The OP Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Another thing I wonder about is do Scottish people get extremely Helen Lovejoy when Conor McGregor walks out to an Irish rebel song commemorating the early IRA before every fight?

Red_Dwarf_Posse Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Never because authorities only want to punish the small teams and avoid the big elephant in the room with Celtic and New Rangers. Continue to let them away with and it will never go away no matter how many punishments are handed out to the provincial clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Dundee fans, i'm sure they were on their best behaviour as always and not singing from a book borrowed from another disgusting excuse for a club. Go on...

Killie87 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 This question has been asked time and time again and the clear answer appears to be never, only way you would ever get clubs cracking down on it is repeated fines or stadium bans that would hit the pockets of the offending clubs which would force them to take action, the SFA would never consider this due to the backlash they would get from fans and probably the media. The big elephant in the room is society and the ingrained views folk have been taught (brainwashed) from being a child, no idea how you can go about changing that tbh.

No. I see you've also said earlier that Dundee fans were singing the Billy Boys so I think your comments can safely be filed in the talking shite section.

I’m pretty sure the song is an American Civil War song and was reworded by the sectarian “Billy Boys” gang also known as the Brigton Derry. This gang took it to the terraces at Ibrox where it became a football club’s anthem. It just happened to be the only song sung with any vigour by the Derry end.

No, you most definitely aren't. You are, however, perfectly willing to overlook the permanent ubiquity of one of the biggest institutions in the country - Celtic - as compared with a fleeting character in a peripheral sport; in order to make a flawed argument that in order to claim to be offended by something, one must by extension be offended by everything. It's as transparent as it is juvenile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee fans weren't singing those words to the same tune that's used at Ibrox in the same way that Celtic fans weren't singing the words to 'Beautiful Sunday' to that tune. Man Utd and Everton sing Hello Hello as well. Will Celtic fans be calling them orange b*****ds next time they meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
