I completely agree,. We won the league during the pandemic (after many failed attempts), did you see scenes like that? No.This is not ok.
This is not about football any longer. It is about society. A year. An entire year of people's lives spent sacrificing everything that is important to us as humans in order to help each other and bring our communities through this. Professionally I have been immersed in this for that whole year. Like many others I have also lost loved ones to this disease too. Still we all committed to the rules and restrictions for the greater good.
Today is a disgrace. It is a flagrant disrespect to our whole society. Yes "a minority" will always break the rules. Today was a coordinated and planned event to represent a football club whilst completely disrespecting every citizen of our country who has sacrificed, and continue to sacrifice, their freedom so that we can get get back to a degree of life as we want it.
The partying fans disgust me. Let's not forget they have not actually won anything yet. They are far and away not the worst thing about today though. The things that sting most. The things that bite hardest are:
1) we accept it. As society our authorities accept this. That only feeds to the superiority complex of these fans and this club.
2) the club have not only failed to condemn it, they have actively encouraged it and in doing so have endorsed it as being a positive representation of their club and Scottish Football
3) BBC lack of outrage. By remaining quiet have also endorsed it as acceptable. Double standards at best but at worst much more damaging than that.
4) Even the Scottish Government statement was weak and tinged with a desire not to offend the fans of one club. They prefer to tarnish all fans
I don't care which of the ugly sisters win the league in any year. I just don't care about them at all. I am deflated and depressed by what it means about the country my kids have to grow up in. An inherently unequal society.
Apologies. Have had enough to drink to feel the need to vent!
