Scott Brown

Rangers fan asking him at the weekend how his dead sister is who apparently passed away at 21 to cancer.......



The fan was lucky he wasn't laid out and had the protection of a line of police.

Quite rightly been condemned by his own fans and looks like his mate has outed him......



Seems lately not a week can go by without someone crossing the line to do with football.

 

Don't think it's a problem just in football I just think it's the way society is going in general.

 

Totally agree mate, it's like the last days of Rome. Folk are uncivil towards each other and this is just vile. I'm not religious in the slightest but always make sure I'm polite to my fellow kind. Football, religion, politics is becoming weaponised it must stop. Without sounding like a drama queen I went to help a old lady struggling to get her door open in Wombwell. She had 2 massive bags of shopping on either arm. Upon helping her to get into her porch she asked me 1 question. Are you remain or leave? I said voted remain through gritted teeth, her reply floored me. '' you need your head testing, I'd have offered you a tea but piss ants like you deserve nothing.'' This was on 15th July this year my sister's birthday so no way could I forget the date. Society is ******!

 

Race hate bigotry and intolerance

Any need for it at football? Or anywhere?

 

Appalling. Rees Mogg and the rest of them have a lot to answer for.

 

I know I shouldn’t but I hate rangers and have for most of my life because of the minority of fans that act like this. Horrible football club.

Glad this fan has been identified and banned but let’s be fair the club had no other choice now it’s gone viral. Makes you wonder how much of this goes off away from the cameras.

 

No different from Celtic fans with there vile anti English campaigns most games

 

He wasn't the only Rangers fan raging after Celtic's win at Ibrox on Sunday;

 

You know what I disagree with this. Everytime I've been Celtic Park I’ve felt welcome and never once been abused for being English.

However I will contradict myself a little here and say I’ve seen a small minority on social media platforms been called out on disgusting songs which they need dealing with also.

But Rangers fans can be heard singing sectarian singing and other disgusting songs game after game. Precisely why UEFA have issued a part stadium closure for their last eufa game and now they’re not allowed away fans for their next fixture because they didn’t take the ban seriously.

I mean I’m not saying Celtic are angels because they’re not but I genuinely don’t think it’s as bad as it is at rangers anymore, maybe people side with the rangers because they wave the Union Jack? I don’t know. But just knowing uefa are involved tells you everything. They wouldn’t just victimise rangers. If it was that bad at Celtic they’ll get a Ban too.

 

Glasgow in general is a mad place when it comes to the religion issue and Football seems to be a focal point for it.
Unfortunately it’s not anything new, just highlighted more because of internet.
Go to certain parts of Glasgow and green on traffic lights are covered in mesh to stop them being smashed, certain parts won’t show a green medical sign outside a chemist and so on.

 

Both clubs are equally to blame for not coming out and publicly criticising the actions of those responsible.
They do on the surface but only to avoid punishment from uefa. But its the sectarian issues which feed both clubs with much of their income. Without it a lot of so called fans would not bother turning up. The football fans among them are decent guys but its the knuckle draggers that are the real problem and there are lots of them. The SFA won't do anything about it which is disappointing but not surprising. So it's left to UEFA to do the decent thing. Fighting and singing about a battle from 300 years ago is just so pathetic.

 

Well i’ve been going up to Celtic Park, with other lads from Barnsley, and i’ve never heard anti English campaigns! On any given day at a Celtic game there must be around 5,000 people who come up from England. The convoys down the M74 are something to behold.

All of this is getting a little off the point. The Rangers ‘fan’ who made that comment is stealing air. Credit to the other fans who called him out. He’s lucky he’s not in hospital. No excuses for that kind of pre meditated behaviour- from whatever source.

 

I think you're right, a lot of folk have abandoned decency & are just awful dicks for some reason. T.V. & the internet I think are to blame.

 

I would also add that sectarianism is a social problem and the absence of leadership on this matter from the Scottish Government (any of them) is particularly disappointing.

 

Absolutely mate. I'm very disappointed in all in govt UK and Scotland and their pathetic efforts to suppress sectarian behaviour.
Lack of action only gives the scum more room to exercise their pathetic petty battles of the boyne

 

You may well not have heard any, but there’s plenty of YouTube footage to the contrary. The anti- poppy stuff is well known.

 

They has been which is always well documented, you could go on for ever with the tit for that stuff like last season 2 celtic fans were stabbed after the old firm.

I think that's what dalestyke was trying to say is not every celic fan is anti British.

I've seen alot about this incident on social media and plenty of rangers fans giving it "yeah but celtic fans...." bringing up someone's dead sister is just wrong and has nothing to do with football glad rangers have bann ed the oxygen thief for life.

 

Well I’m not tit- for-tatting, I don’t care for either of these 2 clubs and I’m certainly not religious. I just simply pointed out that there is also evidence of sectarianism type stuff from the Celtic contingent. Of course not everyone at either club are bigots etc, but from my standing point both sides have a sizeable element of hate-filled bigots and are as bad as each other.

 

Ian. It would be pointless and inaccurate for me not to recognise the sectarian nature of some of the stuff i’ve heard over the years but religion isn’t the dominant issue in my experience, it’s nationality (or perceived nationality). To illustrate, most of the people i’ve gone to Celtic games with over the years from England aren’t Catholic. Even the ones that are wear their religion very lightly if at all.
The British/Irish thing is something else though. That’s been a theme ever since i’ve been going, though even there, it’s a bit more nuanced. Four of the lads i’ve been up with served with the British army and they meet up with two more from the Kingdom of Fife before they go to the game.
However, the ‘pro Irish’ support among the Celtic fans is undeniably very strong, even though 90% sound as if they were born in Britain! I suspect the generations run deep! There’s a whole debate about around how/why that fact annoys so many people and I’ve had it myself over decades “ why do you watch that Fenian scum”. Erm... “because I saw big Sam Leitch when he presented Football Focus in the early seventies showing these images of huge crowds, a team wearing an amazing football shirt with no numbers on the back and a little red haired winger running rings around some big clumsy hammer thrower before scoring a goal.”

It’s not an explanation many understand or accept but it just illustrates that on the Celtic side (can’t speak for Rangers), you don’t have to be a Fenten, Irish, Catholic who goes to mass 6 times a day. Most fans in my experience aren’t.
Last point. The thing that boils my piss, is the l“they are both the same. Opposite sides of the same coin.” I know you have that view to some extent and maybe that’s your experience. But it’s not mine.
I think, unless you have had that genuine experience, and most on this Board will not have, then that’s a lazy, clumsy approach to take - worthy of the very best guilable Daily Mail/Sun reader.

Stands back from blue touch paper.

 

Cant disagree, I think bringing up a players family member is as low as you can get though and fair play to rangers for acting.
