Jim,

Following on from our conversation earlier the person to contact would be Tommy Breslin at info @ theredcardscotland. org. In relation to the issue of songs Jim there is an ongoing feeling of disenfranchisement among the Green Brigade,the most politicized element of the Celtic support.

As a result of a lack of dialogue with the club they are disillusioned it would seem as there is an apprehension within the GB,but also from other fans that ejection from stadia will follow the first throes of O Father why or Oh I am a Merry Ploughboy. Peter Lawell was reluctant to publish a list of songs that Celtic would deem unacceptable or not.However in saying that the link below details what Celtic as a club deem unacceptable behaviour and after perusing this on several occasions I cannot forsee how Celtic could punish supporters for the aforementioned songs.The SPL's legislation though not verbatim is almost a mirror image,in that it is designed to discourage the basic forms of intolerance I.e racism,sectarianism,homophobia etc.Again as far as I can see there is nothing within the SPL legislation (see attatchment) which can punish Irish song even if it refers to the Easter Rising and the subsequent War of Independence.Anything else Jim I can help with then please let me know.

Kieron Brady

Default Re: A meeting of The Celtic Online Community Today Throughout mainland Europe there has been no precedent set in relation to the issue that confronts us.There are complexities on the issue that are unlikely to be replicated elsewhere.Consequently there is no reference point which would allow us to second guess any eventuality.

I am an Irish Republican as many of us are.However that does not automatically transcend and morph into my support and love for Celtic FC.There is a possibility,imo very small,but a possibility nevertheless that certain songs may infringe the rules.Many within our ranks would have every confidence that a 'sectarian' charrge would be laughed out of court if levelled against the support and club for singing the Boys of the old brigade.

History tells us though that justice is not always served within courts and I would beseech our fans that until further notice,and certainly until further transparency,then we shoyuld adhere to what has been agreed.

I would have every confidence that the men and women we laud and revere in song would not mind our support refraining from comemmorating them if there was potential ramifications for the club we love.

Anti-Irish racism
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Cairde,

I work for Show racism the Red Card and after months of proposals the organisation is now prepared to address anti-Irish racism and it's manifestations form supporters in stadia to the subtle anti-Irishness that emanates from the written press.I intend to ensure that Irish players who play in Scotland will be given the same protection regarding racism as players who are abused as a consequence of their skin colour.We are discussing this issue in July or August and will keep you posted of anything relevant.

Cheers

Absolutely wonderful news. If you need any assistance with it our organisation would be more than willing to help.

In the middle of replying to this I called Jim Slaven (Our National Organiser) and he is delighted with the move. He says anything we can do just get in touch. He will be more than willing to offer advice on it.

No problem Cairde,as soon as there is anything further to report I will let you know.BTW tell Gordon Burt that Kieron was asking after him

We would rather educate the SPL clubs on the issue than start pointless protests and campaigns. As you'll be aware, The songs really don't get sang at CP so it would be more a case of offering advice to the other clubs on the songs and on the issue of flags.

There are plans afoot, in another 'section' of the support for educating fans but I can't really say too much on that as its in very early stages and will take a bit of work.

We really are only at the consideration point just now on the best way to go about this and would welcome some advice. I suggested yourself as you may have some experience with your involvement with show racism the red card and Jim has asked if I could contact you to see if you'd mind chatting with him.

We are all of to Belfast tomorrow so will prob be leater in the week before I can commit myself to dealing with this but thought I'd sound you out while I have some time today. I am in the shop from 11am if you want we could have a chat before hand.

I can explain better then too

Let me know what you think. Oh and we are NOT out to hurt the club here .... our only aim is to protect our cultural identity 'defending Irish rights in Scotland' in the best way possible.

Mariea

I am accompanying Mince today in a meeting with Lawell and am determined to endeavour to get as much information as possible.Depending on the time given I would like to stress that Celtic's attitude to songs may have implications for the Irish community in Scotland and am determined to make him aware that songs of the Easter Rising and subsequent War of Independence are songs that reflect the men and women who are recognised by the Irish government as heroes and patriots.Consequently these men and women have buildings,roads,train stations,bus stations,football clubs.libraries and many other things named after them.It will however depend on the time allowed but am sure that the other fans represented will have similar concerns.Will probably put something in depth on the forum this evening,well either myself or Mince.Will converse with Jim without any problems but at this stage it will be me and not RTRC as I am not an employee in Scotland.

