One of my biggest reasons for voting Yes was to live in a country that made ethical and compassionate foreign policy decisions, rather than one that can't wait to start slaughtering brown people or who's biggest weapons export market is Saudi Arabia. Me too. I'm an atheist from Fife and the British Army (and all armies really) can sook ma boaby. Nothing but a bunch of hired killers, as Bill Hicks would tell us.

Maybe you should look at your Man City fans who verbally, racially and physically assaulted my son and myself at the EC game last December. We were sitting having a chat with some Manc's around us no problems, and then along came the Oasis look a likes who started to pick and assault an older guy and his daughter because she had a green scarf sticking out of her bag . When asked to calm down they turned there aggression on myself and my wee boy !!!!! Unfortunately it turned violent, punches were thrown and blood was spilled, the stewards finally became involved and asked us to leave the section .

Reevesy Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 There definitely was sectarianism at the game on Wednesday but GlasgowManCity is clearly getting his sections mixed up. There was even a "Linfield" fan convicted of singing a sectarian Rangers song. As for the "trouble" of overcrowding and pyro, I'm sure he knows that's not actual trouble at all hence why he also put the word in quotation marks. Especially the former, as it's just not true. Overcrowding hasn't been an issue with the exception of one or two games, and if we're shutting down parts of grounds for that then every club in the league would be in trouble.

Taking your young kid into the home section at an away game and then getting involved in a fight., you must be proud of yourself, that's the way to set a good example.

Read what he said again you fanny. He came to the aid of an older guy and his daughter and defended himself when they turned on him instead. I'd rather have a Dad like that than someone who sits there and does feck all to help people in trouble, which it appears is exactly what you would have done.

Maybe he shouldn't have been in there in the first place. From what I recall about that game Man City went to some lengths to ensure that no tickets for home sections went to Celtic fans. Obviously they couldn't stop everyone but it should have been obvious that they wouldn't have been welcome but then clearly there are people who know better.

Do you same about Scotland fans going in the home end? There's nothing in his post suggesting he was singing songs or wearing colours so why shouldn't he have been entitled to watch a game of football with his son without being attacked?

There's an attitude that borders on arrogance that everyone loves the famous tartan army and so we can go in the home end regardless. 9 times out of 10 that works fine and the reason it does isn't the Tartan Army are so wonderful, it's because the hosts are decent people. There's a world of a difference though between an adult making a decision and being prepared to accept any consequences and taking a kid into a situation where it's extremely likely to kick off.

Obviously they couldn't stop everyone but it should have been obvious that they wouldn't have been welcome but then clearly there are people who know better. The tickets were given to me by a mate who is a Man City fan , No colours were worn, no singing and no jumping up in the air even when Roberts scored . Basically the two guys thought it was easy pickings having a go at an old guy and his daughter who were also there just to watch a game of football , but found it slightly different when they were confronted , they did'nt like it and started to give a lot of verbal abuse , the final straw was when they spat at us. Now I do not know about you Mr Aaid but that was a step to far in my rules and thus one ended up on the floor and the other with a bloody nose. We were asked to leave by the stewards and that was the end of the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
