Rangers fan proves our argument

I'd like to thank the anonymous Rangers fan who made this contribution to the famine song blog

Here is a country steeped in Treason, murder and child abuse asking some football fans to stop singing a song about the truth."

Thank you for proving our theory that your support is infested with knuckle dragging Neanderthals.

Nothing I could write could ever sum up the Rangers support better than your contribution.

Enjoy Champions League night

Rangers fans laugh at violence

They think it's funny to have a laugh about people being beaten up in the street. One week after 2 of their bigoted thugs attacked Celtic coach Neil Lennon and left him for dead, this lot still treat it as a joke
This post on BBC 606 a den of bears bigotry is typical of the idiotic response from these cowards

Now it's meant to be a wind up, a silly light hearted joke and it might have been if the subject was not so serious.
They really are the lowest of the low.

Why do we tolerate this bile?

Graham Spiers

Jack McConnell is right and Alex Salmond is wrong. Scotland will never be rid of its bigotry unless Holyrood adopts a strong anti-sectarianism line. Otherwise, decades of this desecration of Scottish life and culture, particularly around the Old Firm, will continue.

In some ways the shocking attack on Neil Lennon was fairly predictable. It has happened before and it will happen again. Just as, on Sunday afternoon at Celtic Park, sports reporters, myself included, sat through the usual litany of bile spouted by visiting Rangers fans, with hardly a mention in next day's reports.

The issue has become wearying. How many times can you bang on about “Scotland's shame” before you start losing the will to live?

In London the coaches of Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur are not attacked in the street. Neil Lennon is no angel, and can certainly dole out the verbals, but these repeated attacks on him are no random fluke.

Instead, we can be quite specific about it. He is a Catholic from Northern Ireland who, just like Martin O'Neill when he was the manager of Celtic, provokes some deep well of prejudice among some of our less enlightened citizens. And it is to the embarrassment of Rangers that quite a few of these unfortunates attach themselves to the club.

Football rivalry is supposed to be keenly felt, yet the peculiar context of the West of Scotland means that, in the case of the Old Firm, it allows for open and voluble prejudice. If this was anti-semitic or anti-Asian vitriol, would we tolerate it?

While Celtic can hardly crow, given some of their supporters' chants, there is a more significant problem at Rangers. The club is unable to gouge out the choral poison emanating from a section of its followers.

Whatever else Jack McConnell got wrong, he had the guts to stand up and condemn bigotry for what it is, and try to root it out. Alex Salmond would do everyone a favour if he came out and did - not just said - likewise.

Welcome WE ARE NOT THE PEOPLE

This blog has been set up by and for Celtic supporters who are fed up with the double standards applied in Scotland and the Scottish media regarding the constant bile ,hatred and racism shown by the support of Rangers FC.
While our club and support have made great strides towards ridding ourselves of sectarianism and bigotry, the other club in Glasgow seem to have become even more vile in their hatred of Celtic Football Club, the Irish and anyone of Irish decent who live in Scotland.
After being shamed and forced into dropping their hateful songs by UEFA (note that it was not by the Scottish football authorities) they in their desperation and anger have turned their attentions on Celtic Football Club, our fans, our origins and our clubs history.
They have sought to defile the good name of our club and our greatest manager Jock Stein by exploiting a child abuse scandal which sadly occurred in the 1970's within Celtic Boys Club.
No regard have they taken of the victims or their families they have simply used selective information to attack our club and to attempt to destroy the name of a great Protestant man, who gave Scotland it's finest sporting hour.

So what is the Scottish media made of this?

• Have they condemned it?
• Have they started a discussion on it?
• Have they attempted to name and shame the guilty Party?

Sadly the answer is NO on all counts.
I myself have written on several occasions to broadsheet news papers in Scotland in protest of this vile campaign, not one letter has been printed, neither have I had any response.

Worst of all the Board of Directors of our club has remained tight lipped over this affair leading to anger within our support when we have to sit in OUR OWN ground and listen to these vile chants.
In the past few days we have

1. Seen our coach attacked in the street by sectarian thugs, AGAIN
   
2. listened to the bile from their support in our home, AGAIN
   
3. heard about a woman and her 2 kids being put through hell by RFC thugs
4. witnessed the showing of a banner depicting our club as ambulance chasers AGAIN in our own home
   

It's time for Celtic fans to make our feelings known on this subject and others e.g the racist "Famine Song" which I will blog about later.

Hail, Hail

We Are Not The People
