I am sure most of them drew their own conclusions on ya. Did you not back Arsenal -2 as well, that was banker of the day

Fiver double wasn't much,  but sure better in my pocket than Paddy's

Maybe I'll give it a miss. I prefer sport.

Yes - disgusting sectarian hatred and intimidation in those clips.

Plenty of unsporting behaviour though, would you not agree?

Where was the disgusting sectarian hatred in the clip of the reception shown to Ranger's players arriving at Celtic Park?
I heard shouts of Bawbag? cúnt?

Neil Lennon is totally out of his depth, he has lost all 'must win' games he has been in charge of to date.

Yes. I was shocked. I've taken to the bed for the afternoon.

I don't know what those words mean.

Anyway, I'm not sure I understand these posts, unless they're attempts to pretend that Celtic-Rangers is a wholesome sporting rivalry devoid of hatred, sectarianism and naked aggression. Is it being claimed that the scenes in that clip are untypical of the atmosphere that surrounds Celtic-Rangers encounters?

Nor do I understand the ludicrous suggestion, implicit in the posting of clips some Meath apes having some inane fun and in the comments that followed, that Meath-Dublin rivalry is somehow equivalent to the Celtic-Rangers hatefest.

Glad you agree. How could you not I suppose.

I think the point being made is that the earlier clip you posted contained a bunch of mindless yobs. The video of meath fans trying to get a Dublin flag was not much different in that they too were mindless yobs.

You provided the link to the Rangers team arriving at Celtic Park,
you then wrote in post  http://gaaboard.com/board/index.php?topic=17703.msg871243#msg871243
"Yes - disgusting sectarian hatred and intimidation in those clips. "
as if to say "disgusting sectarian hatred and intimidation" was present in the Celtic park clip but is not present in the Meath supporters clip.
In fact there was no sectarian abuse in the Celtic park clip.
All 3 clips are showing examples of similar levels of drunken moronic behaviour.
Though imo, the arse wipe video stank.

Exactly

[Hardy]

Sorry - I  don't get this at all. Why are people trying to draw an equivalence between Meath apes acting the clown and a mob spewing poisonous abuse at their opponents? You don't notice a difference of degree?

Is the whataboutery of posting clips of Meath fans acting the ape an attempt to deny the rotten core of the hatred between Celtic and Rangers fans? How does that work, exactly? Even if my clip wasn't well chosen as an example of the worst of what takes place between the supporters of both sides in Glasgow and further afield, does this torpedo the contention that Celtic-Rangers is largely a sectarian festival of hatred? Why seize on this as some sort of proof that this is not the case? Is it the contention that Meath-Dublin rivalry is no better? Otherwise, what exactly are your posts about?

When was the last time you heard of Dublin fans murdering Meath fans or vice versa?

I agree that Celtic Rangers is much worse than Meath Dublin but you posted up a video which was countered with something similar involving Meath and I just pointed out the similarities of both. Its a bit like the time I posted a link to Di Cannio catching the ball as an "example" of good sportsmanship  while you and others replied with loads of pictures of him doing Nazi salutes (a side of him i was not aware of). Did that torpedo the notion of there being good sportsmanship elsewhere in the world?

[Hardy]

"Something similar" - therein lies the fallacy.
