2. 'God Save The Queen' gets booed every time its struck up by away fans at Easter Road, the 'Soldier Song' is greeted with silence. Both have no place in Scotland in a non-international match. I mentioned it the other day but some folk listed top 10 clubs they hated which included teams like Lazio, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Airdrie, Man United etc but no Celtic. Why?
I dunno - many (cyber) hibbies are lefties perhaps? the common denominator between the teams you've listed is that they're seen as 'right wing' which is probably largely generalising hokum, but that's football supporters for you. the exception is manure and they're probably hated as the poster-child for football PLC.

But in any case, my point was I don't think you meant 'antipathy' - that means dislike or hostility, and doesn't really fit with what I thought you were trying to say. did you mean 'affinity'?
