I don’t know about that mate . it’s a totally different thing to an English chant . These aren’t Saturday songs , they are part of your family , your friends , these are songs that are played at home in your childhood . It’s a far bigger thing than the colour of shirt you pull on . I've seen 2 lads stand up and sing “the roll of honour” on their jack jones in front of 50 rangers fans in an afghan fob. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The tribal mentality Wilf talks about wouldnt allow 2 West Ham lads to stand in front of 50 Millwall lads singing songs about the old Dockers in this area from years gone by but they might get away with Bubbles....( well maybe not thinking about it ) .......point being footie is footie and religion/politics is something completely different i learned that on a winters night at Lansdowne Rd 25 odd years ago I dont know maybe im being too cynical....maybe im just becoming too intolerant of bullshitters the older i get ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know mate, I think there’s lots of things people like and dislike or feel a bit of connection to, I dont think they require everyone to suddenly turn into Stevie McKeag.

When I first moved up here I got invited to New year party. I was the only catholic( ex catholic) at a party. Things became very very ugly. Celtic v Rangers games are a really tense experience. Adrenalin ,hairs on your neck standing up, eyes bulging, testosterone levels at bursting point. f****n brilliant. A nd I'm 71. Hate the catholic Church now but something deep still makes me a Celtic man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.357shooter 1,225 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 so what did he relly do to get the sack.must have done a lot of things to upset a lot of people before this.did he just do a shit job ? or was he guilty of something a lot worse that has yet to come out ?,to me it looks like this was the excuse needed to get rid.
