Just inbred bigots. But unfortunately that isn't always the case and there is bigotry I'm the game

May I take this moment to add though it isn't just Glasgow I have heard it all over Scotland although it appears worse in the in this direction

Violence is worse in England.

I doubt Strathclyde Police would agree.

Everytime the Old Firm meet there is violence not only in or around the Stadium but on our streets and in our homes well after the dust has settled on the game.

How many "mixed" marriages result in domestic violence after an Old Firm match.

What happened centuries ago in Ireland has no place in modern culture especially inside a football stadium.

The good thing this season with them both I different Leagues is there has been no derby game this season. Yes it has hurt the Scottish game financially but the level of sectarian violence has dropped because of it.

I would hate to see a return to the 70's when I was a lad starting out on a football career, when fans spilled on to the park and violence was a part of Glasgow life.

sorry didnt say there wasnt violence my point is the level of violence is much more having a family member trained in riot policing i know this as english police aint drafted for celtic rangers games but they are drafted down south when the big clubs are matched together this isnt to slate english folk or football its just a proven fact that violence levels south with football are way higher than here the sectarian problem is a huge one but thankfully the violence levels aint quite so bad

It was kicked off by mindless morons singing sectarian songs at Berwick on Saturday I think.

Yes believe it or not football supporters do go to church. I personally know a well respected business manager and leading elder in his church who at the weekend swaps his Armani suit for a track suit, wields a blade and becomes a football thug.i

Now he is not the usual don't go to the game, know nothing about football sectarian bigot. He is an organised football casual who travels all over Europe just for the hell of it starting battles with casuals from other Cities.

But to return to the bigots. A small minority managed to gain entry to Berwick at the weekend and embarrassed an already beleaguered team. What made it worse was it went out live on ESPN and the commentators had to apologise to the nation. A spokesperson from Rangers FC also came out with the Police and asked for calm.

As if there is not enough in the world with bigoted zealots why do we need them here at a football ground or in our streets/ homes etc.

If there was an activity that caused crime to rise, cost millions at least to control and police, and has cost countless people their lives simply for recreation. It would have been banned. It's only because it is football that they don't. In February alone 7 people were issued with FBO's two of them for chanting sectarian songs.

A game that actively helps promote hate and violence is not ok in my book, yet we teach it to our kids in school. More funding goes to football than to art and literature (which considering 26.7% of our adults in scotland are classed as below competent literacy and numeracy with one person in 28 having severe difficulty seems ludicrous to me) Spend some more money on rugby instead, do you see huge negative headlines every time there is a rugby match? not really, and then maybe our team will have a chance

It's all very sad

I know that we are very nervous to get on the train after ANY football even in glasgow. Alcohol plays a huge part in it. Even if the rivalry doesn't get to violence, there is still aggression which makes everyone on edge as you don't know when it will kick off.

I believe that nobody should be afraid to leave their house, on match days it isn't an option though. Tell those who have suffered because of "fans" that it's "only a game".

I don't think they will believe you.

I was brought up in an area of Scotland where ALL schools were non denominational and bigotry was unheard of. Its only on moving to Lanarkshire that I experienced such a culture. There is no harm in having Irish roots ..in fact it is to be encouraged but to go back several generations and all of a sudden have an Irish accent on Paddy's day is somewhat strange.

I don't think you can really hold the old firm responsible for what happens with their minority of fans who enjoy continuing the bigotry as these people will continue to do so long into the future.

I really do believe it is the minority rather than the majority that are bigoted. And I agree that football fans are worse than rugby fans but that's how it's always been.

But this comes down to how we all raise our kids! Simple as that.

I like it when I hear people say my kids are well behaved and well mannered ( most of the time I hasten to add!!) but a lot of their friends don't even know how to say please or thank you. It is up to US to show OUR children how to behave its not up to teachers or anyone else to teach them. If we raise our kids to be polite and to respect other people then that has to be better than teaching them to hate someone just because of the football team they like or because of the church they attend.

Live and let live, say please and than you, be polite, make love not war and let's see if we can make it better

It is a small minority of fans but why do the two clubs roll out the red carpet to them. The great John Ried took on the terrorism of the world but could not handle the green brigade.

And to think the two clubs have aplace in English football is nonsense as long as the sectartian bile is there. Why would England want to inject that into thier game.

