A remarkable state of affairs. |
If I’m remembering correctly that comment was made with a hint of sarcasm with the poster not being particularly serious. |  | | |

The way this was coming through in the media I thought something horrific had happened. Other than some Rangers fans in balaclavas running on the pitch in a somewhat aimless way and one flare being thrown it looked like fairly bog standard derby day behaviour that can be seen anywhere in Europe. |  | | |

How did you manage to interpretate all that when the guys only comment on the thread , up until that point, was "2-2 Up the RA"? |  | | |

I don't see an issue with Celtic fans flying the Irish tricolour. It's a national flag rather than a sectarian symbol. Celtic was formed by Irish Marist Brother Walfrid and had strong ties to Irish immigrant communities in Glasgow. That is their heritage and tradition. Just as Tottenham Hotspur has a deep-rooted historical connection to the Jewish community in North London. Or the Merseyside clubs have a strong historical connection to Irish immigrants.
Likewise God Save The King is a national anthem. Rangers are a British club playing in Great Britain. It's not an anti Catholic song.
This is completely different to sectarian abuse such as Celtic fans calling Rangers fans "Huns" or Rangers fans calling Celtic fans "Fenians" Or both sets of fans celebrating sectarian terrorist organisations such as the Provisional IRA or the UVF. Or displaying sectarian symbols. Or singing sectarian songs such as the "Famine Song", "The Billy Boys". "The Sash", "Come Out Ye Black & Tans", "The Men Behind the Wire" or "The Boys of the Old Brigade".
So there is a huge difference between celebrating a football club's culture and traditions and indulging in sectarian abuse.
What was on display at the end of today's game was sectarianism by Rangers fans wearing balaclavas associated with the troubles.
There are a lot of people who don't live up here who could do with educating themselves on the subject.
Matt. I think I have posted a considered reply and explained the difference between sectarianism an long standing historical ties. Instead of simply downvoting my post why not counter my argument? [Post edited 8 Mar 19:34]

"It's not an anti Catholic song" - welll...maybe not to the average British person nowadays, but 1745 definitely wants a word....and as you well know, both sides have very long memories.... |  |

You’d need to ask BDS, but I read it as a response to the initial dubious post. |  |

What’s the RA? Just curious as I missed that.
As for Celtic and Rangers, no I don’t really know the history, nuance, allegiances, what it’s about beyond one lot support Catholics, the others Protestants. In other words zilch.
However, they have their league to play and fight in and they are just fine there so leave them there. The last thing our leagues need is that lot.
I’ll never understand that sort of thing. Football is sport. You follow your team, hope they’ll win with every fibre of your being and if you don’t, you strive to do better. The opposition? They’re just that. Leave it on the pitch and in the bar.
I never understood the football violence thing back in the day, despite witnessing it, running away from it and on odd occasions dealing with it. [Post edited 9 Mar 12:12]

It’s slang for the IRA.
Someone posted abusive sectarian unionist content when rangers scored against Celtic. That was posted in response when Celtic equalised. | |

Ta for that. Seems a bit odd to shorten a three letter acronym, but Im sure there are plenty other examples out there. | | | |

I think it’s more about the syllables, which go from three to one.
It’s Ra as in rhymes with car. | |

Speaking as someone with Scottish Presbyterian parents, I do find it bizarre that Rangers fans use the Union Jack given they are a Scottish team.
But sadly it's all to do with Loyalism.
As an aside, my mother's father who was born in Glasgow and not necessarily a football man had a soft spot for Celtic and was really happy when they won the European Cup.
Finally, I imagine very few people who support either team go to church given it is religion which is really at the heart of the historical issues in Ireland. [Post edited 9 Mar 9:06]

….in the politics of it, and taking the whole flag waving purely on face value, then surely it’s less “bizarre” than a Scottish club using the Irish flag!
Seems a strange view to take given they are both British clubs. | |

you’re a liar and I’m getting fed up with this obsession you have with everything I post.
There was a thread about the old firm game. When Ragers scored I posted GSTK (God save the King). In reply to Bloots.

It was a light hearted reply to Bloots as he, Sitters and I often post GStK before England internationals. It wasn’t posted as “ abusive sectarian unionist content”. The only person I saw post sectarian abuse on that thread was Libero who referred to Rangers fans as Huns.
https://www.twtd.co.uk/forum/625953/6297204/some-goal-in-the-old-firm.-(n-t)/#post6297204
A court in Scotland has ruled that is hate speech.

I’ve since discovered that another poster made a comment in support of the IRA. But you are fixating on one light hearted comment. It’s so obvious what you are doing.
I’ve already addressed the difference between sectarian abuse and a club’s culture and traditions.

So if I understand this correctly someone posted GSTK when Rangers scored in the Old Firm Derby then got upset when someone posted Up The Ra when Celtic scored 
Amusing enough  |  | | |
