Sky Sports Racism And Sectarian Reporting


Recommended Posts

From the last census Catholics didn't form the majority, or anywhere near it. It was the second largest group after 'no religion'.

So its no a fact then.

Still swarming with them round here.

Most are jakies or junkies tbh.

I doubt the number of Catholics in glasgow has changed much recently.

I was under the illusion they topped the census but you dispelled that myth.

I could've checked but i took the last posters word on it...a bit like i'm doing now with you i guess.

At times like this I always take comfort from the late great Christopher Hitchens. Until articles like this appear in Scottish newspapers then I will not buy them. In fact I dont think i've bought a newspaper since i read this 5 years ago.

Don't worry, folks! The DR is back on the ball with 'sectarian' abuse, now that it's anti-sellic again. Note 'An Aberdeen fan' rather than 'a football supporter' or similar..

Twitter troll who branded Celtic star Leigh Griffths a 'fenian c***' is suspended from work

  • By Alan Shields
THE sectarian abuse from an account understood to belong to an Aberdeen fan came after the Dons' 4-0 defeat at Celtic Park on Sunday.

AN Aberdeen fan has been suspended from his job after a Celtic star was sentsectarian abuse online.

Hoops striker Leigh Griffiths was called a “fenian c***” on Twitter following the Dons’ 4-0 defeat at Celtic Park on Sunday.

The tweets came from an account understood to belong to Mark Simpson, a recruitment specialist from Aberdeen.

The user @markdandies also told Griffiths, who scored in the game, that he was an “embarrassment to Scottish football”.

The comments provoked a backlash from fellow fans online and police are now investigating the tweets.

A police spokeswoman said: “Inquiries are at an early stage.”

Simpson’s personal Twitter account has been deactivated.

And angry bosses have suspended him from his job at Aberdeen firm MAC Resourcing as they look into the allegations.

MAC director Damian Skelly condemned the tweets and said disciplinary proceedings were under way.

He added: “We expect all our staff to behave in a way that is appropriate – both inside work and outside.

“The employee has been suspended pending an investigation which is ongoing.

“We are disappointed, disgusted and saddened by it and we will take the appropriate steps to deal with it internally.”

The probe came after a separate allegation of offensive Twitter comments in the wake of Sunday’s game, which led to a 19-year-old man being charged.

The tweets are understood to relate to 11-year-old Celtic fan Jay Beatty, who has Down’s syndrome .

So a faceless 19 year old internet troll gets arrested within a couple of days but a scumbag that lobs a bottle at a 10 year old boy a few weeks ago still not caught. Seriously our priorities in this country are wrong.
