Head of the OO said that did he not? A few days later some mother painted K.A.T (Kill all taigs) in the finest red, white and bloo face paint on her 8 year old daughters face when the oranges went on a few walks round various towns and cities on July 12th.
Chance have you got....
Phil Mcthingy-ma-jig is a complete knob i'll agree with that. Attention seeking prick.
WTF has he said/published that has been "bigoted" though?
Police Scotland won't do owt either. They were making big noises when a few hundred brits in uniform marching around ibrox singing hullo hullo, bouncy, sash, billy boys etc and like most of these things they'll go quiet, hope everyone forgets and will sweep it under the carpet. They've got more important things to be doing like spending a few grand ensuring Hibs fans can't sneak a can on the train to Berwick...Quote:
Police "Scotland" claimed that existing legislation was strong enough to deal with the scourge of sectarianism.
Well it has been used to good effect in the East of Scotland.
I believe more has been done to address sectarianism of late, but you have to ask why it's never been properly addressed ? Who did it serve not to address it? They have little if any (let's call it traditional) sectarianism in England. Why is it so prevalent in our society? I would suggest sectarianism in Scotland has always been beneficial to those in power at Westminster.
One of the reasons for the lack of sectarianism in England is that CofE is very, very close to Catholicism in all it's rites and rituals. We in Scotland (and Ireland) have suffered from it due to the fire and brimstone Protestantism of John Knox and his successors.
His constant references to Rangers fans as Nazi sympathisers or KKK sympathisers, his pet nickname for them is "Klan" (this has also been used with frequency by Haggerty). His entire output for months was been aimed at de-humanizing the entire support of Rangers Football Club with his lazy clichéd nonsense.
Whilst there is no doubt that Rangers have a lot of complete bell ends in their support and a lot of bigots to say all of them are is just ridiculous. Don't forget as well the Sun were going to his book "Downfall" (yes I got reference of the title too) but the Sports hacks did some digging and read his blog (it was the piece called 'the Incubator' that did for him) before running the proverbial mile from it. They said he was "tarred with a sickening sectarian brush".
I didn't buy his crap 2 years ago and I'm not buying it now.
Cannot agree with that. The vast majority of these numpties have never sat in a church and listened to a fire and brimstone minister preaching. I go to church most Sundays and I couldn't even tell you the last time I heard a fire and brimstone minister, if ever more is the pity.
I'm not sure why you would suggest that sectarianism has always been beneficial to those in power at Westminster Lewis. :confused:
Anyway, without wanting to drag this subject out, there is a pretty good bit on Nil By Mouth website entitled History of Sectarianism.
I'm not so much talking about sectarianism in football but Scottish society in general. Divide and conquer and all that. I'm not suggesting those in power implemented sectarianism rather that they did nothing to combat it. This notion shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
As I am a long term exile in the north west of England and having never lived in Glasgow, I find it unbelievable that this **** still exhists! Have these people really got such tiny brains and such dull existences that they have to fill their pointless vacuums of 'lives' with such childish, pathetic, hate filled, nonsense!?!?!?
Life is too short, let it go and enjoy your lives!
