Racism in Scottish Football

Sorry I was on a call all morning. I don’t really follow lower league racism, but in the Premiership, I have actually been quite impressed with the lack of racism from our fans, despite Neil McCann buying almost exclusively coloured gentlemen, who do not know how to play football. The worst I heard were implied kind of stuff like “They dinnae ken what it’s all aboot”. Never heard anything from other fans either. Only one of the coloured gentlemen play now because he can actually play football.

I agree, I shall try and use it more often than every second chance, now that you have brought to my attention that it is a good joke.

p.s is the joke the bit about lower league football?

We are seeing a rise in "normal" people becoming right wing as a result of the media trying to outrage them with "they want to ban christmas in case it offends people" shiiite. There's a new one every day as they know people share it so it's an easy win.

Then there is the BBC being forced to be overly PC and inclusive, leading readers to believe that this is the norm. A story about a child being confused about their gender and how we need to be more understanding. Then the reader thinks ALL OF OUR CHILDREN ARE GENDER CONFUSED. THE WORLD'S GONE MAD.

Paul Ince for me is worse.

'I cant get a job because im black'

Nope. You cant get a job because after some very brief early success you have proven pretty much beyond doubt that you are a pash manager.

The fact you can hardly string a sentence together doesn't help either.

PC gone mad if you ask me

Racism is nowhere near a big deal as it is made out to be and pandering towards it simply raises the aggression regarding it

I find it difficult to assess how much racism is prevalent given that I'm a white person. I suspect the colour of my skin would influence how much racism I am exposed to, so it would be easy for me to say that it barely exists because I don't see it.

Anyone who says PC Gone Mad seriously is an absolute idiot and deserves to be buggered senseless by a large black women wearing a long white strap on.

I think to say football fans are racist is wrong. I think to say racism is creeping back into football is wrong. Racism is creeping back into mainstream society and racists are feeling empowered due to what they're seeing and hearing at political levels in the UK and across the world.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

For me racism at football is akin to sectarianism.

Stupid people who want to have a pop at someone will generally go for the easiest and cheapest shot available to them. They don't have the brains, imagination or quickness of wit to do any better.

So when a hyped up ignorant tool at the football wants to vent at the opposition it is easy to go for the 'orange bassers' or the 'feenyin bassers'.

In the vast majority of cases I don't think it has an awful lot to do with deep held committed religious beliefs these days.

And similarly mentally challenged folks look at a black player in the opposition line up and its the easiest place to go to have a pop.

Just like it would be if a player was fat or bald or ugly.

Its a cheap shot more than anything else. It is intended to be a derogatory term but again I don't think in most of the cases it comes from a deeply racist place.

I think it just comes from sheer ignorance and stupidity more than anything else.

Pandering means we are letting these people be offended by anything and everything.

Instead of ridiculing how insane it is to think that dressing up as a lookie lookie is still racist we actually give them a platform for the mock offence that everyone and anyone seems to be affected by these days..

If we ban people from dressing up as a black person, then we should ban the pogues christmas song as it is offensive to queer5?

Aye "they want to ban Christmas in case it offends the Muslims" types. Even though Jesus is a prophet in the Koran. Don't know a huge number of Muslims but all the ones I do know bloody love Christmas.

This is one of my favourites from the ultra-right racist nutter types: https://twitter.com/prisonplanet/status/929491329813499904?lang=en
The utter destruction of absolutely every word he said warms my heart.
