Rc Church Wants "hokey-cokey" Banning From Football Matches

(Times Online--Hokey Cokey is 'faith hate crime'). Peter Kearney, a spokesman for Cardinal Keith O'Brien, leader of the Catholic church in Scotland, said: "This song although apparently innocuous, was devised as an attack on and a parody of the Catholic mass."

According to the church, the song's title derives from "hocus pocus". The phrase is said to be a Puritan satire on the Latin "hoc est enim corpus meum", or "this is my body", used by Catholic priests to accompany the transubstantiation during mass.

Apparently this sensitivity is fairly new as there is no record of them previously being offended by fair minded non-sectarian Celtic fans singing pro IRA songs.

In a joint statement "Bhoys can't be bigots" sympathiser G. Adams and media stereotype Rangers supporter Andy McBigot said "It's always them shitstirring b*st**ds, they have a hidden agenda", before police intervened.

I'm closing this now. Religion should stay out of football. And I'm protestant and a Rangers fan.
