yawn

Yeah trying to point score over child abuse is about as funny as casual racism....just banter though yeah lads?

Not trying to score points,simply stating our opinions that Big Jock Did Know.

it is actually, and nearly every celtic fan i know takes it and give banter back, as its said in a non offensive vibe, but i suppose you dont get that?

but i suppose you have the morale high ground as usual

[Libertine]

the point is its football, and fans sing stupid songs, even though the majority dont even really mean it or care what they are actually singing, im sure arsenal have had a few dodgy chants about spurs etc etc

There are some corkers about the holocaust.....
But i'm sure 99% of fans that sing them don't think Hitler's treatment of jews during the 30's and 40's was a laughing matter.

What happened to ADS missus was bang out of order.
It's a shame no-one on Regent Street had the bollocks to step in.

But one of my workmates was racially abused today by 2 lads wearing irish hurling/football shirts (no idea what team - blue with a yellow stripe).
Do we now conclude that all irish hurling/football fans are racist too?

Not a fan of hurling but i think its kerry

Hmm funny that most Celtic fans I know got heated about it.

[BADGERBHOY]

I'm a Celtic fan and I definitely don't take that as any form of banter.

As someone else has already stated trying to point score over something as despicable as child abuse is shocking.

A bit of misinformed Rangers-bashing here I see.

Anyone in need of a history lesson?

Oh go on and inform us how nice your fans are and how bad Celtic are.

I was unaware of any violence between Arsenal and Rangers fans in the 1980s or 1963 but ill take your word for it
Holloway Road is the "Irish capital of England" and of course Arsenal were known as "London Irish" during this period due to their fans singing Irish songs and players like Stapleton,Quinn,O'Leary,Brady,Nelson,Rice,Morrow,McGolderick,McDermott,Decimeter,Jennings,Haverty,Murphy,Mancini,Neill etc around this time
There was always going to be trouble when Arsenal and Rangers met as Rangers also had strong links with Chelsea and Millwall as well as smaller links with Tottenham,Stoke,West Ham and Liverpool

[HollowayPaddy]

Jennings,Devine,Murphy,Haverty,Mancini,McGolderick,McDermott were also Gooners at this time
This worst bout of violence between the fans came in 1967
There was trouble on the North Bank,both sets of supporters throwing bottles and fighting with one another
Many were arrested and others taken to hospital
Beverages and drinks were banned from highbury as a result
Alex Ferguson was playing with Rangers
