Half wit phoned SSB a few moments ago claiming that the Ntional Anthem of the Republic Of Ireland was sectarian. Now if thus idiot is so stupid that he does not know the meaning of sectarian that is one thing, but none of the panel contradicted him to explain that the SOLDIERS SONG contains no reference to religion and in fact WOLFE TONE the grounding father of Irish Republicanism was in fact a PROTESTANT, as were some of those shot in the Easter Uprising. SS commemorates the war of independence of ROI fighting against colonial imperialism. Either the panel is ignorant or is actually racist against the Irish and their NA by permitting misinformation to be broadcast. No one pulled the guy up. They simply said they had not heard it. One question for the panel. If the President of the USA disembarked from his plane in the U K and stood to attention for the Star-Spangled Banner an anthem similarly commemorating the fight for freedom from an attempt to reconquer their country in 1812 would he also be criticised? Appalling that none of the panel pulled this clown up. Especially, since he referred to the NA of ROI as a nonesense. Why did they permit such racism to go unchallenged? Ignorance on their part or racism on their part? They seemed to condone rather than heavily criticise the caller. The famine song The billy boys bullied my gallows high all acceptable till UEFA appeared over the horizon to up an end to it.
Would have thought their punters would have had other things on their mind , their first ever semi final under fat ally at stenny, the tension must of got to him.
Hmmm...Celtic related? Scottish football related? Answer - No. Some ****in idiot phones a phone in spouting pish... no idead how it's racist tho. Moving to ROI board.
