I have memories of the words of the song being shared online just as it was taking off.. and months before people were suddenly offended by it. It was very clearly taking a pop at the types you mention, it was a piss-take and not anti anything.
As I remember it, the song was was sung for a few months from early 2008(?) with no reaction at all but when Rangers beat Celtic at Parkhead early the following season and the Rangers=Bad clamour that followed it was suddenly claimed that the song was anti-Irish and mocked the Famine. A very coordinated attack followed and the song was fast-tracked to being the most offensive thing ever without the words or sentiment really being debated.
Always seemed to me that Rangers fans having a song that took the piss out of the absolute core of them with their Plastic Paddy tendencies really stung and they just couldn’t have that.
I’m sure that in the wave of offence that followed there was even a verse of the song offered as evidence of being offensive, a verse that had just been made up by someone and wasn’t in the original song?
It was a surgical strike by them right enough, I’m sure that even tweeting or sharing the words of the song to from instead that it is more sarcastic than actually offensive would see you in bother.
Depends who is singing it… supporters of other clubs are able to sing a song to that tune without a care or comment.You can see where the downtrodden, orchestrated by such individuals as Michael Stewart, want this to end up, i.e. a tune being banned due to the eternally offended, just as the tune of Marching Through Georgia is apparently unacceptable, no matter what words are sung.
Correct. Those who have jumped on the bandwagon are not interested in the truth or reality.It hardly needs explained, the whole thing was orchestrated outrage that was completely invented by people who hate our very existence.
That was it.. umpteen verses that nobody was interested in singing at a football match were found (although I’m sure someone added a few lines that nobody had ever seen before into the attack just for good measure) and suddenly you had “racism”.Yes, it was a reaction to them having a Famine banner at a match. It was fine until the Dirty Blighters song with all the verses came out
Well said M8, it seams as though we need to explain/ justify almost EVERYTHING we do whether it be songs, strips, celebrations, nationality, I for one am fkn sick to death of pandering to those scummy c&nts, and now we ALSO need to try and appease krankie, ussless, daily rebel, etc etc etc. F#ck every last one of them if they are offended by anything in our country they have the choice to gtf and join there long lost kid-on relatives in Donegal or Palestine, And let us get on with being the most British, most successful football club in the world. WATPNailed it. Some folk are so desperate to find a bigotry angle in anything we do that they’ll just flat out make one up. They absolutely feed off this shit.
Put it this way, it wasn’t the famine song, but they are pretending it is. That tells you everything.
You know what would piss them off more than us voluntarily giving up the orange walks? Us voluntarily giving up the orange walks. Same goes for singing the famine song.
Same goes for signing high profile catholics. Remember the praise he got from them for smashing that Catholic signing taboo they were raging about when mojo signed? Me neither.
I think it’s telling that on his podcast, there has only been one person of a ‘Rangers’ background.I believe Adam Miller is a pseudonym.
Your welcome just glad someone spotted the metaphoric humourThat made me laugh out loud. Thank you for cheering up a wet , miserable, home alone morning.
As I understand it, from folk that sung the famine song, they have explained a million times on here that it was aimed at the plastic paddys amongst the Celtic support.
Those scotsmen who have no irish ancestry, have never set foot in Ireland in their lives, yet you cant read their twitter or facebooks pages without being hit in the eye with shamrocks, balaclavas and absolute vile idiots pretending to hold machine guns.
Ruins the article by saying that famine song was aimed at Irish Catholics. This lie has been allowed to be turned into truth
It was aimed at a bunch of Scottish plastic paddies waving Irish tricolour. Their nationality and religion was totally irrelevant to the (crude) humorous element of the song
It doesn’t need explained for us - but the wider public’s perception of Rangers is important and so it’s good to see this opinion being represented - otherwise the famine song narrative is the one that is suggested - and unchallenged, seeds of belief are sewn.It hardly needs explained, the whole thing was orchestrated outrage that was completely invented by people who hate our very existence.

What even is that? It's like an apology but not apologsing.Disappointed he’s posted an apology, or at least posted an apology for certain words and phrases used.
I think he comes across as a decent guy and mocks the whole ridiculousness of the Old Firm rivalry, how seriously we all take it and how we lose perspective in it all. That’s the angle he’s coming from. And yes he does mock us a little, but ultimately it’s pointing how how daft the whole thing is.
Unfortunately though, politically he’s quite to the left and people have called him out for victim blaming, gaslighting bla bla bla. So he’s got a bit of cold feet as he’s probably thinking he’ll be accused of being anti Irish, anti RC etc etc and people calling him a hypocrite as he’s spoken about anti Semitism before. It’s basically a false equivalence though but one he’s struggling to get out of.

Basically that he is really sorry to celtc fans but what he wrote was still what he thinks and he's sorry again. Numpty.
Impossible to respect anything he says when he starts pandering to those idiots by reaffirming the notion that they are in any way a "marginalised group". Utterly grotesque and a slap in the face to members of actual marginalised groups.Disappointed he’s posted an apology, or at least posted an apology for certain words and phrases used.
