Yano what, I totally agree with you. My great grandad was catholic and had to hide the fact he was as he knew he would have got his head caved in back in the day. Unfortunately a lot of that abuse still happens and it's vile. Both as bad as each other on that front, but I do believe singing about the IRA and fans laughing and joking about British soldiers dying is just the lowest of the low. I'd never go to Hillsborough again for a Barnsley match. The last game against weds (for rangers) was brilliant. Both fans enjoying it and having a sing song. Completely different atmosphere and feeling to when Barnsley play them.
******* hell Conan. Are you EVER positive? It can't be fun to be so obnoxiously cynical and negative constantly
It's vile when any supporters sing about certain events tbh. Remember the red suspenders song in the seventies about the ripper , absolutely disgusting and all the while the victims families were grieving and listening to these scum glorifying a monster .
Regarding Celtic, from a Brentford fan: "I'm just back & struggling to contain the anger at what went on today. Our visitors sang songs celebrating the murder of drummer Lee Rigby, fights were provoked from early AM, balaclavas were worn, Provo flags and IRA chants continued throughout the game, multiple pitch invasions and finally Bees fans forced to take protection into their own hands thanks to the useless stewards and police. Celtic fans tried to smash the Brook rd goal and set off the sprinklers. I have seen harder firms than this lot over the years but never such a mass of prehistoric knuckle dragging sub humans with so little respect for others. Bees fans should take credit for their restraint and for not aping this tribe of morons intent on causing grief. That said the highlight of the day was seeing a bees fan chase one of these clowns back to the way end when he invaded the pitch making sectarian gestures after their 1st goal - 100 metres in under 10 seconds! BFC need to hold their hands up and apologise to fans for this own goal of a game. Oh and a match took place, Celtic reserves vs a fairly weak Bees side (particularly 2nd half) we played pretty well considering - Harlee has a bad knock. Crowd was 8500 - my guess about 6000 Celtic. Celtic FC your fans were a disgrace today, BFC must seek compensation!"
I've heard one or two try to get it going on the supporters buses and in the ponty but by and large their ignored and rightly so . Nowt big about singing that.
But what about rangers and linfield fans singing about bloody sunday and the rest is that okay.... if the sort of disorder happened at celtic park like it did at linfield the sun would have been all over it
Old firm fans on the whole are an embarrassment. Glory hunting (ironically), turn up for the sake of making up the numbers neanderthals.
