Gonzo79 15,294 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I think some people want football stadiums and forums full of people who never utter anything but acceptable (to them) comments. What a dreary world we're heading for, full of nodding automatons. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’ve lived here for over 3 years now and I’ve yet to experience any anti-British stuff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of Irish people live in Scotland. Are they subjected to this offensive anti-Irish stuff you speak of? I've worked besides several Irish people and have never heard any of them complain about xenophobic or racist Scots. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,148 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) I'm talking about the several posts before I posted. Perhaps I read them incorrectly, but I don't think I did. Anti-Irish, anti-catholic, these things are unfortunately associated with some of our support. I mean there's even a sarcastic response to my post that I'm apparently feeling sympathetic for a stereotypical representation of Irish people that some people love to talk about.
