Just saw that! 😂 Proof positive that he's just shite.

It was called the Pondy because its original name was The Ponderosa. I never drank regularly anywhere in Linwood bar the Tavern and even that was only over 1 Winter when they ran a special on Becks and had a fruit machine I knew how to empty. 😂 Enjoyed a few Amateur Boxing nights in the St Brendans Club. Always a cracking atmosphere.

It was a great result last night, especially considering before the equaliser it could have been 2-0 and the Lazio defence had looked very solid. Edouard looked like he was just having a totally luckless night. He played well but nothing went his way.

Jees, you cannae even take a compliment! You really are a miserable bugger.

Cracking night tonight for the coefficient but still annoyed that we didn't beat Young Boys and that we had a great chance to win tonight too and didn't take it.

They don't need any help. There's fuck all else to do. Hence the farm animals live in fear.

It may have reopened. I haven't been near the place in about 25 or more years. It was the first drinking establishment I was asked to leave when I wouldn't stand for the anthem at the end of the night. And that was the last time I ever went.

I didn't. But you can misinterpret to your hearts content. It's your super power.

Get off the fence and say what you mean. 😂 As I said your opinion is set and absolutely nothing will change it. Even if Rangers became a Catholics only club you'd stick to your diatribe.

I was born and brought up in Linwood on the outskirts of Glasgow. We had Orange walks, a lodge and a Rangers Supporters Club all in that wee village. There was also a Masonic Lodge too. The Orange Lodge membership were not all Rangers fans, in fact I know of a few that weren't into football at all and one that was a Thistle fan. Almost all Orange men were members of the Rangers supporters club though as it meant they had 2 cheap places to drink. I didn't go to a lot of games in my youth and the vast majority of the bigotry I saw was just in the village itself. My mother worked in the Rangers Supporters club and that's how I knew so many of the folk. The vast majority would probably fit the 90 minute bigot scenario apart from the fact that their bias probably also influenced all sorts of other parts of their lives. In particular one mad halfwit that was supposedly nice as anything but when he'd had a drink was basically Iain Paisley on Speed. Interestingly the Orange Lodge went bust first followed by the supporters club. As far as I know, the Masons are still going. The long and short of it is my experience is very different from yours.

It may surprise you to know I don't know the song you're talking about or the add ons. In fact I barely know the names or lyrics of any of the dodgy songs because I wasn't taught them and I haven't wanted or tried to learn them. So I'm not the best judge of if what was sung was dodgy.

I understand what you are saying but if Rangers had been allowed to die and hadn't been readmitted to the league do you think these bigots would have just melted away into obscurity/silence? Because I don't. They would have found another focus point for their shite. It may not have been on the same scale but it would have been there and would have attracted all the scum over time. Rangers can and should do more but Scottish culture needs changed either first or at the same time.

I agree with you. And you're right, they are scared of UEFA. So hopefully the SFA can grow a set and use the example being set by UEFA to help force a change. Then again, pigs might fly.

I've been a couple of times with work. I wouldn't bother. It's like every day is a Sunday from the 70s.

Seriously, gonnae actually read my post. I said they couldn't make the SOCIETAL change. Of course there is stuff the clubs can do, and regularly don't to try and move the issue away from them but they can't get rid of Orange Lodges etc. However the clubs are not responsible for the root issue. That's built into the twisted culture of the country.

Nah, I just thought I'd yank your chain. Your previous incarnation showed the utter bias you have against anything Rangers related, so your opinion is always warped by that. It shows in your interpretation of my posts.

You going to own up to your previous incarnation or not?

🤣 Sorry, I came over all Sid James for a minute there.

😂 Bloody hope not. I always ask the wife to stick it in my salad!

To be fair, as I get older I get less patient, so any fight would possibly be partly down to my attitude. 🙄 Despite what WCTA seems to think, I can't be arsed with that sort of shite when I'm trying to "enjoy" a game of football.

How very dare you! 😉 I have a Tuna salad most days for lunch. I'm especially partial to some rocket and red onion.

You're right but they seem more concerned with making money. Things could have been changed when we were in the lower leagues but they chose to go the other way. Part of the reason I don't go anymore is the increase in the bigotry over the last few years. I'm too old for that shit and I'm certainly not a good enough fighter to pull up every halfwit singing stupid songs.

That's the thing. I thought it was all covered as hate speech and therefore the same level of criminal offence.

No point in further posting with you. You have made up your opinion on my posts and despite evidence to the contrary stretching back years you cannot acknowledge you are wrong. It's also interesting that a supposed new poster supposedly knows what I've been posting for years. Who were you before you were banned?

Did you read my previous post? Possibly the bit that recognised Rangers lack of progress in that area? Or are you like Boris and just ignore stuff that doesn't fit your agenda?
