Regenmann Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Best to avoid Firhill then if the video (posted on YouTube and subsequently removed to prevent doors being kicked in at dawn) of Partick fans at Celtic Park last season is anything to go by.

I couldn't tell you the last time I was at a Thistle-Killie game where there was as little as 2,000 home fans. Everyone of them gets a hell of a lot more respect than those who follow the bigots from Govan and the East End like sheep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always an exception to the rule. And what? Rather have 4,000 actual fans than hangers on. Celtic couldn't even get close to filling their stadium last season, not even on the day they got the trophy but now have a waiting list like they did under MON. At least Thistle don't see half their support disappear when they aren't playing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'd rather spend a lifetime going to watch Thistle v Albion Rovers at Firhill than spend a minute in amongst the spotty chinned, nose picking wanna-be pretendy terrorist lovers of the Green Brigade at Celtic Park. If I had to. And as long as I didn't have to sit next to Olas. Kudos to anyone who chooses Thistle over the Bigot Brothers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People (with justification) are quick to condemn OF fans for racism and sectarianism, but it's brushed under the carpet when fans of other clubs are the perpetrators.

Not a Celtic fan in the Celtic end at a Celtic game? You have the cheek to moan about Whataboutery!! PS - Good to hear Sectarianism alive and well at Parkhead on Saturday. I'm sure Lee McCulloch will be delighted to know he's an Orangeman with unmarried parents. People in glass houses.

I never said I was at the game! A video was brought to my attention last year - it lasted several minutes and comprised of Partick fans using sectarian and racist language.

Your post stinks of typical old firm arrogance. I'm sad to say it but he's probably not too far off the mark. I'm a season ticket holder at Firhill and ouwith Aberdeen, the OF and Hearts and Hibs it's rare these days to get a crowd much in excess of 3,000 - although I'm not convinced this factors in the U16s, who get in for nowt. Either way it's disappointing, since it's our best season in the top flight since the early 80s. Still, the training facility is a great bit of news. It's not essential but it'd be great if they could build it in the north or west of the city, to keep that community feel going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's meant more as in "we don't care" as I'm sure the words are "f*** your pope and f*** your queen" the "your" rather than "the" changes the context a bit.

I know fine well what the context is, and like I said it doesn't bother me, but it doesn't make it any less offensive under the OBAF act. I wouldn't be allowed to sing "I'm an atheist, so fuk Muslims and fuk Jews" regardless of the context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy did: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/student-convicted-under-controversial-anti-sectarian-3037633 A bit ironic, if you ask me, since the underlying message of that song is in tune with (pardon the pun) what the OBFA is trying to achieve.

I would have expected such an incident to stick in my mind, especially if it lasted for several minutes and, as you say, Thistle don't have a very large support these days, meaning those fans would have been more conspicuous. Maybe it happened at a game I wasn't at (I've been to most but not all). It's a pity the video has been deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how vigilant the stewards in the away end at parkhead tend to be, I'd be surprised if they got away with this sustained racist and sectarian behaviour.
