		<description>Do you also include all supporters of the UDA, UVF, UFF (delete as applicable) as well as the ones who really make your blood boil, the supposed targets of the famine song, supporters of the now defunct military IRA?

What songs are being sung to belittle and demean supporters of al q&#039;aida? Surely they are a bigger threat these days. Should they also come &#039;home&#039; with us to Ireland as well.

How about the numerous &#039;natives&#039; of the country (of whom I know many) who were born and bred in the UK, have no Irish or other &#039;foreign&#039; lineage, and are NOT Catholic to boot who disagree with a lot of what goes on in this country with regards to foreign policy, the monarchy and the ruling classes and who are quite ashamed of some of the darker periods of Britain&#039;s colourful and sometimes great history? Would you send the lot of them to jail for not bowing down to your supremacist ideology? It&#039;s either that or nothing as you can&#039;t send these people &#039;home&#039; as they are already there!

Is it therefore valid and reasonable to support State-sponsored terrorism? As you so obviously do if you support every government and unelected monarch there has ever been in the UK (well, in the last 300 years or so).  If you want to boot everyone out of the country with varying viewpoints (that do not adhere to your narrow-minded view of whatever ‘Britishness’ is) there would be no-one left here, apart from some of the &#039;peepel&#039;.</description>

		<description>\&quot;Excellent detailed timeline.
I wont be holding my breath, but any response from Scotlands football authorities wil be throug gritted teeth.
Also note that some of the SPL delegates mentioned have got previous for setarian singing; enough to cloud their impariality I would say.\&quot;


You won\&#039;t be holding your breath JC?

We\&#039;ve already been punsihed by UEFA and warned by the SPL, wat punishment have ra Selleek been given for the deplorable pro-murderer, pro-terrorist chanting of their away support?

How retarded do you actually need to be to realise that sectarianism is a one way street in Scotland thanks to Phil and some of his peers.

To suggest that there is some sort reluctance to punish us when we are the only ones to have been punished so far is laughable.</description>

		<description>Keep up the good work. A valuable resource and reflects the shameful inaction of those elected or employed on our behalf. The denial and deflection by Mr Bain and Mr Murray speaks volumes and shows them for what they are, as is Gordon Smith&#039;s failure to condem or even comment. What are you if you can&#039;t condem bigotry or racism Gordon?</description>
