    The funny thing is that I personally find the Famine song much more offensive than the Billy Boys. The first one is referring to everyone of Irish descent to **** off back home, the second one is up to your knees in the blood of Irish rebels (which is historical/political and not necessarily sectarian as the Fenian brotherhood was in it's origins a mixed religious Presbyterian and Catholic organisation) yet it's the later in which you keep getting pulled up.

    Ask a Hun what they mean when they are calling you a 'Fenian bastard' and I doubt the complexities of mid 19th Century rebels will come into it too much. Although I agree with the what you are saying, the "famine song" is much more offensive to me anyway.

    Hun is described as having sectarian undertones by a Scottish court and by charity nil-by-mouth. I'd much prefer it if you wouldn't use that term as it offends me. <ok>

    I know the case to which you refer and I am afraid it didn't say the word had sectarian undertones. Never mind eh?

    Nil by mouth says it is sectarian.

    Regardless, it offends me and surely that's all that matters.

    Please refrain from using it.

    Thanks <ok>

    I know you are being flippant. I just don't know for what purpose.

    btw I have just been speaking with a Hibs fan who attended the game yesterday. according to him, there was a rendition of WATP but an absolute categorical denial that they sang the racist 'famine' song.
