I’m decidedly hoops. From way over here though (my fav hockey team is NYR)
I have a certain esthetic appreciation for the Gers, until they start on about their fealty to monarchy.

I only mean that the club name & colors are the same. There is no connection beyond that. I was at a Stiff Little Fingers show (on 9/10/2001 btw) & my and my buddy who have been seeing them for decades in various incarnations were back stage having a brew & just shooting the shit. Their rythem guitarist Ian McCullah *sp noticed I was wearing a NY Rangers pin and said he admired it.
Of course I gifted it to him immediately. Before I left he ran after me and gave me a gers Jersey pin. Well, I kind of knew better but was touched and dutifully pinned it on my jacket. When I got back to my neighborhood local I was treated like a war criminal. Lol. Which of course reflexively made me adamant about not taking it off. I did though eventually. One guy I knew stopped talking to me that day and even though I’ve only seen him in passing sporadically still ignores me.

Ahem, yes, this might be a similar moment - nightshift psychosis is up and full on. You could go QPR, heard of them? They’re blue too. All will be forgiven, auction the pin etc, clean slate


Huns are unique for sycophantic bootlicking to monarchy but Scotland’s Orange lodges are still rammed full of polis, legal pros, old school tie networks, on and on. Scotland provided the British empire with a steady flow of enthusiastic civil and ecclesiastical servants and their support for crown over Ireland’s dominion has been insidiously murderous, at least until the GFA

A Premier League move floated by Old Firm boards might‘ve moved beyond preliminary phases yet it never got anywhere. Celtic, Huns, Hibs, Jambos and Woolybacksdeen could all survive in the top flight - Welsh teams play in the English leagues albeit shit as fuck - why not Scottish? Because the Scottish league would be dominated by whoever was left before collapsing. If you look at English “yo-yo clubs“ who by definition rise and fall via promotion and relegation (all genuine football watchers could list a bunch), no offence to any but how are Glasgow’s and Edinburgh‘s squads and budgets not going to liven up every fuckin game played? Madness

Not every Hun is a cunt, mind, far from it. Half our old neighbours were CofE and my Gogledd Mum. Both catholic and anglican churches - all their property, assets and investments - should be fully audited before being completely disbanded and everything, every Penny from every prayer-candle donation, given to the huge swathes of survivors of historic (and contemporary) institutionalised childhood sexual abuse.

I don’t think I have it anymore. Hurricane Sandy took care of that & everything else I owned in 2012.
It fascinating & funny to me though.
Sure there are fights, sometimes involving large groups of people to the point players on the field have stopped and watched.
NY Jets v Philly Eagles, Rangers v Islanders & NJ Devils, Mets v Yankees. But not on the same scale by a long shot..

Would have preferred Inter to win the CL, but I like Enrique and it's a nice story to have him win it again after all the shit he's been through losing his daughter.
