I understand and agree with most of your post -
I'm not knowledgeable about their songs either - but if I understand correctly & in answer to the line 'timbo's use of the words ...really meaning protestant's' - don't they sing - 'soon there will be no more protestants' ? Don't they also sing about 'bayonets slashing orange sashes - to the echo of Thompson guns'? DOB is every bit as sectarian as 19th Century Terrorist imo
I'm not in anyway offended by anything they sing - it would be a bit like giving credence to something that has no importance - but I can struggle with the imbalanced way authorities and media alike deal with this broad issue -
I don’t think there can be any denial that ‘dirty orange bastards’ or ‘soon there’ll be no protestants at all’ are sectarian in content and should see the Yahoos punished similarly as a result, but I guess the question there is: who will take them to task over that in a European context?
Are UEFA observers at Celtic games listening out for similar indiscretions from the green and grey?
If not, why not?
The Scottish media won’t take Timbo to task over this either so how can we be sure the same scrutiny will be applied to everyone?
This is what the club need to address, but I get it’s actually quite difficult for them to do so without it seeming a bit whatabouterryish.
