gerriatrick Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What sanctions will be brought on the clubs today after the full repertoire of banned songs were sung,the Celtic songs didn't come through to well but newco were certainly belting out such classics as The Sash, Oh no pope of Rome, The Billy boys, the famine song ....... And many more. Will anything be done or will the authorities just throw a deefy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The Rangers fans seemed to be at their obnoxious best/worst today . Suppose they thought they were being defiant against all those that have victimised them. The famine song especially came over loud and clear.

Tazio Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I heard 'Soldiers are we' as clear as day The Irish national anthem.

PTBCAL Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I heard 'Soldiers are we' as clear as day Not sure you can class this as an offensive song or bigoted tbh....it's the Irish National anthem with some re-wording to suit Celtic fans agenda..

How do you chaps know them, just wondering..... If you are trying to insinuate people are bigots then you are well wide of the mark. The Famine song was well publicised in the press when it started and The Soldiers Song is a well known anthem that you would recognise if you have ever watched a national sporting event involving Ireland. Unless you are under the impression Rangers fans are almost universally huge Beach Boys fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you chaps know them, just wondering..... Are you deaf ? Do you go to matches ? The Celtic fans sing it (soldiers are we) frequently when they infest Tynecastle. To my mind the famine song is the most offensive of all. If you sing a song about any other immigrant group telling them to go home you would get done for racial aggravation.

ERJEAN51 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Like Hibs a few years back, I think Ranger won the singing contest, a full repertoire of their old classics clear as day.

Hearts Heritage Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 From Follow Follow I make no apologies for any of our songbook, and nor should any of us.We utterly ruined the myth of the tarriers support being something special and gave it everything we had.While the best they could muster were pishy banners all about Rangers, we stood for 90 minutes and never let up with our singing.Everything else about Rangers right now lacks the passion of our support.If we could have had that level of commitment on the pitch or the boardroom we'd be so much better off.It was a privilege to be amongst that support today. I can only hope we get more regular days like that in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noidletalk81 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I for one am absolutely delighted the huns gave it full pelt today and won the singing contest...exposed them to the watching world for all their worth once more! The only reason they outsung their sisters (and regularly do) is nowt to do with more numbers or passion, it's simply because their sectarian songbook is thicker! I can't think of one song they sang today that wasn't in breech of the law. Be as well just sporting their sashes and bowler hats to games.

jock _turd Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I find it weird that on a Hearts based football forum we have people totally obsessed with what happened in a game involving two teams from Glasgow! Further I find it almost as bad that in the main most are clutching at straws because the violence they hoped for did not, to any great extent, materialise! I almost start to ask the question who are the true bigots?... BUT let me say as a rider here most real Hearts supporters, and yes just football fans will be happy that it was not the wanted,by some at least, blood bath carnage on the streets. My main gripe what a totally shoite game of football... the up side ?

Debut 4 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I notice the original song makers that Celtic claim to be used KC and The Sunshine Band's tune for a song today. I know we nicked it from Spurs but we must've been first to use it in Scotland. It's just a point. I know many clubs fans share ditties to different words but I'm sure we've all encountered the arsehole fans of the old firm who claim to start everything.

How ****ing hard do you think Blackie can kick? Unless Brown was standing at the top of a flight of stairs when Black kicks him, maybe with a burning pit of broken glass at the bottom, wanting to watch Rangers and Celtic players kick each other is absolutely **** all like wanting to watch someone burst in to flames.
