Really? I did wonder why there were so few tops representing the other bum cheek

 

I have been told this from various folk over the years. There used to be (possibly still are) wanted IRA terrorists hiding out there.

Shouldn’t be too hard to spot. Anyone wearing a balaclava in 30° heat = terrorist.

Yeah just googled it and found various references including this https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/news/8631511/mp-airey-neave-murder-suspect-found-spain/amp/

 

You get used to seeing Irish bars wherever you go but this was a whole new level even before the height of season.

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? ?

 

As a Cuiker I have to say the majority of folk I know here follow the JTs.

Where the IRA go on holiday. A resort (perhaps ghetto is a better word) to be avoided. 

 

We stayed there when we played Majorca as did Ulster Hearts....it wasn’t pretty! Especially when they decided to have a “march” down the main strip....was very happy not to be wearing colours that day!!

I must just be unlucky then. Seems like everywhere I go around here there’s someone stoating about in the manky hoops, or talking about “us” when referring to them. Twice today, just getting off the bus and making the short journey to my house. :yucky:

 

Maybe I’m a little more sensitive to it because of this weekend. ??‍♂️

Yuck. Imagine living there, or not knowing about these tregs and finding yourself on holiday surrounded by them. Worse still imagine being Spanish and having these creatures infesting the buildings in your street. ?

The absolute scum of the earth in football terms imo.

Not just in your opinion GASC. In everyone’s opinion. Glory hunters the lot of them. Even the fact that their dads were hubs or Hearts they have some justified reason for supporting the scum from the weeg.  Old firm from Edinburgh are definitely worse than the old firm from through there though

Honest question here. What sort of marches do they do? I obviously know about Orange Marches, but didn’t realise they even had an equivalent... were they maybe just all out on the chore?

Well said.Beat me to it. The irony. Let’s put these Rangers memes in the bin and close the lid. We are Hearts. We need copy no one. 

 

I am quite able to dislike the old firm without copying anyone.

Likewise. Recovering from hangovers during the day by the pool and then into Magaluf until stupid o’clock.

 

Best trip ever.

Penicuik doesnt have any more than other comparable sized towns, but I admit they are annoying. They'll do anything for Celtic except actually going to see them. Penicuik is still predominantly a Hearts town though with one of the oldest supporters clubs.

Maybe I’ve just been unlucky, I suppose. Sometimes see guys outside the pubs having a fag whilst ‘supporting’ them on TV. Put the top on to go and watch the game on telly types. The Royal and the Cuiken generally. Bad run of them for me today though. As I said maybe a little sensitive to them with the big game coming up a week after playing them in the league. My home town of Balerno seemed to have acquired a lot more of them than I remember when I moved out in 2001, on my last visit too. Maybe it is just everywhere nowadays.

Called an Edinburgh Celtic fan a glory hunter in the Ardmillan once.

Don’t go to the snooker club.

If it’s still open. Not lived in the cuik for about ten years.

OP With terminology like that get back to Ibrox where you belong.

 

I was told by one of the moderators that that word is acceptable because Celtic fans use it to refer to themselves.  This led me to point out that some black people use the "N" word to refer to themselves but I wouldn't expect that to be considered acceptable on here.  Still waiting on an answer.

Massive difference. Tim Malloys were a street gang. The Celtic supporters attached the name to themselves. It is not an ignorant racial slur attached to slaves, and later their descendants, by rich plantation owners, and modern white supremacists.

 

It’s allowed on here for a reason, and I’d rather folk didn’t wrongfully try and paint me as a racist or sectarian bigot. Thanks.

Tim is not a derogatory term for Celtic supporters and not a single one of them will find it offensive.

I wasn't painting you as either and was talking to another poster.  My point was the double standards on Kickback about how one word is deemed acceptable and another isn't.

 

Seems like a raw nerve has been touched though.

A lot of Catholics find it offensive so I think it's a word best avoided.  Couldn't give a stuff what glory seeking Celtic fans think of it.

Well I've lived in the west of Scotland for all of my 48 years and went to school, grew up with and have many Catholic friends and not one of them has ever said they find the term Tim offensive. If anything the opposite is true, they wear it as a badge of honour.

The poster you were discussing it with (along with @4marsbars) were insinuating I am some kind of Rangers sympathiser for using the term.

 

It’s not double standards at all. Some words are just more offensive than others. A self adopted label derived from the name of a street gang, is in no way comparable to the *******isation of the word Niger to the racial slur that was adopted by rich white people who owned people from that part of the world as slaves.

 

No nerve touched here. Just surprised that you are happy to break the forum rules by discussing moderator actions, just so you can have a sly dig. ?

I know a lot of Catholics, myself included, who do find it offensive.  The people who tend to call me it are Rangers fans or a tiny minority of fellow Jambos who can't understand how a "Tim" can support Hearts.

 

We're not going to agree though so you guys crack on.

What a waste of energy looking to be offended by a self-adopted term for Celtic fans. Especially when being a Hearts fan, it’s got **** all connection to you whatsoever, regardless of what religion drags you in to a big pointy building each week.

Nothing more cringey than hearing old firm fans with invernesian accents.

No interest in clicking that link.  I'm telling you the reality mate but if you want to keep using the word, crack on.

 

As far your comment about pointy buildings, that just shows your ignorance and how you assume things about people you don't know or understand.

My Father-in-Law grew up in Broomhouse. Way back in the 50s and onwards . 

 

He said a joke used to be that after Hearts fans you’re more likely to meet a Celtic fan , rather than Hibs or Rangers, in Broomie.

Tou should click the link. It explains quite clearly why you are misguided here.

 

You said you are a Catholic, so I assumed if that is how you identify yourself, you go to church. Again, nothing offensive in what I have said to you.

A Tim is a Celtic fan, the term has absolutely nothing to do with religion. And you must know very different Celtic fans from me if you've met some who are offended by it. I've never met a single one who is and I know I never will, because they're not.

I've already said that I don't care what Celtic fans (including Celtic Wiki, and why a Hearts fan would want to read that garbage is beyond me) think or say.  It is an offensive word.  Maybe if you had had it said to you many times in an insulting way you would understand.

 

Yes, you assumed.  I was brought up as a Catholic but can't remember the last time I set foot in a "pointy building" as you call them.

 

I'm not offended, just evermore astonished by your blatant ignorance.

It is the first ‘hit’ when you google the word. It details quite clearly where it comes from.

 

I never assumed anything. You said you are Catholic. Knowing a fair few Catholics myself, including some of my best friends, I know that being one involves going in to pointy buildings every so often.

 

What I’m trying to get through to you, is that you being offended by some slavering are of a Rangers supporter calling you a Tim, is the equivalent of me being offended by someone calling me ‘Belieber’.

 

Why on earth you would choose to find offence in this word is totally bizarre. It’s a term for Celtic supporters. It’s not and never has been a term for lapsed Catholic Hearts supporters.

People in Edinburgh who support either side of the old firm are the most pathetic breed that you could care to come across. Dress their kids in the strips and kid on there's some kind of tradition. Absolute weirdos. Fact is most of us on here have probably been to Ibrox and parkhead more than these clowns. No connection just clowns.

 

Off on a tangent but anyone who puts 'bhoy' in their social medial handle or names needs chucked in the forth with concrete slippers, just a more extreme loony dook

 

As said in Edinburgh realistically support heart, Hibs or city now. Even the east of Scotland and lowland league sides. But don't slag off your local teams and support one of the two most vile institutions in Scottish football
