Rangers fan says he lost job due to support for club and ordeal wrecked marriage

[Bad Robot 21,225]

This Bear has a point as it is a way of life as we all live and breath Rangers and I guarantee the casual use of the word hun was a regular occurrence.

Odd that happened at the Grangemouth plant. Mostly bluenoses over there

What an embarrassment the below is:

 

'Eddie, from Bonnybridge near Falkirk, has taken the matter to an employment tribunal and wants to see the law change to offer greater protection to Rangers fans in the future, the Daily Record reports.

Arguing his devotion to Rangers was behind the move, Eddie wants football fans to be given the same kind of protection as workers who sue over religious or sexual bigotry.

Representing himself, Eddie proposed that being a Rangers fan is a “philosophical belief” worthy of special protection, just like pacifism, humanism and atheism.'

He's got no chance but I wish him luck anyway.

It’s a belief and arguably more real than religion

It's the kind of thing one of them or a Liverpool supporter would do and if it was we would all be pishing ourselves.

Daily Record ffs. Probably a load of pish. Surprised that nobody's sett up a crowd fundraising page for him yet. If it's true then grow a pair and get on with life.

If you were going down the route of trying to get money off them, why would you embarrass yourself like this rather then take them to tribunal for bullying or harassment? Those things are actually real, for a start.

I work for the company involved and have done on and off for years, he's talking absolute bollocks  most of the senior management are bluenose, the ones that are the dark side mostly just have the usual verbal jousts most of us have at work, the rest of the management couldn't give a fuck about football or what team you support, whatever the reason for his dismissal it will be fuck all to do with supporting Rangers.

If the Judge reads this big man then his case will be even further fucked

I don't know the guy but I'm with boys who do, no harm to him but it's just really not true. 

[Bigdave30 8,715]

He’s at it but fair play to him if he gets 80 grand for coming the cunt.

The last guy I worked with from Babcock said you had to be in the lodge to get a job there 😂

[ianb1547 3,767]

Why does anybody think they have a better chance representing themselves than getting a lawyer involved?

........and I'm sure I can do a better job fixing my brakes than the mechanic down the road.........aye, right.

Having had about 3 rampant SNP supporting bosses since 2014 I agree that there is discrimination in the work place due to what team you support and your political views.

As for costing him his marriage that's a bit of a reach but after seeing a photo proves his wife was only there for the money.

The biggest embarrassment is he’s wearing a Champions T-shirt bought at Sports Direct.

100% there is. Absolutely rife. 

[Willis 20,919]

Sounds like he was skyving off and taking long lunches, don't see how he can be like "they gave me a valid reason why they weren't happy but I actually think its cause I like Rangers" 😅 guys fuckin 50 n awl 😅

SNP now Alba Councillor Chris McEleny was allowed to proceed with his claim that supporting Scottish nationalism was a "philosophical belief" when he was at the tribunal after getting punted from Babcock.

There is a lot of that shite going on in work but aye, he needs to man up. He will need to prove all sorts of shite about the company not supporting him after he officially reported it etc.

Easier just punching fuck out a few people then claiming unfair dismissal saying they started it.
