    The GB although at times good, think they are above everyone else at CP in my opinion. They seem to think because they are 'ultras' that they gain some sort of respect when in acutal fact comapred to other clubs fans they are small fish. Plus this season apart from Livingston I have not been impressed with them.

    And I'm saying neither has Land of Hope & glory or Flower of Scotland or Swing low sweet chariot.
    They are still sang though.

    Both Land Of Hope & Glory and Flower of Scotland are unnofficial National anthems of England and Scotland, so theres no real comparison between that and BOTOB.
    I would compare Swing Low to YNWA, its something that is sung that has no real connection to the game and no-one could find offensive.

    the song is about a veteran of the irish war of independence talking to his son about the struggle.a freedom fight that ended with the irish government signing a treaty with the british empire.in what sense do you regard them as terrorists?

    But they have nothing to do with football and as for LOHAG taht's a song about the bloodshed England spilled whilst going around stealing countries from people using extreme violence and causing great suffering. But who cares cos it's not English people who suffered?

    erm.......actually its not, check the lyrics out.

    And you're right they have nothing to do with football other than being regarded as the National Anthems of England & Scotland, I have to say I dont think I've heard them being sung outside of when either of the National teams play, so I dont really get your point to be honest.
