This abuse is now expected in Scotland, Rangers fans in particular have their own anti -Irish agenda….. the ’sheep’ follow claiming their “go home” and “your in the wrong Effin country” are a jibe at not playing for Scotland ….Racism for me thinly veiled but racism no the less…

Oh I see….so it’s obviously not racist then. Thanks for pointing that out.

I know William,

How dare anyone be offended by a chant which has been deemed racist, vile and offensive by independent no-partisan organisations, MP’s and HM’s police force. Where is everyone’s sense of humour over this fun supremacist ditty?

If you still feel the need to dsing it in public then try and explain your wee variances on what people hear and what you actually mean with yer wee bit o’ banter.

Man, try and join the rest of us in the 21st century blinker-boy. I look forward to attending the next Celtic-Rangers game without hearing this vile tripe, but then again I don’t share the same sense of humour. Any chance you could sing a pro-Rangers song or 2 which doesn’t mention Celtic, Fenians or the Irish?

Are to too stupid to realise the difference between “go home” and “Why don’t you go home” One is a direct order the other is an offer. It amazes me the lengths people will go to these days to be offended

I have at in work and had to explain why the famine song and abuse of James McCarthy is RACIST.

Anti-Irish racism is generally accepted in Scotland. I said to a colleague of Asian ethnicity…how would you feel if in your workplace if you face chants of “Paki go home”….she looked straight through.

I said to her that although I am white, both my parents are Irish (Tyrone and Cork) it doesn’t mean I can’t or my parents can’t suffer racist abuse.

My old man was know as ‘Paddy’ at work for years. His forename is not Patrick.
