The Orange Order

My Granny used to tell stories of her Granny liberally showering them with horse **** when they marched past her tenement window on Leith Street.

I can't help but think that is a woman I would have got along just fine with.

Same here,my maternal grandparents were born protestant but had no time for the marches and the sort of people they attracted.

I would guess the majority of Hibs fans are protestant..that lot really do love a complaint

Not that it matters but I’d guess most Hibs fans are of no religious affiliation. Certainly 90% of the ones I know.

I just can't be arsed worrying that much about what other people believe.

I'm a Catholic and the family on my maternal side all were. My dad is nominally Church of Scotland but never attends services, my wife is nominally Anglican but in reality an atheist, my kids were baptised Catholic but can believe what they like when they get older.

I really don't give a toss if someone is Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, agnostic, atheist or anything in between and it's not something I would ever ask anyone because it's not a deal breaker for me in any way. It's the people who weaponise any of that to hate others that I take issue with and the OO fall into that bracket imo. Most of the Protestants I know seem to feel the same way, they are a pretty niche little group that almost no one outside their own has much time for.

Somebody on here posted a link a few years ago to a paper called a "Very Edinburgh Riot"
by David Ritchie. It's about a bunch of anti Irish Catholic extremists that got 31% of the vote in Edinburgh in the 1930s. It's well worth reading and it came as a shock to me just how powerful these lunatics were at their peak.

Very sensible and tolerant way to approach it.

There will be many of a certain persuasion who will never see the other persons perspective and will make every effort to ensure their families follow the "tradition" to the exclusion of all others.

Having weighed up a number of religions and what is often done in the cause of religion I much prefer atheism.

This would make a brilliant road sign which locals should put up when the flying bigots visit your area to march through your main street.

I would guess the majority of Hibs fans reflect the Scottish population in not practising any religion whatsoever.

Thank you kindly

I could only listen to the game on the radio and catch highlights later. The usual songbook was out in full force from our visitors. Clear as day coming over the radio. Not a word about it. Deal with that then whine about a banner.

I think sometimes we just don't appreciate the Orange Order and what they do for our culture.

It's a little known fact that Paul Simon's agent nearly signed up one of their bands.

I thought it would be like black people using the N word so surely as a Protestant I can use the H word.

Indeed you can, as can I, but it would make no sense as despite being Protestants we aren’t ****. Thankfully.

To label it a sectarian term is an absolute joke and complete failure to deal with the real issue. It’s akin to being polite to Trump and expecting him to change his behaviour.

A brilliant portrayal by someone who was actually raised a catholic.

For the casual observer, they are largely looked upon as a bit of a joke.

There was a documentary on TV years ago called 'Faith, Flutes and Football' all about bigotry in Scotland. There was a couple featured who were in the Orange Order and on the face of it seemed fairly decent sorts.

Then it cut to them at a tea dance in the lodge dancing a waltz whilst someone sang asking if Bobby Sands fancied a chicken supper and call him a 'filthy fenian ****er'. It was a bizarre spectacle even by the standards you expect from them.

Living in England its hard to believe how sectarian Scotland is. On a football message board up north it comes up every other day. In England its a total non subject. Genuinely shocked.

It’s disappointing this is a fake. It really should be real.

Surely the DUP involved? Where is Arlene Foster and her similarly non-thinking small minded band of haters?

[Rumble de Thump]

The authorites in Scotland haven't just allowed Sevco fans to get away with their sectarian behaviour for decades. They've now allowed Secvo fans to officially play the victim.

I think it was bizarrely helped along by Nil By Mouth, which incorrectly declared that the H word was a sectarian term. Then, more recently, some judges also labelled it as sectarian. The reasoning that was given for reaching that conclusion was utter nonsense and complete conjecture - essentially making it so that anyone using any word at all to negatively describe a Sevco fan would automatically be sectarian. The people responsible for this damaging bothsidesing and whataboutery have set back any effort to wipe out sectarianism in Scotland for generations, not that there ever seemed to be much effort.

Just when you thought Trump had cornered the market in self-centred pomposity, along come the OO and trump Trump. You seriously couldn’t make it up.
