rossDas 1,071 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Some people are just too far off the deep end - accusing our support of intolerance whilst grabbing their pitchforks over a harmless flag; the irony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILLGAME 55 4,128 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The post by phileephilop near the bottom is a fucking belter TBF.here's his postAs one of the males having the heated discussion (the younger one for the avoidance of doubt) perhaps I should shed some clarity on the matter. The other clearly aggrieved gentleman had removed a flag without request and when asked what he was doing had stormed off like a petulant child up into the stand. I followed him and asked why he had stolen an item of property that did not belong to him. He refused to return the flag proclaiming that it was a symbol of rangers, right wing politics, racism, orangeism (sic) and nothing to do with his football team and that it was offensive to everyone there supporting Inverness. I asked if he would like to move to the side of the stand and have a reasonable conversation out of the way of those around us which he refused to do. I then asked to have our property returned as he had no right to take something belonging to another person, which he refused to do. He then proceeded to rant about how offensive the 'union jack' is in Scotland and that I was displaying the same symbol as people that were attending an SDL rally in Dundee and associating our club with such people. As a British Soldier born and bred in Inverness I have served all over the world proudly displaying the colours of and spreading the message about ICTFC. His proclamation that the union flag which I wear on my uniform every single day and have seen friends and colleagues coffins wrapped in is a symbol of racism is disgraceful and offensive.I work in England, live in Scotland, have a welsh neighbour on one side, an Irish one on the other and identify myself as British, as far as I am aware we are all still one United Kingdom the idea that you can refuse someone's personal identity because of your bigoted preconceptions is bordering on Facism.I was not taken away by stewards, I left having kept calm though out the incident despite great provocation and the stewards were asking if I would like to report the incident to the police which I refused.As to it's relevance to ICT it's red white and blue, had Inverness written across it and our team is currently managed by an Emglishman, has a Northern Ireland international up front, a largely English squad, and captained by an Irishman. We are have a multi national, multi faceted team as we do a fan base, there are scores of fans who have fallen in love with ICT having holidayed in the highlands from England or Wales so to state that we are just a highlands club or just a Scottish club or a northern club is simply wrong.

rossDas 1,071 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Aren't most folk from Inverness against impendence anywayFrom the gist of the thread I think the negativity generally comes from those insisting that in a football context the Union flag can only ever be associated with Rangers, which is of course arbitrary tosh and most likely a cheap excuse for suppressing the identities of those they don't like. These are often the same kind of fork tongued bigots who like to conflate our flag with unpopular minority groups such as the BNP and SDL.

Nah, there's plenty of Scots up here, and quite a few from the southern belt these days too, it's just not everyone has the strong accent you might associate with the region, for example I've been mistaken as a non-Highlander on a few occasions.

rossDas 1,071 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Aren't Inverness folk apparently the best at speaking the Queens English or is that just a mythCouldn't really say, but it's certainly a bit different from the southern regions where you have local dialects, so it's possible that the highland English is closer to the textbook version.

In fact anywhere picturesque, it seems a lot of folk who first came as tourists have sold up for big bucks and moved up here to get more house for their money and a better environment.

We've generally been rated quite highly for quality of life in the UK rankings so it's easy to see the appeal - so long as you don't mind more limited choices as far as nightclubs and shopping goes.

Mourneview Bear! 63 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Moaning about bigotry and then repeatedly using the term 'H*n' even though it in itself is a derogatory term for Protestantism.I really do despise that.I can handle the cancer in green and white calling us that, but for people to get on their high horse and moan about sectarianism then use that word really pisses me off. It's like giving all non-OF clubs free reign to use any sectarian slurs against us, and it's sad that the word 'H*n' is being used widely by many people who are themselves Protestants.Thankfully that stupid fucking SNP cunt on that ICT board seems to have been put in his place.
