Nice one mate. Comment of the day too! :thumbsup:

[stokesmessiah]

Care to elaborate?

[essexhibee]

What was it?

[Hibs Class]

"I'm a Hibs fan and I don't think it would be a bad thing if Rangers went into liquidation because it would get rid of the bigotry in Scotland and hospitals up and down the country would be a lot quieter without old firm games."

Just out of curiosity, is the author of the "comment" 10 years old?

:agree: :top marks to the guy - 10 years old or whatever - for expressing a VERY widespread opinion which has been TOTALLY ignored by media and political pundits in their efforts to fall over each other trying to kiss Rangers fans' erses and curry approval with them.

By rights we should all be calling these hotlines etc in an effort to compensate for the ridiculous amount of column inches dedicated to why the taxpayer should suposedly fish this bigot-pandering cheating organisation out of the barrel of sheight they find themselves in which is entirely of their own creation.

No complaints or arguments that a large number of opposition fans want to see them go to the sword and that the media aren't expressing this view in any way shape or form.

However, to suggest that getting rid of Rangers would both eradicate bigotry and reduce the number of hospital admissions is hugely simplistic and quite frankly, pie in the sky.

Totally agree ! Rangers ( and Celtic for that matter) are simply " vehicles" which further allow these people to practice bigotry.
The problem starts at mother/father's knee and is inbuilt over the years and involves the respective religious hierachy

:rolleyes:

Nice one mate. Comment of the day too! :thumbsup:

Did it say where he was from?

[Bristolhibby]

Yes but to remove a focal point for bigotry would be a good step though.

Church Schools also to go please. Lump everyone together and ban any religious teachings.

It will soon die out. It's not as if anyone goes to church anymore anayway.

I take it you didn't go too a 'church school' as you clearly have not got a clue what your talking about.

Doesn't seem to be any bother with faith schools in England, only in bigoted Scotland.

Since when did the Old Firm have anything to do with religion?

Are you trying to say that it wouldn't help?

Forget about football for a moment, the world would be a better place without them.

Blimey - well spotted! First newspaper output I've seen which happilly states the widely held point of view that Rangers/the OF/all their sectarian baggage can G right TF.

I for one can see a number of positive repurcussions arising from the scenario whereby they go bust and have to start again with election to Div 3 just like any other team would be required to do in the same circumstances. And yes of course I am fully aware there would be negative repurcussions - these have been widely reported while the positives have been almost completely ignored.

Went to a CofE school down here in Bath.

I just have a problem with religion in schools. It was never rammed down my throat but there was always hymns and the Church had a perminant seat on the school board of governors.

Just my opinion like.

If kids dig religion then it should be up to them to persue it when they feel ready.

Would love Rangers to disappear. We would all be fine without them. Sure we would have to cut our cloth, but it would force Scottish clubs to develop kids, neve a bad thing.

Getting rid of Rangers would not get rid of bigotry but it would certainly get rid of one of its main focus points and thus reduce its effect. As for the effect on hospitals, the Police in Scotland have constantly said that acts of violence take a dramatic upturn when the old firm play, especially the domestic variety. To claim that the demise of Rangers would have no knock-on effect on bigotry or violence is pie in the sky IMO.

Strangely enough other than the numptie supporters I haven't read anyone suggesting the taxpayer should come to the rescue.

Is the tax payer not already bailing them out to the tune of £80m

No and even if we were I haven't seen anyone thinking it's a good idea.No matter how much they actually owe it's the fines that almost double the amount.

Expecting a well argued treatise on the sectarian roots of Scottish football, or the violent impact of it on our society, might have been a wee bit of an ambitious ask in response to a one-line question from a Daily Record journalist. Thought it was job well done in the circumstances, and if there is infantilism at play, it comes from the Daily Record and their readers, not the Hibs fan who responded.
