| Quote saintyick="saintyick"This is the thing i hate about supporting celtic and scottish football in general.
When i used to be a cook, i work in a well known hotel in stretton in warrington, and there was a scottish waiter there who supported rangers who discovered that i was a catholic and i supported celtic.
I was then subjected at first to what i thought was banter, until it descended into sectarian songs about catholics and finians (Unsure of the spelling) being killed at the battle of the boyne.
It got worse, till eventually i had to report it.
So i just think sectarianism is out of order.
Rant Over.

To be fair I have encountered the same thing. I too am a Celtic fan who has been singled out ironically in the catering industry where foul and abusive bullying seems to be thought of as acceptable. I never reported it. With a family from West Coast Scotland used to being persecuted for their "colours" I learnt to deal with it (clearly in a non violent way). never underestimate the power of a word. Calling someone a biggot usually shuts them up. Even when they clearly are - they hate being called it and it shuts them up. And never use a biggoted expression back to them as they expect you to.

I didn't lower myself to their level.
I said i don't mind banter, but this is going too far.
Then one day i'd had enough and reported him.

| I still haven't been told why the use of the word 'Hun' is supposed to be sectarian, when both sides use the expression, and it is meant to be merely a word to describe 'the enemy'.
Next time I call United 'the rags' I will assume that the Big G will be on my case for being a 'bigot'.

The United and City Banter is different to celtic and rangers dave. In my time, it has never got past just banter/stick.
More often than not in old firm games it goes past that.

| Was at the derby today, thought it was a good game and maybe a draw was a fair end result. It's a pity our hard work from the first half was un-done by a sloppy start to the second but still keeps our unbeaten record for this season against the Yams in tact and we've moved upto third. When Benji's back and gets going I'm sure we'll see even more of an improvement.
My third game of the season, hope to be at the Falkirk game in December and Motherwell one in January. I may even have a season ticket next season if things go to plan.
Also todays Hearts fans really did look the part of Rangers fans without the bus fare.

Three points is hardly walking it and when you have a, quite frankly shocking, record of no clean sheets in 31 away games, nothing is guaranteed.
I would wager that East Stirling have never done that!
