Alan_G Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 10 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: I've lived in Dundee since September 2014. There has been one orange march here since. I know because it went down the street I live on. There were about 15 'marchers' and over double the amount of police. It was incredibly tragic and the 'marchers' were fucking choking for attention. All utter scum who got little attention. The entire organisation is riddled with pieces of shit who are all horrendous bigots. Could say worse I only ever witnessed one here, it was about a dozen folk huddled ready to start at around 8am on a Sunday morning outnumbered by the polis. Checking council site looks like 11 in 17 years, which is still shamefully high. One of the applicants looks to change its name every year and their only web presence is a social media account where the second image is of a proscribed organisation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are utter filth, absolutely sub human bags of pish. They are stunningly pathetic p***ks. I despise them yet almost pity them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was some mad parade but then I looked out the window and saw it was a small gang of utter losers. Wish I had eggs to chuck at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was raised Protestant and went to a Catholic school and no one cared in the slightest - I’ve since rebelled against both in equal measure. I can’t think of a single occasion though where I saw any kind of animosity between the 2 except when certain football teams are in town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdonian and at about 13/14 had to fill in a form at school with a space for ‘Religion’.

Mate moved to Glasgow and hadn’t even got their van emptied before ‘welcoming neighbour’ asked which church would they be going to. Riles me right up that sectarianism is seen as a Scottish issue when whole swathes of the country are immune to it and couldn’t give a shiny shite. Controversial opinion, but I dont think genuine sectarianism is actually a problem in Scotland, its a Rangers-Celtic thing that crosses the line of acceptable rivalry but isnt actually anything to do with religion per se. Both sides of my family are Catholic. Mums side are mostly Rangers (most dont give a f**k about football tbf), dads side is Thistle. Never once had any anti-catholic or sectarian bile thrown my/their way. The stuff both halves hit out with is unacceptable, no question. But ive never believed its routed in genuine sectarianism or religious intolerance, just anti Celtic/Rangers sentiment using religion as a medium. Maybe just my experience though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many moons ago, Freelands bar was the work hostelry of choice. The regulars were 90% Dons fans. Anyway, a stranger from Glasgow shows up. He appeared quite normal and rational, until the talk went to football , He started to demand the religion of Aberdeen players. He couldn't understand that no one knew, or cared. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the 90 min bigots narrative and casual sectarianism is somehow seen as acceptable by erse cheek fans that sing their songs. I don't think you can totally dismiss Scotland's religious intolerance when it has Orange Orders, they are as much anti Catholic as pro Protestant, and delight in taunting Catholics with their marches, the trying to burst their drum when passing a Catholic Church patter being a well known practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world might be a better place without religion too, but then again the human race would prob just find some other thing to fight about. Decades ago when i was a boy, you had folk wanting to kick your head in just for coming from another town a few miles away from your own, went to Bathgate swimming pool with my big brother and his pal and we got jumped on our way to the bus station for coming from Whitburn. Was also up in Fauldhouse playing golf and was accosted by a gang asking me if i was from Fauldhouse, course i said yes, and they followed me all the way to my Granny's house in Barton Terrace, even if i wasn't lucky enough to have a Granny staying there i'd have been walking into a strangers house to avoid a kicking.
