TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 About what? IRA members dying? I think the huns have an overblown estimation of who/what they upset by saying/singing their folk songs. Quote
minijc Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Do you know who he was? He was a member of the IRA...who gives a shit if he is dead! Ok, next season i will sing that song at our matches aswell, actually maybe we should start singing most of their songs if it's about dead people and that!!! It's still secterian which is out of order and we shouldna put up with it, infact i think some of our fans are being secterian, i ahve heard some sing about the pope in the past aswell. out of order.

rocket_scientist Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I certainly don't give a fuck about Bobby Sands death, or any of that shit, and good point about the over-estimation by the scum. Reading the post, I thought he was coming across as anti-IRA i.e. having taken one side over the other. I wouldn't want to start that debate. That is all. Quote
jmo Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Out of interest, why is it ok to call Celtic fans 'Tims' but not call Rangers fans 'Huns'? Quote
glasgowdon Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Out of interest, why is it ok to call Celtic fans 'Tims' but not call Rangers fans 'Huns'? I use both terms frequently. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Out of interest, why is it ok to call Celtic fans 'Tims' but not call Rangers fans 'Huns'? It is OK to refer to both names and suffix the word "cunt" to the end. Quote
jmo Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 To rephrase. Why does no-one get all pissy when you call a Celtic fan a tim, but you get labelled as sectarian as soon as Rangers fans are reffered to as huns? Quote
manc_don Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 because all tims are called timothy o'tool I suppose because it doesn't have any sectarian connotations, which hun does. Now if we called them (potato hoarders, sorry pickers) Fenians, thats another matter. Quote
manc_don Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 cos the Tims call themselves "Tims". This is true, it quite amuses me that there is a shop in the Barras called "Tim Land". Quote
rocket_scientist Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Speaking of chants, you younger ones won't necessarily be aware of a couple of little ditty's that the Beach End used to let rip. One song included "we're up to our knees in fenian blood, surrender or you'll die". Another included "The cry was no surrender, surrender or you'll die (die, die)". This was in the 1970's, and sang by a significant enough proportion of dandies that you could recognise the specific tunes even if you were golfing at Hazlehead. EDIT: The last bit - Hazlehead - was a wind up. Not in the mood tonight. Quote

Aberdeen_Ladette Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Anyone else cringe when we sing "Ha ha ha ha" etc... to the tune of their "Hello Hello" filth? I didn't. That was one of my favourites from a great repertoire of songs last night, it really winds the huns up. Why the fuck are you still here?, Barry/Walter whats the score?, there were so many. Laughed out loud when 'We want six' was first sung, class! Quote

I did LOL a couple of times, like major LOL. Eberdeen. Fars like us? Quote
dave_min Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Isn't the term "Hun" taken from a newpaper headline in the daily ranger that talked of "marauding huns"? Quote
Ajja Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Aberdeen fans sang that? Wasn't aware of that, only ever heard Rangers fans singing it. Even throughout the 80's Dons fans used to sing these songs. Was telling Padre on Thursday night a story when myself and fatjim were in the SS and some casuals were singing 'No pope of Rome' and the last line they sang 'every day is the 4th of July'. Pretty much summed up the intellectual power they were able to muster up between them. Of course we were forced to enquire what American independence day had to do with the pope. The response was predictably difficult to process, involving some grunts and downwardly genetically modified social commentary Quote
