I'm sure thiers many people when they hear any songs about the IRA won't like it because it brings back memories of a loved one who life was taken at the hands of the IRA. I suppose much in the same way people who see the poppy on football jerseys and it representing British army personnel who have died from the 1st World War up until present day including the soldiers who served in the North of Ireland feel when they see this symbol they think of their loved ones who died at the hands of the British army. I haven't heard a sky sports presenter saying these people who wear these poppy's need educated about the effects that these poppy's have on the victims of the British army and how much it pains them every time they see it. Also every time rule britania is sung the same emotions apply hurt and sad memories. Thiers a lot of history in Ireland all 32 counties we have our history the IRA has played a massive part in our history that's a fact from the start of the last century to modern day .I'm not going to tell an English person not to were a poppy or sing rule britania. And I don't want any English person telling me what I need educated about especially irish history .I think sky sports and other people commenting should stop and think before tell an irish football team of irish people get yourself educated they been educated in school and at home about the evil that has been brought to thier country by the English for 800 years .so fuck off the empire is finished now start learning how to be a good neighbour.
Well said that man......
I think if you asked most supporters they have absolute solidarity with the Irish disapora thats associated with Celtic, but............. i think while its a part of the fabric, there are many that would rather leave it behind. Ireland seems to have moved on. somewhat.. well you know what i mean,,,,
i'm somewhere in the middle, love the music and the truth in the message, its a just cause and republicanism is no different to the movement for Scottish independence. Fortunately there is a difference in that we are under political rule only and not occupation, nor facing assasinations for political ends.
The IRA are portrayed on this side of the pond as terrorists by the MSM, the fact is they killed people/innocents and what the british inflicted on another country is ignored much the same as the last few hundred years during their 'colonial and imperialist ideology'.
On a daily basis we see horrible shit. The media correctly reports it as heinous and disgusting acts being inflicted on your average people in other countries. Politicians fall over each other to get to the front of the queue. Me, i'm your average guy thats happens to love reading/reasearching history, the truth i know is that if the establishment in Britain was behaving like they did throughout last 200 years, then the rest of the world would be supplying certain countries with the military equipment to defeat us rather than your Putins.
As an aside, i'm a massive believer in independence. Simply because democracy is the only tool the average people can use to defeat the lunatic element on the establishment in a peaceful way. Voting can change the course of a country. But our nation will vote anything but Tory, yet we still get Tory rule. Voted to stay in Europe but we're out. We're about to suffer the pain of Tory rule now that they've went full on Tory, fuck the people, we're doing what Tories do. With independence, we'd never have another Tory councillor never mind a govt, hopefully at the same time the SNP would be finished too. I have heard many a hun complain about this Tory govt. 'the fucking Tories', but its these fucking unionist that are getting what they deserve, Westminster rule
Hicc, where was i.....
