    Fair enough. Sorry folks I am confusing this with the Loughgall incident and I was competely wrong. Does sound like a real injustice. I generally avoid all this troubles stuff and its years now since I read about it.

    This is the point completely lost on those who claim that our reputation suffers because of rebel songs being sung.

    In that case - YNWA, LTPS, This land is your land, the fields etc etc will be getting ditched from the songsheet.........

    If other teams are finding this offensive or our support purely because of Irish history chanting then they should do some history on why these songs are sung and why our club was made in connection with why we sing them.

    Just a mental slip. I thought I remember what it was all about but should have checked. Apology is above.

    where did he say that? they aren't football related.

    if the majority of rebels are banned then so should LTPS etc.

    however, they shouldn't.

    Where did I claim YNWA was an IRA song ? :56:

    I don't see any mention of Celtic in YNWA though nor LTPS or the fields or This land is your land. Going along with your warped logic then they'd disappear from the Celtic songsheet too.

    over and over
    I have nothing but total respect for Lenny and admire his determination
    and resilience over the past season but I will not give up a tradition that has been running in my family for years and which I am very proud of over knee * reactions.

    I am not a bigot, a racist or sectarian and neither are the songs I sing.

    These songs are only coming under scrutiny because banning them will be a compromise to the huns and not because of what they are.

    This is not down to arrogance, just the love of my culture and tradition. :shamrock:

    tell him to word it better... how about that then! them other songs are not about a group who bomb people are they.... just pointing out

    our manager is even saying for it to stop, again any song that has IRA chants or songs that have IRA in it should not be at celtic park

    so if thats the case then with one extrem we should not have i just can't get enough then aswell....

    give me a * break
