While a learned sensible man could sit back and determine that deriding a political figure is maybe a bit different from deriding a religious figure I think it's fairly obvious that both sets of supporters have the same intentions in trying to offend by slagging off their figurehead.
I don't think anyone is trying to offend anyone, it's all about Winding up the opposition. Of course, nowadays, this is frowned upon because the nation has turned into a collective of whiny vinegar titted pussys. Our ancestors must be ashamed at what we've become.
A learned and sensible man would also condemn both sets of fans. Rebel chooses only to condemn one side.
if celtic fans sing sectarian songs I will probably be more damning than I am of Rangers fans. until that day comes....
Rebel why dont you just admit your a biased bigot? I mean being a neutral like myself looking in, it's pretty plain to see.
Again you duck the issue. Why is it OK to sing '**** the queen', but a heinous crime to sing '**** the pope'?
Thanks lads you've really educated myself today with this sectarian bull ****. The general chat should have a new name. How about the Sectarian Section??
Celtic fans sang that Walter Smith was a sad Orange Bastard, despite him not being in the Orange Order. A sensible man would say that the word Orange disguises the word Protestant, much like the insult offered to non-Catholic "Protestant" Christians in NI, and is such, a sectarian song.
I haven't ducked any issue. **** the pope is sectarian **** the queen is not. I have addressed this more than once.
You could mount that argument. You could also oppose that argument. As I have successfully argued on another thread
So in a nutshell Rebelcunt's saying that its ok to sing **** the queen but **** the pope is bad? Basically that it's all about the context of the words being shouted than the words themselves?
That's utter nonsense. You can't say that something is morally acceptable because it's not sectarian. I could kill a random stranger in the street and that wouldn't be sectarian. It wouldn't make it right. If it's wrong to sing '**** the pope', it's equally wrong to sing '**** the queen'. There's no difference. The intent is the same in both cases.

Honestly Rebelbhoy you're nothing more than a blinkered, narrow-minded bigot if you can't accept that both songs are just wrong I would advise folk just to ignore thu cubt as you'll never get anywhere with him as long as he believes there's nothing wrong with his fans chants
This is like Deja Vu all over again. As for FARE, they are obviously an organisation set up with the sole intention of undermining Rangers FC, that much is clear. Mark Hateley and Martin Bain have basically said as much.
