Atmosphere today = Fantastic, THE SONG DEBATE..

Thought you said it was good?

 

It was good if you take the atmosphere you usually get into account.

 

Remind me again just how many innocent men, woman and children Wallace killed?

Stupid boy.

 

how about the british national anthem and the ira?

 

Same boat as the IRA.

 

worst ive heard for a euro night

 

You've lost me jimmi, how many?

And also how does it compare with the innocent iraqi's etc. the British and yanks killed in their latest tyrany?
Or do they not count as they are not white?

 

you have lost me ,is that anything to do with football

 

1. Songs about the IRA are about fighting Britain. We are now part of Britain and the majority (unfortunately) always vote to stay British. So, these are songs about fighting against our own country and therefore are going to offend widely in Britain. The songs belong in Ireland or in closed venues of like minded people. Not my view but the view of the majority of Scots. William Wallace was fighting for Scotland which was then an independant kingdom so songs about dont offend any Scots.

2. 700 years makes a big difference. Its no longer personal. Noone has relatives killed they can remember etc. Thats not true of the troubles and even to a lesser degree the earlier old IRA.

3. Songs about Irish heros in wars against Britain belong in Ireland not Britain. I wouldnt go banging on about Scots heros fighting the English if I was living in England. Common sense. The place matters.

This false analogy has been booting about the celtic sites for ages. Its daft.

 

No, the thread went off topic ages ago.

 

We don't get terribly excited playing at home to likes of Falkirk and Motherwell funnily enough.

 

Which songs does everybody regard as sectarian ?
