I sympathise here.
My brother-in-law’s brother-in-law is a total qunt of a man.
He comes along to family events and always tries the wind ups.
Type of tramp you'd walk by if he was in trouble.
That is honestly what a Celtic supporting friend of a friend said to me earlier today.
This is what we are up against and I for one was not letting that slide.
I challenged him to justify why it wasn't sectarian and as to why he thinks it's acceptable to abuse Boyd for his religion and to assume that he is involved with the orange order, and his response was, and I quote "he is a Rangers fan, chances are he is...if he's happy to support a club who didn't sign Catholics for over a hundred years then he obviously feels the same way".
I put it to him that that was utter nonsense about us not signing RCs and that he was a hypocrite and a bigot, to which he told me to watch what I was saying and that he "wouldn't be taking any lectures off a supporter of Scotland's shame".
I asked him again, how could he justify anti Protestant abuse of Kris Boyd? He answered it's not anti Protestant abuse, it's anti OO abuse and that is merited.
I was getting more and more angry by now so I put one last question to him. "Okay, so why was the same chant directed at Steven Gerrard? Do you seriously suggest that he was involved with the Orange Order"?
His response? F*ck off, I don't need to.explain myself to you lot".
So there you have it. They simply cannot handle it when someone presses them on their hypocrisy, double standards and bigotry and all Bears should never let them away with it.
This is why more Bears need to speak up and take them to task. They currently control the entire narrative and get to decide just what bigotry is and what is offensive. Everything is weighted heavily in their favour.

He's not a friend, he's just a guy who I know through someone who is and unfortunately our paths cross on occasion.Your friend is deranged and unhinged.
Also a bigot.
I'd suggest cutting ties with the twat
Well done. These pricks need put down a peg or tenHe's not a friend, he's just a guy who I know through someone who is and unfortunately our paths cross on occasion.
He's a deranged, dangerous individual who seems to revel in lying and obsessing about us. He's also very politically active and a big SNP supporter who likes to shove his views in everyone's faces yet gets very defensive and confrontational when challenged.
But I will not back down to him and he hates that fact.
I find Glasgow ones are the worst in my experienceIt’s very difficult to engage with them as most are so entrenched and defensive . I’ve found some are okay , mostly Glasgow boys who know the score and you can get a laugh with, but for the most part it’s easier to just not bother your arse with them . I’ve found especially blinkered from outwith Glasgow , places like Stirling , Dundee etc , just pure hatred for Rangers “ huns” and it’s now become the culture .

There is no banter, no humour from them at all mate. As I said, they want to control the narrative and them and only them 'decide' what is banter and what is offensive.There once was a time when you could have a bit of banter with those who supported the evil cult in the East End but I'm afraid those days are long gone. I think Scotland is more bitter and divided than I've ever known it (I'm 54) and I find it best not to have anything to do with them, which is easy for me now as I live in England. But when I'm back home I go out of my way to avoid any of them if I can. They're scum, nothing more and nothing less, and I want nothing to do with either them or those of an SNP persuasion.
Never mind the ignorant wrong-headedness of Keevins' comments, he's obviously forgetting that Clarke played for Celtic in the early 80sI had radio Clyde on today and Hugh Keevins stated that Boyd got abuse for one reason and one reason only and that was because he played for Rangers, he then went on to state that Clark got abuse because of his catholic upbringing.....thats the narrative that has been set, Rangers = bigots , Celtic = banter, somebody has to challenge this totally intentional rhetoric that idiots like Keevins are allowed to spout without any recourse, him and his ilk are a massive part of the problem and until they are either removed from their platforms or forced to be impartial then only one side of the argument will ever be heard.
I try my hardest not to engage with them too mate, though it's just not in my nature to let any of them vent their bile in my presence without challenging them on it, so when confronted with situations like I described above I try and remain calm and stick to the facts and question their rants. In my experience that pushes many of them, especially some of the more rabid ones over the edge. I've been verbally and even physically attacked by them in the past for doing so, but I will always stand up for what I believe in.since 2012 ive distanced myself from everyone of them including family!
might seem extreme but i havent lost out on anything whatsoever, the less hate filled ill educated wankers in my life the better.
Another reason i moved south in 2015 was due to my anger being pushed to the limit with them and the nats at the same time, it was going to see me in prison for serious assault (at that time i was angry bastard extreme)
since moving i no longer have those issues, no nats, no tims and living in a place where being proud of being British is celebrated not condoned, my life is better for having none of those types anywhere near me and long may it continue.

