Aberdeen fans - sectarian banner...

100% agree.

I think you have to be very careful here though because “Kill all Huns” is a far more recent counter response to the long established, loyalist paramilitary origin phrase of “Kill all Taigs” that’s been in sectarian play since the 1940s.

The two are just as wrong, but in this sense, nowhere near as equivalent.

I’ve spend an enormous part of my life either working and staying all over Scotland. Love the people and always been treated well. It never occurred to me in my 60 years that I was not welcome Lately however I’ve become self conscious about being English when Iam there.
I’ve walked around Glasgow, Edinboro, Dundee and Aberdeen late at night many many times in the past without a second thought that Iam English.
I wouldn’t open my mouth now.

I periodically have him on ignore but noted a long time ago his intoxication for the far right culture that pervades at Rangers.

Really sad to see from what I assume is a Sunderland lad too.

I'm just trying to help the lad out me marra. He left himself open there. I'm staying out of religious divide as I don't believe. I believe in people, and being nice and working together. Take care mate👍

I must admit last time I worked there was mid 2000's. Worked in Aberdeen, Glenrothes, Glasgow, Bathgate, Alloa, Kilmarnock and a few others which ill remember on a different day. Always enjoyed the places. I know a few Southern lads who never felt as comfortable as us NE lads. Sad if it's changed in that time.

Don’t worry, I’ve sent an email to Derick McCormack with a screenshot. The feds will be up his arse by Monday.

Outside of Paisley I definitely notice more and more that Scotland is an increasingly diverse and readily progressive place. This on the foundation of a diaspora that went around the world and contributed across all levels of society as immigrants, so that adaptability is something that’s within the Scots.

Can’t think why the political and societal horror show of the last decade South of the border might have In some way contributed to them increasingly not being our greatest fans?

I think if you're going to football matches looking for some kind of moral awakening, you're maybe looking in the wrong areas.
