Kenny Shiels & Glory Hunters

[fatshaft]

Sits in the studio and gets tore into glory hunting scum

 

People in kilmarnock who support Kilmarnock, people in Perth who support St Johnstone, people in Motherwell who support motherwell, those are real football fans to me.

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[RUL]

Is that what he said?

[virtualmontana]

Great result for Killie, the interview with Pascali was also good.

 

Let's hope it fucks their squad up for next week...

[fatshaft]

Is that what he said?

Word for word

[fatshaft]

+ "they've been looking for this glory to support the old firm...." before the above line. Pure magic, and Tanner couldn't move on quickly enough from it.

[Mouse]

Also said people from Ayrshire that support the old firm aren't true football supporters. It's true about Ayrshire as I was in Ayr to see Status Quo with a mate and it was the same day as QOTS v Huns, pub was full of Huns. Ayr is a shithole in general though

Aye I heard that on the radio.

 

Great stuff.

 

That's up there with Stuart Cosgrove and his comment about Aberdonians feeling superior to Glasgow.

 

"Aberdonians, and with some degree of purpose and right on their side, have absolute contempt for Glasgow. There is a side of Aberdonians who..... let's be absolutely honest about this, feel so superior to Glasgow that you could measure it by the yard".

[V for Vendetta]

Pity a few more so called journalists and pundits couldn't speak such truth.

 

I fear for Shiels though - he can expect the media to set themselves against him now, not to mention the inevitable death threads from the moronic scum.

[fine-n-dandy]

Hat's off to him

[Old Wing Stand]

Top bloke take a bow Kenny Shields

"I'm especially pleased for Kilmarnock folk who support Kilmarnock," the Northern Irishman said.

 

"I genuinely feel that should be the parochial thing for every community. People from Paisley should support St Mirren, people from Motherwell should support Motherwell and people from Kilmarnock should support Kilmarnock.

 

"In Ayrshire you have a lot of Old Firm supporters, who, in my opinion, are not real supporters.

 

 

GIRFUY

I'd be interested to know who Shiels supported in his days in Northern Ireland - surely it wouldn't have been Rangers or Celtic?

[Oklahoma 1903]

What about weegies that support the Dons?

Don't they have local teams to support?

I think Kenny did mention "glory" somewhere in his interview, probably rules out anyone falling under your above criteria

[deco_1985]

How good was that gig though?? I was there, and ended up in a fine mess!

 

Back on topic, that is brilliant, fair play to him for saying that. Every word is true, about time people started saying that!

[Oklahoma 1903]

Take the glorious 80's out of our history how many weegie fans would we have?

 

 

When I followed the Dons in the 70's and 80's you never heard a whining weegie accent in our support.

[Mouse]

Bloody brilliant. I'm more of a casual fan, but they are a guilty pleasure and I've seen them 9 times

[tup]

I think this is fighting talk, magic, the power of two clubs in Scotland needs tackled before we can move forward, every manager and player for the other 10 clubs should have this mindset.

 

Their power is self-imposed, and was not challenged, ruining our football landscape.

 

Time to rein them in. I sense the worm is turning.

Agreed, but massive thumbs up to the guy though for having the balls to say what all of us have been saying for years

[RUL]

I agree with him, but where do you draw the line, my old man was born up north and moved to edinburgh for work, I lived in the city for years but moved to fife for work, my sons are both dons fans, football also has to be a family thing.

[Stoneybloke]

Yes, he spoke very eloquently and sincerely. Great respect for the guy.

You publically admit to going to see Status Quo?!.....

That's different mate, totally different

[Redstar]

That's different mate, totally different

 

I'm not quite sure how it is different??....You usually find that Hun and Tim supporters in Aberdeen have a pretty strong tie with these clubs either thru father's or grandfather's....I'm pretty sure your average young lad growing up in the North East will support AFC unless he has a good reason to support either of the OF........or of course the other reason........They have been dragged along to Todders and had to sit thru the absolute shit that is on display week in week out.

[Bobby Connor]

Is this available online? Would love a listen!

[Oklahoma 1903]

That's different mate, totally different

 

So it's okay for someone from another city/region with ties to Aberdeen to support the Dons but not for someone from Aberdeen with family ties to Glasgow to support one of the OF.

My Great Granda was from Ireland, it's a family thing...

 

You hear it all the time. Invariably bullshit and as transparent a justification for glory hunting as you are ever likely to hear...

 

TOTALLY different.

As I said earlier would there be any weegies supporting AFC if the glorious 80's were removed from our history?

I certainly can't recall any weegies in our support pre 80's maybe some older posters can tell me otherwise.

 

Or can any weegie Dons fans on here tell me why they support AFC and not a local team ffs there are plenty to choose from between the weeg and Aberdeen, why Aberdeen?
