The Celtic Songbook Part 1

Below are some videos of Celtic supporters surprising anyone naive enough to believe the propaganda that they do not indulge in Sectarianism.

Thanks to Ross for the research.


Ladies and Gentlemen, I can now present you with Celtic Football Club and "The Greatest Fans In The World". Fans that are renowned for their hatred of all things British, Protestant, Royal and Loyal. Over the last few years Rangers' songs and chants have been discriminated from all walks of life. This despite our closest rivals continually being praised for their behaviour and hideous song choices. Don't be fooled here folks: every week throughout the country glorification of named terrorists and the groups they belonged too are sung with gusto and hatred - but not for much longer.


Allow me to introduce to you, "The Celtic Song Book"


Celtic Symphony


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN7jTXmRuBQ

The lyrics are shown below;

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldnt set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Chorus 1
na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na.

I'm a sailor man from Glasgow town,
I've roamed this world round and round,
Hes the meanest thing that I have found,
In all mydays of wander.

Chorus 1

But I could see his evil eyes,
Twas then he took me by surprise,
Take me to your paradise,
I want to see the Jungle.

Chorus 1

Chorus 2
Here we go again,
We're on the road again,
We're on the road again,
We're on our way to Paradise,
We love the jungilty,
That's where the lion sleeps, (yeeeaaaaahhhh)
For in those evil eyes,
They have no place in Paradise.

Chorus 3
Grafitti on the walls just as the sun was going down,
I seen graffitti on the walls( Of the CELTS, Of the CELTS),
Graffitti on the walls that says we're Magic, We're Magic,
Graffiti on the walls.......Graffiti on the walls........
And it said..............
Ooh ah up the Ra, say ooh ah up the Ra (x6).




It doesn't take a genius to see the glorification of the IRA in this song.






Roll Of Honour




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfhXbDtlpI8


The lyrics are shown below;


Read the roll of honour for Ireland's bravest men
We must be united in memory of the ten,
England you're a monster, don't think that you have won
We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons.



This is a favourite among TGFITW, and is aired every away game without fail. The song commemorates the participants in the 1981 Irish hunger strike, which praises the 10 IRA volunteers.


Boys Of The Old Brigade

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrjM9zPAEFY


The lyrics are shown below;

Oh, son, I see in mem’ry's view
A far off distant day
When being just a lad like you
I joined the IRA.

Where are the lads that stood with me
When history was made?
A Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see
The boys of the old brigade.



Another favourite among the Celtic fans that's lyrics says it all.




Roamin In The Gloamin'



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DyDDpYpnZg


The lyrics are shown below;


Roamin in the Gloamin with a shamrock in my hand,
Roamin in the Gloamin with St Patrick's fenian band.
And when the music stops, fuck King Billy and John Knox,
OH its great to be a Roman Catholic.


Again, the sectarian lyrics are clear to see.




The Fields Of Athenry


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_pIrRM3ww8


Low lie the Fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
(ooh baby let the free birds fly)
Our love was on the wing,
(Sinn Féin)
We had dreams and songs to sing,
(The I.R.A.)
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.




Glasgow Celtic IRA

  1. Some of those songs haven't been sang in years. Some aren't even sectarian, cases have been thrown out of court this year for people singing Roll of Honour... Therefore how does it constitute as sectarianism?


    It was nice to see the servicemen doing their families proud at Ibrox a few weeks ago. Oh, wait...

    The IRA reference in the Celtic Symphony is now largely sang as Ooh, ahh, Samaras. Celtic have largely reduced the issue of sectarianism, particularly during home matches and it is great that families can go to games without fear of their children hearing sectarian bile. Away games are historically and still remain to be a problem for the club. But this slander against Celtic seems to stem from a place of resentment and dislike.

  2. What a load of absolute rubbish.

  3. Roll of Honour is to remind us about the courage to do a sacrifice for what you know is right. The end of humiliation and political status. The Fields of Athenrye tells a story that if you steal some corn from an english lord you'll be separated from your family and deported. I'm from Sweden, but have flashbacks to a life during the Easter Rising.
