Scottish football is stuck in the doldrums.
Lets face it the sfa would never severely punnish the rangers and celtic for sectarian chanting.
Until change at the sfa happens, and some genuine pioneering projects are attempted in the game up here.we will hear it till the end of time.
They are the games lifeblood in the eyes of the association.the rest of scottish football would do well to break away from them all together.
Summer football and keep our own houses in order, and let some other clubs prosper in a proper league thats about the football.until then it will be same old guff.
The rangers are at it here clearly.
If they could leave the sfa they would jump in a heartbeat.

With this ridiculous act of hypocrisy, Sevco might have done us all a favour.
We need to take the chance though.

Appreciate that it's abhorrent and not right, but would kill this issue within a few weeks.

It's possibly an opportunity expose the double-standards in both the higher and lower echelons of Scottish Football and dare I say it, Police Scotland?

Would it be fair in that scenario that it was us punished when the Old Firm have gotten away with it for decades, no. However a precedent needs to start somewhere and it clearly won’t start with either of the Old Firm.

Until we get strict liability in Scotland we will only hear the same platitudes about how unacceptable it is, whilst the songs continue without punishment.

Classic bully mentality from Sevco. Dish it out in bucket loads, arrogantly puff their chests out and spout their bile and abuse but the moment anything is given back to them its all petted lips, faux outrage and "the big bad boys are picking on us" stuff. Pathetic.
I'm by no means saying that just because Rangers are the main cause of the problem that they should receive sectarianism back. The problem needs to be COMPLETELY eradicated from the game, however you really do have to cringe at yet again that horrible mob, who absolutely live and breathe hatred and bigotry, play the victim card. One again poor wee Rangers being picked on, everyone against them blah blah blah
I'm in no means condoning any bigotry directed at Rangers but perhaps it gives them a snippet of what the rest of us have to put up with from them every single match day.

Sadly, although they were founded with the best of intentions, they see everything through the prism of West-Coast/Norn-Iron bigotry.
The fact they don't even get the irony of chanting about a Roman Catholic being an Orangeman is quite typical for them.
The question might also be asked about their lack of weekly condemnation for the weekly sectarian chanting of the Bigot Brothers.

I thought it was Scouse they sung not Orange? I've been attending Hibs Aberdeen games since the 70s and can honestly say I have never heard or seen their fans do anything that should be classed as sectarian.

I remember singing the Soldiers Song and things like I’m no a Billy I’m a Tim in the late 60s early 70s. Didn’t really know why or what it meant it was just joining in. Certainly plenty of Orange B stuff at rangers players and match officials too so it did happen and in large numbers.
I can also remember a bizarre, non football related incident when on a cub camp. One of the older boys took to yelling Fenian B at passing motorists for some reason. It sounded like such a good little ditty the very small version of me joined in wth great gusto. That was until the older boy told me I couldn’t shout that because I was a cafflic. It would be along time before it dawned on me what it all meant.
Sometimes we have no idea what we are joining in with but a little education goes a long way. It may take a while to sink in for the hard of thinking just maybe this newfound condemnation and drama queen shock and surprise from the SMSM my just start something positive.

Just been on the Aberdeen fans forum AFC Chat
Their match report thread is headed
Hun C#@£s 0 v 2 Aberdeen.
Banter is banter but I cannot see Jonnyboy ever using that header next time we win 0-2 at Ibroke.

Nil by Mouth are not the answer. Blowhards who seem to want to curry favour with the worst offenders, rather than challenge them.
I am actually speechless at this ‘Aberdeen fans giving out sectarian abuse’ story. Absolute nonsense.

The rebel songs seemed to "peter out" in the Cave pre Tornadoes era.
Around that time, late 60s, i used to travel on a supporters bus who had their application to join the Supporters Association knocked back, as they were deemed to be "too republican"
Branch bus conveners would remind fans on route to away games "nae rebel songs on the bus"
I don't know if that was coming from the HSA to branches.
But knowing some of the club officials/committee members back then,i would not be surprised !

The fact they ****s are complaining about it could be good for Scottish fitba in the long run. Maybe more action will be taken, although from them it seems like a they started it first mentality and should be punished first. Means the huns can no longer hide when punishments are dished out. We need a strong message.fines.sections closed.points deduction b4 the bigots are drowned out and banished to the past. Clubs fans will soon police their own when point deductions come into play.

Football clubs have been warned that the Scottish government will act if they do not root out sectarianism in the sport.
Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf said the "vile cancer" was a societal problem, and was not just connected to football.
But he said there were far too many incidents of sectarianism around football grounds.
He said clubs must say how they will tackle the problem - and if not, "all options" remain on the table.
i suspect this will be the headlines this time next year, and the year after etc etc, wonder how tomorrows bigotfest will go
