Agreed. Until the police start to apply the law of the land and clubs define what is and what isn't 'unacceptable' this problem will remain. Morons still scream sectarian abuse at games with impunity

re: jamtartanarmy. i am a celtic fan and cant see your point about the red hand flag. its you that has the problem if you find a national flag offensive. do you also find the irish tricolor offensive? did you find the italian tricolor offensive at the recent international. what about barcelona's catalan flags? do you find the union flag offensive when flown by hearts fans? anyway hearts fans are among the most bigoted in scotland, with the nazi salutes, and trouble on gorgie rd everytime celtic visit. pot, kettle, black.

I would agree that clubs, security and the police must take a more proactive approach in dealing with offenders. I have visited nearly all Scottish Football parks over the years and sadly everyone involved some kind of religious or sectarian abuse. I have witnessed 1 person being ejected by the police at ICT and, yes you've guessed it he was not even involved. This problem is a long way from resolution but clubs are starting to act in the right way. This week seen Scotland unite to achieve a common goal. Lets move on and let the world see that we are actually the best fans in the world.

What is the problem here - you still clearly hear hundreds screaming fenian this and orange that whenever Rangers, Hearts and Celtic play here - why do the police not move in and arrest these morons? There is something wrong in Scotland - you virtually NEVER hear of anyone getting lifted for sectarian or racist abuse at gaes but show me one fan who doesn't hear it week in, week out (apart from the hear no evil brigade). It is a diminishing problem that requires a simple solution - arrest and ban these morons from our grounds.

I would suggst that anyone who finds the Flag of Ulster offensive needs to take a hard look at themselves. ITS A FLAG But how many police would have been needed to arrest the Celtic fans who sang Go Home You Huns at Hearts fans. What do we do next arrest the Tartan Army for there anti English garbage.

It's difficult to describe a national flag as 'sectarian' unless it has some type of slogan or letters on it. I think some kind of definitions of what is, and is not, sectarian need to be drawn up. Describing everything including national flags as sectarian (as opposed to, in the setting, inappropriate)is counter-productive.

The SPL definitely need to have a list of banned songs but they do not have the courage to issue this. There is also the problem of legally justifying banning songs or chants. Songs such as the Sash may or may not be against the law (only one case brought so not legally binding), parallel songs such as Boys of the Old Brigade mention the old IRA - the law can't make it illegal to sing songs about an Irish liberation movement whether we would like it to or not. These songs are offensive to some but they are not illegal - interesting legal cases ahead if they try to make them so...
