Offensive chants...
[FFA from Scotland on 10th December, 2007]
What other chants are equally as offensive as sectarian chants?
Let's face it, until the clubs actually start throwing people out for displaying offensive slogans or flags or singing songs, they'd rather have them in the stadium, paying their money.
I complained at the blatantly sectarian displaying of the Red Hand of Ulster by Rangers fans at an away SPL match this year, and the response from both the club and the police was that it's not a sectarian symbol. GET A GRIP! Why else would a Rangers fan bring this flag? What does it have to do with football?
The police and clubs will always use whatever get-out clause they can.
Tynecastle 1.12.07. Celtic support indulging in IRA chanting. SPL observer states 'No problem'. Now, someone is not taking this anti-bigotry campaign seriously. If this were not so awful it would be funny. People can fudge the issue all they want, the IRA are a proscribed organisation who are undeniably linked with sectarian violence. To see articles such as the one posted on here make a mockery of this whole initiative. If we are serious about this, and we should be, blatant examples of sectarianism, such as this, need to be tackled head on. I see no evidence that anyone is pressing the SPL on this one and no evidence that the SPL is prepared to act.
The SPL says no problem. That's alright then, isn't it? As I say, someone is not taking this seriously. Someone is not being honest and straight forward in their expressed anti-sectarian stand. Who shall we point the finger at?
