Sorry if posted elsewhere but has anyone else read the article in today's Times? Can't post a link because you need to pay to get access to their website.
The article is headed "SPL to investigate more claims of pro-IRA chants" and has the sub-heading "Hibernian have been dragged into the Celtic row". It refers to the SPL investigating complaints that songs supporting the IRA were sung at the Celtic v Hibs game on 29 October. It also says that Hibs were yesterday "forced to defend their fans over suggestions that they, too, sing songs glorifying the IRA". My problem is that anyone reading this who does not know the background will be left with the impression that Hibs Fans are included in the SPL investigation. Hopefully this is just sloppy journalism rather than deliberate but I'm going to be e-mailing the journalist, Tom Moodie, to complain - just as soon as I can find out how to do that!
