Absolutely not. It should be posted in the right place, but the dig at Rangers on the original post was knickerwetting pathetic & the subsequent digs at their fans also a bit of a generalisation to say the least. Anyway we are all in agreement it’s not acceptable I just think the digs at club sides on here is a bit eye rolling at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we need another section to highlight a scotland player being subjected to sectarian abuse? its a perfectly valid post, the only people with a problem are those who can't handle seeing their clubs or its supporters in a negative light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When racists say there’s a place for it to be raised, where? When Colin Kappernick or whatever his name was was told to look elsewhere, where? When sectarian abuse should be ignored here and raised elsewhere, where? Quite simply, until this utter shite is addressed, everywhere is the place to raise it. If someone is uneasy with it, well tough luck. Stop having issues with people sick of this moronic shite, and have an issue with the morons.

To say Rangers fans are all bigots is like saying all Aberdeen fans shag sheep. Only some of them are/do those things 🤣 I've never said rangers fans are all bigots...the one in this video most certainly is though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't understand anyone with any sanity that takes their kids into that type of toxic environment. The way of life thing is spot on as well...I'm a motherwell fan, and I'd like to consider myself as pretty partizan and 'dyed in the wool' but a few hours after the game finishes and I'm over it, win, lose or draw...these halfwits are so immersed in their hatred of each other that they boak at the thought of wearing a jacket that happens to be green or blue It's almost cult-like. All affectations, dog whistles and made-up social mores. For them, it goes way beyond just buying a ticket going to the game and supporting the team. I know otherwise sensible, mature people who just suddenly switch into deluded, paranoid, irrational lunatics whenever Celtic or Rangers are the topic of discussion. Another thing I've noticed is it's quite rare to find a Celtic or Rangers fan who is able to talk about football that doesn't involve Celtic or Rangers. They know everything about their own team, and everything about "the other team", but apart from that they don't have much to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What people rightly object to is people on here making this about a particular club when the two main protagonists are equally bad. At the end of the day we are all Scotland fans are we not?

syecosse Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Lewis Fiorini has scored again tonight, after a good season in Hollands second division and Man city handing him a 5 year contract looks like has started well in League 1.

Tarring all supporters with the same brush is wrong. You just argued against yourself. You tarred Celtic with the same brush as Rangers. I know Celtic have a toxic element in their support as well, but the video in question is obviously not a Celtic supporter. If someone is bigoted, racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-semitic, or any other type of prejudice, they deserve to be singled out.

Utter tosh. Whataboutery? You mean a balanced and reasonable view. There is a small minority of Scotland fans that have some kind of vendetta against Rangers and their supporters, desperately seeking any opportunity to highlight any opportunity to discredit the club.
