For the record I do not support loyalist/protestant paramilitaries or any songs/chants supporting them (in case I’ve not made it clear in the past)

Should be okay anyway.
If the knuckledraggers want to show themselves up to be the vermin they are, I say let them

Why would you want to sing about a Fascist who fully supported Hitler and his Nazi regime and who also had strong connections to Americas KKK ? Strange people these Zombies, demand we "Lest Forget" our heroes from the Second World War but are happy to sing about a guy and his gang of thugs who supported the other side, who killed our heroes from the Second World War.

Just a quick word of explanation for the benefit of the slow.

There is no reference in this thread of people who “want” to sing anything about anyone.

Or any of my threads for that matter.

Just a bit of mild curiosity as to why people get the jail for singing a silly wee song while people get away with jail for doing worse.

It’s a bit of satire, and it works, it gets the yahoo and the Hamish spitting mad

And now the SFA, who remember are the moral guardians of football and are responsible for sanctions against those who bring the game into disrepute are allowing “a Fascist” to goose step through The National Stadium

But as long as he doesn’t sing The Billy Boys, he’ll be welcome

Breaks my heart to see Scottish people using sterotyped derogatory names for fellow Scots never heard a French person calling another French person a frog

" who remember are the moral guardians of football".


I disagree, I think the moral guardians of football are the fans themselves.
