Derby pitch inspection - GAME OFF

[Yngwie]

I'm not. Football clubs are forced to pay the police a lot of money to attend, so as far as I am concerned they can blooming well turn up when we tell them to.

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

There have been games at Pittodrie without any police present , I think we should try this at TCS

[Govan Jaggie]

I agree, there is not need for police at out matches. The attendances do not justify them. Aberdeen and G4S have proved it works. There was no police inside Pittodrie for the Scotland game last week.

If our fans are reported for the sectarian singing on Saturday I think we'll see an increased police pressence at our next few home games !

.??? Explain please.

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Heard it loud and clear when watching the recording of the game . Around the 10 minute mark " f@ck your pope and f@ck your Queen , we support our local team " .

[+old caley girl]

Think that's a song sung by all non of teams to be fair. Never thought of it as sectarian before but there you go. Think the way things are going nowadays its better to stay dumb at games!

[Yngwie]

Never thought of it as sectarian before 

 

That's because it's not. Not even remotely.

F@ck the Pope isn't sectarian ? Do explain please .

[+Fraz]

That's why he's resigning imo, he's deeply upset about some ICT fans not liking him. 

[+Wanderer]

Around the 10 minute mark " f@ck your pope and f@ck your Queen" .

 

Harassing the elderly...resulting in one of them resigning. Shocking!

[+CaleyD]

I know that was said in jest, but it highlights the ignorance that exists in regards to the whole "ism" thing (not necessarily on your part, just using this as an example).

 

It is possible to dislike something without being intolerant of it.  I don't have a particular liking for any religion, but that doesn't mean I don't respect or tolerate the beliefs and or actions of those who do.

 

The last I checked, it wasn't illegal to walk down the street with a placard that says "I hate religion".....and until you cross the line into something like "I hate religion and all religious people should be shot"....i.e. intolerance....then you have nothing to fear from the law.

 

Songs/Chants such as those being discussed above may be in bad taste, and I would agree with that, but that doesn't make them a crime.

 

It's pretty much the same as some of the shouts that were coming from the other end.  Butcher was getting called for all sorts and the Gazza stuff was pretty rough....again, bad taste and not welcome (IMO), but not criminal.

 

Best thing to do with these things is to totally ignore them and not give them any "air time", because the majority of people partaking in it are only doing so to either big themselves up to their peers and/or to get a bit of attention.  Take that away and they have no reason to do it and will soon get bored.

That's not what was sung though.

[mainstander]

 " f@ck your pope and f@ck your Queen  " .

So that will be TWO examples of anti German statements. Definately rascist then!

I don't disagree with your general point about 'isms' e.g. there's nothing wrong with disliking someone who happens to be black for instance but there is with disliking him because he's black, there is a very obvious difference. 

 

Really not clear on how my post is ignorant, yet not necessarily on my part though, you've lost me there.

[+CaleyD]

Never said your post was ignorant (or never intended too).  It merely referenced not liking someone and I was just pointing out (to others) that disliking someone wasn't an "ism" in itself.

My apologies if I misunderstood.

Don't worry. Both are interested in men.
