bbc news - scotlands shame

Don't get you, this song was sung at nearly all their games for the last 5 months or so. So it was already well known.

 

Good glad to hear the media are actually looking at it now.

 

Listen to the huns *-weak comeback

"In the days following the recent Old Firm match, the Club were made aware that a substantial number of complaints had been made regarding the singing of the chorus of a song known as 'The Famine Song' by our supporters at this match. "Rangers Football Club approached Strathclyde Police for guidance on this matter, with a view to issuing a joint statement indicating that persons singing this song in future may face the possibility of arrest.
"Strathclyde Police were not able to commit to this until they had carried out further investigation."
The spokesman said the club had a long-established policy of encouraging sporting behaviour and discouraged the singing of songs which others found offensive.
"Clearly 'The Famine Song' has provoked such a response in certain quarters," he added.
"It is the club's view that the interest of our supporters and the club will be best served by supporters refraining from singing 'The Famine Song'.""


"the club will be best served by supporters refraining from singing...Clearly 'The Famine Song' has provoked such a response in certain quarters"

As though it's just some fun jolly party song that some "para Sellick fans" took a hump with! Twats!

 

About time something was done about it.

 

in years to come the supporters at ibrox will have to raise their hands and ask permission to make a noise....hahahaha * em.

every song they sing is a song of hatred and bile.
they even turned poor tina turners song into a sectarian bigoted shambles.

whilst the scottish press is willing to turn a blind eye to their "jock knew" chants without one journalist having the cajones to speak out against it.... they'll get away with most chants.
and can you get derek johnstone to condemn them for that chant..... not a chance.
they wont even entertain callers who want to speak out about it.

 

It was mate true point however it was n,t know to Mr and Mrs not really bothered about football

 

I think ive missed the boat on the sausages chat, can someone update me

 

Aye but if you don't know anything about fitbaw your would be considered to be a bit of a *

 

They have been singing this for 6 months... why was it only after the old firm it was brought out? :?

 

they r living up to their reputation as ths shame of this country.

their actions at the old firm game make me sick, the simple solution is shut them down or at least shut down their ground to their own fans until they can learn to behave(which will never happen in my opinion)

 

saw a comment on another site from one of THEM and i quote

"would they be complaining if they had won the game, sour grapes because we beat them in there own backyard"

eh wait a minute m8 this has been going on for ages and we have been complaining way before yous beat us you stupid little hun * - get them out of my sight

 

That's what they said to me.

 

I admire how that Celtic fan thought of complaining to the Irish Government, he must have had a relative who died in it or something. But I'm pleased he retaliated in a way unlike the huns who sang it would have if we sung for "british soldiers to go home"

 

you get upset because a song
