The P&B Bears are the easiest-going, most accommodating posters on the board (well, apart from me, as I can be a thrawn c**t) who are open-minded to teams beating us and willing to give praise where it's due. Absolutely none of us are 'vile bigots'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans follow follow with great alacrity and in large numbers. The only folk who object to this hate football. Oh my! If you think your fans were 'magnificent' for singing sectarian songs, you obviously don't condone sectarianism. As I said, each to their own.

Absolutely none of us are 'vile bigots'. I've not once called any poster on here a vile bigot and I realise that not all Rangers fans are vile bigots but it's undeniable there were bigoted songs being sung at the game. If Accies went to Ibrox and won 2-1 but sang all the way through about the Ibrox disaster would it be ok to just not talk about it as it's clearly jealousy? If we gubbed you tonight (aye haha) I'd still have been disgusted by the behaviour of your fans and mentioned it. It will never change and it's the same with the other arsecheek doesn't mean that we have to put up with it and ignore it. Always the same with Rangers and Celtic, any criticism and you close ranks.

accies1874 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Kinky's one of the good Rangers supporters as well What does that say about the rest of them (excluding Knightswood Bear, 54 and counting and Calum_Gers)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've drank with Knightswood a couple of times and a nicer man you could not meet. I also know a lot of Rangers fans that aren't bigoted c***s. Doesn't mean their fans as a whole are not open to criticism. We all heard it tonight and although it will never change, it can't just be accepted as the norm.

Add Bennett, Tedi, Rab, Dorlomin and Boab in to the mix. There are maybe a dozen Rangers fans who post regularly on here. None of them are 'vile bigots'.

Obviously there are Accies fans who are as well, but the OF fans who slag our home support (with Burnbank Loyal flags and we're kicking about Hamilton tonight) are just fucking reprobates.

To reply to both of your posts:1) It annoys me because they slag us for a shite home support, but they're the ones that make it shite - an inferiority complex that makes them just have to go with whatever their pals/family say. I was the only Accies fan in my 6 years of school, and I converted my dad. It doesn't take much!2) Fucking auto-correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been a 'special interest group' who supported Accies. I mentioned that I worked in Burnbank/Whistleberry Road when I left school in 1977 and I can't recall a single Accies fan. Obviously a few of 'us' and a fair number of 'them'....also, too. a few Motherwell fans. Absolutely none who followed your team, though. I'll edit this. I'm from Lanarkshire and I'd follow follow Airdrie then Motherwell if forced to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their most local team, but they'd rather pretend they support another team by watching their scores come in on a TV screen. When I lived abroad, I had that with Everton, but that was only because my dad had just stopped going all over England with them. Some "fans" spend their whole lives watching their team on the TV. I just can't comprehend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what league we're in or how well we're doing. I've followed Accies in every league but the numbers don't change that much and are always low.

I left Dalziel in Motherwell in 1977 and worked for Ireland Alloys in Whisteberry Road for 4 years and we'd go for a pint in Burnbank on a Thursday when we got our pay packet...in the days you got paid in notes and coins I also did day release in Bell College for 4 years.

I went, and I'm still going, everywhere in Scotland supporting Accies, but the day will come that I won't be able to go as often as I am now. Since I began going far away without my dad, I've spent a ridiculous amount on the team. However, I've had memories alongside my best pals that I'd never have with any other team. That's why we still do it. I can honestly say that no OF fan could understand the days we've had in my time supporting Accies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
