Section Q Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 I agree he's a bawbag..... But by comparing Celtic to his beloved Hibs, and Rangers to Partick, (quite deliberately), his implication imo is we're like the arsenal cheeks.

Yup, which is wrong but the real point of his is that THE OF monetised bigotry, which they did. The sly dig. Well, he's a bawbag!! I just agree with his point re the 2 clubs I think ruin our game.

Great living round that way if you liked a drink. You’re probably aware Stags Head and MacLachlans have gone upmarket nowadays. Renamed and foodie type pubs. Even the Phoenix up the road is called something else and more food orientated. Traditional pubs are changing or closing altogether. The whole coronavirus thing will be another nail in the coffin.

upgotheheads Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I don't think H1b5 can be compared in any way to Celtic when it comes to sectarianism. And to be honest I don't think Celtic can be compared to Sevco on the same basis. There is only one club in Scotland who can honestly be said to be pandering to bigots as the main part of their culture, maybe I should say Kulyur.

It was a real spit’n sawdust pub but great beer. It’s a shame that so many pubs are losing their identity and yes, COVID is sadly going to kill a few of these small places. When I was growing up in Eyre Place, the Navy Club across the road was well frequented as was the Old Coach Inn on the corner at the traffic lights. It was run by Peter Marinellos dad - PM that played for Hibs at the time and then Arsenal (long before he finished his days with us). The pub opposite the old print works was called the Northern Bar BTW. Marinello lived down Logie Green Rd in one of the prefab-style terraced houses on the left (in the cul de sac) just after the church hall. A couple of doors away lived John Hagart!

LOL! You were lucky not to be lifted by the polis that frequently visited the Police Box opposite! So are you saying you went into the club on its first day of opening? When was that?

Kiwidoug Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I support anyone who speaks out against sectarianism. I am amused however that he aligned Celtic with hibs. He had to do that bacause hibs is the only other sectarian club in Scotland. Their name confirms that. He is wrong about financial penalties being needed to stamp it out. Points deductions and expulsion from competitions are what's required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
