I've never heard anyone say it that way and I've genuinely never heard of this as rhyming slang. I always understood it as a reference to Celtic fans wearing their tops everywhere and never taking them off to wash them. Think this can be added to the long list of nonsense made up about Rangers fans, which stars such hits as "WATP is actually about white supremacy", "Penny Arcade is only sung because it was used at fundraisers for the UVF" and "The Hokey Cokey is actually anti-Catholic" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know which of the embarrassing versions of the phrase came first, nor does it really matter. Also not sure why you think it doesnt work as rhyming slang? It clearly does. There is absolutely no need to make up anything to discredit either cheek. Twinkle seemed to be on the same track as myself, maybe he has heard it more often, but you can rest assured that I didnt make it up, and that my opinion follows that giving it the Green and Grey patter is just yet another of the ways certain people like to be a bit more sneaky with their bigotry. Of course, you are welcome to think otherwise but since I have never met a Rangers fan who didn't have something to say about religion, I will assume that my opinion on this is right. It doesn’t. “grey and” before “green yins” is a pointless add on. 8 minutes ago, gannonball said: Well this is awkward Except it isn’t as it’s not bigoted rhyming slang.

G51 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Some seriously deranged stuff here. Hope none of the people who are working themselves up about the imaginary sectarian connotations of "green and grey jerseys" don't use the term "h*n", a term which is actually sectarian!! That would be unfortunate!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) I can honestly hold my hands up and say in all the years I’ve been a season ticket supporter at Ibrox I have never heard anyone use the term “Grey and Green yin’s”. Of course, I have heard many more clear and direct examples of sectarianism, but, never this one. Edited October 13, 2020 by AJF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I have heard many more clear and direct examples of sectarianism, but, never this one. I’ve heard “green yins” used as rhyming slang numerous times, and far worse too of course. On here though, it really doesn’t do the thread any good when someone “neutral” incorrectly makes out something is sectarian when it really isn’t. It’s poor judgement and gutter material whether intended or not, which fwiw I don’t think it was. Most of all though - It’s really fucking boring. I’d far rather that when the thread inevitably goes off topic it’s because of Bennett’s bedsit or because Romeo is genuinely the stupidest poster on this forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you should know is that Bairnardo has previous for manufacturing offense. Two winters back, during the big freeze, I called us 'The Best from the West' in a match thread title and he went tonto for a full fortnight, chasing me around the board and screaming that I was a bigot who revels in child abuse or some such nonsense. Then last week I referred to the husband and wife team who reign over Scotland by their married name, calling them, 'the Murrell Regime'. Innocuous enough? To normal people, yes, but to a demented obsessive it is, apparently, misogynistic which he used in one of his pathetic diatribes. The guy is a 24 carat gold crank.

Sortmeout Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Ibrox is some size of place with each wee section having their minority songbook. 8Mile has heard “green yins” numerous times whereas other season ticket holders have never heard the phrase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
