runningtings Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Saw a bunch of NI neds battering a flag seller before a few folk jumped in, they then got huckled and lifted. Irish accents, just wee dicks, there were a few wee groups of them trying to bam Scots up but they were just ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 You're lucky. Never met a decent one in my life, so it's hard for me to believe they exist. The far superior people they share their island with on the other hand. Magnificent and friendly bunch! I've met some brilliant people over there and had some brilliant trips with Killie to Belfast, Lurgan, Coleraine, Derry, Portrush. There's a lot of backward people though if you go to wrong areas / pubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Scotland v Faroe Islands on a Tuesday in Pittrodrie. Wait a minute!! J I don't think so. An international match at Pittodrie still has some novelty value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Are assumptions made just as readily for our English accented Scotland fans? Give the anti rangers stuff a rest in ta specific thanks It's not anti-Rangers to say that I saw guys wearing orange Rangers polo shirts, draped in the Red Hand of Ulster and shouting in broad Glasgow accents at the back of the West Stand. That is fact - what you infer from it is up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Walking to the game along Battlefield Road saw the police swarm in on a number of guys in Northern Ireland shirts with 2 vans fast appearing on the scene. Only saw a couple in central station and in the Granary before the game, but was not like last time where they were every where. Getting taxi down to the south side I noticed the Sou'Wester was packed with them and Union Jacks decked out everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Shows how daft it was of the SFA to agree to play them. Unless we draw another British Isles team in a competitive game, we should never play of them again. Honestly, what did the SFA expect from last nights game, it was obvious that the bigots would be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonC Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I went by the Florida park at about 7.20 and there was ton's polis outside of it, putting NI fans in to meat wagons. Me and a few mates nipped into Florida Park for 1 before the game about 7. As soon as you walked in you could sense an atmosphere. After about 10 minutes it kicked off with fists and plastic cups flying from the Northern Ireland fans of which a fair few had Rangers gear on.

The far superior people they share their island with on the other hand. Magnificent and friendly bunch!Pretty blinkered opinion that, I thought you were a socialist?...Unless we draw another British Isles team in a competitive game, we should never play of them again. We should be ok with the Welsh (although that usually ends disastrously ON the park!) Edited March 26, 2015 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned into proper rammy, wasn't pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geed Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 When leaving the Church on the hill walking down to the ground, heard a number of sectarian songs being sung by a group of northern ireland fans, some of the stuff they were singing was appaling, Rangers songs also being sung. Also a number trying to stir up trouble singing you can stick your indpendence up your A**e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotlandFanMuir Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 What I really can't believe is how offended some of the grown men around me got when the NI fans started singing Rule Brittania or GSTQ. No wait, I'm not really surprised. 'Go back to goven ya hun b*stards' was the chant to the NI fans from the lovely chap behind me. Little did he know he had a Rangers fan 2 foot in front of him, but it's water off a ducks back. It's a football match. Fans wind each other up. I didn't hear too much from the NI fans of note that was bigotted in the ground and I certainly wasn't offended. I don't know how some of the easily offended brigade manage to make it out their houses in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would be, do you just consider sectarianism less bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow jock Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I think we (Scotland) fans really need to start giving it back (not the bigoted sh*t), we really have became such a timid & tame bunch over the years, thats the past 3 home games now the atmosphere has been in general created by the away fans.

If you would be, do you just consider sectarianism less bad? I never heard any sectarian songs within the ground last night, thought I'd added that point in but I didn't. We were in a pub in Rutherglen before the match which only contained 2 NI fans so never heard anything pre-match either. It's the level of of 'offended' folk were reaching just by the NI fans singing GSTQ and Rule Brittania which was my point of the last post. It's like, really? To answer your question, no - sectarianism isn't less bad' than racism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningtings Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 There was a guy shouting shite in the direction of the NI fans last night, as if they could hear him. Pointless. Mostly people were just watching the game and paying the songs no heed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Jesus, I think attending football matches is probably the wrong choice for many on here. So many songs on their banned list and god forbid winding the opposition fans up is now upsetting their little ears. I recommend rugger.

People must live really sheltered lives if that upsets them. What I found most bizarre was people booing NI fans doing the bouncy? It was'nt even the same 'version' of the Rangers equivalent..... Thought the vast majority of the Scottish support done well by ignoring them last night. But when you have bangers like the four guys infront of me shouting, "We are the 45", "f**k the Queen", "Go back and support the dead club..." Nice one lads.....

John_B81 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I am. Utter filth to a man. Feel sorry for any bairn being brought up in that horrible country, not a hope in hell. Sweeping generalisation. I went to Belfast on a stag weekend and the locals everywhere we went couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. This is on a par with labeling every Glaswegian bigots because of the actions of a minority of two football clubs. Scotland fans can't claim the moral high ground after booing their national anthem.

Just scum of the earth.Bitter Sevconians. You've gave me a laugh mate, thanks. Firstly, 'sevconians' - cracking. Are you 12? Secondly, 'scum of the earth' - really? Lastly, I never saw any Rangers fans in the Scotland end, maybe apart from myself, however I had a tartan scarf and a black jacket on - I hope that's ok? What we did have near us was 2 German men supporting Scotland which amused me briefly before I remembered how cold I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
