Apologies to the rest of the forum - these tit for tats are tedious. I'm only a newcomer here but there does seem to be an obsession with having the last word in certain quarters.

Bluedell 5,599 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Seems very clear and logical reasoning to me; is there a specific part I need to explain for you? Not really. The joke you've got your knickers in a twist about wasn't anywhere close to the jokes about Ricksen. You may be uber-offended because of where your girlfriend's from but it wasn't making fun of those who suffered from the police brutality and therefore isn't comparable, in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were looking to cause a scene and deflect attention on to their insignificant political existence. Doing this on a day of remembrance (although not during) is imo pathetic. You can put them in with the sewer sheep too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because most want a united Britain does not mean people are against every kind of separatism. Personally I don't know anything about the Catalan history and to be honest I don't really care to find out but it would not interest or annoy me one bit if someone is waving a countries flag at me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,152 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The Thistle fans held it up alongside a Yes flag. The intent was obvious. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,529 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Personally I thought the stewards/polis over-reacted. Thousand of bears were just laughing at the two morons who thought themselves courageous political martyrs for flying a couple of flags most fans couldn't care less about. The reaction of the Thistle fans was even more hilarious when they realised we were just laughing at them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If many Rangers fans tie in unionism with their support and bring a Union Jack to wind up the Tims and others, then I can't see what the difference with a Scottish yes flag is. For me, we should keep all politics out of football, and especially on or around armistice day - which I would hope is non-political. Clubs should design their own flags and fans fly them instead. I also can't see the point in a national flag when you're playing a team from the same country. English fans used to do that with the union jack and it put a lot of people from the rest of the UK off that flag. Now that they have switched to St George, I think many Scots in particular, are more comfortable with the union flag than they used to be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,152 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I agree, Frankie. I don't think those flags warranted them being thrown out, although I suspect words were probably said that also contributed. Laughing at a wind up is usually the best response. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m naive but I don’t consider bringing a UJ to a Rangers game as winding up Time and others. I see it as homage to our history. We are Scottish AND British. For example, when a prominent journalist called us the “quintessentially British club” I took that as an honor we were being applauded as being true to our roots. I couldn’t care less if it winds the Tims up or not. We’ve always been british have we not ? The UJ has always been prominent at Ibrox too has it not ? If so, then how is that winding the Tims up ? It’s more probable they are winding us up with the Tricolor 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
