What that has to do with football I have no idea. It's been sung at football since the 80s, Now those that sing it have picked it up from old war stories.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 1 hour ago, IslandExile said: Yet this was left by our fans at Barnsley.... DUR !!!!!!!!!! Strange as a huge chunk of our support is historically catholic since the 50's and 60's, including a number of true hard cases who may have had those who stuck that up eat the breezeblocks. Shame they didn't encounter a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting some work experience in a Scottish iron foundry. I couldn’t believe, in what were then “modern times” that the Catholic / Protestant thing .. was a thing. Toolroom was Protestant. Light machine shop Catholic, melting shop Catholic. Heavy machine shop and fettling shop Protestant. First question I was asked … “are you a pape or a praddy” .. bizarre Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
