glasgow Football fans confused by choice
scotland
Confusion reigned this week in Glasgow as
supporters of arch rivals Glasgow Celtic and
Glasgow Rangers discovered that they might
have to vote the same way as the other side
in the Scottish Independence poll that took
place on Thursday,
Traditionally the fans of the sides would
choose the exact opposite of whatever their
auld enemies chose, so for instance if the
Rangers fans chose to drink Tennants Super,
then the Celtic fans would only drink Tennants
Extra. Other examples of the fierce rivalry are
the nicknames the two sets of fans will call
themselves, with Rangers supporters opting
for ‘Jock’ and Celtic fans being the polar
opposite and choosing ‘Jocky’.
However the voting to decide whether
Scotland becomes an independent country
has been a traumatic experience for the fans,
as the Jocks discover that they will end up
voting in alignment with the Jockys.
Left: These two fans were spotted running
around Pollock Coutry Park singing
Proclaimers songs, clearly sent totally doolally
by the impossible choice they had to make.
One Rangers fan, who asked to remain
anonymous, so we will call him Jock, said,
“Ah jist dornt ken whit tae dae - Ah hae gain
against th’ selic fans aw mah life.”
Meanwhile a Celtic fan we spoke to, who
wanted to reveal his full name, address, phone
number and inside leg measurement when
he found out that the Rangers fan wanted to
be anonymous, but who we will call Jocky to
avoid confusion, said, “Those gers fans ur a
boorichie ay religioos fanatics - hoo can Ah
vote th’ sam way as them?” (at least thats what
we think he said).
At press time the result of the poll was not
known but there have been widespread
reports of Old Firm fans wandering around
polling stations in a state of bewilderment,
talking to themselves before heading off for a
deep fried Mars Bar without voting.
