We're still being tarred with the same brush

Most of us don't have problems with 'rebel' songs. It's the PIRA related ones that are the problem. Like it or not the PIRA were terrorists.

 

This wouldn't happen.

 

Sing what you wish. But if your chants come back and directly damage the Club then it's you and the others singing them will have to accept responsibility for your actions.

No one here can stop you doing what you wish to do but we can make you aware of the consequences of your actions.

 

Im not a huge fan of the Provos. They attacked the wrong people in my book. The majority of our songs refer to the volunteers and the original IRA. Its a bit hip hypocritical to moan about Celtic and Rangers being tarred with the same brush. Just to go out and tar all forms of IRA with the same brush.

 

I'm all for the original IRA mate! They done what we'd all have done.

 

Come to the ground and tell us thd consequences though. Im sure not every bad pro IRA singer is on this forum.

 

watch out - there is a danger people are going to start agreeing here!

all seem to agree that PIRA stuff not particularly desriable?

 

What PIRA stuff though. That one chant?

 

Would coming up to a group of you to say that up the RA chants are detrimental to the club really make a difference? You're all grown ups and ought to be aware of the consequences. If this does occur and it damages the club then those who have done so will be held responsible.

 

It would certainly be wrong to say that we're as bad as the huns, but we do have to stop the IRA stuff. It reflects very poorly on the club and gives the media an excuse to slander us. I think historical stuff like Boys of the Old Brigade is acceptable, but chanting 'PIRA' is out of order. If we want to trully claim the moral high ground over the huns then we can't give them the oppertunity to say 'well your fans are just as bad because you sing this'.

 

Does moaning about it on a forum make any difference mate.

 

yeh

 

We did it once and under the circumstances I think it can be excused.

 

Why cant we just sing Celtic songs ? There are dozens of Celtic songs out there the green brigade have made up some excellent new ditties to add to the already excellent selection we have .lets celebrate CELTIC

 

What exactly is the PIRA chant ?

 

Fair enough. But lets not forget we started chanting it once this season.

 

EDIT: Took it out incase I caused offence.

 

Then we couldn't be hypocrites

I'd love it to be all Celtic songs and adapted pop songs etc.

 

I always though that chant was -

The I, The I, The IRA

 

iv not been to an away game in 4 years, but lets face it, if i rocked up to one of the fans singing 'PI-PI-PIRA' and asked him to stop id probably get ma head kicked in by numerous supporters, time for it to end though, your no some kind of 'super fan' if ye know these songs and support the IRA as some fans think
