shuggy's blog
As a young lad I was safe going to support Queen of the South when any team visited, except Rangers and Celtic. Malevolent troglodytes, the lot of them. But it certainly helped make me sceptical of any sentimental twaddle about "the workers".
There is no force known to man that can stop everyone from getting shit-faced when you're away in Europe.
I like the proles taking over shit and that as well.
Shuggy -- your problem is you're middle class by birth and training.
You dislike the hordes having a good time and that.
Saying all that -- the fucking Hun are real scum. So are the Celtic supporting Paddyknacks as well of course but at least they can behave at times out of some hypocritical attempt to make the English 'look bad'.
Anyway -- scottish footie -- wot a load of shite -- kick owt above grass they do. Pathetic fuckers.
Blog comment boxes -- an opportunity for performance art. So say I.
PS. Kill 'dearieme' - stab him in the eyes and shit. And put the corpse of Tampon On a Teabag Larry on top of his gravestone all dangly like and shit like that.
"There is no force known to man that can stop everyone from getting shit-faced when you're away in Europe."
He's right you know. Anyway, the Mancs don't deserve apologies from anyone.
And I think that the world is a better place when people have an occasional reminder that a couple of thousand people might just decide to all go to the same place and have a party - and there's nothing anyone can do a about it.
All of that said, my opinion of the Russians may go up if their cops can lay on a special welcome for Chelsea fans. A few harmonious years in Siberia would do the headhunters no harm at all.
I liked the Tim police dogs as well.
Paulie as ever is completely correct.
Let the Russkie plod onto the bodies of the cockney filth. Let them spill blood onto the streets of Moscow. Cock-neees deserve all they get for voting Tory after all. Thick fucking bloggertarian scum.
Saying all that -- the fucking Hun are real scum. So are the Celtic supporting Paddyknacks as well of course
Yeah, stay with that thought why don't you? How long have you been living up here? Not long enough, obviously. Maybe that's because you live in Edinburgh - difficult to get it when you live there. I know this from experience. Working class having a good time indeed! Gimme a fucking break.
Anyway, the Mancs don't deserve apologies from anyone.
Yes they do. They invited us into their city and we trashed the place. Don't make excuses for this. They - the Rangers fans - are a fucking disgrace. Any further comment trying to justify these pricks with some prolier than thou shite will be deleted forthwith. Fucking weegie bastards. I hate my own city.
As a weekend Manc, I appreciate concern for our city. But I am pleased that they lost and rioted instead of winning and having a party.
Why? Because they spared us the fucking drivel that would have dripped from the Guardian sports pages, full of English self-hatred, about how these colourful Scottish supporters are welcome all over Europe and how much more civilised they are than the hooligan English. And then there would be more crap about a continental drinking habit over the border, the bloody women's pages would have a fucking dissertation on kilt wearing as a way of taming masculinity, someone would blame it on the Iraq war, and, no doubt, someone else would say they were less obese than the English.
Thank you Rangers fans for saving us from this horror. Now fuck off home, 'cos I bet some will still be lurking round the fucking city like Japanese soldiers who didn't know the war was over for yonks and I am just about to go there.
The behaviour is not confined to Rangers fans - see here (scroll down to Ref: On The Level - Celtic). As far as the prevailing mythology about the respective political/social outlook of Old Firm fans, Celtic supporters can be every bit as racist, sexist, homophobic and downright ugly/thick/ignorant as Rangers supporters are reputed to be--my working day is spent in the same room as one.
These comments are the best on any blogoxx I've read in years -- proper debate and that.
Oh -- and Dearieme should still be killed and shit. Preferably, while he is wearing a fucking Orange in his thick fucking jowly gob.
"Why? Because they spared us the fucking drivel that would have dripped from the Guardian sports pages, full of English self-hatred, about how these colourful Scottish supporters are welcome all over Europe and how much more civilised they are than the hooligan English."
Sorry I don't recognise Guardian footie writers in the paragraph cut and pasted above.
Comment is Free columnists . . . yes
Guardian footie writers . . . no
Ha ha - and surely this...
And then there would be more crap about a continental drinking habit over the border
...would be a step too far even for CiF?
Guardian footie writers *are* mostly despicable though.
They all write as if they were 1980s When Saturday Comes journalists, but with none of the wit or charm. It's the feigned laddishness - they just can't carry it off.
It puts me in mind of that old Fast Show sketch with the bloke who pretended he liked 'Soccer'. All of those strained 'Motty' jokes.
Paulie,
what can I say? Guardian Football Weekly podcast is my must listen to twice a week.
And Sid Lowe and Harry Pearson did write for the WSC in its heyday.
"And Sid Lowe and Harry Pearson did write for the WSC in its heyday."
when they were good then.
“I like the proles taking over shit and that as well”
Yahoo bladdered bottle throwers = workers revolution
“Blog comment boxes -- an opportunity for performance art.”
Yahoo swearing and bawling = performance art
From the man who would “free us from idiot analyses”
yahoo ... yahoo ... yahoo -- you sound like my dad, no really you do sound like him, except he would write better songs.
bottle throwers = workers revolution
No one said that, although a right winger like you wouldn't know the difference.
So then, Rangers in the UEFA Cup Final in Manchester - an estimated 200K bears travel to Manc for the final and surprise, surprise there is a load of trouble. Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs eh? The fact is there is something that gets inside the fans of the Glasgow Old Firm when they travel to England and whilst I'm sure there are loads amongst them who are decent lads and lasses who we'd doubtless rub along with, there are just far too many who are total pains in the arse - obnoxious, arrogant dickheads who boil the piss of the people to whose cities they land on - pissed up, rude, ungracious and in full gobshite mode. Regular readers of this bollocks will know we were less than impressed by the cocks who came to NE1 with Celtic and fucked a load of people off with their behaviour last pre-season and personally I never want to see the fuckers in NE1 ever again. The reaction in response to rebuke from fans of the Old Firm is to immediately accuse those making criticisms of deep-seated sectarian hatred against them. No, no, no - its only them that think that way. No-one else gives a fuck. I know its attractive for clubs in England to invite Rangers or Celtic to their stadiums for pre-season friendlies - the balloons on both sides who might not be able to find their way to Motherwell for an important title decider but put on their tatty replica tops, remind themselves of the words to some meaningless sectarian shite and head for England full of ale.
We've heard a rumour we're playing Rangers in a pre-season friendly at SJP. I hope its shite. I wouldn't mind a trip to Ibrox or Celtic Park though - Glasgow's great.
Available here for the next week.
Utterly with Paulie on Guardian football writers. Mostly condescending tosh trying to sound like smart, I-am-one-of-you condescending tosh, which is far far worse.
