Drew Brees Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I totally agree with that, the bigoted part especially. In my experience most people who don’t give a shit about it just ignore it and get on with their lives. The ones that are most offended by it are usually the most bigoted ones from the opposite side. I had an argue ment recently on fb with a flute playing, marching, bigoted ex neighbour of mine who took great offence to a song some Celtic fans had sang. No one else seemed to care apart from the bigot, so I can relate to the point made by booker. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By most people do you mean cowards who enjoy supporting a big team and unwilling to acknowledge the fact there's a horrible element to both sets of supporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverWolfe Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Bollocks. I don't belong to "the other side" by any measure. Yet I find that kind of crap thoroughly offensive. Why do you find it offensive? I'm genuinely interested in understanding your thoughts on it. When you say bigotry, are you meaning actual bigoted OF fans who despise Catholics/ Protestants or are you just referring to fans signing Irish or English songs (which more than often are not actually bigoted songs). I had never thought about it before Booker made his comment above but thinking about it now I think there is truth in what he says. The people that are most offended by it do tend to be bigot minded in themselves, hence why they take such offense. At least that's my experience from folk that I know. Personally I have never once been offended by anything Rangers fans have sung or said, simply because I don't care about Ireland and England and their troubles. I am a Catholic but if someone hates me for being a Catholic I couldn't care less tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
