Hardly sectarian singing, rather refusal to applaud what to many is an offensive and unelected position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note I never said I agreed with those fans views on his actual Irish heritage. I wonder if those fans received stadium bans for such abuse? Did John Needham receive a stadium ban for his derogatory comments towards The Rangers fans that ultimately led to a fine by the SFA? That’s why I find the total stadium ban for Alan Wardrop rather odd and troubling. Double standards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The racist behaviour was back in 2008, if the particular clowns weren't banned then they would be now. Let's not mix up racist abuse and the Needham embarrassment or Aw's alleged stupidity.

But you undermine the harm of true racism by branding personal abuse as racist. McGeady was abused all over Scotland for turning his back on his nation of birth to play for a nation that he was culturally more aligned to, a personal decision and not one based on his "race". All of it was unnecessary as he turned out to be well short of the standard Scotland needed and also to be fairly injury prone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Ray Houghton, Bernie Slaven and Tony Cascarino (🤥). McGeady was perfectly entitled under the international laws of the game to play for the RoI. He played 93 times for RoI and at two major tournaments which Scotland never qualified for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Darren Fletcher and Davie Weir’s boys who have both disappointingly chosen to play for England. I only ask that players choose from their heart rather that what will benefit their career most.

Our current goalie was perfectly happy to be considered by England for long enough. Stuart McCall initially chose to play for England (his birth nation) over Scotland. It is rather difficult for people to accuse McGeady when Scotland have taken advantage of the situation. We have had many examples down the years made under the laws of the game. It’s hypocrisy by individuals who accuse McGeady of such treacherous behaviour. I wonder whether they went to Hampden and abused Rioch, McCall, Gough and many others of turning their back on their specific country of birth.
