Nearly everything that can be said is usually been said best by Chuck D at some point - as long as you change the odd word.

They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn - I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
It occured to me
The suckers had authority

I'm not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
To criticize me some crime - never the less
They could not understand that I'm a fenian
And I could never be a veteran
On the strength, the situation's unreal
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel

Line 'em up y'all
 
The armed forces are a good career path...if you're no a total mong. A lot of the best folk in oil & gas are ex-forces.

If you're a stupid **** though then you've signed up to be IED fodder or out of some ridiculous notion of patriotism or you're a ******ed Hun bastard. Probably all three actually.

Have asked MOD to explain who allowed the Ibrox parade? Is MOD reviewing any such future parades?

alex thomson &#8207;@alextomo
It was only in January that General Officer Commanding, Scotland, described recent military parades at Ibrox as "inappropriate"

There has to be an "injury causing device" wending its way to Tomo surely?

Hmm. Most people join the army because they're either (a) unable to find any other form of work or (b) got bullied at school and have an overwhelming urge to kill people and (c) have small willies.

Its mostly former RAF engineers who are turbine techs now that I've worked with. Those ****s are usually switched on. You'd need to be when you're fixing fighter jet engines though
 
Mike Small is usually pretty quick to lump Celtic in with Rangers when he can but...

Three closely related questions strike you after watching this video. Which bright spark at the MoD thought this would be a good idea? Which executive at Ibrox organised this event? What kind of a country are we living in?

You can see how the custodians of the new club trading as Rangers can make short-term capital by pandering to jingoistic sectarianism. But what do the armed forces get out of it?

Roy Greenslade (and it&#8217;s absolutely no surprise it takes a non-Scottish based journalist to say it it), asks:

Will mainstream media report on sectarian singing by British troops? It will be interesting to see if any newspaper covers the fact that members of Britain&#8217;s armed forces appeared to join in with Scottish football fans as they sang sectarian songs at a match yesterday. Initial reports suggest not.

Some 400 uniformed soldiers, seamen and air force personnel attended an armed forces day at Ibrox, the Rangers ground. After a formal march and band music, a group of soldiers (they were in khaki) were filmed dancing, clapping and singing along with the crowd.

Although it is difficult to make out the exact words on the video posted on YouTube, people have identified sectarian songs and chants celebrating the death of the IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands.

Ever-present sports journalist (on virtually any sport you can mention) Tom English chipped in by saying:

Here&#8217;s a &#8216;radical&#8217; proposal. Both sides of Old Firm stop singing about Bobby Sands. Wearying and cringe-making tit for tat on that front.

In doing so, he spectacularly missed the point. This ISN&#8217;T about Celtic v Rangers fans. There isn&#8217;t always an equivalence. This is such tired lazy cliche. It doesn&#8217;t make any sense. The armed forces aren&#8217;t run-of-the-mill fans. The people who organised this are responsible for mass manipulation and exploitation. This was an event where military chiefs were in attendance and was sanctioned by football authorities. That simple reality must have consequences.
Here&#8217;s a really radical proposal, why don&#8217;t politicians, footballing authorities and the sports media respond appropriately and effectively to this event? It&#8217;s an opportunity for democrats and pro-independence forces to stand up to the unionist mob that threatens and intimidates anyone who challenges it.

As one tweeter put it simply: &#8220;If they do not condemn & prosecute serving soldiers for anti-Catholic slogans/chanting, then what on earth are we to think of them?&#8221;

That&#8217;s a simple enough question.

We&#8217;ll wait and see the response from the media, politicians and sporting authorities in the coming days. The response will answer the question &#8216;what kind of a country are we living in?&#8217; and a subsequent question, what sort of Scotland do we aspire to?

Ex-service commentor on that article.

This is an utter disgrace.

As it happens, I am an ex-serviceman. Also, as it happens, in my younger days, I have been known to sing &#8220;The Sash&#8221;, although usually only when I was far from sober.

However, one thing I never did, even when I was young and very foolish, was to engage in sectarian behavior, in uniform, and on duty.

In this particular instance, condemning both Celtic and Rangers fans for inappropriate singing or slogans just won&#8217;t do. There were no Celtic fans anywhere to be seen. However, there were serving members of the armed forces, wearing uniform, and apparently &#8220;on duty&#8221;, taking part in sectarian behavior.

In the above photo, five individual soldiers can be clearly identified. It shouldn&#8217;t be too difficult to find out the names of all five of them.

It is possible that two of them could just be innocent bystanders, but three of them are clearly holding up a banner with a picture of King Billy and the slogan &#8220;Keep Ulster Protestant&#8221;. Those three soldiers are bringing their regiment into disrepute, contrary to Queen&#8217;s Regulations. They should be charged, and, if they are found guilty, they should be dis-honourably dismissed.from the army.

I say &#8220;if&#8221; found guilty, but, given the indisputable evidence of this photo, there is really only one defence they
could possibly have against such a charge: that they were ORDERED to do this by a superior officer.

If they were indeed ordered to do this by a superior officer, then that superior officer was bringing the regiment into disrepute, contrary to Queen&#8217;s Regulations, and should be charged; and, if found guilty, dis-honourably dismissed from the army.

In any case, regardless of whether the men in this photo were &#8220;just obeying orders&#8221; or not, it is a fact that the presence of a large number of serving soldiers at Ibrox in what turned out to be a blatantly sectarian event was organised by SOMEBODY. And almost certainly NOT organised by a junior officer. At least one very senior officer must have been involved, and they must have had the active involvement of other officers who thought this a good idea.

Who was the most senior officer involved? We, the public who pay their wages, have a right to know, and it should not be too difficult to find this out.

Who were the other officers involved? We, the public who pay their wages, have a right to know, and it should not be too difficult to find this out.

EVERYBODY involved in this disgraceful episode should face charges. The only way any of them should be able to get out of being charged is by saying they were obeying orders, naming the officer who gave them those orders, and giving evidence at that officer&#8217;s court martial.

At least some of those involved must be dis-honourably discharged. That is the only way to get across to all other serving members of the armed forces that this sort of behavior is NOT acceptable.

Putting a uniform on doesn't increase intelligence or morality. If anything it makes it easier to act like another **** in the crowd. Anyone surprised by squaddies acting like stupid fuds need to check themselves
 
Sectarian singing, supporters on fans' sites threatening to kill people, shady characters running the club, falling out withthe mainstream press, squad full of overpaid players and money disappearing out the door with no one knowing where it's going or whether there will be enough in the coffers to see the club to the end of the season.

Good to see they're not repeating the same mistakes of years past.
 
Andrew Dickson, who presents the club's official TV channel - Rangers TV - suggested detractors should "take a look at their passports and remind themselves of where they come from...".

He's an unmitigated ****. An "offended troll" who attempts to noise folk up then greets like a lassie when folk bite.

That is precisely the attitude that's the problem with Huns.

He was only moaning the other week about folk (he meant Non-Huns) using Lee Rigby to pointscore after backing the pointscoring arseholes with the Lee Rigby flag days before.

I checked my passport and I can't find the bit where I'm duty-bound to be cool with uniformed soldiers singing about joining the YCV (Father's advice), giving straight arm salutes or bouncing about like partisan fannies.

I did find a wee bit at the bottom of my passport where it says kit-kat analogies are terrible and Andrew Dickson is a cue baw heided throbber.

I've just checked my passport and I still don't have a clue what Dickson is trying to say. I can only guess he is attempting to make some sort of half arsed, badly thought out attempt at defending the wholly indefensible.
