I'm not offended by it at all. Some people of different races and colours possibly might be. Just think it's very unpleasant and if I was a Dundee FC fan I would be very embarrassed by that.

(By the way, it is still ok to be offended by something that's offensive. All aboard the offended bus type comments can suggest that you support what has been said)

or rather not give two sh1ts stoke, its not about supporting its about not giving a f uck mate

Hardly. Not surprising that its been brought up especially in the current climate. Will be the same for a lot of other people who have done something similar in the past, probably floundering to delete old content before it gets highlighted. To be honest its shocking enough that they got away with it in the first place! I remember my mate at school got that CD and I was sitting in their livingroom with him and his dad as they both sung it word for word. Although not aimed at minorities in the song, some of the lyrics are horrific.

Fair do's. Threads like this and the Covid one get more attention when there's no football on. Grrr

We must be a similar age.

That’s why it came into my head because I was reading an article about racism in Dundee and that was one of my earliest memories.

As I said, don’t want to turn it into point scoring as there will undoubtedly be as just as many United fans who used language like that but weren’t daft enough to record it.

As a white male it‘s pretty easy to not take offence, I certainly don’t but I can point out the difference between right and wrong and certainly wouldn’t want my kids listening to it and singing along.

Thank phukk being white has some kind of benefit eh?

Aye, about 400 years of benefit.

In the original massacre O 65 lyrics the DFC keeper gets referred to as a shortened version of Pakistani,it was a shot that Ally Pakistani didnie see.

Something like that anyway.

I would say they are brilliant acurate forms of art at the time they were created.

I chuckle at them. Thon Boab maybe a dee but he is a funny one. Mind he played in a fans derby a few years back and fell right on his puss after running ten yards with excitement.

Written today it might cause some eye winks, but hardly worthy of pointing out.
