Everyday Sectarianism



Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke made a number of very telling points about the sectarian abuse he received at the hands of Rangers supporters during a match at Ibrox the other night.

 Why is it completely unacceptable for football fans to call Clarke's assistant or one of his players a 'black bastard' - yet officialdom looks the other way when the manager is abused at his place of work with equally ugly, anti-Catholic insults?

If you ask me, until there are harsh penalties against football clubs - including heavy fines, loss of points and forfeiting matches - this kind of vile behaviour will continue because the bigots and bullied are difficult to isolate and root out from within a large crowd.

 Difficult though not impossible.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
