poor wee deluded racist, and my friend you should know that you could be procescuted and jailed for your comments, another uneducated little no mark will bit the dust. Watch carefully the decision at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court tomorrow, you to may suffer the same fate, with a bit of luck. Have a happy and holy Christmas now....

[3iar2008]

Yesterday Thug William Walls 20 of Glasgow Was the first one to be convicted for the Famine Song!!!.

This idiot got caught at the Rangers Vs Kilmarnock game, by stewards

employed by RANGERS FC!!! .

this thug kept jumping out of his seat every few mins trying to re-start,

singing of this sick song .

Walls has previous conviction - - -

Breach Of The Peace with a football aggravation and a Racial aggravation rap .

So one down 49,999 to go

Hail Hail

[Newsworthy7]

The difference is one is blatantly racism and the words are possibly the most vile I have heard. The other is quite simply a love song.

So in response yes you are correct neither have anything to do with football however one is an innocent love song the other is a song that has been written specifically to cause offence to a nation simply because the writers and singers of this song are bigots who are anti Celtic assuming all their supporters are catholics....which is not true.

[Newsworthy7]

Oh your comment made me laugh out loud....you are so delusional and barely illiterate....come on now stop fantasising you have never been educated....live with it silly person as your name suggests

[Newsworthy7]

Oh dear another uneducated person from the underbelly of civilised society. Prayers will be said for you

[Newsworthy7]

I understand your difficulty as it's obvious you have never listened to the words of the Fields of Athenry. This song is a love song and if you actually listen carefully it does quote a historic FACT which I assume is what you are trying to turn into something else. Well that doesn't work simply because that is a fact. Crawl back into your bigoted rat infested mind and keep your silly uneducated remarks closed in that dark place. Idiot

[Newsworthy7]

Actually you are wrong but there is no point in me giving you a history lesson as you would not understand. You have been indoctrinated in a sectarian mindset and therefore your mind is closed. Also it is clear your educational ability is seriously challenged which is apparent in your inability to spell. Prayer is alien to you that's why you feel creepy but no matter. I sincerely hope that one day you "might" be saved but I have my doubts.

[Newsworthy7]

Badbingo is a perfect name for you. The anger and hatred is paramount in the tone of your reply.  The only sick person here is you my friend and I shall pray for you because even the devils spawn deserve the chance to be saved.

[josparkes]

For an educated person I am really surprised that you cannot see the racist tones in this song, or is it that you are so in love with yourself, that you think that just because you say it's not racist, then it isn't !

Show the respect that this period in time deserves, and stop hurling insults, at the memory of the Holocaust thst was the Irish Famine

So this is not racist then, what would you call what you just said here. If that is all you can say, just keep quiet. I have never heard such ignorant drivel.

Hmmm think you've been outed. Oh bad move me thinks.

[madser67]

If they go home who would you sectarian bigots have to intimidate?

Rangers heritage is built on hatred and sectarianism.

[nohuns1888]

beautiful comment,McCannae,you are such an enlightened ,open and warm person

[Newsworthy7]

Actually dullard you will probably find that some of your distant relatives or some other rangers fans distant relatives died in the famine. It was not exlusively for catholics but then you obviously do not know much about history or you would not have posted such a stupid response. Stop being angry and bigoted would you say the same about the holocaust...strike that out you probably would. Your anger and ignorance rules your your life and that is such a shame!!!!

[Newsworthy7]

You leave me no alternative but to treat you like a child because of your illogical undestanding of racism....make absolutely no mistake this song is racist. Educated people know what racism is, sadly you don't.how to be a bigot, sadly you will never acknowledge this because you still live in the 17th century.

[Newsworthy7]

Well hello hello wee angry mopeboy

Hello hello your not much better today

Are you up to your knees in washing suds

Oh what a shame for the wee billy boy.

Seriously couple of things. A continuous prayer vigil is being arranged for you....dahling you are a bigot; you are angry and you are uneducated. Oh by the way I'm not a "he". Listen you have a lovely evening no doubt you are hosting a little intimate dinner party for your friends....enjoy your big mac....

