Bill Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 If Airdrie fans are expecting a load of hipsters to turn up from bohs according to victor they are gonna be seriously disappointed! The fans that will make the trip are anything but! I’d expect a couple of hundred to make the trip along with a good few from Glasgow’s good team! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StopAllTheBollocks Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 We Airdrie fans do not do sectarianism very well. I went to St Margarets and I can assure anyone veiwing this page there are a lot of us who did not toe the party line as we are Airdrie! Any time we play Celtic, or a Celtic minded team, I'm embarrassed that my fellow fans turn into a toxic parody of Rangers. Stop All The Sectarian Bollocks! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to rock up to St Margarets for my Sixth Year Physics and got a lot of "Rangers lost at the weekend, haha!" pish for the crime of wearing the uniform of one of the other schools in the town. It was water off my back since I couldn't give two f's about the Rangers score and I was used to seeing my team lose anyway (being an Airdrie fan is character building). Never had any real bother there though, possibly because I was reasonably well acquainted with a couple of the school hard men through mutual friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Jesus this page has been fucking awful. I was looking forward to a bit of interest and something different, similar to last years game against Sutton, but I'm dreading it now. and that article thingy about the Boh's fans is incredibly try hard. This cup is a weird one for me. I'm against anyone other than Scottish senior teams being involved, and if given a vote would vote to go back to how it used to be, but at the same time when we draw a "foreign" club it is quite interesting on a game by game basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I was always astounded that John Reid was MP for Airdrie & Shotts. I'm no expert on Airdrie, but I know a couple of very staunch Rangers fans from the town. Most Airdrie fans are of that persuasion. Like almost everywhere else in that part of Scotland, there is a significant Catholic minority and plenty of Catholic churches, but it's a Rangers town. I don't know whether to take this seriously. It seems to imply that as John Reid was a Roman Catholic ( and former member of the Communist Party?)that he was unusual in being MP for this constituency. You don't seem to have noticed that Helen Liddell , of similar background, was also the MP for much of the area. Indeed since 1959 James Dempsey was MP for Coatbridge and Airdrie for an even longer period. Even the thankfully departed Pamela Nash had that background! She is of course now a staunch Unionist. It may well be true that there is a "significant" RC minority but in 2019 it is just as likely that other religious groups are now minorities. The biggest minority would be more likely to be abstainers from organised church going. As to being a "Rangers town" I suspect now the EPL has as many followers. You certainly are no expert. maybe it was just a wind up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They generally don't stretch to paying €5 for a beer at the ground, buying cans at Tesco & sneaking them in if they need a drink to get through a game, so splashing out on a trip to Scotland won't appeal. I doubt the lairy hangers-on will travel either, so Section B can save their Sunday best for another day. I've not been to a Bohs game for two years, so I'm not up to speed on things. They pull 2,000+ every game now, so maybe a good few will be up for the trip. I'd still guess at 100 rather than 200, but 200's not impossible if a few keen fans can generate some enthusiasm.

You certainly are no expert. maybe it was just a wind up. John Reid is/was about as Catholic as Baruch Goldstein was a Mohammedan. It's more his positions as Defence Secretary, Norn Iron Secretary & Home Secretary, his acceptance of backhanders from the likes of Radovan Karadzic, his role as the public, snarling face of those ***** G4S, etc. that made him an odd choice for a sound town. (His inability to handle his alcohol and his fondness for a square go were less unacceptable.) As with everywhere else these days - rural Ireland included - abstainers from religious services are an overwhelming majority. I'm sure there are other "religious" minorities in Airdrie these days, one of which will attend religious services in impressive numbers. Where's Baruch Goldstein when you need him?

Old Diamond Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Think there may be some blurring of geography in this discussion, from my experience Airdrie as a town is fairly religiously neutral but that cannot be said for some of the villages to the east of the town 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Reed Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 In local paper ,Airdrie have opted out of race for Hearts striker Rory Currie who has played 13 first games for Hearts,21year old maybe a bit to old for us, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the fact that he probably didn't give his constituency his full attention while he was busy being Chairman of Celtic. He was parachuted in to Airdrie as it was a safe seat for Labour at the time (that is no longer the case) and his Motherwell constituency was disappearing due to boundary changes. The numptie who replaced him was a worse embarrassment. In his defence, he stood up to the Scottish Labour Party (McConnell and Kerr), who were in government at the time, as they tried to railroad through the closure of the A&E dept at Monklnds. If it wasn't for him and the subsequent shift to an SNP administration at the next election, Monklands A&E would have gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the team will lose on Saturday just to cheer you up and give you something celebrate?
