here is a link to the offending banner<\/a>. Make sure you haven’t eaten before viewing.<\/p>\nSo, what we have is a bunch of over-senstive hyacinths getting worked up because their club is dead (fact) and the replacement is being mocked as nothing more than an undead doppelganger (fact).<\/p>\n
Of course, the knee-jerkers over Govan way are saying the banner is offensive because it depicts them as apes before being shot and that the sniper is an over allusion to the IRA. If these self same purveyors of putridness had spent as much time analysing this pictorial allegory as they should have in respect to the shenanigans at their own old club then the banner needn’t ever existed.<\/p>\n

Quite what George A. Romero would make of all of this fuss remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
