Listen to the Ibrox fans (yes plural) that broke the silence to share their hatred

It was too good an opportunity for the usual suspects to resist.

Before Monday’s Glasgow Derby a minute of silence was being held for 66 fans that lost their lives at Ibrox in 1971.

The home club had refused to mark the deaths of their own fans until 1991 when David Murray decided that the event should be commemorated.

Since then there has been a minute of silence before the first match of the year, on Monday some home fans couldn’t keep their hatred in check to respect those that had perished in the same stadium 52 years earlier. Their level of hatred is so overwhelming that 60 seconds of silence was too much of them.

From their places on the gantry in the Main Stand some reporters listened from a distance and jumped on the opportunity to bundle both sets of fans together, it is all they know, something that they have made a career out of.

Usual Toxic Scottish Media going with the dreadful Timothys breaking the minutes silence yet……. https://t.co/lcMlzF9fFs

Before the minute had ended there was name calling back and forward with the 710 Celtic fans in the stadium, clearly from the second clip above the favoured three word call of Ibrox fans broke the silence, in respect of their fellow supporters.

Once the match got underway Sky Sports happily broadcast thousands of fans singing their hatred of Catholics, chapels, priest, the Pope. All of the usual match-day tunes.
