Lucifer, well I seem to remember back in the 80′s and 90′s when Celtic made attempts to contact the other lot to try to make some headway in resolving the differences for the sake of the fans, safety and all that, which were all refused, and the chairman of the other lot, just got drunk and was recorded singing sectarian songs!! small point but at least we tried. BTW I know I haven’t referred to the dark side by name, but I am a horrible bigot after all!! haha

basically that picture could be applied to Glasgow Celtic fans as well as they have a large moronic element as well mixed with their support for outlawed terrorist organisations like the ira, eta and the plo groups

Well, you can’t really change “Glasgow Rangers” for an American football team. Rangers and Celtic fans are actually tied up in religion to an unbelievable degree. Rangers are the “protestant team” and Celtic the “catholic team”. People get stabbed by fans of one for wearing the others’ strip, and it all boils down to Irish catholic immigration to the west of Scotland and the xenophobia/religious bigotry exhibited by both sides.

Or, as I read in “Wha’s Like Us? – On the Unrealities of Being Scottish” -

“If God did not exist it, Rangers and Celtic would have had to invent him.”

But author dear, you did have a choice, you could of course have claimed that Mo got it wrong, not you. Keep it in mind for next time!

(Funny, I scribbled a brief comment on exactly that passage from Tom Sutcliffe’s piece, but my similar example [that actually works on me] was [under exactly the right circumstances] folk music, especially old Civil Rights songs or labour songs or Spanish Civil War songs – or, ideally, all three in one. I’m a pushover for Springsteen doing Seeger songs. I was going to post the comment but ended up deciding it was too slight. But we do notice the same things, don’t we!)

I can’t find Mo saying that at all! Are you sure we’re looking at the same Glasgow Rangers comic? It’s hilarious as always but don’t put words in the prophets mouth, please!

I am a pedant too. I had no choice.

Geez, try to show off a little and look what happens. I never expected anyone to actually agree with me, and I certainly didn’t think the author would consider it important enough to change. I feel so… so vindicated.

And a little guilty, too.
