Ionns, you seem unable to separate your biased historical facts from what we are really discussing on this board. We've already established that there are examples of sectarianism on both sides. Both teams need to work this out so don't go taking any moral high ground here. I've never been to a football match in my life and never will but in the 21st century we should be moving on from your 'history' and not singing about an ancient king and a priest who lives on the continent. There are enough football anthems without including this bigotry.

The rising tragedy of young men getting killed on London streets because of the colour of their skin is akin to young Scots getting killed because of the colour of their scarf.

Govangirl, So we have already established that there are examples of sectarianism on both sides - and that I am unable to separate my biased historical facts from what WE are really discussing on this board - oh excuse me for breathing. What biased facts ?. If I am in any way biased - it is against the Catholic Church - however the catholic people are another matter. These people have been victimised by Scottish protestant society - why ?- because of their race and religion. So forget the fifty fifty shite - and the equal share of blame that goes with it.
Gorbals was a long long way from Govan.

1. The whole point is that YOU haven't accepted examples of sectarianism on both sides.
2. Obviously WE means you too so don't get pedantic.
3. What biased facts? We all know the background to this bigotry but you seem intent on raking up your perceived injustices instead of looking FORWARD and examining ways to rid our land of it.
4. Govan? Gorbals? I was born in a Gorbals mansion and then moved to a Govan mansion. There was no difference in our basic conditions then so you go ahead and romanticise it as much as you like.

Ionns - you've stated previously about your dislike of the Catholic Church, I was just wondering if that makes you a bigot? :wink:

Ionnsaigh, I love your sense of humour. Hatchet buried deep although I suspect you like to cause controversy just for the hell of it...........................a bit like me! :wink:

And the unwashed, worn-for-a-month, ale-smeared simmet does it for me so you leave other folk's aphrodisiac preferences alone!!!!!! :lol:

Oor Ionnsaigh he’s an unco chiel, he bides in Glesca toon,
For narrow, bliker’t points o’ view he surely weers the croon,
We a’ could sit an’ grouse aboot a world that’s ill-divided,
Ye’ll no’ mak ony difference an’ ye’ll only be derided.
