The state of this forum at times


.
Does anyone on here disagree with what the man actually said?
i.e. that it would be good for Scottish football if the Gunts won the title

.
If there's anyone who doesn't agree with it, can they give a reason why they believe a Gunts title win would not be good for Scottish football?
Has anyone seen the amount of press coverage Scottish football is getting outwith Scotland this season?
Fact. The Gunts winning the League would be good for Scottish football.
Whereabouts in Edinburgh would you have those who made that statement burned at the stake?
Personally, I want Hibs to win all five remaining games. The trio battling for the title can sort things out amongst themselves. I'm not bothered who wins it.
The image that comes to mind here is George Wallace (Look him up

) standing on the steps at Alabama University to prevent the admission of "negroes."
A vision of Ian Paisley defending Ulster from sodomy - and Rome - might also be conjured by the intransigence of large numbers of Hibbies.
People defending the Corn Laws (Look 'em up

) have nothing on the "Anyone But The Gunts!" brigade.
This isn't Ing-Er-Lund winning the World Cup - which would benefit nobody but the English. (It puzzles me that in London in the 1980s, the percentage of Englishmen who wanted Ing-Er-Lund to lose every game they played must have been well into the 20s and was in double figures even amongst football fans. That percentage today seems to be zero.)
I don't live in Scotland, so I'll not have to endure the gloating. However, if the Gunts win the League, no Hibby in Edinburgh is going to have to wear a green star on their clothing whenever they appear in public. Hibbies will not have to sit at the back of buses or step into the gutter to allow a Gunt to pass on the pavement. You'll not be banned from holding public office. "Primo Nocte" will not be introduced with regard to Gunts being legally entitled to have first dibs at your wives & daughters.
You'll not even be called nasty names.
You'll just have to accept that a bunch of cardigan wearing, wine drinking, Volvo driving, cricket loving, bowls club members will have had their pathetic lives mildly enhanced by the football team they follow winning a trophy.
Meanwhile, in Zaire... and Sudan... and Yemen ... and Ukraine... and Burma... and in that strip of land on the Mediterranean that a lot of you care about so passionately

...
Get over it.
It hasn't happened yet and is unlikely to.
