Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I don't usually get involved in this sort of thing (all teams have vile "followers) but the thing that bothers me most about this is the media perception. If this was Rangers fans it would have a secterian/hyperbolic slant in the media but when it's Celtic fans it's usually given the "happy craicster" gloss over. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one news piece even mentioned it was Celtic fans the STV piece actually read like it could've been Rangers fans causing the disturbance. This country is in the shitter beyond a joke. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This country is in the shitter beyond a joke. There was a guy on the radio the other day (can't remember what station) spouting about how great the Celtic fans were after their wee forgotten title party and he mentioned this thing about the Thai Tms and in round about way was trying to make a barbed point about sectarianism etc. He said something about that poor lad Raymond Gormley and how he hoped people wouldn't suffer from sectarian attacks in a modern Scotland anymore. Not one of the broadcasters/pundits mentioned that this poor lad died at the hands of Celtic "fans" and it wasn't sectarian at all 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,282 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Methinks someone should write a decent article about it and post it on Gersnet's main site, so it makes the headlines of NewsNow. If no-one does, we need to get this in motion. Perhaps someone can actually hop over to Ibrox, take a few pics and speak to Tiny herself? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
