    What's a terrorist? Anyone who stand up to the British or Americans?

    The British Army are a terrorist murder group in my opinion.

    If a German club sang songs about The Third Reich would that be acceptable also as it was 'part of their history'?

    Its not the people on the street or at the games we have to worry about.

    Is it wrong for english fans of english clubs to wear a poppy? We celebrate our heroes through song, why this has become such a big issue is beyond me

    Mortar Bombings and IED's on single Military targets is Terrorism but Blanket bombing Innocent Iraqis from Super Sonic Jets is not.

    I think you definition seems to be correct..... in this country at least.

    What Civilian Target's?

    Civilian Casualties are inevitability in war but Im willing to bet more Iraqi civilians died in the 1st 30 mins of the war on "terror" than in the whole troubles period.

    Dont be a hypocrite

    In the PIRA's case

    Do you think killing innocent members of the public is acceptable?

    obviously not since anything * is a criminal offence in germany.

    the point is no matter how "offensive" ira chants are to some, they are not sectarian and more importantly not illegal. sorry but thats the harsh truth.

    now i personally dont support chanting about the IRA at celtic games, especially as the club itself has repeatedly asked for them to stop; but it is not illegal no matter which way you look at it. the snp and police know this hence the reason they are widening the scope to "offensive" behaviour.
