I’m told that this video was played on the big screens at half time during the demolition derby on Saturday.
I think that these children have nailed it more powerfully than any of the running repairs to the stands at Ibrox.
Of course, those terms (Dirty, awful, Scary.) would also be apposite to describe the world view of The People.
At the recent sit down at Shirebrook General Ashley’s chap pointed out to the Sevco emissary that the ongoing proceedings in the High Court in Glasgow were not doing the Ibrox brand any good at all.
However, that is nothing compared to what The People can achieve all by themselves.
This season they have come up with a new song about hating Catholics.
There isn’t anything implied or nuanced about this.
They simply sing “we hate Catholics”.
I recall David Edgar, then of the Rangers Trust, arguing with Graham Spiers on the radio about the use of the word “Fenian” in the song “The Billy Boys”.
That ditty is about an eponymous Glasgow street gang led by Billy Fullerton who was a self-identifying Fascist and member of the Ku Klux Klan.
This, dear reader, is who The People laud in song in 2017.
Dirty, awful, Scary.
Indeed.
thanks again Phil ,
Anybody else thinks Billy Fullerton looked like a younger version of yon warden in The Shawshank Redemption? He’s a dead ringer,bit like Sevco to Rangers.
The background music for the community engagement video is a cover of ‘Where Is My Mind?’ by The Pixies. Opening with the line “With your feet in the air and your head on the ground”, it’s a song that conjures up caretaker coaches and veteran strikers tackled by Jozo.
It was written by Black Francis, who also founded the group Frank Black & The Catholics.
Since you mention the Billy boys bit Phil, amazing I just read about the one Sevco fan who’s been charged for singing it, think he should go on BGT, hell of a powerful voice he has, sounded like thousands of blokes and yet it seems he was all on his own…HH
To be fair Phil, the kids around Celtic Park made a video also. They’re fed up with Yahoo’s leaving empty cans and bottles lying about. We can’t pretend all of Glasgow’s problems has a hue of blue, that would be supremacist thinking. I for one, have fought against that mindset too long to allow it to flourish in our support. The Establishment loves discord and hatred amongst the working class. Not for me ! FREE THE PEOPLE !
They do indeed set themselves an incredibly low standard of morality.
… and then fail to achieve it.
In one word, Phil. Shameful.
Credit due to the holding company for trying to reach out to their fans to get them to respect residents and the local area.
Their PR is so bad that even when it is under their full control they couldn’t take it upon themselves to make sure there were some black, brown, yellow faces among the kids. Amateurs.
