sjc Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Your assuming the origins and meaning of the word, the context of use and it is fact it not used solely by Celtic fans .... Also I am Protestant and not Catholic .... By your own definition any insult thrown at Rangers fans is sectarian .. period. I am happy to stand corrected on the matter ... which is why I asked FB specific questions he has side stepped several times and given BS answers. When was the word *** introduced into football chants and or insults ... When was the graffiti daubed on the walls in NI ... I noticed you sidestepped the offensive 'neep' remark why? Is it not offensive? By GENERAL definition: Rangers = Protestant, Celtic = Catholic......whilst this isn't exclusive it is historically accepted that this is the identity of the two Clubs............the context of the use of the word h*ns has correlated with Rangers and therefore Protestants and likewise with the word t*m and Celtic and therefore Catholic. Personally I don't give a fcuk as I thankfully support neither team nor care for any Religion (whilst respecting the right of those that do so) An example of this (albeit in a racial not a sectarian way) is the N word which is factually the Latin word for black.........through the annuals of time the use of this word has taken on a derogatory and racist context and is no longer acceptable to be used in modern society. The Latin word for balck remain the N word however. I have never heard the term "neep" and am therefore unaware if it is offensive or not.......feel free to enlighten me as I won't be offended as that would suggest you (or any internet forum random for that matter) bared some importance in my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_blue Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Nah it is what is best for Friday lunch on the rigs in the North sea. Ken is going for Pasta which might appease the mankies as it is of course Italian but they will be up in arms if they don't have their Fish. The chefs are walking a sectarian tightrope here!! tensions are frayed , keep safe ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You entered the debate by making a statement (your statement indicates your stance) .. yet you want people to drop it and move on ... You don't need a question mark to invite a response ... the minute you air your view on the subject matter in a public forum it invites a response .. don't play dumb. (I am assuming you are and giving you the benefit of the doubt?) I think you have misread my "stance and/or position" on the whole subject matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 So... anyway. When do we find out the success or otherwise of the share issue? It closed at 11am. Previous timetable says shares are to be allocated tomorrow at 8am, so presumably they know today if they've flogged enough? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Ask you nicely? I have no need to ask you anything, the term is sectarian, it is not Rangers fans that have deemed it so. You can either accept this or continue to use it or excuse bigots that do. Well, I tried.

sjc Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 No idea how Tedi's post got in there ... was removing it before you posted. Not relevant at all really .. it's a simple enough question though? Curiousity as I have not come across anyone Scottish that is unaware as to what a 'neep' is ? as in turnip? I always thought it was neap as opposed to neep? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonedsailor Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I actually did apologise. You must have missed that but i am not going to keep on apologising for it I was actually joking in my post to you. Fair enough. BTW the H word is a shortened version of the term Britannia's ***, so KAH would refer to British Soldiers, not sectarian as the British army have been pretty diverse in it's membership criteria for a while now. I am embarrassed by my use of the term and wont be using it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The Sun are reporting that the Easdales have increased their stake by £500,000. So £3.5million to go, then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 as in turnip? I always thought it was neap as opposed to neep? That's a village in the Shetlands. What is? Turnip, Neep, or Neap?

stonedsailor Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 So what are they gearing up for ... Easdales are not chucking £500,000 without a clear game plan in place. Maybe, just maybe, they are in it for the long haul? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
