forkboy84 posted:It's not unknown if some stranger starts talking to you in a Glasgow pub they'll eventually ask you "who's your team?" And if you don't say one of Rangers or Celtic they then ask "aye, but who is your big team?" Don't answer that & they'll eventually get to asking what school you went to, because most comprehensives in Scotland have a name after the area you're in, but the Roman Catholic schools are all St This or That. And then they know. i simply tell people i support partick thistle, the only good glasgow team

Valko posted:Imagine all the sectarianism of Ulster back in the bad old days crammed into an area the size of a city, just remove the guns and bombs. I know people who have travelled to Glasgow to go to matches and they are almost always surprised by how tense things are. Glasgow is genuinely one of the nicest, friendliest places I've been, I absolutely love it, warts & all. I lived for years in Ibrox, in an area that is in the top 10% of most deprived places in Scotland. Never had any problems. And it's not like I didn't go out. Plenty times I would walk home from the city centre after a night out through these apparently scary places. It's not perfect, poo poo, while I was there there was a minor health crisis because some oval office had spiked a load of heroin with anthrax & so lots of people were dying quite unpleasantly. There's gross income inequality & large chunks do feel left behind, but the same is true of parts of Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, or any town of a reasonable size. Huge swathes of Scotland are still left behind are the death/destruction of heavy industry, be it mining, shipbuilding, metalworking, it's all hosed. Little wonder folk seek solace in the stables of deep fried food & heroin. Still love it.

Yeah, like I said - some of them I've met seemed like really decent people, just rough around the edges (Mark Renton). I guess I just met and served drinks to the crazy celtic supporters, both Scotch and Irish (The Begbies').

Grape posted:People in old world ethnic conflict areas like that all look exactly the same, and are all extremely insistent that the the other group looks way different. It's a very difficult thing to explain but yes, it is possible to tell a protestant from a catholic in northern ireland. It's getting a lot harder these days now that both communities are mixing. Think about it like this, if you put a white french, german and english person in the same room you could almost make an educated guess about who is who just from subtle little differences even though they technically all are western europeans.

I will take back anything nasty or dubious I ever said about the NIP if they dismiss AS shitflinging without immediately melting and begging for forgiveness. I honestly think this is one of the biggest barriers to the left in public discourse at this point and someone needs to show you can't do idpol-style do better apologies when the accusers are bad actors just trying to find any gap in your armour
