Not, of course, Rangers' fault for selling orange scarves, leisure wear and away kit in the club shop. Or Celtic's, for hard-selling the Irish, Catholic origins of the club by way of green, white and gold kit, and the celtic cross symbology wherever they can get away with it. No, not their fault at all. It's all to do with drink. (I was going to put a smiley here, but I can't find one which adequately protrays my enmity to the whole subject). |

Of course, you could point out Celtic put up a stautue of Jock Stein a full 44 years after him winning the European Cup. The fact that he was Protestant was, of course, a coincidence. |

I'm in a right funny mood today - not enough sleep - but I'm a bit confounded as to what could be reasonably done by the clubs. I know, every moderate thought I have about the OF struggles to emerge through the competing hard-wired bellowing from my brain of "but they're both CUUNTS!", but if I'm at all able to put that to one side, I don't have to like either of them to have a grudging respect for their annoying tradition and heritage, nasty though some of it is, and how it makes both of them more than a club. I wish we had such a powerful draw that kept more fans locked in to lifelong faithfulness to United, rather than just a proximity to Dundee and a somewhat random shunning of the 'Dee. The OF surely have a high quotient of nutjobs in their ranks, either real or weekend/match-day trouble-makers, but does supporting the OF make them that way, or is the OF connection just a way they have of expressing their repressed idiocy? Going to United games puts me in close proximity to a fair few arabs who I would have nothing whatsoever to do with if it wasn't for the football link - I doubt we'd be much different to the OF in terms of social disorder if we attracted ten times the crowds to each home game. While the OF have indeed been a bit rowdy of late, do we really need more rules, laws or prohibitions, or should the ones we already have be applied? What is so specific about trouble surrounding OF games that would demand targeting those that go to the games or perform in the games with different laws than already exist? |
