The level of Old Firm acceptance on here is truly sad to see. Hopefully over time this fades out from our support. The main thing is that I hope we aren't shy in verbally and physically harrassing any green and white specimens who choose to sit in our end at the final. Don't fret, I certainly shan't be making a habit of it. This place almost has less finger-on-the-pulse energy than a Charles Bannerman Courier column.

Not half as slow as the assortment of duffers on here.

Just to be clear, are you equating bigotry against legally protected characteristics in law with "bigotry" against people who have made the choice to follow a football team? A very strange stance to take unless the original post has touched a nerve. Why would that be? Interesting. Very interesting. Aberdeen fans are also not welcome. Clach fans are covered by my original post.

I've noticed a couple of posts on here recently where the posters could be construed as harbouring sympathies or loyalties to one of either Celtic or Rangers. Just a reminder that if Celtic and Rangers are your big team, then you are not welcome in the home end at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium. Thank you.

Full credit to Billy Dodds for coming out in midweek and getting Morton telt

Wonderful stuff.

That's unfortunate, just need to get the next one

The message is that we're ******* massive

Yasss! Sending out a message today!

An intelligent winger, a number 10 and a back up centre back just in case Broadfoot gets lost after going on one of his random forward runs

Their ground looks like it was built in the 15th century. Small club.

Seen us lift the cup already, not bothered

Looks like we've totally broken Kilmarnock FC according to their forum:

They should start a gofundme or something for flags and flares and stuff. I'm sure the monied old codgers on here would be happy to contribute generously.

The west stand sounded great on tv and looked like a decent turnout there. Pity the location doesn't show on tv but at least the players felt it which is the main thing. Shift it behind the goals and we're on to a winner.

No need for lengthy consultations etc., this isn't HS2. The club would only have to send a few letters and make a few calls at almost no cost to have something a lot better in place by the start of next season.
-
It should be the first 10 rows of the section directly behind the goals. Offer anyone who currently has a season ticket in that area a subsidised season ticket if they move to another section in lieu of people who want to create an atmosphere.

Anyone heard back from Ayr regarding a refund for the stream?

Some of the football we were playing in the first half yesterday was excellent - I feel that we tend to panic and play more low percentage passes when we are chasing a win (or equaliser as v. Arbroath) which actually makes it less likely that we will score. We need a bit more composure in those situations. This focus on Duku is a bit strange - he only has a small portion of the game to make an impact and usually it's when we're playing a bit more erratically as I just mentioned. We're going to click soon and will start scoring goals - I hope Dodds persists with the current front 4. Also, I thought Allardice was fantastic yesterday; a really intelligent, gritty player. Even if we end up winning it, we're not going to run away with this league so any week where we gain points on the team above us is a good one.

Any football top probably costs less than a fiver to make (including labour costs and materials) so the retail prices will always be inherently ridiculous regardless of the design.

On a brighter note, I would say that we have made progress as a fanbase on these issues generally. There have been a few decent and thoughtful posts in this thread. Just take a look at this grim thread from 2007 to see that we're moving forward slowly:
-
The courts have held that Romany Gypsies and Irish Travellers are protected against race discrimination because they’re ethnic groups under the Equality Act.
-
Police Scotland better get themselves organised before the demonstrations against the quality of your posts start.

I'm sure the Ross County fans weren't offended, but that's not really the point. To take a topical example, if the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins were playing the Chicago Bears and the Bears fans starting chanting "dirty Indian ********" at the Redskins fans, the Redskins fans probably wouldn't be too bothered. But can you imagine being a Native American at the game or watching on TV? Anti-traveller racism is clearly a problem in the north of Scotland (see below from prominent elected representative and crap linesman, Douglas Ross) and some of our support have played a part in perpetuating that in the past. https://twitter.com/leomiklasz/status/1288900494996496385?s=20 The problem is that if it is condoned it inevitably leads to it being viewed as acceptable behaviour amongst a minority of our support and therefore our community in other situations. For example, take this incident where Romanian players were abused purely on the basis of where they were from. The judge didn't view it as banter and rightly so: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/835394/caley-thistle-football-fan-banned-from-every-ground-in-the-uk/ One upside of us not having to play County in recent years is that this sort of thing hasn't got an airing. There's plenty of scope to give them stick without resorting to stuff like this. Just focus on cuddly Uncle Roy.

Yet there is still racism in our community: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highlands/2243678/activists-claim-removal-of-black-lives-matter-posters-from-bridge-is-evidence-of-subtle-racism-in-highlands1/amp/ Not to mention our own fanbase's history of anti-gypsy abuse. The actions of a small minority of protesters pale in comparison to the injustice wrought on these groups for hundreds of years, and doesn't devalue the points the wider movement are making.
