Video: The Moment the Minute’s Silence was Broken by Hateful Ibrox Bigots

Yesterday we told you about the false narrative that Celtic supporters broke the Minute’s Silence at Monday’s Glasgow Derby at Ibrox. You can now, thanks to this video, listen for yourself and hear the awful sectarian remark from theRangers support that broke the silence for the 66 victims of the Ibrox disaster.

The latest Ibrox club restricted the purpose of the silence to the victims of the Ibrox Disaster and did not mention the death of the previous Pope, Pele or former Celtic striker Frank McGarvey, yet this video backs up our reliable eye witness account that the Silence was NOT broken by the Celtic support but by the home support shouting their hateful three words about The Pope.

READ THIS…Revealed – The Three Hateful Words that Broke the Minute’s Silence at Ibrox

Andrew Smith, writing in The Scotsman had this to say about Ibrox calling it an “anti-Catholic and anti-respect cesspit,” and he had much more to add although he might be regretting buy the dark arts Ibrox propaganda that invariably follows this fixture these days that blamed the Celtic support for breaking the silence. Smith wrote: “The fact that a small section of Celtic’s 750 supporters – it seemed in the region of a couple of dozen – could not remain silent for the minute’s silence to the 66 victims of the 1971 Ibrox disaster was reprehensible.”

No what is reprehensible, Andrew is the supporters who instigated this by their “**** The Pope” shout, maybe with the intention to get a reaction from the Celtic support.

“Common decency frighteningly lacking among the despicable disruptors,” Smith notes in concluding his point and he is of course correct but his target was wrong, probably understandably.

When Smith does turn his attention to the Rangers support he certainly doesn’t miss them.

“This came about 20 minutes after thousands of Rangers supporters, from all four corners, gave vent to the No Pope of Rome chant. Surely not unconnected with the death of Pope emeritus Benedict XVI this week. The anti-Catholic songbook was out in force from the Rangers legions throughout the afternoon. This included the Follow Follow melody with its doctored lyrics regarding the Pope and the Vatican and The Billy Boys,” Smith wrote.

“It remains mystifying we appear to have become so inured to such widescale expressions of religious bigotry in a supposed modern, pluralistic society. It is always worth picking apart the lines in No Pope of Rome and considering the reaction that would be provoked, rightly, were anti-Semitism or anti-Islamic sentiment instead being expressed in full public view by so many. So instead of ‘no chapels to sadden my eye … no priests’, the demand for erasure was ‘no synagogues … no rabbis’ or ‘no mosques … no imams’,” Smith added.

  1. Usual from the Zombie Hoardes.Exact same support follow this Kkklub that followed there Dead Kkklub.We are all to blame for letting this Cretinous Mob back into Scottish Football

  2. Yes the video does seem to show the bun or buns broke the silence, but once it happened, as the video shows, our fans stopped observing it. It is all about finger pointing and virtue signalling from both sides in this scenario, could not give a flying f–k myself, i would ban all these silent tributes, and the clap your hands ones as well. People do not want, or are scared to admit, these tributes mean nothing to the vast majority of football fans, whatever the silence is for. For instance, why has every football game started with a silence for pele ? for what reason, in Brazil for sure, but port vale ? utter nonsense. A couple of years ago Paulo Rossi sadly passed away, for some reason the epl demanded a minutes silence before the games, for a Italian player who had never played in the league, no fan under 45 would know who he was, hardly any player would have a clue who he was, as said it is nonsense. On the faux outrage regarding our fans allegedly breaking the silence at the debt-dome on Monday. The next time you are called a pedo, our club is nothing more than a training centre for pedos, how you have probably interfered with your children, by scumbags you have never met and have no idea who they are. Ask them why their club/clubs were found liable in a civil case brought by relatives of fans who died in the disaster against the club, a lot of them have no clue, they really are that ignorant. Talk of sweep sweep under the carpet by Celtic in regards to the abuse at the boys club ( which was a part of the club, any celt that denies that, is deluded ) which has seen the pedos jailed, victims have been shown to have been telling the truth in several court cases, and they should be compensated for the trauma they endured, ongoing court case I believe. My point is, what went on with the boys club at Celtic happened decades ago, and in no way has anything to do with our present board or any employee at the club. My question is, how can a club sweep sweep under the fabled carpet the manslaughter (at least ) of 66 of their own fans, many more injured, be found guilty in the civil case, they assured they would fix the stairway, they never done anything, and yet no journo in our bonny land has ever called them on it, talk about sweep sweep. F–k them and their fake silence.
