Its videos like that that make you appreciate how poetic the weegie accent really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had celebrated on the terraces like this on Saturday then it could have been quite a spectacle for Scottish fitba. Even if they had stayed in their own half on the pitch it would have been acceptable. However, too many went over the score and ruined what should have been the best day in your clubs history.

OLAS Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-36390949 "The Rangers fans have had a hard time over the last couple of years but I'd like to think that we will never see what we saw on Saturday happen again." 3, 2, 1...

phart Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The "provoked and goaded" line is delicious irony. It reminds me of mass brawl at a works Christmas night out probably december 1998. When the Celtic fans at work did a "The Huddle" on the dancefloor and "provoked and goaded" the Ranger's fans who then came onto the dance floor swinging. The next one, someone stole the bus and was driving it around the grounds of norton house hotel, so i had to get a taxi home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this, "this territory belongs to me and must be defended" thinking that caused opposite fans to run on too. Let's extend this point though, they ran all over the pitch. So? What's the difference between standing one side of the line and the other. Tonnes of sports the winning fans run on to the field of play. Ranger's fans seem to be confusing the halfway line at Hampden for the 38th degree Parallel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine if that had been role reversal and Rangers fans had instigated the invasion and ensuing scenes. The scenes would have made world news and Rangers would have been brought to task by now with bans and suspensions already handed out.

There's a big difference in running on the pitch to celebrate and running on the pitch, avoiding your fellow celebrating fans to get within 5 yards of the opposition fans giving them the " Come on " gestures as clearly shown on the above video. Thats not celebrating, that's goading the opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly this is a fairly extreme case, but rival fans have been goading each other since time began. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair game then. Every time our team wins a match we can run on the park and act like thugs. We are all Scotland fans on this page. Let's say for example, we win at Wembley in November. Is it ok for us to nip over the side and run around Wembley getting in the face of every English fan but start greeting about it if they retaliate.

I'm saying if England win and some of their fans run onto the pitch and gesture GIRFUY at us, we turn round as the losers and walk away. Not run onto the pitch to establish the Maginot line at halfway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, none. Let plod find the perpetrators, get them in the courts, throw the book at them and move on. However, if it had been the other way around, I think there would have been an outcry. Peoples feelings against Rangers are obvious, especially in the last four years and if Rangers fans had been the thugs that started those scenes it would have been another excuse to put the boot in if you pardon the pun.

The SFA revel and cite the 77 invasion of Wembley as something to look back on with pride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
