Rangers and the "Straight arm salute"

never in all my time studying the history of ireland or following current events have i heard of a "red hand salute".
its a prepostorous excuse.if it really existed surely you'd have orange order low lifes marching through towns with their arm extended and i have never seen it.
it comes from glasgow rangers fans having too close a relationship with far-right parties in britain methinks and the red hand salute was just a pathetic attempt to explain it away.
i certainly don't ever recall this salute making an appearance in ireland

 

inbred,neanderthal,presbyterian,unwashed,stupid,scumbag,*,orange,dirty hun *'s

 

just say for two minutes this salute does exist doesnt stop you asking the question why the * are they doing it? apparently its the biggest crime around in west scotland to celebrate the culture ofanother country, celtic fans not allowed to even mention the word ireland these days telling people to go home * ulster believe it or not is on that same island half brained * wits

 

A * salute while standing with an Israeli flag!!!! * me, that is the epitome of stupidity of the highest order!!! * *...

 

Can confirm this, asked my gran and she informed me of the links between my name and the red hand, she nor my granda have never heard of the so called red hand salute either

 

the story they tell about the origins of the red hand is complete horseshit aswell.
they have it that in a race to ulster,to be the first to touch ulster soil and therefore claim the kingship,a hand was severed and flung across the water to win the race.


loosing a body part would have automatically barred you from sitting on the throne so cutting off your hand in an effort to win the kingship doesn't make a lot of sense

 

The salute is nothing to do with the Nazis at all. The salute is intended to represent the Red Hand of Ulster. Scum.

 

That, in my opinion, is as stupid as someone trying to claim that they are using the swastika as a Hindu symbol of peace. (Which it used to be)

 

Oh yes, that would include Donegal too

Its simple, we do something, they attempt to do the opposite just to get a rise out of us but they dont have a braincell between them and therefore dont have a * clue about what they are actually doing.

Can Rangers supporters claim disability?

 

If they can get away with it without getting caught, you better believe it.

 

Being a man of Donegal descent, I raise the green finger to the Huns version of the red hand.

 

Being of teuchter descent myself, I'll lift my kilt and SkyeFart in their general direction....

 

Well if they were using the salute as some sort of pro * gesture then they would definitely go down as thick as pigshit because I've seen Israel flags on display at several Rangers games. Bit of a contradiction there!

 

Theres even one in the picture of them doing it in israel

Thick *

 

I think this wee song says it all about that lot.
