Marky Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Well, the good news is, I didn't sit in silence. I've challenged many a person, at both Ibrox and away games; and have reported the worst offenders to police/stewards. But yes, sometimes I had to sit and ignore it, because challenging someone indulging in the bigoted bullsh*t when they were a part of a much larger crowd just wasn't worth the risk to myself. One man vs. many - you've got to play the odds. But now, I'm done. I'm not going back to Ibrox. I used to be able to disassociate the bigotry from the club & the team, but no longer. I couldn't go back to Ibrox and listen to that bollox, watch the morons glorify in the No vote and gloat over the fact the Union is still intact (barely), and see all the UJs and RHOUs being waved. I used to argue that the club were fighting against the bigotry - I was wrong. They encourage it, they feed it, and they thrive because of it. And I refuse to participate in that. So now, if I'm going to football when I'm back in Scotland, it won't be to Rangers games. I'll go to one of the local teams - Motherwell, Accies, or Albion Rovers (not Airdrie!). I might even go to the Juniors, never having experienced that before. I'll still look out for Rangers' results, and I'll still hope that they win etc., but I'm not putting my money into the club anymore. I'm not feeding the sectarianism. I'm done. Top post Nelbo. For the record I wasn't advocating that people verbally challenge these morons and fair play to you if you've done that in the past. I realise that challenging a bunch of Neanderthals single handedly wouldn't be conducive to good health. I meant more protest by not going until the club took action..........which you've already done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow jock Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Shut. It was completely independent from the football club and it has closed its doors. Might reopen as a bar/restaurant I hear. But I'm not sure. Shame - many a good (hic) night in there !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore these two Loyalist trolls. They're just having a wee snigger at the trouble in Glasgow, and enjoy winding people up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goozay Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 You really want to end sectarianism in Scotland and bring it into the 21st Century? Stop sending the weans to separate schools... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, because it was kafflik schoolkids in St Ninians blazers that were running riot in George Square, giving nazi salutes and attacking pensioners and gays.

Ha ha yeh last time I was there there wasn't many Hun scarves getting sold either. The loyal brigade were slinking off home after being pumped out the cup once again by the zombie slayers of dundee. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, they all went to "non-denominational" schools because the state seperates them out and labels them before the age of five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelbo009 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Pollok - go see Pollok. Might take you up on that. Top Post I can see why folk i know, that also know you, speak highly of you. To be fair, most of it's probably lies. No, I don't!! And you're probably telling the truth... As far as you can remember, anyhow. Top post Nelbo. For the record I wasn't advocating that people verbally challenge these morons and fair play to you if you've done that in the past. I realise that challenging a bunch of Neanderthals single handedly wouldn't be conducive to good health. I meant more protest by not going until the club took action..........which you've already done. I do mind nearly getting a kicking on one occasion at Ibrox (CL game vs. Inter, I think) when some utter caveman next to me started shouting at a lad waving a Saltire to "shove that fukking fenian flag up yer arse". I went a bit mental, not realising he was in a group of 10 said cavemen... Stewards moved me to another seat. And aye, he was Scottish...
