UB march probe

[Bill 13,717]

C’mon folks, a filthy republican shitbag complains about a “march” that no one would have even mentioned had he not stuck his bitter hatred into the equation ... and it’s wall to wall piety and virtue signalling. What happened to No Surrender? 

 

You might not like UB, I don’t have much time for them myself, but try to show some solidarity.

We are showing solidarity both with the club and the majority around here who appear to agree with my views on it.  Showing solidarity in no way equates with supporting every dimwitted idea that can have no positive outcome for the club and could easily have a disastrous outcome.

Disastrous?

 

Are you expecting them to blow up a block of flats?  

 

I'm glad sensitivity isn't contagious.

You're negating nothing I said there nor introuducing anything positive about this ridculous plan. You know one who is "a good bear?"

 

I would suggest he isn't too good a bear nor too bright either

I have little interest in negating hysteria over nothing.  

 

Ultras aren't really about creating a positive image.  Neither were loads of Bears at Old Trafford in '74, Villa Park in '76 or Hampden in 1980.  It's football, not tennis.

Disastrous yes IMO one of the marchers will shout/say/sing something which will end up with an attempt by the police to apprehend him/her and all hell will break loose,as I say that is my opinion and I hope I am proved wrong.

We have not made front page headlines in a long time would be a shame if this puts us back there.

Also if the police try to “kettle in” the fans, could lead to trouble. One thing for sure the MSM will be there in force to report any bad images to the world.

They've done these pre-match marches a few times without any bother.

 

It seems a rather questionable MSP has got some of you worked up about nothing much.  They're good at that, I'll give them that.

The problem with this is it's absolutely pointless with zero chance of anything good for the club coming from it and the club is my main concern.  It's obviously not their main concern.

 

It's also pointless putting in peripheral points such as the team wear black away when we and everyone else know that's not the reason black is being requested as a 'uniform'

 

This can achieve absolutely nothing but attracting the attention of police and media which is exactly the same thing we would all expect if their opposite number on the other side had printed such a leaflet and declared such an intention.

 

I'm frankly livid and embarrassed these total fuck nuts are virtually certain to bring more bad press on the club while presenting an intimidating chanting spectacle to the passing public on a Sunday morning. It takes only one complete idiot to turn it into a disaster and I think we can be confident it will be liberally sprinkled with complete idiots.

Between those taking part in this march tomorrow - Urban Bears, Blue Order, Vanguard Bears and Imperial Bears - I'm sure there are plenty of good, sensible and mature bears who can hopefully counsel the young lads to march peacefully. No one wants to see trouble, and nothing has happened yet.
However, what I find disappointing is that a supposed bear who, even if he finds the idea of this parade disturbing, would stoop to the level of referring to fellow bears as "fuck nuts" and "complete idiots".
One might almost be moved to tell him to  "dry yer eyes on yer pinny".

Ok you educate us all on how great this is, how it will show the club in a positive light when straight from the off we have yes 'fuck nuts' suggesting a tactic of wearing black regularly used by those intending disorder to hinder identification.

 

Hey no one would have an issue if it were the green version pulling the exact same stunt on an old firm day while encouraging participants to wear black. Right?

 

And you actually think this dry yer eyes pinny babble is saying something with any intelligent comment don't you. It's actually vacuous non content.

One thing that will come out of this is that if trouble does occur and brings the club into disrepute the mob pursuing "safe standing" who are the same lot advocating this march will be left with no negotiating rights.
