Csaba's Broon Shoes Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 What songs do you remember from years gone by that we used to sing in the old corner of the shed , the ones that we could sway along with and create the special Gorgie atmosphere which is now lacking since the introduction of all seated stadiums ? I will start with ''Hit him on the head '' '' Hit him on the head '' '' Hit him on the head with a baseball bat oh yeah '' '' Dixon of Dockgreen '' on the beat all day on the wife all night` This song was sung if a fan/ned/hooly was arrested and marched around the red stoned trackside How times have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be bothered with one of these again !! Who knows, people sing things at football they don't really mean. Most of it ends up as only that - words. Calling someone fat, ugly, abusing their wife, a fenian or a hun. I am not going to decide what is acceptable or not. I don't quite understand how anyone else has the right to do the same thing. More important things in this World to worry about instead of someone being called a fenian, hun or whatever. Anyway that is all by me. Been through this all before !!

Answer: all are acceptable within the strange, almost inexplicable world of footballing pseudo-hatred. But songs based on sectarianism are not, because they imply real hatred based purely on someone's faith. If racism is considered beyond the pale at football matches, then so must sectarianism.

coppercrutch Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Answer: all are acceptable within the strange, almost inexplicable world of footballing pseudo-hatred. But songs based on sectarianism are not, because they imply real hatred based purely on someone's faith. If racism is considered beyond the pale at football matches, then so must sectarianism. A lot of people really hate fat people. A lot of people shout abuse at football by calling players or officials fat. A lot of people really hate gay people. A lot of people shout abuse at football by calling players or officials gay. So by your logic we cannot shout this sort of abuse at football either. My point being there are a lot of 'grey' areas when it comes to football. I don't really get bothered by them, some do - I just don't see the point. Anyway that is me done !!

We are the gorgie boys. Hello, Hello, you'll know us by our noise! A real rousing song, before the PC brigade shot it down. . It was Craigieboy who turned into a debate about political correctness. It's starting to annoy me now that everything is now blamed on the so-called "PC brigade". Does not wanting to sing about "fenian blood" or "billy boys" make you part of the PC brigade or could it just be that you don't believe in any of those words and don't see why it should be sung at a Hearts match?

Yes, there are many grey areas - but a line has to be drawn somewhere. In the world that you and I live in now, bigotry in all its forms is deemed unacceptable in day to day life, and racism and sectarianism unacceptable within football. It's called progress.

Jam Tarts 1874 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Always liked the Dixon of Dock Green bit. In my memory this usually sparked up towards the end of the first half and end of the game as the Police increased their numbers on the running track in anticipation of any "unpleasantness". I always loved twirling the scarf to "Hey (Jam Tarts) Jude", I just wish the atmosphere would get good enough again for this to be a regular for the whole stadium. I miss the full renditions of "his name is Drew Busby, he comes from the North etc etc" I also miss h-i-b-e-r-n-i-a-n the muppet men.......just because it's silly, but so are the hoobs. Jingle bells, Jingle bells jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to **** the hibs on New Year's day is also conspicuous by it's absence. Others that perhaps have had their day include "he's gay, he's bent, his **** is up for rent - Paul McStay, Paul McStay. And just so as the younger folk know about the kind of nastiness that did take place "did you enjoy your chicken supper bobby sands?" was sung heartily for a long time! Imagine that!
