I presume you can't see the irony in the post.

Neither it seems can Ally Ross with his 'he's lucky the Scots are such a polite people.' Laugh out f*cking loud! This the same 'polite people' where English 'immigrants' to rural areas have to leave having had their lives made a misery? Ross: You are truly my w*nker of the week. Maybe even the year.

GSpain and TheBoss: Let me explain my own views on the old firm. I couldn't give a f*ck about Celtic. I don't watch them and I don't look eagerly at the weekend for how they're doing. What I do take an interest in the old firm is their rivals, a club that is anti-Irish catholic from the chairman to the dirty latrine he sh*ts in. Would you blame a player like Paulo Di Canio, Sini�a Mihajlović, both fascists of Lazio or Raul or Salgado, who both posed with neo-nazi flags for a neo-nazi fanzine, visiting Israel and getting grief because of their views? Probably not. Well you can't expect the Irish to applaud someone who's made money from a club with such an anti-Irish history.

I think if either of you think the 'Famine Song' is some sort of harmless fun that doesn't concern us then I think you need your heads examined.

Wonder how Ross would have reacted had English-born Scots internationals like Speedie, Rioch et al been subjected to racist abuse by English supporters. And when were English born Irish internationals (Aldridge,Lawrenson, Townsend etc,) ever abused by English supporters? Like it or not the problem here lies with the anti-Irish bigotry that still exists in some of the darker corners of Scottish society and alas Scottish journalism.

Maybe its just me but I find this famine song more pathetic than offensive. I dont have any recollection of the famine and it doesnt rekindle memories of any family trauma's and I'm just bewildered by these fans who spend time dredging through history to find something obnoxious to sing about and seem completely oblivious to the fact that their clubs are actually multi national businesses now rather than tradition based.

Scots aren't the most 'polite' people. Interesting article here, not football related, but still interesting.

Anyone watch the game? How did the crowd react to McCarthy?

Lads don't worry about the in-bred Scots, let me explain in the now famous words written by a Scot, a bit tongue in cheek but lots of truth here, ( could also apply to us

)

"I hate being Scottish. We're the lowest of the f*cking low, the scum of the earth, the most wretched, servile, miserable, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the English, but I don't. They're just w*nkers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by w*nkers. We can't even pick a decent culture to be colonized by. We are ruled by effete arseh*les. It's a sh1te state of affairs and all the fresh air in the world will not make any f*cking difference."

Very good. Anyone read reacently about the young Scot - incidentally with a surname of Ross - who was convicted of killing an Asian while a teenager, fourteen years after he'd done it? Now there are racist murderers in Ireland, but this one caught with a notebook with swastikas besides slogans like 'Kill the English'. Guess what he did when he grew up? Joined the British Army? You couldn't make it up.

My message to Ross and the other imbeciles is simple: Show us your passport and let's see if your 'country's' mentioned on the cover.
