No matter what reasoning or understanding, calling anoyone a black b****** these days, no matter the local meanings, is not acceptable Another do-gooder with nought better to do, away and add value to something in yer life instead of picking minute faults with insignificant football chants which are really sport with opposing fans.

I noticed at Easter Rd on Saturday there were a lot around us that weren't singing it also which I took as it's not universally popular amongst the Killie support. I live/work in Aberdeen and it's shooty-in for Dons fans (and everybody else outside Sevco). "Are you Rangers in disguise?" etc Fvk OFF !!! I was black-affrontit when the Huns jined in at TTOP wae Killie/Billy Boys the other week. Black is a legitimate word. "Black Bastards" is NOT GOOD. So, the evidence so far M'Lud, is Killie leave themselves open to accusations of bigotry and racism every time Killie fans sing this keech. Guilty as charged. Not Good. "After the war, in parts of the southern United States, and particularly in Georgia, the song came to symbolize the devastation and political domination the Union wrought upon the Confederacy and southern U.S. states during the war." Nice. So, just tae add tae the bigotry and sectarianism throw in Unionist triumphalism (did ye see what I did there?) based on killing people, burning their homes and devastating an economy which has never recovered. What's not to like ? . May I respectfully suggest that our Supporters Trust or similar take a vote (somehow) from every Killie fan on banning the embarrassing bigoted, sectarian , triumphalist party song from TTOP, as a start point ?. More absolute utter bunkum. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 1 hour ago, Bullitt said: Yes, yes it is a coincidence. It's the west coast of Scotland. When I walk down Buchanan Street I could count in one hand the number or people who are not white. I wouldnt agree with that but Killie aren't alone in failing to attract many fans from ethnic minority groups. Still, they did get an Australian at the weekend so that's a start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real question though is how many singers/non singers where actual supporters As has been mentioned on another thread how many of each group had on a wee pin badge/strip/full kit to make sure everyone knows they are true Killie folk or if they were just pretending? Without this information I don't think we can proceed with the arguement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamsie Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Somebody shouted "hawl Marvin" at me as I walked into the city centre from Firhill so I started a "should the name Marvin be banned in Maryhill?" poll on Pie and Bovril. Maryhill is now a Marvin-free zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalSpin Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I must admit I don't sing the Hello, Hello song because I think it is a Rangers song (puts on tin hat). I know we have sung it for years and the words are different, and you can state all the historical sources for the song all you want, but it is most certainly associated specifically with Rangers. Others can sing it if they want, that's up to them, people should make their own mind up rather than forcing 'political correctness' on others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally sung in honour of Billy Fullarton, protestant gang leader and founding member of the Glasgow branch of the British Union of Fascists in WW2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, as a Kilmarnock supporter, know that it's not a Rangers song and that we aren't singing anything to do with the Billy Boys so the history of what they sing isn't even nearly relevant. I've never really given much thought to their version but I always just assumed it was a reference to King Billy.
