But actually we do – or at least, most of us do know the widely accepted explanation. Paper Roses was adopted by a group of supporters travelling on a bus to an away game at a time when violence and bad behaviour was beginning to dog Scottish football. Some fans decided they wanted no part in the ratcheting up of rivalries and wanted to make a statement to that effect. What they could not decide on was how. Then, Marie Osmond came on the radio singing Paper Roses and the fans decided that was it. Here was a harmless, guileless song with a rather twee tune. It was perfect. So every time, vitriol and hatred were chanted in their direction in an attempt to force a response, the reply came by way of a chorus or two of Paper Roses. It took the sting out of things and made those who sought violence look rather stupid. Killie fans in the vanguard of designing innovative approaches to reducing violence in our society – who’d a thunk it? And the song stuck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the background information and I support this, as i would expect all our fans to support this song. It also highlights over the many years the associated and underlying problems have never gone away and often pushed under the carpet. I am sure there will be a small minority of Sevco fans who felt guilt for their actions when SC spoke out. The rest probably and won't care but in time things change for a reason. I am sure Neil Lennon received worse and the media use it for pantomine but this time it is for real as words from SC struck a chord which also hit the English media and the reaction for most decent everyday folk in the Uk must be why is this allowed to happen. The reaction only defended now by Sevco, Scottish media, and SFA to protect the money injection and the shambles of our so called governing body. Paper Roses will also remind everyone of why we are kilmarnock supporters just as much as WE ARE KILLIE!

Wrangodog Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 There's actually a fair bit in most of the papers today about sectarianism. It would be amazing if Steve Clarke was the catalyst for real change in Scotland. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomboom2 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Someone should start a #metoostevie twitter campaign. Would be interesting to see the support from other clubs fans across Scotland. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkG Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 “Steve Clarke turned down Sevco” to the tune of “Let’s all laugh at Sevco”. God it must stick in their craw that he said no. And not just no, abso-f**king-lutely no chance in a million f**king years you bigoted scum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Would be good to see the entire team more vocal in backing Steve Clarke - t shirt message if they score "we are all Steve Clarke" or when our next goal goes in the whole team heads for bench to celebrate with him. He has stood up for them e.g. Jones, think it is time for them as a collective to show their public support for him and how strong a 'team's they are. Granted we do need to actually score not hit the woodwork! YNTTK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
