So irresponsible. Here we go again. Will Glasgow ever be out of lockdown?

So annoying. Should be called the ugly game.

Who's fault was it yesterday when the tier 3 announcement was made?

florafoxtrot · 15/05/2021 18:17

Irresponsible is a good word. Do they not give a shit if their actions subsequently cause an outbreak in their child’s school or in their workplace?

I’d expect Glasgow is still reeling for yesterday and it’s just the last thing required.

Aye cause that justifies their behaviour...

I don't know what this means sorry.

What it means is why is it solely the fault of rangers supporters when a) the tier three announcement was made before today anyway, and b) there have been numerous mass gatherings in Glasgow recently for all sorts of reasons that could/ probably have contributed to the extended lockdown?

"Aye cause that justifies their behaviour..."

Aye way to miss the point...

It is so frustrating! Fireworks have been going off literally all day (bloody pointless in daylight too!!)

It's the marching all around the city, they are literally allowed to do what they want. Thousands of them have gathered and they've travelled in on trains and planes and nothing will be done. It's an absolute joke!!

Police stand by and watch it all. The club should be given sanctions.

Covid aside they wreck the place and think setting up a go fund me page makes it all ok.

They are a total disgrace. Celebrate without smashing up and vandalising the whole city AngryAngry

forfucksakenett · 15/05/2021 18:38

I just find the things that they chant sing and say so offensive. It's awful.

No other group would be allowed to March through the city singing about killing another group.

It's hate speech and it's against the law, but police let it go on and everyone turns a blind eye.

The videos from the squinty bridge at the Clyde side show how they are being once again escorted through the city again. It is just ridiculous!!

IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021 · 15/05/2021 19:19

It was a planned day. It's been all over social media. I hate the stuff they sing as well being on the other side and have avoided the town today but tier 3 is not their fault and it's disingenuous to say that.

Sure there might be outbreaks but probably not as outside has shown little transmission. More people likely to need hospital for drunken injuries than would need it for covid. Leave them to it. It's one day.

osbertthesyrianhamster · 15/05/2021 19:21

This is my surprised face. You could see this coming a mile off but of course nothing was done about it.

randomsabreuse · 15/05/2021 19:24

How many times do they need to celebrate winning... is it that rare? Think there were fewer celebrations of a world cup win...

Morgan12 · 15/05/2021 19:30

They are a disgrace.

And why are they obsessed with George Square all of a sudden anyway? Never were before?

Just watched a video and they were all singing about how much they hate catholics. Lovely bunch ain't they.

forfucksakenett · 15/05/2021 19:35

Absolutely. I can't think of another group who would be allowed to sing about hating people in that way.

It's awful. Fireworks going off round here (deepest south side) and we've even had a group of (very drunk) fans walking round our street that goes nowhere. Singing.

Very glad we went out earlier not later on and that dd1 was working a day shift today (bar staff in the East End).

I hate football.

MotherofTerriers · 15/05/2021 19:44

Why is this being allowed when people have had to sit alone at funerals and stay away from relatives in hospitals and care homes?

Total double standards

StarryEyeSurprise · 15/05/2021 20:08

Like last time - water cannons. I can't believe some on the other thread are defending them. As if Barry from Kinning Park is going to go home and continue partying himself later tonight. (!) Glasglow cases will increase the next week or two. I'm livid.

dancerdog · 15/05/2021 20:18

Och, the wee scallywags - whit they like, eh?

mibbelucieachwell · 15/05/2021 20:26

People are defending them? ShockAngry

Predominantly men. Imagine if this was a predominantly female group? The reaction would be so different.

The government is frightened of Scottish football fans.

StarryEyeSurprise · 15/05/2021 20:27

I've just realised that I used a full stop and an exclamation mark in brackets. The anger's affecting my ability to punctuate my sentences properly!

Agreed. What’s it about. Is it the money in football that has the influence?

Little transmission outside when spaced out a bit, not rammed together singing.

No just the Old Firm fans.

forfucksakenett · 15/05/2021 20:52

I can't believe the videos I'm seeing. It's not even the whole covid thing. It's just completely unnecessary. They are fighting and shouting and pissing in the streets as the police watch on! Wtf
