I for one would not want to be anywhere near Glasgow [s]on the day one of the Old Firm clubs was wound up. The thought terrifies me. Think of the riots there would be. [/s]
😉
Hilarious davidjones.
I like to think so. Mind you I've has some quite entertaining nights out around Byres Road/Ashton Lane, but don't take it too personally. 🙂
davidjones - go back and hide in your locker.
That explains it then...
What, did someone from Glasgow steal you lunch money davidjones.
1st of many imo. Football clubs are ego trips for business men with too much money paying average sportsmen too much money and charging too much money to go and see.
watp = we avoid paying tax
watp = we avoid paying tax
We avoid tax paying?
payments 😀 its the way i tell them.
My person favourite is: no income tax, no vat, no money back, no rfc! Hopefully get an airing at Easter road
Nah, 'Who shagged all the boys' was a belter!
Your right there nobeer; sexually abusing children is much funnier than tax evasion..,
And you wonder why people want you to die.....
No, I don't think child abuse is funny, not at all. It was a song to highlight how a club covered up systematic child abuse, over a period of years.
Why would you want me to die? Over a game of football. That's not very christian.
Ok.
I'm not getting in to it. Child abuse or covering up child abuse is abhorrent to me. Singing about it is absolutely pathetic.
Oh well. Not long till this is closed!
Hard that Craig Whyte did it today so he retains preferred creditor status.. That's reassuring eh?
Brycey, there really is no point in trying to bring reason into a discussion about the old firm
Ho hum - MemberMore tax evasion by the scumbag millionaires of this country!
+1
Dundee went bust twice owing hundreds of thousands of pounds and it's us the taxpayers who pick up the shortfall when HMRC don't get what's owed.Staff at Dundee had NI and tax deducted,supporters paid VAT etc on tickets ,pies and merchandise but none of it seemed to get to HMRC....I can't understand why HMRC don't keep tighter scrutiny over club's finances and step in before debts to the Treasury get too big.
As for Rangers I've heard that it was Craig White's intention all along to take Rangers into administration and as he is an assured creditor he wont lose out.This sort of thing goes on all too often in football,maybe elsewhere too. Perhaps us PAYE suckers should start kicking up more of a stink .Happy to be corrected on any of the above!
I see you lot uphold the stereotype

Fair do's, I bit. No offence.
None taken.
Legend's right. There are too many loonies (on both sides, and that's not directed at you nobeer) to ever get anywhere.

Agreed. At least if we go tits up, There won't be any old firm games any more!. I bloody hate the days the game is on, pissed up knob ends everywhere.

For me personally their liquidation will be a great day. today's not too shabby either mind!POSTED 10 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST
Of course,bearing in mind you previously defending your right to sing IRA songs at Parkhead,your postings have to be taken in context.You are just as big a bigot as the other lot,or are you just upholding "tradition?"
Celtic fans, without Rangers, what will be the point of the Spl?
Bigot in your eyes maybe. This may come as a surprise to you, but i don't really put any stock in your opinion, so bring this up again if you want, water of a ducks back to me..duckman - Member

I'm sure it'll survive.Celtic fans, without Rangers, what will be the point of the Spl?

So you define bigot in what way exactly? Just curious,as you do not seem to feel that going to Celtic park and singing songs about another religion is in any way indicitive of bigotry.Indeed you boasted about it on here. Why don't you define what is a bigot in [b]your[/b] eyes? I am sure I would love to be enlightened.
The term "tits up" used twice, do we have Sun readers on here?
As a resident of Manchester during their last visit, I certainly wouldn't shed a tear to not have to see Rangers delightful supporters ever again.
I'd fear for Scottish football though. If Rangers go, they might as well dispense with the formalities and just give Celtic the trophies at the start of every season. No need to actually play any matches.
Steve Claridge made an interesting point on 5 Live last night. Basically.... WTF were HMRC doing allowing Rangers to run up a tax bill of £50 million? Oh, yeah.... they were spending 5 years and £8 million chasing 'Arry Rednapp for £30,000!
From my close colleague sitting next to me who is a Celtic season ticket holder, if both Celtic and rangers bigoted fans do not realise that both clubs need each other to move forward out of the dark ages then Scottish football will be dead and buried.
Like i said, i'm not interested in your opinion...Plus you've just shown your complete ignorance in that one post, I've never sung a song about another religion in my life. You should go an educate yourself on the matter(don't expect me to do it for you.).duckman - Member

You claimed you did on another thread? Or is it just your ignorance of the meaning of the "celtic songs" that you sing?

