Think most people would distance themselves from MacKay and his texts.

If you were to exclude everyone from sport who had made suggestive comments about a woman or man in private to a mate there would no sport left to watch.

You're right, it's one for another forum but these kind of protests need called out for what they are.

Are you saying it’s anti semetic to fly Palestinian flags in a show of solidarity with the people in Gaza who are being slaughtered on a daily basis?
A systematic massacre which is being supported physically by the West and tacitly by our media’s jaundiced reporting.

Totally. It’s mental.

The SFA, Ross County and now us have been happy to appoint him. All following an interview process. Players of different ethnicities have happily played and flourished under him.

Sore one last night since it due to scoreline - but still 3 more derbies and lots of points to play.

Celtic / Rangers

Agreed.

This is meant to be a thread about our women's team. If people want to post opinions on whether Mackay should have a second chance or world politics then they should start a dedicated thread.

The flags were flown last night at a womans game though? Not that off topic in this instance.

Surely if the topic is that important to the posters involved they should want a separate thread with a clear title which will engage more interest?

There's little enough discussion of our women's team on here without the thread getting derailed by non-football matters.

I'm saying where are similar protests against, say (to name but two), the fate of the Uyghur population at Chinese hands or the Darfur genocide? Israel has been provoked into war by a barbaric enemy which hides itself among and beneath the people it's supposed to govern. The Hamas regime would also be the last to countenance LGBT rights. These protests are misguided and the fact it's Israel which gets singled out points to an antisemitic agenda.

Bottom line, I see no place for this at football matches.

Israel started this war decades before Hamas even existed in fact their absence from the WB doesn’t stop the IDF butchery.
The other human rights atrocities you reference aren’t actively enabled by our government however feel free to start protests about them.

I assume you were similarly irked by BLM & Ukraine at football matches?

Any medium to highlight human rights abuses has to be welcomed and encouraged and football is a great showcase

You never answered the he’s here’s question though. Where’s the protest against all the other similar events occurring worldwide? Seems it’s only the one involving Jews that stirs up public outrage.

Israel has been provoked into war by a barbaric enemy which hides itself among and beneath the people it's supposed to govern

One of the worst takes on the Israeli genocide I have seen for a long time - and that includes any recent Israeli propaganda.

You have posted some utter nonsense in your time but that takes the absolute biscuit. Don’t insult our intelligence with that offensive junk

It's not a 'take', it's a simple summation of Hamas tactics. How else would you describe them? There's only side advocating true genocide here, as their supporters who chant from the river to the sea make clear (ignorant of its meaning as many may be, but for whom October 7th is an inconvenience to be glossed over).

I’d recommend reading some history books on the region with particular emphasis on 1948 onwards you’ll have a much better understanding than merely swallowing BBC & Sky news ‘reporting’

I'm not sure football's such a great showcase when it leads to a Celtic player essentially having to leave the club because he happens to be Israeli.

You could argue for all time about who 'started' things. The BBC's terrific 50 Years War series is a good starting point, but the roots of the conflict are as old as time.

Hibs women aye?

I thought this was the thread I was reading

Celtic won their mini-group and will go through to the CL 2nd round which precedes the Group stage, Rangers lost to Atletico Madrid 3-0 to finish bottom of their group.

Saw a Celtic **** at this game last night who works for the Scottish Greens. What business would such an individual have at a Hibs v Hertz women’s game other than to stir *****?

The club let itself down appointing him and the recent efforts to chase Elie's racial abuser, while correct, is extremely ironic.

Still don’t get why Malky can’t be forgiven but Newell and Boyle (for acts which could have resulted in physical, indeed terminal, consequence for anyone coming into contact with their vehicles whilst they drunkenly operated them on public roads) are given carte blanche. It reeks of hypocrisy of the highest order.

But let's leave this alone cause I don't want this thread to be moved to the Holy Ground

That’s a laughable argument. If anyone wants to prance aboot Gaza City with a pride flag, they’ll find just how laughable it really is.

If the BBC told me it was raining I’d look out the window to check.
Love to hear a coherent argument that the Nakba wasn’t the instigation of modern day trouble in the region.

Seem to have regressed quite quickly, after being involved in winning cups not so long ago, to lose a lot of decent players, they look a shadow of their former self. Poor result last night

Maybe just wanted to watch the game. What’s wrong with people. So many appear to have lost he plot.

I can just about put up with the drum at the mens game, while i've never had much time for it, these morons have if possible pushed me further away from the womens game.

There's plenty about the BBC I find fault with too but the series was excellent, offering perspective from all sides and pulling no punches, with the Nakba prominently featured:
