Sorry mate but it's a nonsense to equate a bunch of dicks up in the stands at Parkhead shouting about the 'ra and Palestine and something like the Orange Order.

Bairnardo Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Not sure if you watched it, but that Patrick Kielty did a programme about the troubles a few months back. At the end he went to a school and spoke about it, the kids didn't seem to give a f**k what religion their mates were, didn't bother them whatsoever. It's a shame that in 2019 in Scotland, we are still miles off anything like that. Its because the coat tail riding losers who have little clue about the severity or meaning of what was going on, but still use it to define their lives and to show how good a football fan they are will always be the last ones to let go. Its like these coming of age films where one of the folk in it still wants everything to be like it was. The folk in Ireland that have moved on are to be applauded for identifying that the things which divided them were maybe less important than pursuing a happy peaceful existence. Meanwhile, fat orcs in Scotland who dont even go to church/chapel never read the memo. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really powerful moment in the Patrick kielty documentary that londonHMFC posted where he talked about the people who killed his dad being released but him saying if that’s what it takes for peace then so be it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare that type of scenario to the behaviour of football fans in this country and it hits home that what we have here is massive, cringeworthy cultural appropriation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The people who eulogise and glorify Irish terrorism in this country are tourists. They like the frisson of danger, the thrill of breaching societal norms, the community of singing the party sings with their mates but all without the bodies in the street from it. Moral midgets. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't, the Green Brigade might be a bunch of dicks in a stand but their ramblings , statements and banners are a stark reminder of the mindset of the vast majority of the Celtic support . I actually wonder what all these morons would do with their lives if Scotland got independence. The union broke up and then Ireland united and all their shite became meaningless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowrising Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Mr Pikey... If Rangers disappeared would the OO disappear? No chance. You are linking a football group with a group with religious and political links that go back decades and was rampant in Scotland with a deliberate anti Irish/Catholic stance that could decide if you had a job or not. The green brigade are a joke in that respect. Edited August 31, 2019 by rainbowrising 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OO used Ibrox, over a generation ago, for an annual church parade but they used other football grounds, too. That's the only tenuous connection I can think of. Can you add to that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
