compo 6,214 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 As a club the last thing we need is negative press and this kind of thing brings it no matter how peaceful the papers will make it look like a battle zone and to be perfectly honest I would arrest anyone marching with their faces covered. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UB should attempt 'Le Boudin', a descant chant by the Foreign Legion. You cannot beat a good song about Black Pudding? Better, perhaps, the Legion’s other refrain: “Le diable marche avec nous” 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got nothing against them...they can call themselves whatever they like - makes no difference to me. Also, nothing against them organising marches - think it's a good thing in that it brings supporters together. However, I don't agree with the face covering/identity hiding or the pyrotechnics - is that what makes them "Ultras"??? Why feel the need to hide your face, when your not doing anything wrong??? On thing that did make me smile though "Our City, Our club"....but suggest we're actually Scottish & you get called all sorts!!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,750 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) The Police film them. Who knows what will be viewed as illegal in a few years time in SNP Scotland. Better to cover up than risk arrest in the future. Smoke bombs are pretty harmless. Lassies often wave them in modern music videos and I've yet to read of a single injury or fatality. If you're scared of 16 year olds in Rangers scarves or smoke bombs, these marches are very easy to avoid. Rangers are Scottish. And British.

That’s because your British, and you always will be Dar’t. “Our City, Our Club” has nothing to do with being Scottish. Glasgow is a British city and part of the UK??.

Bluedell 5,354 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 There didn't seem to be much face covering in the march, as far as I could see. Under 10 out of the many hundreds who took part. It was noticeable that 90%+ looked to be under 20. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
