Renton actually pays loyalists a compliment at the beginning of that scene, saying that they are one of only a few communities left in society who have a sense of identity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny and spot on. No need to be so serious. I'm sure you've been in many a scene like that yourself. I know I have, and also plenty of people do use 1690 as a pin/password etc. Nothing up with having a laugh at yourself. Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat... Never take yourself too seriously.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly the same but our support are often villified and others assume many things about us cos we follow a certain team. Well they can piss off with that, i wont change my feelings or behaviour to fit in or because i am worried what others might think. I dont expect any other Gers fan would do so either.  Correct wear out colors with pride and remind them at every opportunity on what they are, parasites trying to destroy their host Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's a cheap shot intended to reinforce the undesirable subculture of idiots impression and to mock us yet some Rangers/Unionist people lap it up.  They would never have touched an IRAoke the same way, because the type that made that are much more comfortable ripping the piss out of the PUL community, probably because they hate it more. The PUL community are inept at winning the propaganda battle. Seeing this as funny as opposed to an insult is just another example of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typed out the same thing about 5 times that if it was about Muslims or Catholics it wouldn’t make the film regardless and that it panders to those who slaughter orange walks but never say a peep about republican walks, but didn’t want to seem like a greeting faced bastard who likes the sound of his own voice  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me for using the word "dehumanisation" as i'm aware it appears hysterical and over the top but it's true. A journalist in a national newspaper completely fabricated a story that Rangers fans "used children as human shields" and every two-bit journalist in the county lept to her defence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never take yourself too seriously.  its one thing having a laugh its another playing to and encouraging the stereotype that were all knuckledraggers whos main concern is the elimination of catholics people believe that the 12th and 1690 are remembered not as a celebration of our culture, but because we killed lots of catholics, loyalists didnt defend their communities during the troubles they just murdered catholics, we dont hate celtic because they are our biggest rivals and are terrorist supporting scum we hate them because they're catholic. We don't care about ourselves our only concern is the elimination of catholics all this does is play into that apparently the authors next book involves and is set on the date of the Hibs final where the riot occurred, will it be funny and catchy if it features scenes of Rangers fans throwing their weans in front of riot vans? folk bang on about the way we are portrayed in the media etc then when a major motion picture, probably the biggest scottish film of the decade, features Rangers fans in the stereotypical knuckle dragging bigoted fashion folk lap it up and play into the stereotype, then when the media moan about us singing it they'll act offended and the film was shite anyway. Its funny and catchy if youre about 12 years old and like discovering new swear words and naughty songs, yet you get full grown men giggling like wee lassies about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Shaw 30,136 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Rabid tarriers take the piss in rabid tarrier film shocker... FFs it's a 3 minute scene in what is overall a shite film, people are reading too much into it. Having a wee laugh about it and jokingly saying its a catchy tune is hardly playing to and encouraging the stereotype that we're all knuckledraggers or that we're 12 year olds learning new swear words and naughty songs and giggling like wee school lassies. We used to laugh at the tarriers getting all offended by everything and anything, some of us are getting as bad... Beep beep all aboard.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It’s only laughing at ourselves if one of our own had written the scene. Considering it was written by a rhabid bitter taig cunt, I would say he knew exactly what he was trying to say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
