Huns in trouble after song mocking the famine

[T Fearon]

Scotland's shame yet again (no I'm not talking about the second best club there being knocked out the Champions League by non entities from Lithuania). Apparently acting on a complaint from a Celtic fan, Irish Diplomats have raised their concern  with the Scottish Assembly,about the singing of this song at Parkhead a couple of weeks ago by Huns ( I believe it goes something like "The Famine's over, why don't you go home" accompanied by throwing potatoes onto the pitch.

I will wait with keen anticipation for action from the Scottish Assembly, meanwhile I am totally not reassured by the fact that Rangers FC have asked their fans not to sing this song

[Denn Forever]

What can Rangers the club do to stop their fans singing songs?  They were talking with the police to arrest persons who were singing such song but for some reason this was not possible.  I suppose that was a rather pie in the sky response but again how would Rangers the club prevent the fans of their team singing?

[Main Street]

Sure the last verse is just a bit of light hearted banter  

'Now they raped and fondled their kids
That's what those perverts from the darkside did
And they swept it under the carpet
and Large John he hid
Their evils seeds have been sown
Cause they're not of our own
Well the famine is over
Why don't you go home?'

I predict that there will be a News item about an UEFA investigation into allegations made against Celtic.
The News item will not state that the investigation amounted to opening a letter from a Rangers fan then 5 seconds later chucking it into the bin.

Pretty tasteless indeed. A bit like the humble potato.

Typical T Fearon , posts this sort of bull from his high horse while using a abusive sectarian term.

The use of sectarian term to post it makes his opening ''out rage'' farcical

I imagine where the bould Tony is coming from is...

Hun = Rangers fan or Rangers player.

Ergo Nacho Novo a Spanish Catholic is a hun.

And Jock Stein a Scottish Protestant was not a hun.

Rangers fans get called huns by everyone in Scotland. Not just by Celtic fans.

What utter nonsense.
The Irish Embassy is well within it's juristiction to act on any complaint on perceived racial bigotry against the Irish.
It does not matter if its a dual national or a British national who highlights the incident to the Embassy.
The Embassy has a duty towards Irish Nationals/Irish community in Britain.

You really haven't got a clue

Tony may be doing his faux outrage, but the song is unacceptable.

Many Irish people follow celtic, and I think they have every right to complain about this.

The song is pretty bad alright. I think a certain amount of footballing banter is allowed between sets of rival fans but things like child abuse and famine is overstepping the mark by a long way.

disgusting song, just as bad as when some celtic fans sang at them '6 million jews and it should've been protestants' a few years back. i cringed for us then...i cringe for them now

i also cringe when i hear fellow celts disgrace the name of our club by singing pro ira songs

So you'd support the British embassy complaining about Irish soccer supporters singing stand up if you hate the Queen?