Right, but does that make it right? Should the club be thinking 'hang on a second, maybe we should be promoting harmony and not trying to inflame the situation' ? Should they be taking a bigger stand against the bigotry? And that goes for Rangers too - please don't think I'm picking on Celtic because I'm not

Ok granted. But why is the republican colours even near their strip? Its a forgien country which has no place in Scotland so the inclusion is merely there to further cement a vague tie or allegiance which ultimately is a provocative act by the club.

The same could be argued fir rangers wearing red white and blue. The difference is they are a britsish club who okay in Britain so although no doubt a concious attire still acceptable (ICT wear red white blue with no allusion to bigotry)

We cannot expect the fans to change when the clubs themselves are designing their kits to further display an allegiance of any kind.

I would say uts highly provoctative. what is the need other than to say 'we are loyal to the republican cause' ? As I can see no other reason why a Scottish club playing in Britain would want to wear a forgien flag. A bit like an Israeli club seeing Palestinian colours I think!

Why is it a laugh? The Irish Tricolour is a national flag of the Republic of Ireland. I'm fairly sure it's not the club flag of Glasgow Celtic Football Club. It can be seen as a symbol of hatred by certain factions including the minority of Rangers supporters who also like to chant racist chants and think that bigotry is perfectly acceptable. Like I said earlier, I think both Celtic and Rangers are equally to blame in this and that BOTH clubs should do what they can to try and lead their supporters away from bigotry. I'm sure there are things about the rangers kit that inflames the feelings of hatred amongst Celtic supporters to

History aside in the 21st century when the club are supposedly doing ALL they can to eliminate the problem di you not think it is itsy best unwise, ay worst inflamatory to include the colours in their merchandise? Is there really any need and all it does is further cement the allusion of being IN THAT CAMP.

Hypothetically - imagine an Israeli club at a press conference in tel Aviv. The manager addresses the crowd wearing club merchandice which just happens to have Palestinian colours on. The club may have been founded hundreds of years ago by Palestinians in Israel. What do YOU think the reaction would be?

No you haven't. However, the original thread was about bigotry and it was suggested that football was responsible for it. My point has been that it is a minority of football fans that seize upon the smallest part of their clubs history/team colours/historic hatred of one another to continue the bigotry and to try and justify it. My point was also that EVERYONE from both sides of the old firm knows that its a problem but that it s still only the minority. I have been keen to point out that no club should be singled out for blame but that they should try to lead their fans forward and away from bigotry.

I also agree that both clubs do great things for their supporters and their families and the local communities but these things are always overshadowed by the actions of the bigoted minority

That is far from my intention. I merely stated my belief Lennon should not wear the colours as I believe their inclusion merely furthers the clubs ties to the sectarian problem..one which they profess to be tackling.bmy point is that it would be simpler NOT to have the colours at all and therefore this wouldn't be flagged up. When they designed the top they must have discussed the imagery and what statement they wished to project. I feel the inclusion was therefore thought out and deliberate and as such a deliberate act which rather than helping stamp out the problem associated with the. Luv it merely serves to feul it. I mentioned Lennon as he CHOSE to wear it as opposed to other strips bearing just the club logo. Hr could have used common sense and avoided wearing the top. (remember players abstaining from wearing poppies?)

I am not trying to intive you to be a bigot. You defended Lennon and I asked your reasoning whilst pointing out how some may have taken offence to his attire

You seem to think I am a bigoted rangers supporter because I think your club are foolish to adorn their strip with iconography which holds certain conontations in Glasgow where they reside. I am neither and despise both clubs equally. If you fail to see how the inclusion of the colours can been seen to invite association with sectarianism then you are deluded. You say I am anti Celtic and anti Irish. That is untrue. I am anti the element of both these factions who choose to live in the UK yet claim to despise it.

"The Republican Tri-colour? Jeez - you demonstrated your anti-Irish racism in that sentence alone.

Are you really as big a dick as that thing you're holding??

And please, don't try to justify or further explain. The statement is racist. "

Wooooah! Racist! The republican tri colour is the flag of the REPUBLIC of Ireland's flag hence the name I gave it. if I called the French tricolour the republican tri colour us that racist too? Get a grip!
