Sectarianism at Rangers or celtic affects us all and beating it requires equal approach - James Black

I suppose this is an ok article but with too much pandering to the other side, it should have been more about highlighting the double standards than saying "yes were bad but theyre bad too"

I can't remember hearing any songs about terrorists at Ibrox since my first game in 1992

I can't remember seeing Rangers fans hanging any effigies at Ibrox

I've never seen a banner from the Union Bears containing anti Catholic slurs 

celtic get away with this shit week after week, yet we are the bad guys. I'd rather every single fan in Ibrox called Clarke a fenian than listen to the pandering shite about how we need to stop our bad behaviour. We sing some songs, some of them use slurs that are political but interpreted as sectarian, that's the worst thing we've done in years. To compare that to everything theyve done is just pandering pish.

Its kinda hard to do much else when the chairman publicly apologises as youre writing it

It’s a strange old world, all this humming and hawing because a fat mongo got called a bad word.

Id genuinely see the point if there was a form of discrimination and it stopped him being employed or he was getting assaulted daily, windows smashed, coins thrown at him, etc but in reality he got sang a wee ditty and because his teams pants were round their ankles he’s tain the huff.

You would think we were the Protestant equivalent of ISIS with catholic heads in the bins around Govan the way the OTT and career offended harp on 😂

 

What a laugh.

That means having to do something resembling actual work. Fuck that.

I think if we click on the link there may be a better chance of getting more positive stuff from the Dude.

it shows the paper that we are interested in reading good stuff about our club rather than that scum across the city.

its the only bit i would look at in that rag.

Has there been a statement from Cel**c on the coin throwing or the orange bastard stuff directed at Boyd?

[Sparkle 53,557]

Maybe, next time it happens to SG, he should go on camera with the watery eyes and trembling lip and play this victim card?

Tiny, but you should see the size of the hedge!

Decent article, factual and fair. Unpalatable as it may be to a section of the support I think ‘DK’ has put Lawell and his club on the back foot with his statement. For far too long they have been anonymous in any condemnation of their fan base (especially their away support). They hold no shame (without even going in to their sordid history) and hold no high ground over ourselves...

There's a LOT of places wont pay a day rate + extras and will pay as little as £3-5 per arricle.

you don't have to agree with him 

dont get me wrong I'm not telling you what you should write or think and I like the majority of your articles, but it almost seems that journalists aren't allowed to highlight bigotry at celtic unless Rangers are also mentioned.

That’s the nub of it right there.

Referees have been the centre of attention over the past few months as everybody thinks there's an agenda for or against somebody else.

But the last week has seen Scottish football dragged back in time with sectarianism rearing its ugly head after incidents involving Kris Boyd and Steve Clarke .

Both were victims of sectarian chanting aimed at them based on their affiliation (real or otherwise) with one half of the Old Firm.

However, only one seemed to cause widespread offence and spur the Scottish FA into some sort of action.

Well said. 

[Iggy666 2,881]

Good article. Balanced and fair in its points. Unfortunately, we all know it'll fall on deaf ears. Its glaringly obvious what's happening at the moment, and what will happen. More condemnation of us, and fuck all for anyone else.

And for the record, I couldn't give a rats flying fuck about catholics or protestants, Ireland or Northern Ireland or any of that shite. But I do see the anti protestant agenda being spun by the media and it makes my fucking blood boil because MY club is being dragged, unfairly, through the dirt. Like @The Dude says, it's either all or nothing.

Na cause that would mean we had just been beat 5-0 and he was using Clark’s deflection technique 

[keithgersbear 3,225]

Who actually gives a shit? People in society pretending to be Catholic or Protestant just to be offended. It's all nonsense.

Address the above then we can all have a discussion about sectarianism. 

 

There's a better article in a single sentence. 

Imagine there were anti-catholic scenes akin to that at Ibrox on Wednesday. SC would have drowned in his own tears.

My opinion for what it's worth is that the ones who are most offended by sectarianism(especially anti- Catholic) is middle class Protestants,professionals like teachers who ironically are barred from taking a senior role at 50% of schools because they are not Catholic absolutely despise Rangers,the Orange Order and can't wait to express their horror at working class Protestants and their unacceptable behaviour.

Boyd and Clarke both had sectarian chanting aimed at them but only one also had coins coming their way and yet strangely that's the one who hardly got any publicity ... something stinks!

Aye Scotland

[Gazzasleftfoot 124]

What we don't want is to go down the route of more legislation. I think the whole sectarian thing is bollocks. If you can't take verbal abuse then fuck off to some safe space away from a football stadium...

[LegendofCoop 17,273]

In the interest of fairness, I hope Warburton, Murty, McCoist, Smith and Advocaat come out and add share their experiences of having this song sung at them, no?? No, because they're not mock offended!!
