Glenconner Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Scottish Orange walks are a side show compared to a band parade i came across in Larne years back. My understanding up till then meant a couple or three or four flute bands. No big deal. Might even brighten the Wee 6 version of Airdrie on Sea. Pick a corner spot and watch the bands go by. Did wonder at the numbers that turned up to watch that Friday night, try a hundred and multiple it by 50. Bit much for a couple of marching bands says me. I'll not exaggerate it if i said 70/80/90 bands where there. It started at 7 pm and they were still banging drums at 11.30 pm. This wasn't a wee Friday night practice parade, this was, we run this town and don't effin forget it. I knew then why local football doesn't get a serious crowd, everybody gets a bigger buzz out of walking the walk in Hicksville Norn Iron style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Taken from 'Skagboys', this sums things up rather well: "Upset my hairy ersehole. It's this shite that upsets me. The proddies and the papes; the lowlife rump ay losers, distilled far the dregs ay European Christendom's two most blood-simple white tribes. Sneering, rabid vermin who intuitively know they're at the bottom ay the trash pile at the scabbiest end ay a bunch of frozen rocks in the North Sea. Aw they can dae is think ay whae tae scapegoat for thair shabby plight, and when the monster that was ma brother came along, it was a (Christian) God-sent opportunity fir them. The fact escaped them that Wee Davie was probably the nadir that only those sectarian spastics could ever have produced, because whatever pigeon-shit colours they drape aroond their slopin shoodirs, or the crappy one-note ballads of loyalty or rebellion they sing, they're aw cut fae the same manky cloth ay noxious idiocy."

mrcat1990 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I had to hit Mono for a pint while on route to the barras as the big march was going through trongate and wasn't allowed to pass. I don't believe in banning the marches but feel they get far far too much protection. If a counter march arrived they'd be shifted off rapid. I should be allowed should I wish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Went to the Stirling - Motherwell friendly and stopped off in Glasgow for an hour or so on the way. Roaster level was through the roof. It'd be funny if I wasn't squirming like f**k looking at raddled, gleakit looking, monobrowed tragi-peasants in Union Jack suits 'complimented' with orange 'No Surrender' baseball caps.
