There are some corkers about the holocaust..... :hiding:
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?

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.

:BangHead:

A bit of misinformed Rangers-bashing here I see.

Anyone in need of a history lesson? :P

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.

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

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
