A reoccurring issue


Recommended Posts

We have:

a. one individual (presumably) daubing a wall with offensive comments on a 45-year old accident and

b. a significant number of your fellow Rangers fans week in, week out, glorying in the deaths of a few thousand Catholics in some obscure seventeenth century battle.

Do you condemn both?

What ? How is that even comparable

Songs about battles which took place hundreds of years or numerous mocking of a disaster where many relatives of the deceased are still alive , one even graffitied next to the area where the disaster took place . are you genuinely trying to compare the two here ?

Also it's not as if scottish folk music does not consist of ballads about slaughtering the English in ancient battlefields , are you equally as disgusted with those songs ?

I was asking bennett - I'm not sure I care about your opinion.

 

Assuming I did, when would you say was 'too soon'?

I shall resort with diddy classic -"you don't sound like you understand how an open forum works"

When is not too soon in your opinion , your point was rediculous and you are probably best just staying down in the first division forum where you belong

I've gotta say, much as I detest and resent the sectarian singing and recognise the danger it poses; I don't see it as at all comparable to this kind of nasty, genuinely hurtful stuff.

I don't see where drawing parallels between them helps anyone.

This thread and the Old firm are a fucking disaster.

 

Just admit both clubs attract the absolute pond life of Scottish society and move on.

 

It is not representative of the entirety of the support of either club but it is significant in comparison to other clubs.

 

The sooner some reconcile themselves with that the better.

Aye because we should judge Scottish society on P&B

It is a small window and not an attractive one.  Certainly not a representative one.  Still, good for you to admit that P&B is out of kilter with Scottish football. Few posters have such cajones.

Let's be honest it was more than likely Celtic fans, but there is scum on both sides I've seen/heard of Celtic fans sing/talk about Ricksen and The 66, as well as Rangers fans sing about Tommy Burns etc.

 

Anyone who mocks the dead are scum and shouldn't be tolerated by anyone.

 

Especially c***s like this guy - https://twitter.com/hatesthequeen/status/677982955042709505

Ok then. How about using child abuse as a stick to whack Celtic supporters with? It happens regularly doesn't it? Comparable in the sense that's it's sick too.

Is "how about?" a variation on "what about"?

Grow up you daft twat and just recognise spiteful, ignorant shite for what it is, whoever's responsible.

Disgraceful

Obviously these utter fucking trumpets think they are being funny and smart




These idiots deserve to be criticised but your point scoring exercise is stupid. During the same disaster, Jock Stein helped the injured & dying Rangers fans & look at the gratitude & respect your fans show him.

Respect is a two way street.

Good post. No idea what was to be gained by the OP.
