Guest TPAFKATS Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 They are all British songs though, nothing to do with Scotland v England. Indeed, Rule Britannia was written by a Scot.They are songs sung by English football fans when they follow their national team. The only non English fans who sing these are sevco. Some norn irn fans might also like a bit of GSTQ. This is actually a great example of how England and Britain has become blurred and share an identity but that's for another thread.

pozbaird Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Is someone seriously taking offence to a St Mirren song which simply celebrates a famous victory at Celtic Park!? Really? The part about ‘couldnae’ hear the Soldier Song’ clearly, absolutely, 100% is saying that St Mirren were shutting up the home fans and you couldn’t hear them. Personally, if there’s anything to get offended about from those days, it’s Celtic fans singing about the IRA or hunger strikers, and fcuking the Queen, or Michael Ryan breaking into Buckingham Palace, or gibbering about Popes, beads and Rome, or whatever other shit that side of the ugly brothers had in their extensive songbook. FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Rangers and England fans have hijacked the songs isn’t something that we should take offence to. It’s something that should be laughed at.

Geordie Saint Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 5 hours ago, Doakes said: Still in touch with a few Bradford fans who travelled up for that game. Clearly weren't too offended, one of the lads actually travelled up to watch us play QOTS. Had him singing Saints songs in the Spread Eagle To be fair, it was only a handful of youngsters that day. They just happened to be sat in the row behind us so a bit too close for comfort. The funny thing is i'm probably friendly on a one to one, personal level with the lads who were singing on Saturday. As has been said, it probably wasn't too venomous and just a means of winding the mackems up or a reaction to their songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 The next time someone sings ‘Paisley’s a shithole, I want to go home’, that’s it, I’m going to be offended down to my boots.

st jock Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'm guessing rule Britannia and GSTQ were getting sung because we were Scottish. Can't see the mackems having it as one of their own songs really. All banter. Same as the anti-English songs. If anyone was offended then f**k them [emoji41] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaksoft Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 It beggars belief that in 2018 we can still be obsessing over stuff like GSTQ and "Hate the English". No doubt both are sung as an attempt at "banter" but it's embarassingly shite banter. It's so shite that even hiring Pozbaird to come up with a replacement which included something about Asda, white dog shite and "whaurs the marquee signings" would give us something funnier.
