I'd be embarrassed to have this argument with another rangers fan, i feel sorry for you celtic fans that put up with this bigoted arsehole i really would.

On that note by your continued idiotic logic.

The IRA deny they are murderers
Many people believe they just murder for freedom - thats ok though.

Racist Policies = Political
Racist Songs = Melodies

The sooner you and all eejit IRA members and supporters go the way of bobby sands the better

Bring on the year 2111 when hopefully all these fannys have stopped reproducing and learned to keep there Irish ****e out of Scotland

 

Doubtless the BNP will argue they are not racist, in fact they do it all the time, but you and I know they are racist despite their denials.

They shroud their racism with the pretence of being a political party, so who should make the judgement call on whether they are to be seen as political or racist entity? Should we waste our time arguing over it? I think we are above that, therefore common sense tells us that they are racists with a political agenda, but they are most definitely a political entity.

 

Therefore I suggest my particular analogy is fair. I'm not saying that singing about the IRA is the same as singing about the BNP, just that it could be argued both are political causes, the difference being is that some people who may not be offended by IRA songs would be offended by "political" BNP songs and vice versa. The BNP would doubtless hate pro IRA chanting with a vengance, they would see it as totally wrong whilst failing to see what they are doing is every bit as offensive (perhaps even more) as other people's choice of songs.

I'll bet I could name plenty of songs which would cause people offense, likewise I could name plenty which would not. Celtic FC have many great songs which could not in a million years be construed as being offensive, that's why we should stick to them in my opinion.

 

Which takes us back to context. What merit or evidence of legitimacy does "ooh ahh up the Ra" have when sung inside a football stadium? (which is what this particular individual was remanded for apparently). What political message was he attempting to make?

I don't think i'm being unfair, based on the scant facts we have, when I suggest his sole intent was to cause offence.

 

I have heard Celtic fans singing :

ooh ahh up the Ra
ooh ahh up the Ra
I said ooh ahh up the Ra
ooh ahh up the Ra

In isolation, as a song on it's own.

 

they have made their position clear as have celtic as have the spl...

 

But they have made their "views" clear in their rules. I know you feel there is ambaguity in them but I feel they are clear cut!

Excuse spelling and typos... I'm pissed

 

this is how it is most commonly heard.

 

So now we are beginning to get a clearer picture. He was remanded because he was unlikely to turn up in court voluntarily, I don't see the problem with that.

 

Just read the lyrics for the Celtic Symphony? Anyone care to try and explain why this is a Celtic song and what it is about?

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldnt set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Chorus 1
na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na.

I'm a sailor man from Glasgow town,
I've roamed this world round and round,
Hes the meanest thing that I have found,
In all mydays of wander.

Chorus 1

But I could see his evil eyes,
Twas then he took me by surprise,
Take me to your paradise,
I want to see the Jungle.

Here we go again,
We're on the road again,
We're on the road again,
We're on our way to Paradise,
We love the jungilty,
That's where the lion sleeps, (yeeeaaaaahhhh)
For in those evil eyes,
They have no place in Paradise.

Grafitti on the walls just as the sun was going down,
I seen graffitti on the walls( Of the CELTS, Of the CELTS),
Graffitti on the walls that says we're Magic, We're Magic,
Graffiti on the walls.......Graffiti on the walls........
And it said..............
Ooh ah up the Ra, say ooh ah up the Ra (x6).

We went to each jungle deep,
For the Paradise that we did seek,
Was noted for the weak,
There was some with the natives.

From the Amazon to Borneo,
From Africa to Tokyo,
To the darkest jungles of the world,
But nowhere could i lose him.

Around in circles every way,
He turned to me and he did say,
I think your leading me astary,
I want your soul me boyo!
