Why is Scottish society so hostile towards people who celebrate Irish Heritage…. Why most importantly who do they need to justify the reasons behind it? Asian Scots for example certainly don’t come under this type of scrutiny when celebrating heritage But Irish? It causes meltdowns for a large number of people. At one point was their an anti Irish sentiment in Scotland towards immigrants . Yes . That is historical fact in modern day Scotland I don't think there is any widespread hostility to Ireland as a country or its people There is certainly a bit of hostility towards the Celtic supports versions of Irishness they display. For many people outwith the Celtic support or who don’t have a clue about football or care about football they will forever intertwine Celtic’s portrayal of their Irish identity to that of militant republicanism , the troubles and support for paramilitary groups and folk are within their right to feel uncomfortable with that And before you start I’m not under any illusions that we are the opposite end of the coin in the regards with the loyalist side of things.

They gave me an honest and transparent version of their day and description of some of the antics they witnessed from bams which these things attract Much easier people to deal with than the holier than thou Celtic contingent we are blessed with here on pie and bovril who have never stepped a foot or even so much as witnessed anyone stepping a foot wrong supporting Glasgow Celtic ETA : my pals went out got pished , probably sang and danced and went up the road . Please note I don’t hold them personally responsible for the behaviour of the bams You really need to wind your neck in a little. No one for a second is suggesting Celtic fans are angels or were angels on Saturday night, there were arrests after all. However people trying to paint it as a scene similar to what we witnessed last year in George Sq, and i include you in this, are grossly misrepresenting the reality of what was really going on which was a support celebrating and being a bit boisterous which was to be expected and obvious to anyone with eyes that aren’t painted on. Yes there was some mess left behind however there was no significant damage to any properties, individuals or emergency services and whilst that isn’t a reason to commend them as i assume to locals it’s still a significant nuisance it doesn’t put them in the same bracket as the fuckwits who brought shame on Rangers last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckets Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Just now, kingjoey said: Do Scotland play under the name Great Britain at football? Of course you can get into the fine details on Scotland and the UK's international status but I think the point is still there. In Scotland people find it strange or offensive to see people identify with another country where they don't live. I'm just saying can you not see the similarities with the large percentage of Scots who don't identify with the country they live in (UK) and don't sing GSTQ or wave a union jack? I wouldn't ever critisise a Scottish person who doesn't sing God save the Queen or wave a union jack because they have their own valid reasons. Same with Liverpudlians and the same with Celtic fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
