Can't say I've ever noticed much of a hostile atmosphere towards Hibs fans when we visit Ibrox. But every support has its odd bad apple, and you were perhaps just unlucky. Anybody else experienced any negativity there?

Its true .. I've always found Ibrox to be rather a polite place the few times I have visited:

Q ........'Excuse me, do you believe in a united Ireland?'
A ........ Why yes I do, the idea seems rather logical to me.

Response ...... That's rather unfortunate, however I respect your view.

Q ....... 'Are you loyal to her majesty the queen and her heirs and successors'
A ....... I'm afraid not, I find the idea of inherited status and position to be rather outdated in this day and age.

Response ....... I myself believe that I should respect my position in life and having people I can defer to as my betters through an accident of birth keeps me grounded and reminds me not to get above my social station.

Q ........ 'Are you a devotee of Roman Catholicism?'
A ......... As a matter of fact no, though I do believe in a higher power and would consider myself a Christian

Response ....... I am not a Roman Catholic either, I find the idea of papal infallibility and the concept of appealing to the almighty through the interjection of a third party other than Jesus Christ, like the Virgin Mary or various saints, to be contrary to my interpretation of scripture .... If you have a second I will show you evidence of why I hold this view by pointing you to the relevant biblical passages in this copy of the New Testament I always have in my possession ...... Having said that I am afraid that your obvious devotion to a football team other than the one I support, especially that one, makes me rather suspicious that your religious belief may well be closer to Rome than I would prefer to see.

Your experience my differ and you may find that these questions are put to you in a style which does not follow the pattern shown above .... you may also find that a response from you to the questions is not required before your answer is presumed by the questioner and the response is given in a shortened version to that shown here
