R☆☆☆☆☆s catholic players

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Looks like the majority of these mutants cross themselves when entering the field of play, wonder what they think of the **** singing about their religion?

[MWHIBBIES]

They couldn't care less as long as they get paid.

Even some on here have said they would join that club for enough money.

They don't care one bit.

[BILLYHIBS]

I remember Marco Negri saying he could not believe the anti catholic culture at the club did not know what he was getting into

Happy to take the orange pound though

I remember Alex Ferguson writing in one of his books saying he was treated like a pariah for marrying a Catholic and wishes he had made a stronger stand

Horrible despicable club

Time for Hibernian FC to grow a pair and ban their toxic fans from our beautiful Stadium

Apparently they now don’t mind foreign catholics.

Their current venom is directed at Irish or descendants of Irish catholics. Their club’s signing policy would seem to align to that. Off the top of my head I can’t recall them signing an Irish catholic.

I'm pretty sure Neil McCann and Michael O'Halloran came from that background but not a lot signed from a community thats always made up a sizeable proportion of Scottish professional players. In terms of the direction of their hatred its very much people with Irish-Catholic backgrounds or ignorantly perceived to be from that background because of who they support. Words like "Fenian", "taig" and "tarrier" are specifically anti Irish-Catholic.

Neil Lennon succinctly called it for what it actually is. Racism.

I’m amazed that - to date - he’s been the only one who has actually ever had the balls to call it out for what it was / is.

Fair play to him.

It’s pretty uncomfortable that 21st century Scotland allows an overtly racist institution to exist and thrive in plain sight.

[The Harp Awakes]

Unfortunately Scottish society is riddled with these mutants which is why the Rangers and their fans always have in the past, and always will in the future get away with their racism week after week.

When you think back over the last 50 years there's been so much progress across the world in having zero tolerance towards racism and prejudice.

Sadly Scotland is like the Land that Time Forgot.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

I like a bit of hyperbole now and again, and have no compunction in calling them all out as neo-Nazi white supremists.

Aye, season tickets set on fire and supporters buses cancelled by those maniacs.

"Fenian" isn't, though. The Fenian Brotherhood was a republican, rather than a Catholic, organisation, with many prominent Protestant members.

That it was been twisted into what it is now (has anyone ever heard the word without "*******"?) says so much about their collective ignorance.


I recently heard, for the first time, the expression "bouncy-castle Catholics", which made me chuckle. There must be a similar term for these 90-minute Proddies.

I’m sure once Negri realised what was going on fully, he barely celebrated scoring for Rangers, just shaking hands with his team mates.

You should check him out nowadays. Has thrown any credibility he had back then right out the window.

Each to their own but I've never got the rangers fans who are catholic or have married into a catholic family and then come out with all this crap.

A great bunch of lads.



A long time ago now, granted, but while the sectarian signing policy has long been disposed with, they’ve not really moved on very far from this bitter hatred in the 35 years that have since passed.

Never met a Catholic Rangers fan, it seems so contrasting. Like a Jewish Nazi, it just doesn’t make sense in my mind. They despise us and all like us, they make it perfectly clear, why would you want to be associated with that if you’re a Catholic?

I know one well, cross between an oxymoron and an ordinary moron.

Edinburgh born, when his daughter wanted to go to a football match he took her to Easter road because he didn't want to expose her to any of the sectarian singing.

Funnily enough there are plenty of them in Glasgow. I don't know how Catholic of course, but I know a wee guy who made his Holy Communion in a rangers tartan kilt. Many people come from Catholic families but support the team their mates support. I'm sure they don't shout about at ibrox and consider the bigotry to come from only a minority.

They asked him wheather his marriage took place in a chapel or a registery office, when he he told them it was the later , they said " that's ok then " , he said that he should have told them to ****** off and felt he had let his wife down. My dad always says the never got the manager's job at Ibrox because he married a catholic

He never got the job at Ibrox because he told them where to put it.

Weirdos. That wee laddie should’ve been given a million Hail Marys as penance.

I'm fully aware of the historical context of the word "Fenian" and that many of its members were Protestants.

I'm also fully aware that language changes over the centuries and that in the 20th and 21st centuries, it's become a term of abuse used by fans of The Rangers towards anyone of, or perceived to be of , Irish Catholic heritage.

Sorry, I wasn't having a go at you or your post. Apologies if it came across that way.

It was more about my frustration at the hijacking of the word for their own ends. Like I say, it's never used on its own; it always has an actual abusive word tacked on.
