My answer, when I was asked which of the Old Firm teams I supported when I lived in Glasgow, always elicited the reply 'Queen of the South', delivered in my best English accent, and it always raised a titter.

Football has changed since my childhood in the 70's, and having witnesed the worst excesses of the skinhead/right wing organised hooliganism first hand, and I'm glad.

It is more family friendly now, but there is still an undercover coterie intent on gloryifying violence. I recently watched a dvd produced by football hooligans which was sickening in it's professionalism, and organised secret filming of fights.
