The acceptable face of racism - Apparently

Sorry you can't make it out.

The chant is "Why don't you go home, why don't you go home, the famine's over, why don't you go home"

It's referring to the Irish potato blight, which led to a famine in which about a million people died of starvation. Many more had to leave their homeland in order to survive. Some of whom came to Scotland. I think anyone can see the racism and insensitivity in that.

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain.

The dutch supporters occasionally sing as song when they play against germans.
it goes something like
"Give me back my bicycle"
based on the fact that the nazi's took most of the dutch bikes during the war and melted them for weapons.
In 1994, a german artist gave back a few bicycles. (which he found n the streets of amsterdam) and gave them to the queen on her birthday.
so all taboes are fixed
He solved the inherent problem with this gift...
 
On a completely different, yet similar note;

I think I have met the biggest idiot in Scotland.

My husband ( protestant and Rangers fan) went with our neighbour( an atheist and a Celtic fan) to our neighbour's daughter's house a few weeks ago to watch the Old Firm game ( for those who don't know, it's when Celtic plays Rangers).

The daughter's boyfriend came out with the following gem:

'Ah wouldnae support Celtic if it wasnae fur the bigotry. Ah mean, that's half the fun innit? Getting to boot those dirty proddy bastards?'

:huh:
 
I think it was generally accepted that the truce could not go ahead without that constitutional reform. It basically forced certain hands.

"Right, that's your biggest objection. It's not there any more. What now".

Sometimes shit has to happen so you can grow roses. It appears to an outsider that your economy is coming on great guns (pun intended). I certainly see regeneration when I visit.
 
There was so Irish famine.

It says so on Derry's walls. True story.

There were plenty of spuds to go around. The proles just didn't get any.

I really love the title of this thread. Jpaul did you make that up on the spot like or is it standard inglo saying?
 
@ Chalice I suppose that is, as I said, the only real info I have gotten from people here so I guess I'm a bit more ignorant on the subject than I thought, Apologies, I will continue to ask others and get future opinions though for my own info.Thanks again man

@ JP dude,you seem to know a bit about this again your problem with me, whatever is it, overshadows any valid points you have. Its a shame really, you seem like a pretty smart guy but you also seem to attack me whenever I post in "your" section. I hope you don't think this will deter future posts in the lounge because it most certainly will not. You told me off, I told you off now lets stop the bullshit OK? I call for a truce how bout that?

My pleasure.

To be perfectly honest, it's nice to be able to speak with authority about a subject I can't help but know about.

Makes a change from the inept pish I'm used to spouting on here.

Idiots on both sides unfortunately.

Bloke I know who's a season ticket holder at Paradise says there's loads of them who go and he wouldn't mind if they never came back. The type who boo their own team, come away with the political nonsense, that type of thing.

I don't know what "inglo" means, mate. However I did make it up "on the spot", I was doing that irony thing. I knew the Americans wouldn't understand what was going on anyway so I thought it would be OK.
 
Well Im American Irish and I think this is some bull5hit. I have a good friend who just got here from Carrigmore around a year ago and he went after some guy for wearing a rangers jersey while we were working together, I asked him about it and he went on and on about the English and how it's pretty much his duty to fuck one of them up if he can. So although we Americans may not see it as that big a deal apparently its a serious thing other places. Things like this don't make the American media and I think it's a shame that America helps out many places ,but doesn't really do much for the Irish. And where is Bono he's off helping the African nations but he fails at helping his own, sorry just a rant

I don't have any problem with you, I don't even know you. I've read your posts on the internet and if they are anything to go by you are an ignorant and rude person, who defends it by saying "I was only joking, it's everyone else who misunderstands me". I do have a problem when you post shite about things you clearly know little or nothing about.

Post wherever you want it's none of my business, I certainly don't consider any part of a public forum to be mine, that's coming from your own wee head. For the most part I will ignore your drivel, if it gets too tedious I will simply ignore you. However when you post shite I will highlight it as such, if I care enough about the subject obviously.

I have never "told you off", you certainly haven't done the same to me. Grow the fuck up, we're not 13. Well I amn't.

"I call for a truce how bout that?" :lol::earl: Is it your ambition to make yourself look a total prat. If so you have succeeded. It's to your credit. There's no need for a "truce", just stop attacking people and posting nonsense.
