euan2020 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Am I correct they only tried this once in Aberdeen and it got scuppered by Aberdeen fans recently. - 10 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newryrep Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Is this clip in Northern Ireland or Scotland? My guess is NI where the Lambeg is rooted in the history of both communities. Routed in both communities ? Aye about as much as marching is routed in both communities ie not very much in the national community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peever1745 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 If it was the one that was to be held in Aberdeen close to St Andrews day then it had nothing to do with any football supporters group.A member of our group who applied for a counter march on the same day and same rout as the Orange Walk who got it stopped. The council would not allow our march so decided to stop both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockwombles (and that goes for GCC too). http://athousandflowers.net/2015/06/01/orangefest-set-to-take-over-glasgow-this-saturday/ I don't get this obsession GCC have with using George Sq for everything. Glasgow is full of open, public spaces. Or better yet, as other people have suggested already, hold the thing in a stadium. That way, anyone who doesn't wish to have this nonsense inflicted upon them can go about their business in peace. Still, at least they are getting rid of those ghastly steps at the top of Buchanan St. Good old GCC, they can always be counted on to get their priorities right.

MacWalka Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 What SNP councils have stopped marches in other parts of the country? As much as Orange Walks annoy the hell out of me, I'd prefer to allow them to keep marching, albeit less often. I'd far rather folk had their bigotry on display in the full light of day rather than hidden, then at least society knows who they are and what they believe.

I don't necessarily disagree, i'm just challenging Peever to back up his claim that the SNP would stop them with some evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPROAR Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 a) this will all go off decently, respectfully and peacefully it will all kick off in a pit of sleazy anti-catholic sentiment, alcohol and violence for which we can hold the council officials responsible for encouraging this........
