pozbaird Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 The papal visit in 1982 seems to be a thing with them. Seemingly life in Scotland has been flushed down the U Bend since that fateful day. I’m not Catholic, but to me, it was a day for Catholics to go to and enjoy, should it be their thing. I’m struggling to see why my life has been fcuked pretty much since that day. Nope, it hasn’t, because I’m a sane, balanced individual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting at Ibrox, looking at the abject scum that surrounds you and thinking 'Aye, this is the place for me'. Every Rangers fan is a wrong'un. And 99% of them are gloryhunters who ignore their local SPFL club and support Rangers because it makes them feel better about their own shite lives when they win 80% plus of their domestic games. Imagine basing your whole personality, your whole mood, whether you're delighted or raging, on how your football team did at the weekend. When The Caley lose, which is a lot at the moment as we're fucking dogshit, I'm annoyed for about 6 minutes then I forget about it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I believe a lot of Celtic fans are still fizzing about the Lutheran Princes letter of protestation in 1529. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some boi, the Pope. Probably responsible for St Mirren’s three losing early 80s Scottish Cup semi finals. Took us until 1987 to recover from his 1982 visit before finally winning the thing. Maybe those Ranjurs types are onto something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just don’t get it. When they were on “the journey” every lower league club was exposed to the bile & vitriol. The anti-catholic songs & sentiments aren’t just saved for (perceived) catholic clubs, no! We all had to endure that pish, I remember at the time, excuses being made that the away support tended to be more militant than the home support. Bullshit! If either club wanted to, they’d be rid of the wanks in the crowd immediately, the fact is, they need them, it’s sickening & a blight on our game. Delving into the club dedicated sites is just going to make you feel awful about Scottish Society. Both equally guilty IMO. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure I know a couple of decent The Rangers fans. Hold on, I’m thinking who I know. In a meaningful way, not just someone I once played a round of golf with or something. Two Celtic fans. One Partick fan. One Dundee fan. Multiple St Mirren fans. Two Ayr Utd fans. Four The Rangers fans. Nope - kunts the four of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
