I get it especially with this being more a personal issue for you than most (who sadly just use pedophilia and sectarianism and whatever else as point scoring in petty arguments rather than treat the topics seriously) it must be frustrating to just hit the wall of deflections, whataboutisms and so on rather than address the topic. Plenty on our side who do the same too it's just a sad fact of where the rivalry's at that very serious topics have been reduced to "banter" in the minds of many. I think I was quick to point out you losing me a bit on the pedophilia thing because so many of our fans when confronted with very real problems of our club instantly reply "well what about them and pedophilia and the IRA etc" and while those might be issues they have it doesn't change anything about our own issues and is often just an attempt to shift the focus (doesn't seem to be too much what you were doing though). If we got problems we worry about our problems, let them deal with theirs. But I get the frustration if you think you're doing some of that while you don't think they are so much yet you also think we've got the "bad guy" reputation. For me that reputation might be deserved (less today than in the past but still is) - the fact they might deserve a worse rep than they have is aside to our topics.
