Guest FanthamOfTheOpera Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 FOTO I did notice you went very quiet the other day when Steveger posted some links. I find dealing with his lengthy, unbalanced rambling quite wearying to be honest. It's the same relentlessly contradictory argument over and over and over and over again - like Groundhog Day, if you took all the funny bits out and just kept the morose, depressing section in the middle.

Shrewsburyowl Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 So, to clarify, no song ever sung at a football match has ever offended you? "Dave Jones is a paedophile", stuff about Leeds fans being stabbed, the Munich air disaster, the Ibrox disaster, the Bradford fire - all cool? Anyone who takes offensive is a sensitive mard? When did I say all those songs are "cool"? All distasteful chants IMO but wouldn't let them ruin my day if I heard them sung. Football stadiums seem to do funny things to normally sound people. Ive accepted that if I go to the match im gonna hear and see some morons/distasteful chants at some point so i don't let it bother me. Im as laid back as an ironing board most the time mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePiusX Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yep. The argument isn't 'Ah, they're both as bad as each other' or anything like that. Sadly I haven't had the time to go through every instance of every supporter singing songs of a sectarian nature so I'm not going to say anything about who is worse or anything like that. But none of it is in any way helpful, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 You know what, I'm going to take last night for just how It was. An unbelievable show of support and backing by the Rangers fans for their team. I'm sure when we played Kaiserslautern in the UEFA Cup way back that some of our chants weren't exactly tasteful but it doesn't stop me thinking it was the best atmosphere ever at Hillsborough. Last night was a top night and one that'll be remembered for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 3 years ago today two of South Yorkshire Top Teams created this very special atmosphere in a pre season friendly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was a top night and one that'll be remembered for a long time. Excellent post BIG D. Other teams in England have the same admiration for our away support but they stole the show. I am just delighted with the way they backed their team and that the game passed off without incident and hope it leads to a return fixture next year. If only we can find a way to back our team at home in the same way - until we have unallocated seats on the Kop or god forbid, safe standing areas it will be difficult.

latemodelchild Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I wasn't saying that as Celtic do it its ok, I was trying to find out what is and isn't acceptable. I said singing about murder was unacceptable and was wanting to be even handed in this so I pointed out that all clubs have distasteful songs. It's not Celtic v Rangers. You said certain things aren't acceptable and I just wondered what the limit and level was. You said it wasn't possible to say then said that singing about murdering 'Fenians' was wrong. I inferred that was the line. Death is a no go. Then you went on to point out the Dave Jones stuff. Nobody died but that's still not acceptable. So it seems the line isn't there either. My point is that only the people who are offended can say what is offensive. Everyone has different levels. I wasn't offended by last nights songs because they don't affect me, I couldn't hear the words a d even if I could I don't understand the context. I enjoyed watching and hearing the Rangers fans. They created a great atmosphere. Offensive lyrics to songs don't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Past Member Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Psychology Studies have shown that words have a smaller contribution to communication as opposed to body language. The Leeds fans (Hills, last season) could have sung ‘Twinkle Twinkle little Star’ and came over a a bunch of nasty thugs. What ever words were sung by the Rangers fans, there wasn’t a hint of aggression coming from the West Stand last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbo Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 The defense of some of these songs are disgusting, and the excuse is CELTIC DO IT TOO which is frankly pathetic.

g-owls Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 So you think it's ok to sing songs about murdering British soldiers and having collection buckets for the IRA ? But is it also ok to sing songs that refer to being "Up to my knees in fenian blood"? Maybe its just purely down to one thing, certain people from both sides fail to accept the others right of opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
