Jesus Christ, could have not have PARAGRAPHED your post. Especially when you make long posts, it would help the readers alot.

Anyways, Nobody Irish sings the National Anthem in ENGLISH, tis an insult and I dont recognise the English version as the Irish National Anthem. Foreign Language. (spits on ground)

 

Because the huns are stupid, do we have to act the same and go, "well if they can do it...". Could ya not rise above it??

 

ooooohhh picky
is that not contradictory take your point on the paragraph thing but blood runs like hoopy at an ibrox tea party

 

no ,
not if it is in our our ranks , please forgive the military euphamism,
i iant a bigot and these are facts, althjough maybe my facts as i know and no-one else

 

Dempsey,

The Irish National Anthem does not mention the British or the English. Why? Because it is about us not them.

It is about having the right to defend our nation, about not living under tyranny, about our proud traditions, and in mentioning how we should have the right not to be forced out of our country, it reaches out to people of Irish origin whether they are in Australia, USA or, of course, Scotland!

Having said that, stick to the correct words (even if it has to be in English)

The sentiment is similar to that of the French Nation Anthem, both mention tyranny, soldiers and arms though the French one mentions blood a lot and yet nobody ever complains about it, and I for one love to sing along.

I also like to sing Flower of Scotland. Why can't people sing other anthems if they give them the respect they deserve?

 

Let go for * sake,

whats the difference between singing this or that

(oh yeah THIS offends SOMEONE)

well lets not be thus that offends someone

FOR * SAKE let us sing songs that promote the teamr ather than demean someone else. Call me not a celtic fan if you want. But if you Sectarians ARE a celtic fan then I AM NOT

 

Its all about the context they are sung in, dont play dumb. Being Celtic, and the divides that exist between us and the rest of scotland, these songs mean something else like they do in Northern Ireland.

What I mean by that is you wouldn't wear a hoops jersey or sing rebel songs in some parts of the North if your life depended on it

 

Very well written Keltoi

 

How can so many people misinterpet the point?Who cares if you think the song should not be sung the point is these lads are enititled to sing it if they want..
Obviously Amhran na Bhfiann is a nationalist song Dempsey it's a national anthem ffs,every country's anthem is a nationalist one don't confuse nationalism and republicanism and answer the point about the tricolour above the North stand cos by your logic that would have to come down too...
And Dempsey by the way the original song was written in 1907 IN ENGLISH ,version we sing today is a translation of that work and the english version is recognised by the Irish diaspora and successive Irish Governments so you can spit all you like the fact is you are the one being disrespectful...
Keltoi no offence but the whole point about Celtic is it's inclusivity so just because it divides us according to you does not mean we should leave it out we are not robots or sheep we are all different and unique and if i choose to sing I am the Walrus at Celtic park then i will

 

How is Soldiers Song sectarian? Who does it demean? Being Scots-Irish and Catholic offends some people, maybe if everyone became protestant, there would be no sectarianism?

 

All this political correctness bullshit is staring to do my head in! If a large percentage of the Celtic are of Irish descent then there should be no problem with singing this song which there probably wasn't anyway! Celtic and UEFA can GTF.

 

Just to point out then, that I'm expecting many empty seats at the Man U end when they are all ejected.

I would also like to point out I've never once sang A Soldier's Songto provoke anyone. Anyone who sings that to provoke other people are obviously idiots. I don't know about you, but I sing it as a proud Irishman and Celtic fan. I must be in that 1%.

 

Its a nationalist song and its about soldiers fighting the british...obviously a nice football song.

Graham1888, we all get the point that your making and those lads shouldn't have gotten evicted IF it was for singing it.

The song isnt a football chant, it has several political connections and a militant theme. Now, thats hardly appropriate as a chant

 

Banging your head off a brick wall Dempsey.

 

tss isn't sectarian ffs, * save the queen is more sectarian is there not a line in that about crushing the scots? as for timmy
"I was pure * in lisbon singing BOTOB in the toilet some 'fan' says

"your a disgrace to the club"

i went:

"one more peep out of you and i'll burst your face open"

great * ambassdor for cfc you * muppet
botob is a republican song * has the i.r.a. got to do with celtic football club eh?

im proud of my irish heritage as so should celtic pro-ira songs should be banned but not the soldiers song

 

Very interesting stuff people, I think its difficult for us down here to really understand all the Sectarian stuff that goes on up there. However, wherever we go we here the Munich song 'who's that dying on the runway' etc etc, in turn some of our fans will insist upon singing songs about Hillsborough, and the leeds lads that were murdered in Turkey. Nothing is ever done about these songs, it does not even rate a mention, I'm personally unaware of anyone anywhere at anytime being ejected from a ground in England for singing any of these songs. Its not a minority either, these songs are belted out depending on the opposition. Are songs about peoples deaths worse than Political/Sectarian songs? I'm pretty sure the words 'Munich' and 'Hillsborough' are responsible for as many out breaks of violence AT FOOTBALL GROUNDS as any of your songs are, although I accept the wider implications of Sectarian hatred. I'm waffling now, but my opinion is leave them to it, without some hatred rivalry really does not work, you need that edge and fans will do whatever is necessary to wind up opposition fans, its all part of the match day experience. Whoever said United fans will be singing Rule Brittannia etc was dead right, you think I give two * for the Queen? but I'll be belting it out with the rest of them just to annoy you, kinda sad really when you analyse it, but that's the trouble, football and rationale don't really go together, for that 90 minutes or so its time for normal people to get completely carried away and turn into someone else, its what we work for all week, its what we live for. Seriously, * help football if we all start doing exactly what we should be doing in a perfect world. I did have an idea once and I actually wrote to the club about it, I wanted sprinklers fitting in the roof above the away fans and I wanted warning notice signs putting up that read "If the Munich song is sung, freezing cold water will be despatched onto you all" They never wrote back! Anyway I don't know enough about the history of it all to judge whether or not this particular song is Sectarian, either way its a song, as long as it stays in the ground then leave it be. Oh and 0-2 United

 

Hillsborough, Turkey, Munich, these incidents are directly related to the club and its history.

Ireland fight for indepedence sung in a song has a indirect connection to some celtic fans but has no direct connection to the club.
