Scottish football

[Cork Evertonian]

He's talking about Celtic supporters singing Irish rebel songs.

Well there's things some elements of the Rangers support sing about, i would object to as well. Perhaps we should stick to the football.

I'd say supporters of the other clubs, must be sick of the whole old firm circus.

I didn’t mention that at all though, that’s why I’m confused ?

This is interesting because you equate being Scots with being a particular group of people: those who come from a particular faith. Any Scots who are not from that tradition are hyphenated-Scots: Irish-Scots, or Catholic Scots or Irish Catholic Scots. That's how you are able to justify to yourself the word "unique" in relation to them and it's how you can also use the term "cousins" when commenting on two or more football clubs formed a century and a half ago by people who were not Scots Presbyterian.

This apparently innocent terminology is at the heart of exclusion and bigotry up there.

Your interpretation of the term says more about your mindset than mine tbh!!

Your outdated view of religion and it's influence in Scotland and it's ability to include or exclude certain factions of it's population are to say the least naive, the polarisation within Scotland today is undoubtedly political and whether you're a part of Sturgeon and her party's determination to Seperate Scotland from the UK or not!

Don't be confused and fooled by the football related "nonsense" by either side as a barometer of how things are up here!!
In the main the vast majority of Rangers/Celtic supporters live in relative harmony equally together.


The Catholic/protestant thing outside of the football affiliation is
pretty erroneous, as I'm pretty sure a very high percentage of both sides support don't actually attend church/Chapel and are more secular tbh, so don't "practice what they preach" so to speak!

There was a great interview of Diick Campbell on STV last night, you’ve got to love the guy and what he’s doing with a part-time team.
Speaking of part -timers , it’s Buckie v Brechin for me today . Buckie went top following a cracking away win on Wednesday night at the Broch , knocking them off top spot on goal difference. Brechin currently 3rd , so another tough game.
Who‘d have thought it, football actually going on outside the Central Belt ?

Never heard of Danny Doyle before apart from the bearded gentle singer who sang Whiskey on a Sunday. What years are we talking about?

First time we won the league title in 1891, he was captain.

Left-back. He was also involved in the death of a player on the pitch.

First player to win English & Scottish league titles.

I found that out by doing a tour of Celtic Park a few years ago. Ha.

Supporters of a few Scottish clubs are certainly no innocents when it comes to vile chants, Corky.

Wow. What happened regarding the death of the other player?

Well, my hometown team - East Fife, whose record of 3 wins from 24 before today makes Everton's season look good - stunned me by winning 3-1 at Alloa; I expect I could have named my price on both Everton & East Fife winning & scoring 3 in the process, but I'll take it all day long.

Looks like Aberdeens season is finished.
Only the indignity of finishing in the bottom six will cap it off, although that should mean 5 wins to finish ,but even that is questionable.
Outwith the laughing and leg pulling, we (spl) need strong challenges for the Glasgow two.
Unfortunately only Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts can attract 5 figure attendances outwit the visits of the big two.

Arbroath v Hibs on BBC tomorrow lunchtime - will be good to get a proper look at the Red Lichties (AKA the neutral's choice to win the Championship). I like the way they've weaponised the weather in that windswept ground, and everyone hates playing them. Not sure if Hibs will be relishing this one, but should be an interesting watch. I've got a lot of time for the Campbell brothers, who were both decent players back in the day - Iain especially.

A family friend is a big Arbroath fan was told he only had weeks to live two years ago, Donald is still with us ,going the match.
I'm no neutral...

Thanks for confirming you know nothing about the subject.

The political cleavage is also very much along sectarian lines.

You live there, and I'm having to school you on the world you live in.

Lol.

I will most definitely be rooting for Arbroath tomorrow. I’d love to see them get promoted too. What a story that would be.

Never been to a game there but I always enjoy visiting Arbroath and stocking up on smokies.
