So, rangers and Celtic are guilty of sectarianism and Scottish football authority's aren't willing to do anything about it.
What a revelation!!

I hope the sfa and spl take note of what the bbc have shown, especially the police officers not taking any action to the singing at the 19s final!

The programme was a complete waste of time

Underwhelming to say the least.
Celtic, Rangers and the Yams outed as the disgrace of Scottish football with a core of bigoted support. Tell us something we don't know!
Neil Doncaster came across as an apologetic tit refusing to to acknowledge the responsibily of the clubs to root out the **** elements in their support.

Not exactly hard hitting that. As an expose it was the equivalent of a Page 3 girl showin ye there ankle
I can't believe the only game they went to was a Youth Cup Final and filmed the singing of 2 songs
They could go to any game in the SPL and drown in footage.
Utterly embarrassing.

Typical whitewash by BBC Scotland. I would love to see a show like dispatches or panorama do a bigotry investigation.
That shown was summed up as " They sing nasty songs". "Aye but so do they". Plus the wee yams in the background asking if they can join the club.
I see no mention made at all of the first team to be founded by Irish Catholics. Could it be that Hibs sorted out all that crap decades ago, why the BBC never thought to check that out i will never understand.
That show gave no solutions, just like the SFA or the current or any government for that matter. You will not get votes if you hammer the teams will you. A viable solution as I see it is to ask uefa to monitor the old firms gamesm an after a few warnings start hitting the clubs with points deductions and euro bans. That would sort them out quick.
Also nice to see glasgows finest ignore the folk songs, I sure this was just a isolated incident and the constabulary will learn from this error. Also nice to see both clubs adopt a hardline stance to fans caught singing offensive songs. Celtic for example banning 6 fans just emphasises that they really do have the greatest fans in the world.

Watching the SPL guy squirm at not punishing clubs sums it up.
We will never be rid of this crap as long as the SFA and the SPL are too pitifully weak to do anything about it. Here we have videos of 3 clubs fans singing and chanting this bile, plus invading the pitch to attack someone. What have they done so far? Have Hearts been fined for that? No. Have any of the three been punished for their singing? No.
Our only hope is that UEFA gets sick of it and comes rolling in and does the job for them.

The sad thing is, the vast majority of them really believe that's true.

Sectarianism in Scotland is a massive problem to sort out partly because it is endemic in all parts of Scottish society particularly in the West of Scotland.
I've been called a Fenian B by the Glasgow Polis several times over the years just for wearing a Hibs scarf. I never reacted but also didn't make a complaint which I regret. The police are tasked with sorting out sectarianism but they are part of the problem.
As for the BBC documentary, a missed opportunity for me as it scratched the surface. I thought the SPL CEO should have been challenged more and the Clubs got off lightly.

If they want real evidence of sectarian abuse and chanting then why don't they actually go to a first-team OF Derby instead of an u19s game!

Useless people at the head of the game and a limp attempt to cover the issues by the BBC.
These clubs should be being nailed. But no, wouldn't want to offend the OF.

Deleted by mistake!
Who pays Doncasters wages?
Who pays most into the SPL?
He's basically been paid off. Lack of integrity.

From the divvy of the tv money, to the men in suits controlling the game, even to the media, its a massive self preservation society. What a shambles. I believe we could actually have a relatively decent product in scotland were it not for those responsible for running the game.

Hearts fans response to the programme in lauding nasty cretin shock: Classy Club, Classy Supporters.
