The most predjudicial coment on an OF thread. Did you take time to think of something that would offend both sides of Glasgows tribalism and the rest of Scotland or is being such a twat your default setting?
Given a large portion of Glasgows population have roots in Ireland are you infact asking "why dont you go home"? Just asking all innocent like.
Please say you mean Birmingham
Manchester City have been my second team for nearly 35 years.

When I was about ten I remember a cousin visiting from Castlemilk. Boy, oh, boy, was he bigging up the UVF and wanting to kill Fenians left, right and centre. I asked him - all innocent like, as I was ten - why didn't he move back home.

Shame he didn't say that in either of the local pubs in Castlemilk.

You mean this bit?And congratulations on your nice editing, you dick!
You mean where you confused the reformation and the mediavel eras?
Not that that is even close to the sum of your confusion, mistaking a modern largely secular footballing tribalism losely based on a vague sense of ethnicity (and that is pretty arguable) for an actual religious division. But hey why deal with the complexities of a society you dont really understand when you can spout cute little empty tautologies.
For many\ most of the fans these days 'religion' in the OF is not a relationship between Christ and the individual but a marker of group identity.
If you dont understand that, fuck of and go bother some thread on the SWP vs some anarchist newspaper. All the sectarianism you could wish for and none of the great football.

No mate, I mean the bit where I asked a simple yet obviously for you uncomfortable question about what other Scots think about the pathetic macho posturing and rucking that the one of the greatest football traditions in the world has become. I didn't really need to ask it because I know the answer as I expect do you, but perhaps you'd rather not admit it. I just like to be reminded now and then that most Scots in fact deplore and rise above all of the sectarian shit.
I'm English and I hate, I despair and feel thoroughly ashamed of English football's history of hooliganism, of racism on the terraces and yes tribalism between the likes of Manchester and Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs and even Luton and Watford, but when it comes to first prize in the stupidly surreal bizarreness stakes, you have to admit that the old firm win hands down.
One of my earliest football memories was watching Celtic win the European cup back in nineteen sixty whatever it was on the telly with my dad in our leafy home counties suburb, The passion of it cried out at you, I ached for Celtic to win, and then the sheer magnitude of the achievement, one of the greatest moments in British sport, for me almost as good as winning the World Cup, it left me on a high for days, and I'd have felt the same if it had been Rangers. I've been married into an Irish family most of my life now, deeply religious and nearly all Celtic to the core, but they wouldn't even have it in their hearts to think ill of the dead, let alone hate someone because they're of a different Glasgow tribe.
You carry on with your tribalism if that's what makes you feel safe and comfortable, satisfies your need for group identity, but football is so much more than that.
Just a thought, all innocent like.
And just for you, I will fuck off now.

Uncomfortable? In what way do you think your pea brained question is uncomfortable? Its a question that has obsessed the chattering classes of Glasgow for many decades now. Your intervention is largely that of a clueless clown who wishes to appear wise on an issue you know absolutely fuck all about.
Its easy unearned wisdom of the gormless internet cunt.
As for
What football? No! Say it aint so pollyanna.
Fuck off you thick cunt. Seriously. Has become? You are such a fandan you have never heard of the 1909 Hampden riot?
Wait for inflatable jesus or Fedayn to tell you who and what the notorious song "The Billy Boys" is all about. Become? Fuck off.
Hey have a video.
Really, or maybe I will support a football team but reserve the right to explain if not excuse the attached attitudes to it. Dont tar me with your one dimensional brush because you want to posture as Mr Wise on a topic you know fuck all about on the internet.
More imortant than what? Its a sport.
I strongly doubt you think. You are simply regurgitating tabloid truisms.
We shall see if you can master your ego enough to live up to your declaration. But please feel free to live up to your word.

Why should either of us tell him? Why would he care? It might be best to tell Rangers fans what it's about frankly....
Biggest tragedy about that game is that everyone seems to have forgotten that Danny McGrain scored not only a goal but the winning goal in a cup final....

Personally I'm all for getting into the complexities. It is a complex problem that deserves better than the simplistic pronouncements you hear on either side.
Like this:
Which is really a pretty piss poor summary of the relationship between the celtic support and the IRA.

I think we covered that already.
Was there something in particular you were confused about?
Personally, I think it's a lovely wee tune. Shame about that "fenian blood" and "surrender or you'll die" thing. It's yet another example of the tendency for Orcs to not understand where the line is.
Although the original lyrics are kind of troubling in themselves.
Bring the good ol' Bugle boys! We'll sing another song,
Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along,
Sing it like we used to sing it fifty thousand strong,
While we were marching through Georgia
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee. Hurrah! Hurrah!
The flag that makes you free,
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
While we were marching through Georgia.
How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound ,
How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found,
How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground,
While we were marching through Georgia.
Not surprising since historically man city's firm have been nazi cunts.

The Kool Kats might be a bit alarmed at that statement, given they're mainly a black firm.
The other ones, were fash though-the guvnors-correct me if I'm wrong. Dave hann talked about them in no retreat.
Thats right. When i was 8 it was nothing to do with my school strip being the Manchester City strip it was because the firm were nazi cunts.
Aye keep telling yourself that.Thats right. When i was 8 it was nothing to do with my school strip being the Manchester City strip it was because the firm were nazi cunts.
