According to the police after they banned a Dublin Loyal banner: "Notwithstanding Article 14 of the Ground Regulations imposed by the Scottish Football League, Scottish Football Association and Scottish Premier League states that any song which could or might cause annoyance or offence is not permitted within any Stadia." As such, let's help them provide this haven of safety by addressing the main issues! Let's start by removing the disgraceful song below from the stands at Ibrox. Quite simply it has noplace in modern football as it could cause annoyance or offence to several groups of people. * 'Every Other Saturday' First off, given the references to women as objects of desire this song is clearly sexist. Add in it's choice of male name (Jock/Joe) then we clearly have a song that is anti-women. Why not the name Jo? Not having such a choice, means the song is anti-homosexual as it suggests women can't find other women attractive. Then we have the adjective 'wee'. In today's climate poking fun at the vertically challenged amongst us smacks of intolerance while the less vertically-challenged are ignored. Either way, this is annoying and sung to cause offence. Next, the song tells us how the singers 'love to see the Rangers score'. How dare they! The opposition fans won't like that as that suggests they will be beaten. This biased reference to winning is out of the question surely? It's not just this song that could cause problems of course. I dare any vegetarian to find a tofu-based product at the stadium - plenty meat pies but no houmous salad! Then we read of the Rangers owner and board directors obviously forcing Dundee Utd reps into toasting the Queen before a recent game at Ibrox. What would their proud nationalist supporters think of that? Add the Union flags at games (no Rainbow flag flying high obviously), then I can see many Braveheart fans not being happy as they sit under their Saltire in the away end. All of the above has no place in the modern game. After all, how can we solve bigotry, anti-social behaviour, ill-health, knife-crime, poor education standards and poor policing if we sing songs to annoy people. In a football stadium of all places! Join me now in backing Kenny Scott and the police by submitting what annoys and offends you at football stadia. Is it the colour of the opposition strip? Perhaps we should take the element of winning out of matches, ensuring a draw is the final result? What about referees - their spectacle sponsor pun cannot be tolerated surely? Submit/post your issues now! :box: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 8,003 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 The Blue Sea Of Ibrox should also be banned as it clearly descriminates against all other colours except blue - the same goes for the bluebells. What about the other colours of bells that are being descriminated against by those big bad bigotted Rangers fans.
