Sectarianism & the Old Firm

The Old Firm, the symbol some of the things I detest most in the world; football, religion and sectarianism violence. Religion and Sport; two things that should never be mixed. The Neanderthals who think that wearing a different colour of scarf is an excuse to smash somebodies skull in are the same type of morons who believe that following one set of men-in-frocks on how to pray to god opposed to another set is an equally valid excuse.

To be honest though, I think for the most part the violence that leaks out of Glasgow isn't about football, it's not even about religion. It's about men who have tiny cocks and superiority complexes trying to assert themselves as the Alpha Male.

Anyway, the reason for this blog is I heard recently that Celtic fans are trying to ban Rangers fans from singing the Hokey Cokey, that age old song we all remember from childhood. They say it's a corruption of the phrase Hocus Pocus which supposedly was a derogatory term for Catholic Mass. They claim it's a hate crime...and I'd imagine that would mean it would fall under the new Incitement to Commit Religious Hatred law.

From this day forward I'll be singing it every time I walk past a Catholic Church.
