forever_blue Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You just given up trying to defend them now? What has political viewpoint got to do with it, or are you implying the OO and it's members are right wing? You never did answer my question if you're a member of not member? Am the grandmaster mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanderlei Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Only seen the orange walk once in my life, didn't bother me one iota. I just turned around and walked jogged the other way. Edited July 9, 2014 by Vanderlei 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_blue Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 the sight of rangers tops at these walks is nauseating and cringe worthy and i have yet to see any other football club shirt represented, yes represented at these marches, because it gives the false impression that this represents all rangers fans. if you were to see an edinburgh area orange walk you would see hearts tops on display , and their is even a flute band called heart of midlothian fb and also they might not like to admit but there is percentage of motherwell fans who are in the orange lodge and various flute bands and motherwell tops are seen on display at parades in lanarkshire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are bigots who happen to support Motherwell and others. I know of one person who used to follow Thistle and was a member of the OO. But there are 1000's who follow Rangers BECAUSE they are bigots. Do you see the difference? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Skinner Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 One of these walks went past my house a couple of weeks ago. I contemplated opening my window and shaking my fist at them, but I didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of bigots in Scotland who are not Orangemen. The word bigot means holding a viewpoint to an unreasonable extent and that isn't something that is confined to members of the loyal orders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Newsreader: Police in Belfast say the annual orange walks in Belfast went by without any major violence, 8 arrests were made and there was 3 stabbings. EH WIT? The eight arrest were from crowds of 80,000 all over the country - a fairly negligible return from crowds that size. I'd have a healthy wager that T in the Park had much worse returns? Sadly, if you read the BBC NI news, as I do regularly, stabbings are as common back home as they are in Glasgow. Not defending the OO or the parades, just the consistent assault on one side of the Ni by some, (they know who they are), and I don't mean you when I say that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the 3 stabbings were related to the parades, either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
