mrwin 393 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My Celtic and Rangers thing...Over the last few months I've had a lot of stick from Rangers fans after talking about their club, being critical and sometimes poking a little fun at what even they must see as quite an extraordinary situation which I'm sure makes them laugh and cry in equal measure.It's usually followed with name calling which is fine, references to "Ally pumped ya burd" which I find genuinely hilarious and more exotic Roman Catholic slurs (I'm Church of England) .Old clips of an interview at Ibrox I did (went to watch Rangers v St Johnstone when Gazza/Coisty were there) are doing a roaring trade on the retweet circuit, as it rightly suggested at the time that I had a soft spot for the club going back to early teens.So why the love in for Celtic Football Club now? Well, my mate, a Rangers fan , taught me the sash as a kid, extolled the virtues of being British and proud, and that Rangers Football Club were a beacon of this pride. And then I started to read, learn for myself the history of the club, my Britishness, Celtic and came to a swift, quite embarrassing conclusion.There is very little (Poppy tribute aside, as my family faught for my freedom of speech and my nation) to celebrate about Rangers in my opinion. Virtual sporting apartheid for many years, not allowing one part of the community to play for them was quite frankly a disgrace, and that alone, knowing all about how one group of people look down on another, would have been enough to move on from those Rangers "supporting " days.Then I learned of very close links historically between some Rangers supporters and right wing nutters who follow Chelsea, who themselves extols the virtues of an anti black, anti immigrant, anti inclusion mantra. Not for me thanks!But why actively then choose a fondness for Celtic? A club founded by immigrants, actively encourages immigrants in its support ( don't worry, wankers monkey chanting Mark Walters are wankers, and I'm convinced in my own mind, from what I've seen that Celtic FC is way more inclusive than not,I'm not stupid). Is actively anti fascist an has embraced Catholic and Protestant footballers from year dot. In other words, a club who would have embraced my religion merely as a sportsman, not the disgusting apartheid that, if I were a Roman Catholic footballer wouldn't have allowed me in the 70's to wear a blue football shirt.I don not support the IRA , so anyone trying that one can with respect fuck off, I'm a proud English Republican, and that's where my Republican fervour lies, a Royal family is a relic of yesteryear, and again yesteryear rather than a bright tomorrow seems to be celebrated rather too much for my liking at Rangers.I'll take stick for this and that's fine. I respect Rangers football club achievements, the many fine players they've had and the wonderful support given to Fernando Ricksen last week was truly touching.But I don't like what Rangers stood for and in many ways continue to stand for, I feel closer and more aligned to what Celtic Football Club stand for.I support neither, I support Aston Villa Football Club, but I've been asked the question many times on Twitter I decided to address it.Stan Reply · Report PostFirst class prick!!!

Inigo 32,526 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 An utterly thick, cretinous individual.What he's essentially said, in one long, rambling and not particularly bright address, is that he's prepared to hate the bad characteristics of one club (and ignore it's good characteristics) whilst ignoring the bad characteristics of the other (and embracing it's good characteristics).Not only that, he's also clearly decided on the merits of each club based on selective reading and willing absorption of propaganda from one side, and therefore comes across as nothing more than a useful idiot for the sellic minded.I don't accept this 'ignore him' thing either. He has a good platform. He needs to be shown to be the ignorant, prejudiced, partial twit that he is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 He's a sad, bitter individual. He also needs to get his facts right big time, it's clear this was wrote to try get under the skin of our fans.No-one wants to listen to him, he'll never have the brain to be a manager, he's slowly dying out in the media world, who actually cares about Stan Collymore now a days?

The Educator 1,572 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Isn't this the guy who has a liking for hitting women?

BlueAvenger 10,194 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Dear Stan Do you really know their history? All inclusive - Which club had Directors of a particular religion for approx. 100 years....? Fascists - Which club had their stadium closed (for a few months)during WW2 for favouring fascists...? There are worse examples of course....! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
