Okay, maybe a week ago, I saw a YouTube clip of some "Billy Boys" singing their hate songs . . . I have to tell ya, it was like the movie "Deliverance" meets Mein Kampf. Are they just the lunatic fringe? Or do they command a greater following?

Are they just the lunatic fringe? Or do they command a greater following? Well now your touching on a subject which is dodgy if your a weegie. Religion is the basis for many of the Sellick and Hun supporters. Then you have the children of such inbreds. Religion and Fitbaw isn`t as relevant in Edinburgh or any other city which has 2 teams, but its still there. Only on a very smaller capacity. Now take me for example i was brought up a Protestant. I am supposedly supporting a catholic team. i am not alone loads of supporters like me support Hibs. There are plenty of catholics that support Hertz. Now you said it was like Deliverance & Mein Kampf. I would describe the weegie`s or any other bigot who applaud that sort of behavior as not being of sound mind and genetically primative. But i like your quote better ;D To help you with the comparison think Weegie = Redneck. Its a joke if any rednecks read this ;D I have known a few since i have been here and they very nice er persons

The only thing I would add to that is this sectarian crap is a cancer throughout Scotland, not just limited to Glasgow unfortunately with all of the other glory hunter tag ons. Airdrie - Protestant town, Coatbridge - Catholic town etc - pathetic. Some of the wee villages in Fife are not much better - anyone remeber the East Fife game with all the Huns coming along for a wee box? Hated living in Kirkcaldy for that reason. Have to add this is not just a Rangers problem - Celtic are just as bad with thier some of their Republician songs. 90% of them would not know what the inside of a church or chapel.

Celtic claim to be "Hollier than thou" but that's understanable coming from the "best supporters in the world" Both the uglies have ignored this for years along with the SFA and the polis....hopefully UEFA will force all of the above into action

Unfortunately it's because they have been members of both organisations,when you see the chief of police(In the 80's!) for Edinburgh at the front of an Orange march with his sash on you know what side his bread is buttered!
It is definitely a pestulance across scotland,from east to west,you don't notice it as much in Edinburgh(anymore),i don't know if thats because it's more of a international city(or try's to be),but you don't have to go far to be reminded of it especially the run upto and during Marching season! It's like all of a sudden you find roaches!
you drive thru the small towns east or west of Edinburgh,there they are banging their big drums celebrating 1690 and all that crock. It's pretty sad,and one of the main things that would have to change if Scotland ever became somewhat independent!

'Smack', in what kind of way do you mean there sporting Ahhh, yes -- there could be some ambiguity. Smack as in "Smackdown Saturday Night", not as in Diego Maradona's drug du jour. Of course if those stuffed shirts indulged in some chemicals, they might make better decisions.