[MOPEbaiter]

Here we go again. Another example of the extreme denial which exists among the celtic support. It is ONLY you lot who read so deeply into a piss take. Sort yourselves out then get on your high horse. I recently had the misfortune of a train journey following a celtic home game and witnessed first hand men, women and children spouting hatred without the slightest hint of humour.

[moldav9]

Celtic fans have been complaining about this song since it was first aired. Sadly though, Scottish and British media have been pretending it isn't happening. It is only now that the Irish government has got involved that people have to face up to it.

[Newsworthy7]

I love your psuedo name it describes you to a "t". Can I ask you a question? Why are you so filled with hate and anger? Sadly you and your fellow anger filled friends need as much support as you can get therefore I will pray for you tonight in the hope that you can get some inner peace. Love and peace mopey

[wolfemactone]

i think there might be wider parameters to this than our "humourous" friends from govan acknowledge...they are not having a jolly jape,they are espousing ethnic cleansing in their usual disgusting manner.this is not on in a civilsed society.if the thickest of the thick don`t get it,then shutting their stadium will.lets not shy away from this issue,and dont lets give a flying fuck about what they say about us being sensitive souls etc ,people get their heads kicked in through these ignorant cunts

[howdofolks]

i think Graham Speirs sums it up perfectly with his statement " A club with a poison at its core " , the massive majority of these " pepil " have no idea how to behave in civilised society , shame on them , and shame on rangers for trying to justify this vile song

[Che870]

Rangers = Scotlands Shame !

[moldav9]

Very little difference between the kkk and the OO. They both spew the same crap. If you stand there with Loyal flags a plenty supporting an organisation like this then expect abuse. IT IS EXCLUSIVE AND BIGOTED, FACT!!!

[seanmcparland]

As a proud Irishman and a welcome guest in Scotland for 15 years now, I am disgusted with the Irish Famine song. To openly celebrate the starvation of 1 million Irish men, women and children makes me sick. Worst still the songs support, saying its "mocks a myth rival fans perpetuate" by high profile Rangers organisations is to say the least disgusting.

How can civilized people spit out this sort of venom, when even young children starved to death.

[CHAMPIONES09]

@seanmcparland

f you don't like it then fuck off back to Ireland, we are in Britain and if celtic fans are allowed to sing anti-British songs in Britain then we should be able to sign what ever the fuck what we want about Ireland. Sort out your own mob before moaning about ours, dick.

[ih8hunstoo]

@CHAMPIONES09 Most of our mob have been sorted out and it was done under an initiative set by the CELTIC BOARD and FAN BASE, unlike RANGERS who were told by FIFA /UEFA to cut it out or face expulsion from tournaments and under this threat MURRAY was forced to issue a statement telling you lot to behave, even to this day he wont castigate fans for their singing of their old songs

[wolfemactone]

the sniggering cretins who sing this song think they are funny,witty, beacons of humour..the time has come for the scottish government to show them some proper disrespect,and shut their ground down if they can`t open their vile traps without spewing racist sectarian bile...might be the only answer,frankly,the majority of decent fans in scotland are ashamed of these morons,unfortunately they see that as a good reason to carry on regardless..ban them from parkhead at least..they are a bacteria

[moldav9]

Probably means pee off back to Ibrox. Doesn't make any reference to a famine which killed 1 million people or to the desendants of the people who had to flee starvation being told to go back where they came from. Is that simple enough for you?

[moldav9]

Orange Bassa comes from the Orange Order which is loved by many huns. It's got nothing to do with Protestantism but with the Exclusive and bigoted organisation that the OO is. Would there be a problem calling someone a Klu Klux Bassa?

[Kowaldo]

Scotlands shame----->RFC

[steviebhoy85]

well done the bbc for actually raising the issue hopefully the rest of the media follow suit and get this taken to scottish parliment,as they continualy go on about how great we are as a nation, 1 scoland many cultures (unless your catholic or japanese)

[XxDMKxX]

typical hun.
