Ok, as I asked before, can you please explain.
Let me put this straight again, I don't agree with biggotry & it has no place in society, let alone at football.

Glasgow Man City. It is folk like YOU which contribute to the problem in the Scottish game, and now get City fans involved as well? No Surrender, The Famine Song - Not bigoted?? Are you daft?
If they aren't bigoted - why do you bother singing all that pish, it's F All to do with football. If it's because you're proud to be British...why don't you sing those songs at Scotland games because after all Scotland is also part of Britain. Oh aye I know...because you know what would happen to you if you did.
Follow follow not bigoted? Why FTP and the Vatican then?
Build my gallows. You joking? The Sash - a rather gay folk song...why sing it if it's not to stir up trouble?
The majority of Rangers fans are too dumb to even realised their bigots half the time. Celtic fans ain't great either, but at least they do have a few footy songs and can stay out of trouble.

Look mate, I'm not defending these songs, just saying they are not actually bigoted. The famine song is a pisstake - did I sing it, find it PC, no but I did find it quite funny considering it was one of the first times I heard it.
Build my Gallows - I honestly don't think I sang either, or FF or the Sash but I'm not sure as I've said before. As for being proud to be British, yes I am but I don't see this as a reason to sing these songs either. No surrender to the IRA, I've heard at many City games over the years - as I'm sure you have - and I don't think that is bigoted - if you replace IRA, with Al Quieda (sp?) then I don't think it makes it anti muslim.
EDIT
Just re read your post, it's one thing to say that it's people like me who contribute to the problem in the Scottish game when you don't know me, never mind saying I'm now getting City fans involved. Any City fans I've seen/heard singing these kind of songs have been big enough to make up their own mind, and would probably kick shit out of anyone who tried to tell them what to do

Please explain where anything of what I have said makes me a bigot
Quote:
Did I join in with "No Surrender to the IRA" yes and I don't think this is in anyway bigotted, did I try to get people to join in - no.
Did I join in with the famine song, no - but I did laugh and explain it to my cousin's wife who was standing next to me.
Did I join in with "follow, follow", "the sash" or "build my gallows" - possibly once in the first 10 minutes but I'm not sure, did I encourage others to join in - no.
No Surrender.... - clearly sung by the majority of the City end to a group of fans who have outwardly supported a terrorist organisation who have caused carnage in this country, including Manchester. - Not biggoted
The famine song - a complete pisstake of fans who sing songs about the history of the Irish famine and how Irish they are - not of actual Irish fans & certainly not of Catholics - so again not biggoted.
Follow, Follow a Rangers song not biggoted, The Sash - proven in a Scottish court not to be biggotted, Build my Gallows - again not biggoted.
Now none of the above songs/chants are PC, and I don't claim them to be, but I'm sure we've all uttered some non PC stuff at Football in the past.
And for the last 3, as I said I may have joined in with one of then in the first 10 minutes - not right, but not biggotted. If you are going to start slinging mud, I suggest you check your facts.
I think you have just answered that for yourself.....
Facts
1) The atmosphere in the ground at Celtic was friendly, good banter and us City fans were looking forward to it as we had not been before.
2) As soon as you came in and unfurled your great flag and then started singing the sectarian songs the atmosphere changed.
3) One of your group was so pissed and obnoxious and never stopped his bigotry for a momement and was'nt bothered about the game.
4) Trying to convert a young lad with his mom about why the Celtic fans were not Scottish but Irish and had no right to be there
5) You came with an agenda that day and it wasn't to support Man City, it was to go to Parkhead and act like you would when Rangers go there. Anti catholic and anti Irish.
Yes Sir, you are a bigot.........
