Don’t normally praise our First Minister but I will do so today. I think she should have said and reinforced restrictions etc in lead up and I think she dumbed down on a few targets today but I do welcome and applaud her quick statement and I think the anti-catholic references are significant. She must follow this up with actions rather than words.
Also the Bishops Conference should be applying pressure at Police and Govt and at the highest level in light of the anti-catholic vitriol.
Lastly we need to be on our best behaviour as any small misdemeanor will give folks the ammunition to load us in same bracket as that mob.

Gene, I see you on so thought I’d ask – any update on your Camino plans

In the BBC’s report which references her tweets there is a reference to sectarian behaviour but not specifically anti Catholic. So the msm can selectively report.

playing to the gallery!
Are you suggesting Sturgeon is anti rangers. That’s what that sounds like. Her comments only play to a gallery that would like the traditions of that club sent packing with the dodo and dinosaurs.
It is a phrase which you seem to have, in a lazy journalist way, just knee jerked in there. Doesn’t match the rest of your prose which seems to post an alternative viewpoint. Don’t know what your talking about proved by counter example so to speak – but what do I know?
Just saying – I might be getting sun stroke. It is quite burning in the garden here.

No news on the Camino yet – can see it being delayed until next year.
The problem is our parish priest is doing the entire Seville to Santiago in stages – he’s done 4 of the legs and has got 2 to fit in before we join him for the last 2 legs. So he needs to get them in first.
Can anyone help me out here. The last time Rangers fans messed up George Square, some weeks ago there were photos of cops posing for selfies. Does anyone have any links to these?
Kelvinbhoy on
Gene – hope you get something sorted. As I said before keep us folk on here updated as am sure some would like to contribute or at very least be kept updated on progress.
I saw the BBC website earlier and thought same but BBC Scotland still has her “anti-catholic” quote further down in report.
Also Michael Stewart in The Sun speaking of sorting this out specifically mentioning anti-catholic racism in Scotland.

A quick google search tells me there are just over 17,000 cops in Scotland. Given they cover 8 hour shifts, there can only be 5,666 cops working at any given time (not allowing for o/t)
Allowing for sickness/holidays and so on, I’d guess around a maximum 4,000 are working throughout Scotland at one time. Allowing for drafting in cops from outlying districts, Glasgow would be doing well to get 1500 to 2000 cops working over 8 hours. Again allowing for shift patterns, that number could realistically be halved to cover 16 hours. So in real terms, getting 1000 cops to police that clusterfuck yesterday would be doing well. Bear in mind, by doing just that you’d have to ignore every other possible police situations within those timescales. In other words, it’s impossible to police 10,000 boozed up rampant animalistic huns intent in causing mayhem. Only option would be is to let them run out of steam THEN kettle them out of the city.
You could of course call in the army…..then you would be treading VERY dangerous waters

Taking over the streets – complete disregard, contempt & unbridled hatred of anyone not of their particular persuasion – an expression of total entitlement.
Anyone who cannot see the close parallels between the ‘no surrender’ Ibrox hordes and the ‘blood & soil’ SNPcult, is just not looking.
Respective hatred of Catholicism & England are the drivers. Independence would embolden, indulge & inflame.

..and in other news…every time they mention their ‘invincible season’ rite, its an open invitation for us to lecture them on what the criteria is for an actual invincible season, they were dumped out of the League Cup by St Mirren then bundled out of the Scottish Cup by St Johnstone, not invincible enough I’m afraid….when bragging rights go wrong.

If the First Minister had gone to George Sq yesterday,and emptied a full magazine from a Kalashnikov into the scum,they would be on here saying,”Aye,only one magazine,she could easily have taken two”
Pathetic,nit picking.

The last time Sturgeon appeared in George Square she was the chief rabble-rouser in a anti-English hate -fest every bit as obnoxious as what went on yesterday – only difference was that not so many benches were pushed over. The sense of entitlement and disregard for the majority was every bit as potent.

Not the biggest fan of the first minister. However, her comments are interesting.
Sevco pr guy must be tempted to pause his creationism dvd and pen a response.
Will the response be contrite? Aggressive? Dismissive? Whataboutery?
Can hardly call it a one off when its clearly not.
One Saturday in the 1980s Michael Foot was in Glasgow on a ‘March for Jobs’. An Orange Walk and a Celtic vs Rangers game also took place on the same day. All police leave throughout the west of Scotland was cancelled.
Nothing like yesterday’s occupation took place.

By ‘harass’ I take it you are referring to me reminding you of your post about selling bananas to Celtic fans to throw at Mark Walters.
The BBC reporter designated to report on the proceedings last night said at one point that the “Rangers” supporters had often brought pride to Glasgow….Try telling that to the citizens of the likes of Newcastle, Manchester and Barcelona.
Think its down to the Councils to ban marches. I know this for a fact,as I remember in the past,the Labour councils were always banning Orange marches.

I take your point, but, if you look at the numbers available, which I think I e factored in, it’s an impossible job. The limited number of cops would need help to break up 10,000 drunken headbangers. Or like I said, let them run out of steam then move them on

Beans on the pie would be a step in the right direction.
Especially with a bit of vinegar on them.
And I think ditching the curly wurly altogether would help.
