is this sectarian ?

Accrington waits with bated breath.

Unsure, or is it unconcerned, as to the mentality of the Scots, when it comes to religion.
 
Penny arcade was fantastic yesterday.
Only those who can find something offensive about it will be offended.
 
Theres nothing religious about in any way..
But like mentioned someone somewhere will find fault with it..
If anyone takes issue with a national flag being flown then they should bury their heads on friday.
 
Its nothing to do with religion anyway its more about utter stupidity, and we're talking two ways here, not a one edged sword

But there is when it comes to Scottish football.

It's always one of the first thing you're asked up there.

'Which side ya from big man?;

So they can decide if you're a proddy dog, or a popish devil.

It'd be laughable, if it wasn't so sad.

I never disagree with anything you post mate but with that I do..
Having being from Scotland and lived there all my life I can say I was never ever ever asked that..the reason being there are separate pubs, schools and areas..sadly..
either you knocked about in the wrong circles or you knocked about with folk who took no interest in football and that was the generalisation and thoughts of those people..
I grew up in the east end if Glasgow as a rangers fan in a catholic area and never heard it.
Or its just the sensationalism that people south of the border want to believe..

You were probably never asked because you were already labelled.

I was asked it in places as diverse as east end dives, to swanky west end dinner parties, by people as different as Big Issue sellers to players and management of the Old Firm teams.

;)

I love Scotland, especially Glasgow, that's why I moved there, but when it comes to religion and football, it turns normally sane people into loons.
 
I'm only giving my experiences, as they happened, when introduced to someone, wanting to know your religion was one of the first thing I was always asked.

I found it odd, and amusing, because I soon realised it was fun not to tell them.

I've never been asked my religion in a social situation in England.

...and I include my best friend in that statement, after being held up in traffic in Glasgow by an Orange Day parade, only to see him wind the windows down, and join others in shouting mutual religious abuse.
 
orange day parade in city centre roads closed simples avoid area not just because its an orange day parade, any parade march etc you would avoid the area simples:D

perhaps but not when going to different areas and meeting different people..

one possible way to start to stop all this is abolish seperate schools..they dont really have non denomonational (sp) schools in scotland/glasgow.. you either go to a protestant or a catholic one...
if kids were all brought up with the same education then it may go along way in stopping some of it..
I for one am glad my kids do go to school in up there..

and I prefer to be asked which foot do I kick with...;)

true - the sick kids taxi parade/trip more or less closes the whole city centre every year...
its still a great sight to see...
every taxi driver giving up their days takings etc (and donating to sick kids hospital) and time to take the sick kids to the coast for the day..they also have to decorate their own taxis..
havent seen it done anywhere else..