Enjoy Belfast

Kieron

MEETING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mariea,

Just back and the issue of the songs has not been resolved in the long term.My thoughts are that Lawell is not well versed on the issue so he is in the dark as much as anyone.He at no time demanded an end to rebel songs and empasised the clubs pride in the Irish aspect of our identity.The upshot was that as a short term solution as of tomorrow all fans should start a rendition of Hail Hail if any contentious songs arise.The idea being that Hail Hail is instant and we all know the words and is vocal enough to drown the others who maybe singing other songs.Btw the meeting today did not involve the club if you know what I mean.Lawell wants the Hail Hail idea to be the idea of the forums without Celtic FC involvement.The reason being he does not want the press thinking that Celtic are acknowledging we have any issues,even issues political in nature.Therefore on CM,Kerrydale St,Keep the faith,C Quick news,Jungle Bhoys there will be stickies tonight asking the supporters tomorrow to comply with this request but will not mention the meeting today took place.The media may go with the Hail Hail thing though tomorrow morning even without the clubs involvement.

BTW the spontaneous song and Hail Hail was my idea

Kieron

Joe,

Scrap that last mail.

Marches are not something SRTRC normally engage in but Tommy has said that a SRTRC banner could be created for the march.This would have to be approved by Ged Grebby,the SRTRC Project co-ordinator and Billy Singh in SRTRC Scotland.As I said before Joe I am not really in a position to make decisions that are within the jurisdiction of SRTRC Scotland and my interest had been prompted by the fact that once again anti-Irish sentiments are being ignored by the mainstream media.

With that in mind contacting Tommy or Billy may prove more fruitful.These are the addresses of both.Sorry Joe that I cannot be more helpful but as stated it is outwith my influence.Just received your second mail and I am surprised there has never been a response forthcoming from SRTRC Scotland.Tommy is very aware of the presence of anti-Irish racism within Scottish society and is up to speed on this march and what has compelled it to take place.I would like to think that any contact now would be beneficial.

My reluctance to become overly involved stems from being warned off to an extent of becoming involved with matters in Scotland.I had several run-ins with certain journalists recently in Scotland who I felt were encouraging racist and sectarian attitudes.They then went to SRTRC Scotland who in turn let Ged Grebby know and I was told to curtail my anger so to speak.

Although that was all that was said I did feel that I perhaps had undermined my colleagues in Scotland,hence my reluctance to become heavily involved.All that said I would not be amused if the message cannot be endorsed in some form even if there is a non-attendance of SRTRC representation at the march itself.

I dont know if I got your full message, or was that Mahatma Gandhi replying.

Thats fair enough about marching, but I have emailed SRTRC on several ocasions and they have not once even replied.

Do you think they would even send a message of support recognising the fact that Anti Irish Racism is a problem in Scotland ?

Residents of Kirkintilloch have for months now been complaining about the rowdy behaviour of local youths which has included drunken street fights and vandalism. Their plight has now taken a new sinister turn with the involvement of Irish republicans and the introduction of sectarian politics. Amongst the many recent acts of vandalism which included attacks on residents cars and property, a small plaque to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the deaths of 10 Irish migrant workers in a local bothy was also damaged.

The police and the local council considered this to be an act of vandalism but under pressure from Irish republicans the local police force have now recorded this incident as ‘sectarian’. The gangs of local youths who have been terrorising the community in Kirkintilloch have now seen one random act of vandalism been elevated to that of a premeditated act with a sinister bigoted motive behind it.

Kirkintilloch has for years been a relatively quiet area which has not had any history of sectarian violence or disorder. There is no evidence to suggest the damage done to this memorial plaque was anything other than that of these disaffected youths.

