Thread Name: BS: Are Glasgow Rangers bigoted against the Irish?
Subject: RE: BS: Are Glasgow Rangers bigoted?
Are Glasgow Rangers bigoted? probably
Are Celtic supporters bigotted? Well I have worked with a fine upstanding pillar of our community, a JP no less. And a Football referee. And a commited christian (RC of course). And he wears a lot of green.
His jokes on the subject refer to the "Forces of Darkness" - Ranger of course.
He thinks it humourus to pose in front of a banner in a New York republican club, that bears a sentiment (in Gelic) to the effect glorifying the IRA. And he is just from Glasga.
Bigotted? - there is a lot of it about.
Football rather focusses it like a lens. Us and them. Tribal loyalty.
