Aye, it's still very much a West of Scotland problem - Wednesday night proved that to an extent.

Whoa, whoa.

What did Wednesday have to do with anti-Catholicism?

'Up to our knees in fenian blood', 'Fuck the Pope and the IRA' etc.

As reprehensible as that shit is, the connection to the trouble on Wednesday is pretty tenuous.

"Awright lads, lets go chase those fucking poolis."

"Haw Malkie, had we no better sing a hatesong first?"

"Right ye are, fucknose."

I wasn't referring to the violence, there's been enough reports of the anti-catholic songs being sung from noon until night on Wednesday. I don't think people were stopping battering each other to sing a wee ditty but it seems that there was a current of anti-catholic singing throughout the whole day - regardless of whether there was any violence that was apparently still in evidence.

The old firm rivalry bleeds over into a lot of throughly inappropriate venues.

Its a default position for both teams, look at this thread.

[Zippy]

I think the anti-catholic sentiment goes deeper than old firm rivalry.

This threads fuck all to do with Celtic, Mark.

Tam was talking about Rangers anti-catholicism on the day of the match. I think that its more directed at Celtic than catholics.

I don't think many non-catholics really gives a toss what catholicism is about, the guys in the other strips are the bad guys.

They may live down the street and work in the same place as us and our kids may go to school together but on match days they're the bad guys.

I was just thinking that "Ninety minutes of Hate" would be an awesome name for a band. Something in the thread must have inspired both of us.

Might use it.