Does that stand for Sunday pub league? The standard of football is the same 😆
Slight thread highjack...
A friend has written to the Football League in reference to Portsmouth's administration. Please consider signing it in support:

Rangers being liquidate and disappearing completely is unlikely I'd of thought. The other SPL clubs rely on the TV income and larger crowds they get from the Old Firm. Without Rangers the TV money will fall and there will be 4 less big games for each of the other teams.
As for the singing, both sections have songs that are offensive, and for a fan of either club to try and say that they dont is bullshit. They need to take their head out and sand and stop taking the "Aye, but so do they" or the "Our songs are political" stance. The majority of Olf Firms fans I know are very decent and dont sing these songs, but some do and they all need to grow up and move on.

HMRC have now played their card. Things would be even grimmer I suspect if the court rules in their favour. Not sure of the ins and outs though as the tax case verdict hasnt been settled yet?
If Portsmouth go tits up just support them in The Southern League .Halifax,and Chester still exist in non league form
I do, but i don't see where the religious aspect comes into IRA songs? I'd like someone to explain that to me? I've never sang a religious song in my life outside of hymns at mass as a child. Certainly nothing against any other religion. (btw as before I make no apology for singing them.)seosamh77You claimed you did on another thread? Or is it just your ignorance of the meaning of the "celtic songs" that you sing?
But anyhow, i'm not really wanting to get into this, as clearly alot of people just here the acronym IRA and it's like a red rag to a bull on here. Sensible discussion is not likely to follow.
Ah, so once you have finished a rousing chorus of songs about people who shot their own countrymen for no other reason than being of a different religion (which is in no way connected with bigotry)you sit down as soon as somebody starts up with anything about religion,well done.
seosamh77 - Memberbecause it is often sung with pro ira chants. I see once again you are trying to paint Celtic fan as whiter than white by criticising the actions of Rangers fans. Quite frankly your arguments are at about the same level as a petulant child who can only see the faults of others.
Who's painting celtic fans whiter than white? Not me anyhow, I've got myself into fights with celtic fans in the past after pulling them up over their behaviour. I'm well aware of our deficiencies as a support, more so than yourself i'd imagine.What i am saying though is that is that the equal blame people try to give out is wrong.
[b]Btw where have i denied anything about IRA songs, I sing them myself and make no apology for it.[/b]

no, stoppit, it hurts
seosamh77
if you cannot see the correlation between singing Celtic songs and bigotry and religious intolerance you clearly have failed to grasp the issues. Fortunatly the police have
"If you sing the Billy Boys or the Famine Song, we'll arrest you.
"If you sing the Boys Of The Old Brigade, we'll arrest you and there have been convictions in court before where that song is concerned.
"If you sing a pop song like Simply The Best, but insert 'F*** the Pope and the IRA' in the middle of it, we'll arrest you for that as well.
"If you sing anything that's derisory about the Pope or the Queen, we'll consider that an arrestable offence."
Now if I remember correctly the boys of the old brigade was one song you defended.
Infact here it is.
seosamh77 - Member"That makes you a sectarian bigot. You need to understand a bit of the history. This not a harmless folk song"
No it doesn't and i'm comfotable enough in my knowledge of the history, hardly an expert, but i've a grasp of it and continually learning.
Please tell how does singing a song, for example the boys of the old brigade or the broad black brimmer make me a sectarian bigot? you'll find the words online via a google search, go on explain it to me.
