Stan Collymore is not everyone's cup of tea. In fact the guy has a horrible past and is a bit of an idiot but he has started this petition on twitter and his radio show. Its a petition to stop broadcasters and sponsors giving Rangers money until they stop singing the Billy Boys song aka "up to our knees in fenian blood".
It look like the SNPs new (anti-sectarian) law has not worked and the SPFL and SFA are hopeless so its worth signing it, if it gets it lots of media attention.

He's got a real bee in his bonnet about Rangers at the moment. Thing is, hes painting Celtic fans to be saints.

He's trying to forget the past, and the bigots will never let us forget it.

How sad it is that no one from Scotland of any repute is willing to make a similar stand/statement.
Alex Thomson led the journalistic line and now Collymore, both English.
Anyone in Scotland got baws?Space to let

I don't think he is tbh. If you read the article you will see that he said, "the Celtic fans are no angels, especially the evidence I have regarding the racial abuse of Mark Walters in the 90s" Originally Posted by CallumLaidlaw

He also states he does not support Celtic or Rangers and is an Aston Villa fan, but prefers Celtic's values more. He is still a woman beater mind.Last edited by CB_NO3; 19-02-2015 at 03:00 PM.

In amongst all the fawning you hear from pundits when it comes to Rangers it's refreshing to hear one call Rangers out on their bigotry problem. Ok, he's got a dodgy past but he openly talks about his depression etc.
I wished he wasn't so easy on Celtic but 1 outta 2 ain't bad.

That's exactly it and he's got the usual Sellik-minded fruitcakes and cranks jumping up and down like halfwits on this. Originally Posted by CallumLaidlaw

How I wish we could be free of both Rangers and Celtic. They and their twisted fans are an absolute blight on football in this country.

Deja Vu, we dud this one a few weeks ago. FWIW, I find it hard to accept that Stan has any real insight into the causes and perpetration of the sectarian issue. It seems like a bit of courting publicity on his part. However, I do think the Scottish media and footballing authorities lack the bawz to really expose the Hun for what they are.
Working in the Weedge recently and had the misfortune to have to walk past a well known Rangers pub. The specimens loitering outside the door were rather, ahem. primitive looking, to say the least

Collymore will say anything frankly. He's a motormouth and a bit off his rocker I reckon.

Wouldn't it be nice if a high profile Rangers fan or respected 'Rangers man' came out and said some of these things instead of leaving it to 'outsiders' who always ended up pilloried or traduced and effectively 'chased out of town'.
The casual acceptance and ignoring of all the sectarian **** is frustrating and an embarrassment to this country and the game we all love.

He goes off on some tangents (he's misguided in not seeing that Celtic are just about as guilty as Rangers in this hideous rivalry) but generally speaking he makes a lot of good points, I often agree with him and think he's good value. At least he has opinions, stimulates interesting discussion and he isn't dull.
It's tragic that it seems to take people from elsewhere i.e. England to point out that the bigotry and corruption simply accepted as part of our game really isn't acceptable in the modern world. I applaud Collymore and Thomson for speaking out. And in this day of social media etc they will still get some pretty heinous abuse for it via the likes of twitter.
Are those of us who "broadly agree with him" guilty by association in the way that we don't speak out louder? I know it appears futile but maybe we should/ could do more?

So true Spike. I often wonder now if it's mainly the football that keeps it going in Scotland? Originally Posted by Spike Mandela

Whilst Celtic have some reprehensible aspects to their support, the history of the two clubs tells me that Rangers were much more active in their sectarianism and for that I detest them more than any other team.

Forget the messenger, it's the message that's important. The truth will hurt too much for some as he's actually pointing out a deep-rooted flaw in Scottish society. No one in Scotland would dare tell it like it is in this fashion.

Stan Collymore is a tosser of the highest order. Got to laugh at him greeting over some tweets sent his way when he used to slap Ulrika Jonsson about like there was no tomorrow.
I hate Rangers but I find it difficult to support a man like him in any way.

I don't want to 'big-up' Terry Butcher, but he did speak up against all the sectarian stuff in his biography, said he was getting sucked into it all and knew he had to step away. The hun bigots have not really gotten over that yet, one of their own saying it i mean. Originally Posted by Spike Mandela

Great effort Stan.

Agree. Naming a stand after Bill Streuth who perpetuated their sectarian signing policy says it all. Originally Posted by superfurryhibby
