1320Lichtie Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Because the Union Flags at Ibrox do, is what he means I think? Why one, not the other? Because I have no problem with Ireland or indeed any other country on the planet. I'm extremely unhappy that Scotland are in the Union though. Like I said it's not that big a deal, but the union jacks and gstq stuff (never mind the booing of FoS) really gets on my nerves at times. Surprised I have to explain that to be honest, thought it would've been pretty straightforward going by what I've posted on here for years.

stu2910 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I hate what both sides of the OF stand for but even though we are in the UK (unfortunately) and not Ireland, it's the Union flags that annoy me.The Irish flags are flown as a celebration of the heritage of the club and even though they should be embracing being a Scottish league club, that doesn't bother me. The Union flags are being flown by people purely to assert that they are anti-Irish and that is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 A question for Tartantony. What is the reaction from the rest of the Celtic fans when you are against joining the English Premier league in favour of playing the current Scottish Premiership?

I don't think Dens has a monopoly on flag waving idiots to be honest, but if Celtic want to fly the tricolour as a celebration of their Irishness, Rangers are perfectly entitled to celebrate their Britishness. The fact is football clubs have no need to fly any nation's flags including Scotland's, if they want to wave flags, wave the club flag or the town they represent's flag but I don't get taking offence at one countries flag but not the other, if you see what I mean.

1320Lichtie Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 You seem a nice lad Lichtie, but I'm not buying a word of that. Why????? Without wanting to derail this thread into a load of politics guff it's completely true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get that, it's just that everyone knows they aren't doing it simply because they like being British.Anyway, think we are slightly off topic here...

RedRob72 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Never ceases to amaze me, the number of punters on here, who slate the OF. The "Scottish Football doesn't need the OF, our game would be so much better without them" brigade...but spend an inordinate amount of time posting about them! It doesn't make sense.

I can't believe people are niave/gullable/thick enough to believe the bigots fly the Union and Irish flags for anything other than sectarian reasons. Any cover story is just that.

Who's fault is that? If you wait long enough the Celtic and Rangers or more accurately their sycophantic media mouth pieces are wanting them to ditch the Scottish Leagues for the English Leagues nonsense will kick off again soon enough. And its an open forum for supporters of all Scottish clubs, would you expect them not to slate both OF clubs? If you don't like it then there are plenty of Rangers minded forums around where you can go and avoid the hurtful comments from supporters from other clubs.
