Our £#%&!y support defies belief

Just sounds like people who don't like the IRA and disagree with having Religious leader in white robes to me.

Don't worry your little head love - this thread was aimed at people with a thinking facility. Your contributions thus far have ruled you out.

in all seriousness i think fuzzy could do bunker, bunker was only an engineer or something in the army werent he? not as if he was some hard as nails front line guy

No mate. Just an Atheist with a strong dislike for all Religions.

I personally wouldn't have sang it, and fully understand the connotations of singing it, but find it interesting to point out the simple mindedness of those that are offended by it.

He was a chef.

I'm a proud Englishman who happens to be a proddy. I think it's disgusting slagging off the Pope. If it was a muslim leader they were criticising they'd have been arrested. Why do we consider it acceptable to ridicule religious leaders just because we dont believe in them ourselves? If they were a predominently black club would it be OK to take the piss out of their colour? No. Somethings are beyond the pale and race, religion are two of them.

Come to think of it he does remind me a bit of George Costanza's dad.

The Steven Seagal kind? Or the Ainsley Harriot kind?

Good post Sniffer. I think I can understand Dunk's point but it's very naive.

My earlier point still stands.

You don't get it.

a. Get a grip and read up on the heritage of our club and
b. We've NEVER done sectarianism EVER

An all time £#%&!ing low.

Mind you Celtic fans roaming the streets singing "You can stick your £#%&!ing poppies up your arse" pushes us close.

Catholic by any chance?

He's gone very quiet, I hope he's not having a flash back to the war.

'The dishes, nobody washed the dishes!'

'I need 10ccs of margarine stat, bunker, eyes on the prize, don't go fubar on me now'

Yes. But more importantly I'm a Manchester United supporter.

The fun loving Protestants I was with were cringing as well.

Great post . Was at the game last night and around Glasgow yesterday, the pondlife among our support continues to grow. Racism, sectarianism etc wouldn't have happened with United 15 years ago. Now it's par for the course. There is definitely an element that were just singing it to wind Celtic up but that's hardly justification.

an incredible own goal by a moronic section of our support, left me feeling very uncomfortable.....all a bit Chelsea

and now we have given the moral high ground to Celtic fans....that's a first

hope it is never repeated

£#%&! the Old Firm and getting dragged down to their level

thankfully we avoided the pondlife because I knew exactly how they would act up, this isn't a new thing the deterioration in Euro aways started at nantes a few years back with the singing of little Inglander songs such as No Surrender to the IRA


btw a section of United fans were just as racist as other clubs in the 70s/ early 80s