They hate us with a ln unhealthy passion and their hatred for us overrides their love for their own club and it's been heading this way since the turn of the century and intensified in the last eight years. I used to work with one back in 2011/12 time when Whyte hadn't long taken over and Mark Daly was doing his first programme about it on the BBC. It was shown on a Thursday night at the exact same time they were playing a Europa League match and this tube that I worked with was unashamedly telling all that he was watching this programme rather than his own team in Europe because "this is mare important in the long run". And the scary thing is he wouldn't have been the only one either.
Honestly mate, he's not a friend of mine, he's a 'friend of a friend' and I never go out of my way to engage with him unless he's spouting his nonsense when within my earshot.No offence but any "friend" with that kind of mindset needs dropping from your friend group TONIGHT. Not tommorow, not next week, but tonight. As big a bhigot as you will find.

Don't think he did bud, started off at St Mirren then went South I'm sure.Never mind the ignorant wrong-headedness of Keevins' comments, he's obviously forgetting that Clarke played for Celtic in the U.K. early 80s

Orange bastard is far more sectarian than 19th Century Terrorist bastard.
The orange order are a religious organisation, whereas 19th Century Terrorists are not.
After the first sentace you should have hoofed him in the bawz and golf him to GTF
Exactly, even the ones you think are good guys hate us. They can’t help themselves. Scotland’s shame is covering up paedophiles and giving them ample opportunities to carry out their disgusting crimes over and over again, unchallengedthe mistake you made was having a celtic supporting friend in the first place!
imo if it was me, he'd have lost teeth!
and that goes for every single Rangers fan, why you have anything to do with that mob is beyond me, and why you'd expect anything but a grunt from a pig is also baffling.
if you honestly expect any differing view from them then your'e as deluded as them
Keevins doesn't have a point at all. He is a bitter, agenda driven old bigot who barely attempts to hide it. Has he ever said that Neil Lennon gets abuse "because he played for Celtic"? We all know the answer to that one.Keevens probably has a point here. Has anyone ever been called a DOB by the Celtic fans if they have never played for us in any way or been an obvious fan? That is what our arsehole fans did to Clark the other night. Fave him abuse purely due to his religion.
It still doesn't make ir right but abusing ex players of your biggest rivals goes on world wide in football.
Fair enough but for our fans to abuse Clark purely based on his religion is pretty pathetic.Keevins doesn't have a point at all. He is a bitter, agenda driven old bigot who barely attempts to hide it. Has he ever said that Neil Lennon gets abuse "because he played for Celtic"? We all know the answer to that one.
In answer to your question, they levelled that same chant at Jimmy Calderwood, obviously because they perceive that his Dunfermline side 'lay down' in 2003 and have chanted "DOB" at various referees over the years as well as telling fans of Hearts, Motherwell, Kilmarnock and Dundee to "go home ya h*ns".
It was and was, in my opinion, a massive own goal as we've let them off the hook for the Boyd abuse three days earlier.Fair enough but for our fans to abuse Clark purely based on his religion is pretty pathetic.
I do agree with you but we should take care of our side then we would be in a stronger position.It was and was, in my opinion, a massive own goal as we've let them off the hook for the Boyd abuse three days earlier.
However.... The double standards and hypocrisy that have been on show since Wednesday have been staggering. The Boyd incidents were allowed to pass with very little comment, indeed had Boyd himself not mentioned it on social media then no one outside of this forum would have known anything about it. Fast forward to Wednesday night and Clarke's post match press conference...within hours we've got MSPs, every media outlet and the usual suspects on social media speaking at length about it...then we have Dave King apologising to Clarke and Steven Gerrard speaking about it. And any attempt or call for parity is dismissed as 'whatabouttery' in order to keep the 'main' story the biggest issue.
None of that makes any of it okay of course, but I've always said that if anyone is serious about stamping out 'bigotry' then they have to take into account ALL types of bigotry. Otherwise they are just agenda driven idiots who are only interested in silencing one side of the debate.
don't argue with idiots eventually they wear you down to their level.That is honestly what a Celtic supporting friend of a friend said to me earlier today.

This is it. There is no such thing as a decent Celtc fan. Deep down they all share the chip on the shoulder, victim pish and their hatred of us is every bit as much as our hatred of them.the mistake you made was having a celtic supporting friend in the first place!
