Well, thanks for wishing me out of existence, old chap. I'd refer you to any of my previous posts where I have reminded the slow of thinking (might include you, I'll reserve judgement) that the Celtic/Sevco fan bases are drawn from throughout Scotland and a small adjacent island, the more so if you include the pot-belied drunks who wear the tops and subscribe to the culture but never go to games. More people identify with Celtic or Sevco in Peterhead, Inverness, Dumfries, Kilmarnock, Ayr, Paisley, Dumbarton, Motherwell etc etc than with the respective local teams. They are a cancer on my native city, yep, but they are a cancer on the rest of Scotland as well, and beyond. Glasgow teams? I don't even think of them as Scottish teams, given the IRish, Union Jack and Ulster flags that proliferate in their sinkholes. Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen are perhap places in Scotland less affected by the pull of the Old Firm. ALl the same, I think you'd be disturbed if there was ever a headcount. They're everywhere.

busby1985 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I was at the game and in the stadium. “A large group of Croats” I counted 17 fans inside the stadium until about 25 minutes into the game when the police escorted in around 60 more (tops) fans but the boys that came in went straight to the police barriers etc looking to stir it up. Outside from what i saw, was about 500 yards in front of me, few handbags and the usual pavement dancing stuff till we got closer and folk where signalling the boy had been slashed/stabbed. Couldn’t tell you who started what but anyone who takes a knife to the game is a joke. I’d also echo the police Scotland are a joke statement. Looked like the Croatian fans done an organised walk to the game with flags and banners etc but no police escort, probably because there was only about 70 of them in total.

I can say quite unequivocally that the majority of their support are bigots. The same goes for the other lot at the East side of Glasgow. The above paragraph is said with 50 years experience of Scottish/ Glasgow football behind me. In this instance the blame lies with both the Croats and Sevco. Neither are blameless.

Croatia are probably more political and religious than the West of Scotland Old Firm fans are, Croats who follow their national side are very patriotic people and very switched on towards Scottish people, however there are also Croats who will never follow their national side and there's often a lot of organised gangs who turn up at Croatia matches just to cause disruption and try to get Croatia kicked out of comps etc, you might already have seen this, but when sides from Split play sides from Zagreb, it's not for the faint hearted.

The point, I read from the post, was one group looking for trouble got it returned by another group happy to do so. Which was my point in that Rangers had recent history against Hearts fans. The "nothing to see", I read as as nothing to do wih bigotry ot sectarianism, which Jake totally de-railed the to with his bizarre posting manner. Again, the post (IMO) was all about knuckle-draggers , will always be knuckle-draggers.. So, i did not see anything to wet pants about and demand bannings. 6 hours ago, davie1980 said: You're entitled to think he's wrong, out of order even. I'd be inclined to agree with you. Banned from a forum because he doesn't care about it though? Are we the thought police now? It's not even as if he went as far as saying they deserved it or he was pleased, he just said it isn't big news, these things happen. I think he's obviously playing down a serious issue, hardly a banning offence Fair enough , if iv picked parts up wrong , boiled my p*** a bit at the time. Banning is a bit ott , just think it was out of order and deserved a boot in the balls for the comments and how I took them. Which was by not calling it out they were saying its acceptable just turn a blind eye. May not have helped trying to dechiper Jakes ramblings and derailing in the middle. There is definately always knuckledraggers , hopefully something that will overtime become a bigger minority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
