    Yeah the 90 min bigots narrative and casual sectarianism is somehow seen as acceptable by erse cheek fans that sing their songs.

    I don't think you can totally dismiss Scotland's religious intolerance when it has Orange Orders, they are as much anti Catholic as pro Protestant, and delight in taunting Catholics with their marches, the trying to burst their drum when passing a Catholic Church patter being a well known practice. 

    Fair point about the orange walks.

    A very bizarre and pathetic group of people. Baffling they are allowed to exist in 2024.

    Aye, it’s mental to us outwith that bubble.

    Aberdonian and at about 13/14 had to fill in a form at school with a space for ‘Religion’. Knew Church of Scotland was on my baptism certificate but had to ask my father what religion that actually was.  Not a scooby. 

    Mate moved to Glasgow and hadn’t even got their van emptied before ‘welcoming neighbour’ asked which church would they be going to. 

    Riles me right up that sectarianism is seen as a Scottish issue when whole swathes of the country are immune to it and couldn’t give a shiny shite.

    Controversial opinion, but I dont think genuine sectarianism is actually a problem in Scotland, its a Rangers-Celtic thing that crosses the line of acceptable rivalry but isnt actually anything to do with religion per se.

    Both sides of my family are Catholic. Mums side are mostly Rangers (most dont give a f**k about football tbf), dads side is Thistle. Never once had any anti-catholic or sectarian bile thrown my/their way. 

    The stuff both halves hit out with is unacceptable, no question. But ive never believed its routed in genuine sectarianism or religious intolerance, just anti Celtic/Rangers sentiment using religion as a medium.

    Maybe just my experience though.

    Weird that there’s no Morton players in there. Must be a mistake surely? 

    I think youre forgetting theyve had a remarkable season by their standards.

    They nearly challenged for challenging for the promotion playoffs

    They nearly achieved safety before the last few games

    They nearly had a good cup run

    They had a manager who looked decent for about a quarter

    And now they nearly, maybe had players possibly in contention for TOTY.

    All in, get the DVDs at the ready.

    He's a fucking horrible c**t that Martinez. 

    Wary of going full TalkSport here, but why is it always South Americans that act like this?

    I fucking love him.

    A piss boiler of a goalkeeper that can back it up is class.

    Jordan Pickford tries to do similar stuff but he's shite playing for relegation fodder so just looks like a p***k doing it.
