Really poor that this stuff still goes on - or is it on the incline again

Are we seeing a new breed of idiots going to Matches now the same in tbe Prem ?

It’s never gone away or decreased and until the clubs take a meaningful leading role in attempting to address it it never will. That may need the SFA actually doing more than sound bites and half arsed efforts to achieve though so I won’t hold my breath.

It’s not just limited to football in Scotland either (although where it most publically manifests itself) but it would be a start.
 
Laughable. SFA will never address it, despite being picked up live on TV, cries and chants of "up to our knees in _________".

It's embarrassing and ridiculous.

Even last night the referee is once again the talking point in a Sevco game. Sending off which really was farcical, and then there was the small matter of the blatant Kilmarnock penalty that was waved away in the 2nd minute.

Corrupt.

Looked like the right call for the red card, clearly see the elbow to the face but Scottish football has its issues and really needs to be addressed, even yesterday I believe in Spain rubber bullets were being used to fend of Celtic fans who were rioting, really is no need for this sort of behaviour in this day and age.

Apparently, some Celtic fans were attacked by the local police as they sat outside a bar having a drink.
 
Scotland's shame.
Utterly ridiculous that this 17th centuary crap is still being continually regurgitated.
I am the same Steve Clark, I worked in England for most of my adult life and when I returned to Scotland I could not believe it was still going on. Mainly in a small area of SW Scotland though, which is some blessing.

Rangers and Celtic supporters, most of whom do not know what the inside of a church looks like, indulge in astonishing stupid religious 'whataboutery'. Really laughable if it was not so desperately sad.

Well said Steve Clarke but it will fall on deaf ears as it has done for years!

Both halves of the bigot brothers have had countless chances to try to eradicate it but usually bury their heads in the sand and pretend not to hear it going on at their respective grounds and in away stands across the country.

We will get the usual lip service from the SFA but at same time probably find a way to sanction Clarke for daring to speak out against it and he will end up charged with bringing the game into disrepute!!

Then we will be having the same discussion again in a few years saying “something should have been done the last time when Steve Clarke spoke out about it”

Sectarianism has no place in football, the culprits here should be found and banned. Steve Clarke shouldn’t be subjected to the abuse he received.
He seemed to want to talk about it when it was rangers fans doing it after his team had just been thumped though, He didn’t want to talk about it the previous week when his own player, Kris Boyd reported he had been pelted with coins and given sectarian abuse from Celtic fans.
It’s not exclusive to rangers and celtic, plenty other clubs up here are doing the name calling thing aswell.

Just sitting there like wee angels minding their own business I presume.
Spanish police have always been heavy handed, with every team that goes there. That video someone else has posted about the guy getting hit with the baton and his headphones stamped on, twice he squared up to the cops before they done that, he could quite as easily have just gotten out of the way.
 
So Simbo’s a Rangers fan then :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Agree it’s not limited to the bigot brothers sadly, and if Doon thinks it’s limited to a small corner of SW Scotland he needs to get out more.

It’s our country’s shame and nothing has changed from 30 odd years ago when I was growing up with it.

Take your Rangers glasses off ffs.

No they werent but these lot who im talking about were having a beer/sing song when they were attacked.

Ask any Bolton/Yernited/Liverpool/Spurs Fans who have been to spain in recent seasons, all have been attacked for nothing. It happens and it shouldnt.
 
WOW, Brenda gone. That is a helluva strange move for him, but cat amongst pigeons for rest of season in SPFL. Now imagine if Steve Clarke is going to the Tims!

He was decent at Celtic, quite dignified really which was a nice change.
I wish him well but that will be goodbye to European competitions and 60,000 cheering fans.

Steve Clark, now that would be interesting.:love:

I would defend SPFL but if a managerial position in EPL comes along most managers outside of Real/Barca/PSG/Bayern would take it.
As for European comps, they're a distraction but since O'Neills team making Europa League/UEFA Cup final it's just been the very occassional great European night (and not campaign) at celtic park.

Worry is Leicester fans are going to live off past glories for the next 40 years, can any manager succeed there after the extraordinary EPL win? What constitutes success now for Leicester in a hugely competitive league - top 6, top 10, avoid relegation?
As an Aberden fan growing up in the 1980s I've never really got past Fergie's many successes.
 
Neil Lennon to go back to Celtic maybees.
Did he not walk out on them?
Golden rule of life 'never go back'

Fitba history...….O'Neil moves from Leicester to Celtic 2000, bigger club...….Rogers moves from Celtic to Leicester 2019, bigger club.

Lennon would be free I guess and a decent stand in to season's end at least. Must be in the picture. Wonder what Leicester will pay Celtic, big bucks I guess if he's mid-contract.
Thierry Henry?;)

Celtic is a bigger club than Leicester but the job at Leicester is a bigger job
 
stupid move from BR. Leicester have sacked 4 managers in 3 years, he will be on the BT couch this time next year.

He has also seriously pissed off the Celtic fans by leaving at this time of the season. Had he gone in the summer, then most would have accepted that and wished him well, but to walk out at a critical stage, 11 games or so from winning a treble treble, he has let the fans down big time.
