We will never know the whole story, so we will see what happens.

It is a pity you judge people on the basis of their religion

By the way, what a result against the catholic scumbags. Twice in ten days. Yee haa
- because people are people, and there are good and bad in all religions, including those who have no religion (like ghost).

That was a football comment Ghost, not a religious one. And I agree with GRFC. It was a great result.

Going by that logic, if Rangers plays Galatasaray or Besiktas and beats them, you will say something like "and we beat the muslim scumbags."

The fact that you condone those comments indicates more about you than all the other rhetoric you post.

Absolutely not. It's purely a Scottish thing. It's a Special term of endearment which is only used for Celtic.

Special term of endearment?

Keep in mind that most of us here are not mind readers and when we read about a team which is spoken about in derogatory/insulting terms, we take those words at face value, and nerves may be touched whenever the religion issue is brought up. Even when you use those words in that way, there is still a large grain of truth in it, no matter how you look at it.....

The impulsive nature of Turks was seen last Sunday at a match in Rize between Besiktas and the local Rize team. A fan from Besiktas was stabbed to death by a Rize fanatic, because the Besiktas fan had accidentally bumped into the Rize supporter. Yes - that's right folks - a Besiktas supporter was killed for no other reason than belonging to an opposing side....

And the madness continues, with these sorts of uninhibited displays of violence and loss of self control. Check the Turkish press for more details.

We are all aware of the incidents that have happened recently i.e. the Besiktas stabbing, the train attacks, etc.... Does it shock you? Maybe we should check out some other major cities and their news recently. Would you also be shocked?
