Here’s another thought though.
Where do we draw the line and who draws it?
“Oh the Hibees are gay”
”Scatchel’s a .....”
Mercer...
We could end up fighting over the singing in the stands more than watching the football.
Motherwell fans would find something offensive about songs Hamilton fans sing and so on.
I know I’m hugely in the minority here but I don’t think it’s as black and white as some people think.

Can't this just be solved by BT and SKY turning the volume down when they start singing then getting the BBC to swiftly follow it up with a positive story about the "atmosphere" whilst not mentioning the legally banned hate stuff, however inconvenient?
Well played the European regulators.

If Rangers are serious about stopping this behaviour they could start by not having Orange 3rd strips, banning those supporters who wear King Billy scarves, having the street vendors who peddle this stuff moved on by the police, and closing the section where the Vanguard Bears congregate. And in the interests of balance Celtic should be made to do the same with the Green Brigade.

If there was a will, there's definitely a way.

I think there’s an element of jealousy from rest of league for the two clubs and that plays a part in where people become offended. Personally I’ve no issues with most songs being sung in the pubs/stands. Never liked the Skacel one though, it reeks of ignorance. I understand The Rangers songs about Fenians causing offence, but that’s more my hatred for the Orange Walk.
I wouldn’t want to see all songs stop and there lies the issue of who is offended by what and how the powers that be determine what is offensive or not for disciplinary action!

Sevco launched an orange third strip last season because the people running the club wanted to make money from its bigoted supporters. The owners of Rangers and Sevco have made vast sums of money from bigotry over the years.

I don't think that Gerrard will have any real impact with his comments. The football is not the reason that this effluent gathers every other Saturday in Govan.

Here’s a thought.
If it’s too difficult to make the singing illegal or policing it, make it illegal to broadcast it.
Sky and the Beeb etc would either have to use loads of bleeps and explain why to their viewers and listeners or they’d very quickly be telling the clubs to sort it out.
They bleep out offensive song lyrics no problem so it could easily be done.

The TV companies would soon get fed up with that.
The commentators regularly apologise when bad language can be heard over the microphones but there's complete silence when sectarian songs are sung.

If they qualify for the group stages hopefully they will be playing in front of more referees than supporters.
Its high time somebody done something about that nonsense they spout.

What this thread proves is that there are loads of things Rangers, the SFA, the broadcasters and the authorities could do about bigotry but none of them want to do it.

And for what it's worth any Hibs fan singing the Skacel song should be nowhere near Easter Road.

Good for UEFA. Not often I’ll say that. Puts the SFA to shame. Scotland’s shame along with the other butt cheeks.
Hope the knuckle draggers keep doing what they do

Good to see UEFA lumping sectarianism in with racism. Preseeure in SFA to act. Not just Ibrix but Tynecastle.

we have all waited with baited breath, for the eventual action(s) from the authourities regarding racial and religious bigoted songs in Scottish /euro games. this looks like a start. next,, the Scottish government and police Scotland need to do more. imho, lower the amount of visiting fans from clubs that are known to perputate these offences. put them into areas that can be monitored properly and measured as to what they are actually doing. we all know what they are singing, so reduce the numbers gradually and call them to account by arresting the main culprits or at least reduce their chance of not being spotted

The Scottish FA and Scottish Professional Football League have declined to comment.

You can feel their utter utter frustration but the bigots just can't or won't accept it and chime back with abuse or whataboutary
The great thing about UEFA is that the European tournaments that all clubs aspire to are theirs so no bull **** and appeals etc holds any sway. Just their way or the highway. The bigots and thicko's are struggling with this big time, slavering about appeals and conspiracy.
P.S. The twitter arguments above reminded me of flag debates on here.Last edited by CMurdoch; 24-08-2019 at 01:12 AM.

UEFA have grown a pair of balls, while the SPL and SFA have had the chance and not dealt with it for years. Honestly how this leads to something major🤣🤣
