Clearly their obsession is nothing new.

It's in their genes.The scum never change do they.
Refused to admonish English of any wrong doing.Willie Maley was the bastard at the heart of all the finger pointing and blame... maggot!
That’s worse than what I thought he said.At the fatal accident inquiry a doctor gave evidence that John Thomson had an abnormally thin skull and in fact he should never have been playing football to begin with.maley sowed the seed of doubt with his awful statement “I hope it was an accident” utterly contemptible
To be fair i paraphrased what he actually said but I think that sentiment is there on his actual quote.why would you even say it if it wasn’t in your mind,it was shamefulThat’s worse than what I thought he said.
They are vermin.
These people emigrated to foreign countries both through necessity and choice.
They show no gratitude and make no effort to assimilate. Instead they attack the culture and traditions of their new countries and force their culture and criminal way of life onto them.
I am never surprised by how low they stoop.
Scum.

Tha's the church to blame for that. keep the pennies rolling in by division.Roll on 80 plus years and the legacy of hatred and bile is still there to be witnessed today, handed down generation to generation.
Maley was a prick, completely agree this shows their behaviour now is not new. In saying that their club was founded by robbing another team of all its players so it’s been ingrained in them from the moment they were shat into existence.
Absolutely. And what do we have in 2020? Different circumstances but - 1. Them / smsm hounding and abusing a top Rangers striker with the intent of driving him out of the Scottish game. 2. Referees hell bent on giving every opportunity to other players to injure our players without sanction. 3. Rangers management (maybe previously) considering offloading a player to appease them / smsm and stop the targeting of him. 4. Rabid republican terrorist supporting players, no matter where they play, infecting other teams with their vile world views. And how did the scum get the money to travel around to hound Mr English at a time when ordinary working people lived in abject poverty? Get the plate round at the pineapple. History always repeats itself.Roll on 80 plus years and the legacy of hatred and bile is still there to be witnessed today, handed down generation to generation.
A tragic story all round, obviously for Thomson and ultimately for English too. How do you even begin to understand the mentality of folk who believe that a player deliberately set out to kill another?
What that article doesn't state is that Johnny Thomson was known as an incredibly brave keeper, bordering on reckless and that he'd been injured not long before, diving at the feet of a forward.
The footage of the incident completely exonerates Sam English and proves beyond doubt that it was a tragic accident. Malley's malevolent suggestion to the contrary was despicable.
As a boy when having heated arguments with my generation of Celtc fans they would always throw this in your face as their ace card. The only thing that we had in common with the Thomson/English incident was our shared ignorance.
I spoke to my Grandfather who was at the game and he spoke of it in hushed terms, but like everyone else at the game, the subsequent furore was his best memory of the whole tragic incident.
When I seen the footage of the incident many years later, as you say, it completely exonerates Sam English. If only they had the TV technology and camera angles then that we have today. John Thomson would have remained as the brilliant and brave young goalkeeper that he was, and Sam English could and would have had the empathy of the football world. Except of course, the Celtc minded, who pass their ethos of hate and bogus victim mentality from generation to generation so seamlessly.
