Smsm finally reporting
Great to see them finally do their job
Waiting for the reports on anti-Irish bigotry
Not holding my breath though

Their chants would be more anti catholic would they not?

They do have a few anti Irish but almost everything is anti catholic

Even their few songs about football they add f**k the pope in

In fact I'm not sure how anybody could find fault with Sturgeon's response to this. "Selfish, Thuggish, Sectarian". "vile Anti-Catholic prejudice". Drew a parallel with their behaviour and "law abiding citizens". She even pointed fingers at the club and how they need to manage and control supporters behaviour in the future.

There was no reference to other clubs, not parallels drawn with anything else. It was a significantly condemnatory statement which references the prejudice inherent, and the dereliction in public duty that citizens have in this time.

At long last the truth speaks its name. Anti Catholic bigotry....allowed to fester even in polite homes for a century and never tackled. What school did you go to at job interviews ? Blame the schools they said! ‘Civic Scotland’ has ignored this, and thus acquiesced for too long.

Oh and by the way if you upset them they still have ways of making sure you don’t pick up a microphone again with their connections. Their reach is long as is their memory and patience. If you think the morons on the ground are the only ones responsible think again.

The catholic community should tell its story.....decent folk who aren’t catholic wouldn’t believe some of them. We historically kept the head down and just got on with it...thus many including new immigrants and arrivals to Scotland know little of its biggest minority’s history

When I was nominated as uni Rector a couple of years back I asked someone what the early reaction was......I was told it was positive, apart from a couple of.......’Isn’t he a catholic’......for some it’s still a perfectly acceptable covert and overt form of discrimination.

Not one thin word was read

Too busy celebrating in the Conservative Club.

Looking forward to the usual suspects bending themselves backwards trying to defend them on here

You must go to Mass three times a week if you’re that sensitive about the Pope.
