| 1. Author: BouncyPar Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 08:00 I`ve not watched it yet, but it could be an interesting 3-part documentary on Scottish Ultras, 9pm tonight on BBC Scotland or all 3 parts avaliable now on iPlayer Reply |
| 2. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 08:06 Ultras? Weans with fruity little bumbags strapped over their shoulders, i blame Police weakness/wokeness. I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
| 3. Author: ipswichpar Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 08:34 It really is laughable. Reply |
| 4. Author: Connor560 Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 09:46 The boy Blair McNally is a banger. Typical YouTuber overhyping things. `Scenes, effing scenes` when theres 6 folk at a junior game. C'mon Ye Pars! Reply |
| 5. Author: BouncyPar Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 09:59 Connor560, Tue 17 Mar 09:46 Damn, I was hoping for something a bit more mature and hard hitting. I don`t mind the ultras adding some atmosphere, but I cannae be bothered with the wannabe Youtubers screeching "limbs, scenes, it`s going off" at every game. Eta our ultra scene would look like a girl guides picnic compared to most of Europe and South America. Totally different game there. Post Edited (Tue 17 Mar 10:00) Reply |
| 6. Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 10:09 wonder if it will cover guys wearing knuckle duster gloves and face masks just there to create a better atmosphere by singing songs.  Reply |
| 7. Author: Connor560 Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 11:54 BouncyPar, Tue 17 Mar 09:59 For what its worth, I`ve not watched the documentary just a personal opinion and some of the clips I`ve seen of his content or even a few things I`ve seen when he`s been in press areas I`ve been in which he`s subsequently now banned from. I hope it is a little more mature and will give it a watch but that`s my initial opinions C'mon Ye Pars! Reply |
| 8. Author: Par Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 14:06 Our Ultra`s are extremely young, but not the case for all clubs. Who was it in the mass brawl with Aberdeen outside the Brasshouse / Coady`s I suspect not our Ultra`s. This confuses me a bit have Ultra`s taken over from Casuals or do Casual still exist, as appears to be the case with the Pars fans who were fighting with Aberdeen.

| 9. Author: BouncyPar Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 14:35 Par, Tue 17 Mar 14:06 It`s 4 different scenes. Hooligans - anyone who goes looking for trouble. Gained popularity in the 1970s. Think anyone from Millwall, West Ham etc. Casuals - more interested in the clothes, the style, looking cool. Think expensive brand clobber, decent trainers. Will fight, but would rather not rip their Stone Island jacket. European Ultras - traced back to 1970s Italy, active in the politics of the club, capo arranged the singing and chanting. Think shirtless tattooed muscle men with microphones on top of stadium fences. Most in it for being the 12th man, putting on a show. Will fight, but would rather organise a tifo. UK ultras - modern occurrence of 14 year olds with tiktok accounts, a drum and hundreds of club stickers. Will pavement dance, scream "it`s going off" on Instagram, and weigh 8st fully clothed.

| 10. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 14:52 BouncyPar, Tue 17 Mar 14:35 Thought casuals was just the Scottish term for a firm of hooligans? Post Edited (Tue 17 Mar 14:52) Reply |
| 11. Author: BouncyPar Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 15:05 Dave - strictly speaking, they are separate. In Scotland, folk may have referred to hooligans as casuals, casuals as hooligans, but from an academic pov there is unique differences. Equally, each region would refer to them in their own local vernacular. Scallys from Liverpool, Trendies from Aberdeen etc. It`s an often-overlooked part of football history, understandably folk may not want to glorify it, but the whole counterculture around football violence and fan culture has a wide and interesting history. Anyone interested in football history should take some time to dive deeper into it, it`s not just drunk louts smashing bottles. PS. I`m not glorifying it, or claiming it`s right in any way, but it`s definitely a big part of football now and in the past, and when you start looking at left v right clubs, partisan v state etc it becomes deeper than a group of lads having a brawl Reply |

| 13. Author: Back_oh_the_net Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 16:41 Par, Tue 17 Mar 14:06 Casuals still exist but most of them only come out for big games like the fighting up the toon before the Aberdeen game the wee fuds who dress in black and cover their faces would shyt the bed if they were faced with a square go the well known casual groups in this country Reply |

| 15. Author: Bigfoot Date: Tue 17th Mar 2026. 23:23 I am a 59 year old so perhaps a dinasaur, but I appreciate what they bring to our/other clubs. I slso realise that the Scottish Ultras are not the Italian model of Ultras, but the truth is is we don`t need that. The youth is our future - so I am all for it. That said, surely there is an opportunity missed by not calling themselves the Partizans? Post Edited (Tue 17 Mar 23:24) Reply |
| 16. Author: Athletico Date: Wed 18th Mar 2026. 09:20 Blair McNally is a walloper, no one blows their own trumpet harder than him. Seems to think he created fan culture in Scotland. Anyway, the atmosphere and attendances have gotten better around Scotland thanks to the young team and the Ultra scene, that`s a good thing.... But unless they reign in the pyro, they will die out very quickly. Reply |
| 17. Author: ubisanman Date: Wed 18th Mar 2026. 09:53 I think part two of this documentary will be very interesting. Reply |
| 18. Author: red-star-par Date: Wed 18th Mar 2026. 09:54 I had never heard of Blair McNally before but I thought he came across quite well. If what he does gets kids to get along and get involved with their local team rather than sit at home watching an English team that means nothing to them on tv then fair play to him Reply |
| 19. Author: BouncyPar Date: Wed 18th Mar 2026. 09:58 ubisanman, Wed 18 Mar 09:53 It`s up on iPlayer. I`ve not watched it yet, but it looks like it will show a very different side to how some of the youngsters act Reply |
| 20. Author: BouncyPar Date: Wed 18th Mar 2026. 10:05 The boy McNulty is probably a bit nippy to most folk over the age of 20, but that`s not who he`s aiming at. His target audience is 10-15 year old, and he does what he does quite well by their standards. Flip it round, and you wouldn`t expect a 14 year old to listen to Tam Cowen and Co. I liked the guys from Motherwell on episode 1. They came across quite well, and had a good relationship with the club via the SLO. Reply |
