Reply to: Why do football players protest against cards?

[TykeMerc]

fair enough..... it's just that no-one outside Glasgow cares either way. You both sound ridiculous.

Carry on.

I must admit I don't care that much about an ancient sectarian divide that's perpetuated by the tribal combat and combat inducing ritual that is football. Mind you odds are if the two "old firm" teams belonged to the same type of god bothering club then they'd find something else to fight about.

I'd rather all of these pathetic football "discussions" were held elsewhere or failing that in the Light Relief section which has this description "For anything not too serious, now including sports-related banter and polls"

To answer the original question there are two points

1. They're morons
2. The football authorities haven't stamped it out by using punative punishments for offenders

If this type of ref abuse happened in either of the rugby codes the offender would find himself off the field PDQ.

Is it even allowed for a ref to un-issue a card? I've never seen it so it's hugely rare if he can... so why do they follow him around after getting a card? Is there a reason or are they just annoyed?

It's part of the show. Simples.

Absolutely not.

We have had enough of casual anti catholicism and blatant anti Irish feelings from where we live. We put up with it for too long and the "take it to PMs' attitude is simply trying to hide the weeping scab of West of Scotland sectarianim with a cheap plaster. As long as the rangers fans get to sing "the famine is over, why don't you go home" I am not going to hide my opinions from the public.

I am not sure what I have said that gives you the use of the term bigot, is my dismissal of Churchill and his lack of education bigotry?

Coming has 1 m, across has 1 c and bigot has 1 g.

Bigots never are.....

I can only assume that you're drunk.

Nope, sorry.

[Churchill]

Believe me, you are not causing confusion on this thread.

Don't confuse the lack of a degree with a lack of education or ability.

[Churchill]

Dear God, I have given you a reference to a factual published book which I have read, in the book it explicity states evidence to back up my previous comments.

I have given you a link the to review which indcates what I have said, I will quite happily send you the book if you want.

You are trying to argue black is white on this one. Missing the point to argue over semantics.

Yeah, failing that scan the relevant pages and post the images.

[minestrone]

Your "proof" according to "Google" consists of a single post on the FollowFollow.com Rangers Fanzine posted in 2004. Hardly conclusive.

Regardless of the point you are trying to make, you are comming accross as a small minded biggot.

I have pointed you in the direction of proof. You will get the proof you want from that which I have posted. It is not my fault that you are unable to follow up on that.

There was this thing we did at university called lectures where the lecturer would discuss a subject and point us to further reading, part of the learning experience was to go and read that further reading, after a few years of that I got a degree. Can you see what I am trying to tell you here?

It strikes me that you're part of the problem, not the solution.

I asked you to post proof and you resorted to personal insults.

Fail - again.
