Skivingatwork Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 For me it’s never been about legislation being in place or not, it’s always been there, but more about a lack of appetite to deal with it amongst the police force, clubs, media and football authorities. I was at Parkhead one afternoon and found myself in the restricted view section. For anyone who’s had that misfortune it means you’ve a lot of standing up to do if you want to follow the game. Throw into the mix that you’re beside the home support who constantly hurl abuse about you belong to the orange order and having a questionable parentage. I was then approached by a member of the constabulary who asked me to sit down. Everyone around me in the same restricted view predicament was also standing but I guess I was the closest to him. A few minutes later he was back with the same request but this time delivered in a more aggressive manner. Having complied with his request I enquired as to what was being done about the individuals 20 feet away who were also standing and singing offensive songs of the type that would warrant arrest. At this observation he grew livid and began himself swearing and suggested that if I continued being a f****** smart a*** I’d be thrown out. I also witnessed a similar episode at ibrox when a father with 2 young boys dared to question what the police were doing about the songs emanating from a few feet away. He was also (incredibly) threatened with ejection. Those who sing the songs are all perfectly happy knowing that nothing will be done. The statement earlier from police Scotland was embarrassing and shows the lack of will in dealing with this sort of thing. Until that changes it will continue to happen to the detriment of decent society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The views of this government have been made clear through their actions, words and lack of words time and time again. If you read it you'd surely realise that she's actually a lecturer who the SG criticised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very bright are you... Yes by singing hello hello at the football I am denying some poor person somewhere their race and slandering their religion.

Anyone who goes to a Hearts game with the aim of advertising their personal bigoted/racist/loyalist views is a parasite, they're just using HMFC as vehicle for their own ends.

I think it’s very easy to say things on here you wouldn’t say in public. I accept anyone’s views no matter how distasteful they may appear. It’s just quite depressing that in my opinion that any of this nonsense should matter. I’ll never understand hating someone because of their religion or colour.
