    Pro IRA songs are political. Anti Catholic songs are sectarian. Will be interesting to see how this pans out.

    Don't see much wrong with some of the songs really, but if were not allowed to sing them then end of story and we deserved to be punished.

    Pro-IRA songs are NOT sectarian!! They can be offensive to people YES, and I fully understand that, but they are far from sectarian!! Love to see how this holds up if brought any further...

    I still cringed as the Up the RA part from the song was clear for all to hear. We have a fantastic song book, we do not need to sing these things.

    "Ooh Ah Up The Ra, said to be a pro-IRA song"
    * myself laughing at this.

    Can only hope people on our side don't back down over this and get it out in the open once and for all what is or isn't acceptable to sing without huns resorting to ignorant cries of "sectarianism". Not that we'll ever change their backward mentality but I hope that one day the general consensus will change.

    While we should ALL know by now that Pro-Ira songs are not sectarian but there's really NO place for them in a football game given how extensive our song book is.

    I blame the Green Brigade and their snobby approach to it all.

    The Fans think they can get away with these songs at away games - So why not sing them at Parkhead ??? are they scared they will get banned !!! Maybe it`s about time we started banning fans. This just gives people a stick to beat us with.

    They bring shame on the club - Were a FOOTBALL club so start singing football songs there are plenty of them.

    What are they doing to do, arrest the entire crowd and charge them with making political sentiments at a football ground?

    Another non-story.

    Again, fair play to the support on Sunday, they were fantastic.

    Despite the fact that we know that pro-IRA songs are political rather than sectarian the fact remains that our supporters have been made all too aware over the past few months that the powers-that-be, the lawmakers and police, would be on the lookout for instances such as this, because the way the law has been structured it is been set up to leave enough room to include incidents such as this.

    It is foolish to think otherwise.

    They're fighting the war on sectarianism in scotland and were about to see it in full force!

    We will end up banned from away games.. Watch this space

    I reckon the club will be fined, thought it at the time as well.

    It was as bad as it has ever been at the weekend, due to circumstances surrounding the game last season and the fact the mini huns are bigots.

    what rules haven't we observed? As far as I can see there is nothing sectarian in 'ooh ahh up the ra' or BOTB or Roll of Honour.
