Scotland's Shame That Is The Old Firm

[wisemongoose]

Seldom will there be a more opportune moment to rid our society of the sectarianism

that blights our game, namely the demise of Rangers and their following, closely followed

by those followers of Celtic that hold dear causes that mean nothing to anyone with

intelligence and a sense of current affairs.

 

Imagine the impact upon society if these citizens had to do something else with their lives instead of living in a goldfish bowl of hatred basedon religious grounds? Imagine the impact upon our NHS hospitals which have to pick up the

pieces after each football match involving these clubs. We seem to have forgotten what competition is

and what football is all about.

 

Sitting at Pittodrie I listen to the lengthy tannoy announcement at every

home game which admirably begins with a message about racism but then has sinister religious

tomes that can only be meant for these two clubs (sorry institutions). This announcement being just a small part of

the apologists game that perpetuates our TV, radio and newspapers.... Chick Young etc.. I've

nothing against him or any of the others. I just feel they are living in the same goldfish bowl as

the followers of the institutions and feel obliged to feed the lower IQ fish around them.

 

For all the legislation in the Scottish parliament regarding sectarianism why don't we just allow these clubs

to go their separate ways (they wanted this anyway because of money) and allow football to become

our national game again , untinged by religious bigotry or dodgy financial dealings, and full of competitive spirit.

 

On a more sombre and less optmistic note, I'm afraid the footballing clubs will decide to help save Rangers (for money)

and nothing will change. When that day comes (the sombre part) I will after 40 years supporting the Dons, more than

likely no longer turn up at Pittodrie or the new stadium...as a matter of principal and most probably disgust and

a sense of betrayal.

Vote from me. Aside from the end bit, hopefully we stick the boot right in and do our part to save scottish football.

This is why you can't even drink a beer at an SPL match any more. This is why Scottish football can't have nice things.
