Haud the bus! Exactly who are the bigots here? The only reason smeltic fans get wound up about a British flag is surely because of their anti-British bigotry?
Apologies if this point has already been made (canny be arsed flicking through 16 pages of pish) and I'm certainly not advocating Motherwell fans brandishing a Union Jack as it has very little to do with MFC but there seems to be far too much emphasis placed on those causing the 'offence' and not enough on why anybody would be offended by what is essentially the national flag.
Had Motherwell fans been brandishing a red hand flag then that's a different story but a Union Jack? Sorry, but if you're offended by that then you're the bigot.

and back to the joking, just how long will it be until he's linked to the job at Ibrox
At least 10 years I'd imagine.
But aye, well done SMC. More of the same please.

Been told he has no future at Hearts apparently.
Stop sniggering at the back there...

Is Bakayoko no whit John Lennon used tae see when he wis gettin' his nat king?

Canny really mind, it was ages ago. I remember him and Junior Burns getting a YTS gig at Fir Park at the same time cos you had to get your school leaving card signed by all your teachers and they both came round all the classes together. Gary was a really nice guy but not sure what happened to Junior.

Took me an hour to get here, I live 5 miles from the fucking stadium.

You can always get a train from Motherwell to Cumbernauld and Jump in a taxi.
-
Well you won't be traipsing through uncharted rainforests but aye, it's a bit hairy. The stadium's easy to find if you're walking along the roadside (no pavement for half the trek). If you choose to stick to the footpaths, the chances are you'll be wandering round Cumbernauld for days. The town really was designed by fannies.
-
Aye, it's 15-20 minutes walk. Trains every 1/2 hour from Queen st (Edinburgh express but only every other one stops at Croy) and they only take 10 minutes.
If you're there early enough for a beer, Broadwood Farm's about the only pub in the vicinity but it is only 2 minutes from the stadium. Don't eat the grub though unless you're a big squirty bum fan.

I'd like some change out of twenty notes at the turnstile.

You can't exactly define what is 'sectarian'
The dictionary can though

1. of, belonging or relating to, or characteristic of sects or sectaries
2. adhering to a particular sect, faction, or doctrine
3. narrow-minded, esp as a result of rigid adherence to a particular sect
n
a member of a sect or faction, esp one who is bigoted in his adherence to its doctrines or in his intolerance towards other sects, etc.
sectarianism n

I used to have a similar set-up in my loft...
-
well the lib dems and tories delayed the health bill at westminster when it became apparent everyone in the country hated it.
Did they? Or was it because the threat of a LibDem revolt could have sunk it? I suspect that if the Tories enjoyed a similar majority in Westminster that the SNP has in Holyrood then they would be railroading through whatever suited their agenda and not give the slightest of fucks what anybody thought. The SNP did not need to review this bill to get it through but they have done.
-
The bill has been dalayed for 6 months to allow criticisms to be considered. Credit to the SNP for swallowing their pride and taking this action. Not sure how many other political parties would have done this.

He was that highly thought of we rejected £750k from Rangers for him.
Aye, didn't we just...

Sectarianism doesn't necessarily have to apply to religion though. It refers to intolerance between subdivisions of a group. In this case it is generally used to refer to intolerance between Catholics and Protestants (subdivisions of christianity) but it could easily be applied to a Celtic fan hating all Rangers fans or vice versa as you could easily argue that these are subdivisions of all Scottish fitba' fans.
In saying that though, MJC is spot on. Chanting IRA songs is no different from Muslim extremists openly supporting Al Qaeda and you should be doused in petrol and burned for doing so.
Probably.

I've been washing my hands after doing a shite since 1970.
There's one tradition that I'm confident the Celtic support will never claim as their own.

But if ye had to choose?
Fucking hate that one! What possible life or death scenario could occur that would lead to this choice having to be made and why isn't suicide ever a third option?

In any situation when people are throwing abuse at any form of opposition it will also be of the lowest form in the hope that it hits the target and winds them up. So probaly no surprise that those people you heard on Saturday making references to fen!ans and tattie munchers, etc etc were probably also throwing dirty orange h*n comments at the other scum, sheep shagging pedo comments at another mob and druggie bastard comments at anyone from our lovely capital - and so it goes on.....
I'm not saying it's wrong or right but I am saying it doesnt mean they have any hidden agenda - its just that they hate everyone equally.
Pretty much agree with this. Taken out of context it's quite unpleasant but at the time it's a reaction designed to cause as much offence as possible. Still doesn't make it right though.
As far as the "who dae ye hate mair?" question goes it's Smeltic by a mile for me. As offensive as the Rangers bigots are, at least they're honest bigots. The green bigots come out with this anti-Irish racism victim pish while at the same time openly claim to hate the British. Where do you even start with that one? Hate filled hypocrite bigots will always be worse than your simple common or garden hate filled bigot. Also, singing songs about the IRA is no better than singing about being knee deep in f****n blood. Two cheeks of the same arse right enough.

Put him in stocks doon the parade.

Horseshoe in town then the Montford for us
I'd imagine the Montford would be a bad idea unless you're wearing green and white and intend blowing your entire giro on the big day.
