Total mentalists.

You’ve just reminded me of when we were in Ibiza on the 12th a few years ago and it coincided with a local Catholic festival that actually had a march and flutes playing and whatever. Some hilariously confused faces on show from the usual suspects.

If anyone can’t read the banner, it says “Benidorm Protestant Boys”

I love Benidorm but accommodating this pish doesn’t do it any favours. I know quite a few have a negative view of the place as it is.

There are still marches in Canada and Australia every year so its been exported pretty much worldwide.

There definitely used to be a lot more orange marches in Edinburgh. Pretty sure there was one down Leith Walk until at least the late 90’s. One of my brothers had a flat on Leith Walk and by a miraculous coincidence happened to air his large green and white saltire flag with a golden harp in the middle whilst the march was going past. Unhappy gammons and the polis unsportingly insisted the flag was taken back inside.

Some of their buses would deliberately go back up Easter Road if Hibs were at home.

Encountered them a couple of times in the 80s, with a bit of 'interaction' between Hibs Fans leaving ER and their weirdly dressed hoardes.

I moved down to a tiny village in Hampshire for a while from 2013-2016. Middle of the South Downs, and a lovely quiet part of the world. One July Saturday i drive into the nearest big town to do grocery shopping (Petersfield) and I get stopped by one of these things! One of a handful of places where there’s even a statue of William of Orange in the town square!

I view them as a game these days. I have a metalcore/deathcore playlist that i create every summer (the heaviest stuff i listen to) and whenever i get caught by one I have a game to see if the car’s sound system and heavy music can stop the ****s playing. So far this year it’s Sylar’s car 3-0 Orange Walks 😂

Please make this playlist public so we can all join in your game, I’ve plenty opportunities to play round my bit at this time of year. Probably the most opportunities outside of our NI Hibbys on here actually. Keen to stake my claim as champion

Aye it was definitely on the go in the mid 80s when I lived in Easter Road, they used to meet up at Abbeyhill and half of them were completely bladdered by 9 in the morning, I had to step over one of them on the steps at Maryfield. I recall them marching along Montgomery Street and getting bottled from the tenement windows above.

They'd end up at the Links and take over the Percy, it's actually mentioned in the book Trainspotting when they beat up Renton's cousin the the toilets.

Maybe he should invite the Pope along,? In the interests of addressing the escalating tide of anti catholic sentiment that we hear on our telly's and on our streets every football season as well as when sinister men in bowler hats are allowed to march about our streets?

Nowt as entitled (and in his head as persecuted) as a White Anglo Saxon Protestant.

The white Protestant has had it good for hundreds of years. Pipe down.

I say all this as white and Christened in the Church of Scotland. 100% Atheist though.

GM: John, what are you going to do to stop my members being shot at whilst marching?

FM: Ban all orange Marches for your own safety.

Sounds sensible, but what are the government going to do about folk laughing at them as they march up and down looking like Homepride men on speed?
