Pro-Rebel song singing/Anti-Rebel song singing

Of course it is. How dare we sing songs of our ancestors fighting English slavery and oppression. Who cares that the club was founded to help Irish immigrants, * them if a few rebel songs upset a minority of fans eh?

 

I like YNWA very much.

 

Love the rebels

 

I honestly can't believe 87 have voted unacceptable, I'm disgusted in fact

 

Ah well, thats the good thing about the forums, varied opinions.

All your comment is doing is Trolling those who had a difference of opinion to you

 

I'm not trolling, i'm just rather disgusted that people think singing songs that have been sung at CP for decades is unacceptable, what makes them unacceptable?

Most Celtic fans take great pride in these songs, why can't people accept that? I know why, because they've been brainwashed by the brit media.

I'm not one ridicule someone's opinion, but I hate to see fellow fans say the songs that my grandfather, father and I sung with pride along with thousands of others are unacceptable, it makes me quite sad seeing that actually.

 

It doesn't have anything to do with football though. So surely your being hypocritical.

 

Hes not trolling celticbhoy88, hes merely telling the truth....Celtic's founding members would be DISGUSTED to see these songs our now being called unacceptable at Celtic Park......IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY

 

Why don't we start singing songs that have a bigger picture, i.e the entire human population being oppressed.

Get Rage Against the Machine, Megadeth, System of a Down blasting over the sound system.

As for the rebel songs. I chose unacceptable and what I find unacceptable is the IRA add ons, the PIRA chants, Go on Home British soldiers etc. The rests i.e FOA, Let the People sing etc. acceptable rebel songs.

 

Maybe people should stop (as Iain Anderson sung) living in the past.

 

Why? well in that case we shouldnt sing in the heat of lisbon, willie maley, any henrik larsson, jimmy johnstone, tommy burns etc chants.

 

I think songs about the OLD IRA, such as the Boys of the Old Brigade, are perfectly acceptable, they are songs of irish independance. I used to say the same about all songs about the IRA, but recently I questioned myself about chants abou the provisional IRA and I can't say the same about those songs. They are said to be political and not sectarian. But I can't get my head around why people deem them to have no religious significance at all. Songs about the provisional IRA are not just political, in my opinion. They were formed because of sectarianism, in order to protect Catholics against Prodestants. To many catholics the provisionals were defenders of their community, and bombed Protestant businesses in revenge for attacks on Catholics. It's not as simple as politics.

 

There is a difference between living in the past and remembering the past. It's a debate if often have with unionists that claim Scottish nationalist live in the past.

 

Look, I've already stated that I have no problem with anything we sing, but the argument you have just used is the exact same one the huns must have used when their songs were banned.
What we are saying is, our songs are fine, but the songs the huns thought were fine are not, so we all of a sudden turn PC with them but cry like * if anyone questions ours.
Did you honestly think the huns would let that fly, if you did you were obviously dreaming, and we would not by having this discussion now.
Give me a good old Hampden riot any day rather than any of this PC pish.
Mark my words we will not be allowed to have it both ways.

 

Depends what's being sung.

 

All these songs about the old IRA or the Provisionals that are supposed to be
"sectarian" or "offensive" to some,can anyone explain then why you can find them on sale in the biggest record stores in the country ie HMV,Virgin.Almost all the songs sung eg BOTOB,Roll of Honour,Broad Black Brimmer and many others can be found on CDs by the Wolfe Tones etc.Just goto the Irish folk section and I guarantee you will find them all.
If they are so * offensive to some then why dont the authorities ban them,and before you all come on saying they are for personal listening,yes,but thats obviously where people learn the words to sing these
"sectarian" songs
I have supported Celtic for 46 years and by supporting,I mean going to
games all over uk and europe.On average about 30-40 games a season,apart from a period I lived in London 79-83 and even then I was up for most of the bigger games.
These songs of Irish freedom were sung at CP and away games as far as I can remember.Songs such as Kevin Barry,Sean South etc were the norm.
The Green Brigade and the away support are continuing to sing these songs and I back them 100%
As I have posted here before,those who do not wish to sing them,fair enough but do not chastise the ones that do.
IRISH SONGS OF FREEDOM ARE NOT SECTARIAN !

But the huns have no argument their songs are sectarian, ours aren't..,

The reason y'all think their unacceptable is because the media have portrayed them as unacceptable, i'm not saying yous don't have minds of your own but the media definitely affects yous.

 

Our history and past is why i follow celtic like many i know.... its massivly important to i think most fans.
Dont forget our history is what makes us unique compared to other clubs and i for one dont want to see that change.

 

Honest question, as I've been out the country for a long time, how did their songs first get banned ? I take it some people complained and a new law was made, or an old one was finally upheld ?
So what makes anybody think that the same thing won't happen to ours ?
The amount of crazy new laws introduced over here in the States since 9/11 would make your head spin, and the huns reckon our songs support a terrorist orginization, right or wrong, that is what they're laying their hat on.
They will not let up * for tattin until they get back at us, because if we are all honest with ourselves, we would do the exact same.
As I said earlier, its already started or this discussion would not be taking place, and I'm just thankful to be old enough to have went to the games when the atmosphere was the best part of it.
If any of you younger ones think there is an atmosphere now, you are sadly mistaken and that fat * salmond is itching to take away what is left.
* knows what the answer is.

 

Well in all honesty i couldn't care less what the deluded bigots from Govan think about our songs and nor should you
