I didn't call you a Fenian. I don't know your political beliefs and I'm not really interested in them. I already said I was aware the authorities had a problem with the word; I don't sing that song in Ibrox. You don't have to agree with the law; you just have to follow it.

Post 9, was actually in reference to clippy, it was the first line of a song and a big smiley face. The reason I removed it was because whilst I'm comfortable having that level of banter with my Celtic mates, I don't know clippy or how he would have took it, so I removed it. No big conspiracy, just stupid drunken postings.

Now, back to my ignore list you go.

You removed it because it was about the pope.

I thought this post might somehow find itself being unearthed following the crashing of a certain amount of bottle in Leith last night.
Mind you, that said, it was all a complete travesty and down to those dastardly fenian masons for disallowing a goal just because the whole of the ball didn't cross the line. Disgraceful, and just the sort of underhanded shoddy shenanigans that is always brought to bear when the teddy bears are up against it.
Anybody fixed the date for the Ibrox Fire Sale yet?


Mon the Sheep!!

Apparently penis is going to take over as chairman



Hun always bottle it against the sheep, a few chants of 'nice one simmy' and they bottle out of the 50 50s

I call my hun mates huns (Or any other number of D.O.B things) and they all call me a dirty fenian, taig, soap dodger etc and naebody is all that worried.

If you take football seriously in this day and age then you need your head examined.

I'm mystified by the utter bollards that the "supporters" of various football organisations spout.

The world would be a better and more peaceful place without the violence that 22 ludicrously overpaid primadonna pillocks kicking a ball round a field causes.

Not true, and only a shandypants geek or an egg-chaser could draw that conclusion.

Bobby Moore caused the Cuban Missile crisis, Henry Kissinger on the other hand had a great left foot.

What utter bollocks you speak.

Yes, clearly all those people who use football as an excuse for a fight would take up morris dancing and spend their time drinking cider shandys and facing off with a silly stick in their hands round the maypole ...

Guilty as charged M'lud.

I've attended games of both codes with up to 60k+ fans over the last 20 years and I can only recall seeing 1 fight in the crowd (hundreds on the pitch obviously) which was years ago at Post Office road in Featherstone (an ex pit town which is a total hole).
By the time the huge Police presence of 4 officers were aware something had kicked off the fighters were thrown out of the ground by the nearby fans. By thrown out I mean they were heaved over the wall at the top of the stand.
I've happily drunk in pubs after an away game wearing a team shirt amongst opposition supporters or for that matter drunk beer bought from the bars in the ground and never had a hint that violence or hostility existed irrespective of the result.
Let's face it the League teams don't have any different a constituency of fans than the Association Football clubs, for that matter most League Teams are in pretty crappy poor areas yet there's no violence, no Police escorts for the fans and no area demolition, at least none that I've ever seen.

The only obvious variable that appears to be responsible for the clannish violence and outright nasty behaviour appears to be the sport supported.

A personal theory is that the sport of Association Football is so terminally boring and viciously expensive that the "fans" are desperate for something to do so they act like pillocks in and around the ground.

You know, I've been to a similar amount at a variety of football grounds and clubs, and since the 80's I don't reckon I've seen a fight either.

I have seen rugger bugger being complete and utter obnoxious twats in pubs though - does that count?

What's your point?

Without wishing to be too heartless, I might point out the obvious. You are from Yorkshire, and thus are about as qualified to comprehend the subtle nuances of football as a pit pony is to grasp dressage.
