Scottish football

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

I would consider branding the entire Rangers support as bigots, as a slur on protestant people, but look we better stick to the football.

Am I missing something?
Not all Rangers fans are Protestant
Not all Celtic fans are Catholic.
And how many of that religion on either side go anywhere near a place of worship.
Religion has no place in football, tradition, of course, but that's something different.

Celtic just seem to have much more about them than Rangers, picking up results and scoring crucial winners when necessary, also playing greater possession-based football as well. Long may that continue, that racist club should have stayed dead when it liquidated.

what pish you even talking?
That racist club?

Have you heard of Mark Walters and how he was treated when he played at Celtic Park?

Absolutely mornic comment.

Remember when Gers signed Daly (I think, in 2013 anyway) and the media tried to spin it as if something was about to go down? lol

I lived in Glasgow at the time and honestly no one gave a crap, but the media spin was "FIRST CATHOLIC PLAYER SINCE MO JOHNSTON, ARE RIOTS ABOUT TO HAPPEN?"... Nah, they didn't, shockingly. Hopefully less and less people care about that.

Youve missed nothing Al, As Forest Gump might say stupid is as stupid does.

We're not the club that should be pointing the finger here though, are we?

Aren't we?

Aren't we?

As a club in the past - no.

In fact - https://www.grandoldteam.com/2020/06/08/everton-are-white-everton-racism-and-the-era-of-change/ , but plenty of evidence online as well.

Also, in the interest of fairness - early 2000's ranked us, Rangers and Celtic as the most racist clubs in the UK, apparently.

Jon Daly was welcome with open arms. Couldn’t care less what race religion nationality anyone is. As long as they give 100% and do a decent job I’ll love them.

He did quite well as well tbh, even if he was quite limited.

It's what I mean though, that should be the attitude. Well aware it's not 100% the same for everyone obviously, but to say that everyone is like that is a bit weird. Proper davek thing to do.

Scott Brown leaving Aberdeen!

Apparently to concentrate on his coaching career.

I reject that.

No worse at Everton than anywhere else at the time.

The club's greatest hero was black.

It's not up to you or me to reject it though.

No worse anywhere doesn't make us not racist also, like.

A key in that is "when" though, as we had our first black player quite late.
