People need to get over it. It’s a sportsman congratulating a team winning the league. Were people raging when St Johnstone were congratulated by people last weekend?

It’s very strange that a large amount of our fan base seem more upset about Rangers winning the league than Celtic fans seem to be.

You aren't even capable of praising Hibs never mind The Rangers.

No self respecting Hibby would say what he did.

There appears to be one or two self respecting Hibbies (presumed) jumping to the defence of all things Hun across this forum this weekend my old friend.

Not exactly hard to work out, he’s got huge fights in the next few years to sell. He’s spent years taking the piss out of them and Frampton about it, he’s now getting them onside.

If that was genuinely the intention then he forgets the example set by CR Smith and Carling to name but two - if you're going to kiss an Old Firm erse cheek (however unpalatable that concept may be to most of us) you must kiss both cheeks with equal affection to have any net gain.

Those who have supported him up until now won’t stop supporting him because of a tweet he put out, chances are those upset by it don’t care about boxing and want their petty old firm point scoring. If he’s gained a few ticket buying supporters from the blue side over it then I’d wager a bet he’s gained out of it. By the time his next fight in Scotland comes around absolutely nobody with any interest in buying tickets or PPV will care less about his tweet.

I just hope he's no got any Jambo pals. Wonder if he'll congratulate the Hertz when they win the league.

Hardly "gushing". I despise the Sticky Buns but have pals who support them and would say "hats off" to them as a mild way of recognising that they will be deserving winners of the league. In fact I'd go so far as to say it's a way of saying "I don't really respect you but have to accept that on this occasion you have done well."

My hat is staying firmly on my head after yesterday and the The Rangers refusal to do anything to discourage their fans mass gatherings.

A club that stiffed the taxpayer and creditors to the tune of millions.

"Great achievement" my arse.

Exactly. it's embarrassing that this is only their first major trophy

**Anthony Soprano** · 08-03-2021 11:03 AM

I'll still watch his fights and want him to do well as a Scotsman, but he does come across on twitter as a bit of a roaster with his anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine pish. And congratulating a team is fine, someone in his position should be neutral to maximise support but for a self-proclaimed Hibs fan calling them the teddy bears and sucking up to them like he has makes me cringe. Screams "Please like me Rangers".

Being anti lockdown isn’t pish, it’s a matter of opinion and even the lead scientists in the country have differing views on its effectiveness.

We really are sensitive souls sometimes! I’ve messaged a couple of Rangers mates congratulating them and telling them to enjoy the celebrations, does that make a Rangers sympathiser also?🤔 The same Rangers fans who congratulated me and took it on the chin after 2016, not every Rangers fan is a knuckle dragging bigot.

No no, of course not. Only the vast majority.

I must confess to texting a Hun pal “ Congratulations on your first top league title , just the three behind us now !
Different club but the same horrible fans .
Josh must have never had the misfortune to sit in the away end at Greyskull and try and watch the game and dodge the coins and cups of piss , thrown by the Orcs .

Being an anti-vax is a bit moronic though.

Not just moronic but dangerous too, the anti-vax movement is causing real issues in healthcare now and we are getting outbreaks of previously controlled diseases. I watched a post JT had on twitter saying I don't need vaccines because I am young and healthy. He didn't mention that he, like most other in this country, he has gone through all his necessary vaccines as a child. He should travel to poorer countries in the world where measles, mumps, rubella and polio still kill hundreds of thousands kids each year due to the lack of vaccines.
