Beast Boy Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 It’s a topic that has probably been done to death, I know. They really are nauseating though. I realise some of them will have links to Glasgow through parents etc, but the sheer number of them, and listening to them babbling on about “us” and “we” when referring to winning the league and the upcoming cup final turns my stomach. I moved to Penicuik two years ago, after living in Edinburgh all my life. I always thought Penicuik was traditionally a bit of a Hearts stronghold. It’s absolutely hooching with mhanks though. Quite depressing. Anyway, just an observation. Anyone else live in a place that’s overrun with supporters from a team based nowhere near their home? ?

Why not support hibs then? Considering they were the original Irish team playing in Scotland. It will be down to the fact that Celtic are more successful. I’m the opposite. Never lived in Edinburgh and was born in Glasgow. However my dad and all his side of the family are hearts fans. Happy with my choice despite it’s not always the easiest.

Debut 4 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I never thought about it when growing up but in adult life it actually irritates the **** out of me. Walking into a shop and some arsehole in a Celtic top walks out the other way with a smug grin. I don’t get these guys? Do they feel they really belong to a club they probably hardly ever watch in a stadium or grew up supporting a team while in the minority amongst Hearts and Hibs fans? Glory hunting bassas.

SectionDJambo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 When I was still at high school, more than a few years ago, it wasn’t unusual for non Catholics of my age to be Celtic fans. They were, of course, usually glory hunters who didn’t know the way to Parkhead, but it wasn’t for reasons of bigotry. These days, however, it seems that the main reason why someone would support Celtic, or Rangers, is for reasons of religion. This, in a country where the numbers going to places of worship are dwindling rapidly, which would suggest that it’s just tribal bigotry. It is pathetic and shows how Scotland, despite being a country that likes to portray itself as tolerant and welcoming, is actually a place full of thick people who are the exact opposite.

Happy with my choice despite it’s not always the easiest. It’s plain and simply and excuse. Although many say their dad supports them too so they do. It really gets on my tits the amount of supporters buses that leave for their games from Edinburgh although not as many now because the glory hunting social media era has led to random kids supporting Barcelona and Man City - something I don’t agree with but one less glory hunting Celtic bassa the less.

Byyy The Light Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 They are to be pitied. Closest most of them get to a game is taking wee Henrik to the stadium tour for his birthday dressed top to toe in strip and tracksuit. Parents waddling about after them in matching tracksuits. 90% of their clothes have a Celtic badge on them. Neds, bigots, glory hunters who know absolutely **** all about football.
