UK, Ireland / English tossers give Brits a bad name in Poland [139]

Ah, but Seanus - most of the Aberdeen trouble is directed at us, rather than perpetrated by us.

The gas attack on the pub full of Aberdeen fans in Olomouc in August this year? The petrol bombs being thrown at us in Madrid a couple of seasons back? In each case the Dons fans were the victims. While I'm not saying we're all innocent, and that there are no scumbags in our support, there is a hell of a lot less than in the Old Firm support - particularly Rangers. After all, being outnumbered and attacked is hardly the same as Rangers fans in 6-figure numbers demolishing a city, assaulting property and persons, the police force and bottling TV technicians who were trying to help.


You do realise that it was one of the Aberdeen fans who was set alight, not an opposition fan? And it wasn't done by one of hers, but by a hibbee being an idiot with a lighter...

Please do not use Rangers and their fans as an example of all Scots. Rangers don't even want to be in the Scottish league system (much like the way other teams fans don't want them to be in it) and want a move to the English Leagues.

A huge section of their support class themselves as 'British' rather than Scottish, and with their bigotry and lack of common decency are hated by non Rangers-supporting Scots, and by many other Rangers fans [the decent ones], as all they do is give Scotland a bad name. The club may claim to be working against it, but there is virtually no evidence of this as the bigotry is part of the reason that so many shirts are sold and people travel from NI for the games. Remember, they released orange shirts under the pretence of it being a "Tribute to their Dutch anager". Laughable, if it weren't so disgusting. Football/Religion, it doesn't matter with the Old Firm, it's just ways to hate people from a different area/background.

Try finding a Scottish Soltaire or Lion Rampant flag amongst their support and you'll see what I mean, it's all Union Jacks - which other teams would never fly. The other, non OF, teams may not get the same opportunities to travel Europe, but you will find none of the [destructive] Rangers mentality with those who do.

Life / Polish birthday party? (video) [22]

In my part of Scotland n. Aberdeenshire it was either dead arms (punched on the upper arm) or head leags (kneed to the upper leg). Again, we kept our birthdays quiet... :-)

UK, Ireland / Polish women in Scottish bogus marriage scam [20]

When you refer to "Scotland has had a history of consummating sham marriages" Seanus, would I be right in assuming you are referring to the English who elope over the border because it is legal to get married in Scotland aged 16 - with or without parental consent.

If so, then I think you could say the same of any countries marriages, especially arranged marriages...
