Before I left my flat in the morning I told one of my flat mates that I was going to the game. He told me in a very serious way that I should say I'm a Protestant and also be ready to fight a large group of people. To which I said I'm always ready, and left. After my English literature class on Thursday I went to meet the American girls at a street corner. While walking there I passed a biker gang of seven to eight year olds, I very impressed that they didnt have training wheels. After getting to the bus station the one of the girl who will continue to remained unnamed, desided to go shopping in the station shop expecting the bus to wait for her. It did not, me and one of the girls jumped on the first bus and the other two went on the second bus. After about two hours on the bus and about twenty minutes in the Glasgow bus station, our group started to walk towards the stadium on the other side of the city. Insead of walking all of the way there, which I geuss was a very far hike. We made the decision to take the greatest subway system in the world to the other side of the city. The greatness of this subway system was completely due to the structure of the subway tunnels around the city. In a normal subway system there are branchs of train routes and a central hub. Not in Glasgow, there system went in an oval. They had two trains going in either direction that were most likely made in the 1960's for very short people. Being the tailest of my group I of course was mooshed into the door enterence of the train, that had enough head clearence for someone that was about four and a half feet tail. I was also face to face with a middle aged women going home with her shopping and due to me being tail and she being short I was forced to lean over to make my head level be slightly below her neck level.
We finally get to the stadium, get some food and a scarf (naturaly) got some tickets and went in. We got to our seats and some dude was sitting in my seat. the girls sat in their seats on the other side of the guy and I was cool was sitting next to his girl friend and flirting with her through the game. But the girls said something to him and he moved and apologized to me, blaming everthing on his girl friend, which was humorous. The man on the other side of the girls asked them if they were Protestants to which they all replied "NO NO NO WE'RE AMERICANS."
The game started like a Bruins vs Rangers NHL game then became more tame over time. The Glasgow Rangers were playing really well. They were up by one for most of the game and with about five minutes left they decided not to play defence anymore. They didnt defend the zone, they didnt challenge the ball at all. So the flipping Sporting ending up scoring with like two minutes left and pissed everyone off.
After the game we hopped on a bus back to Edinburgh and called it a night.
