On Sunday afternoon Radio Scotland provided commentary on the Scottish Cup tie from Dens Park against a backdrop of persistent Anti-Irish and Anti-Catholic singing from the away supporters. 

There was no comment never mind criticism from the state broadcaster, perhaps they are used to the song-sheet or even quietly approve of the sentiments. Who knows? 

Last week three former professional players manager to get very upset over a dispute corner and throw-in during Celtic’s 3-1 win away to Livingston. There hasn’t been a peep of complaint about the sound content from Dundee. 

All of the away fans are Season Ticket holders, applying for tickets and rewarded for previous attendance. 

The match was mainly played in daylight with CCTV coverage available from the stadium. But it seems that one form of racism is shrugged aside in Scotland. 

In 2019 UEFA twice closed parts of Ibrox for Europa League matches due to racist chanting from fans. Those sanctions prompted the launch of the Everyone, Anyone deflection campaign.

    The Broadcasters won’t mention it because the football authorities choose not to hear it.

  • Tony B says:

    Obviously not crass enough for the likes of Tom English, who apparently was in an aeroplane when it was going on but has not commented since he’s been back.

    Being the Chief Sports Writer at the BBC, you would have thought he’d have access to footage of the game.

    Given his apparent sensitivity to crassness, it seems surprising he has nothing to say about this.

    The SFA don’t hear it.
    The media don’t hear it.
    The police don’t hear it.

    I know us Tims are superhuman compared to the limp knuckle-scrapers of Ayebrokes but I didn’t know we had super-hearing! I mean, that must be it, right? The hordes of hunnery are whispering their bile under their breath and only we can detect it?

    Oh wait, no. It’s because the country is stitched-up top to bottom with scummy bigoted bastards in positions of influence and control. You know, like they accuse us of somehow doing, even though we don’t have funny handshakes…

    Before the game had kicked off at their 10th anniversary game, the racist were belting out the famine song. Was being heard clear as day. So much so, Clive Tyldesley even comment to join in if you know the words. Racism for everyone to see, except the ones that condone it…and that includes Sturgeon & her SNP cronies. When is someone goes to have the haw maws to stand up and put an end to this sh1t???

    We are indeed blessed as a nation to have an entirely deaf media.
    That’s inclusion for you.
    The same “peeple” incredibly have twenty twenty vision as they can spot a flair at our European matches and, just in case the UEFA representative misses it, our trusty journalists bring it up in the after match press conference.
    Snakes one and all.