The police have been fully aware of the situation the local residents are having to endure and who are now considering setting up local neighbourhood watch schemes. When referring to the plight of local residents on the 1st of August this year, acting Chief Inspector David Brown said: "I have received complaints from people in the area and they are being looked into by experienced staff. "There's no quick fix solution and we have to look at the problems in the long term. It is very much work in progress. We are aware of the situation and are looking to improve circumstances for the people there." This ‘long term’ view has taken a considerable step backwards by this claim of a sectarian motive behind the damage done to the memorial plaque.

Not content with this, Irish republicans plan to step up their campaign in Kirkintilloch by holding a parade on Saturday the 17th of November. They intend to push their claim that this attack was not simply sectarian but in fact an act of anti Irish racism. In what has to be seen as an attempt to stir up sectarian resentment amongst local residents they intend to route this parade past the Kirkintilloch Rangers Supporters Club.

I have mailed the following to the University after someone on Celtic Minded gave me the address.

I have also wrote to Show racism the Red Card in Scotland letting them know my displeasure at the latest episode of anti-Irish sentiments.

I understand there have been complaints made in relation to the comments by Jeanette Findlay on BBC radio several days ago.

My name is Kieron Brady and I work for the anti-racist charity Show racism the Red Card.

Once again an issue has been sensationalised which has led to people I have conversed with speaking of anti-Irish sentiments being a motivating factor.

Yesterday Jeanette Findlay spoke of Irish song after being sidetracked by Nicky Campbell from the premise of the interview which was focusing on John Reid's appointment as the chairman of Celtic FC.

Findlay made Campbell aware that many Celtic fans do not regard the men and women of the 1916 period as 'terrorists.'The Irish government recognise the sacrifices of these patriots every year with a comemmoration around the Easter period.These men and women are generally accepted Irish patriots.At the comemmoration this year the British Ambassador to Dublin was in attendance.

Throughout Ireland there are roads,streets,avenues,train stations,bus stations,libraries,barracks,sporting clubs which are named in honour of these men and women.The people who fought were Catholic,Protestant and I daresay others who had no religious adherence.They had came together in a common cause,to remove the English presence from Irish soil.On Saturday afternoon I witnessed Alex McLeish,Lee McCulloch,Craig Gordon et al sing along with their countrymen with a stirring rendition of Flower of Scotland,a song paying tribute to those who fought to remove the English presence from Scottish soil.This was and is quite rightly regarded as an illustration of fervent patriotism and pride.This has not courted any controversy and why would it.It would seem patriotic airs are only problematic when they are Irish.

When Findlay made it clear she was talking about songs reflecting the period above then the issue becomes irrelevant..My frustration is also aimed at Celtic FC who are incredibly guilty of passive racism in that as a focal point for the Irish community in Scotland they are found wanting.

Let us imagine the Star spangled banner was played at football stadia to pay trinute to an American player at that particular club.The song is about Americans endeavoring to repel British bombardment at Fort McHenry in Maryland.Would this song create the hysteria that Mrs Findlay's comments have.I very much doubt it.The sensationalist nature of this coverage is indicative of elements within Scottish society that are seemingly still motivated by an intolerance of all things Irish.

Thank you for your time

Kieron Brady

"When the slave resolves he will be a slave no more,it is then his fetters fall"
Mahatma Gandhi

SFA Chief Stewart Regan was clearly not recruited by Nolan Partners on behalf of the SFA for his diplomacy skills.

Notwithstanding the continuing suspicion that Regan’s working relationship with Peter Lawwell is closer than it should be, Regan’s public utterances have stumbled from one tasteless gaffe to another.

His stewardship has continually appeared slanted against Rangers Football Club, with much of the suspicious activity laid out in gruesome detail on David Leggat’s blog, but I’d like to focus on his lack of self control when speaking in public, and why he is not being questioned by the committee that recruited him.

When he assumed the position in a blaze of positive publicity, the buzzword he was so keen to repeat was transparency.

His definition of transparency clearly varies from most normal people.

The all singing all dancing Disciplinary Procedure allegedly written by Celtic’s go-to lawyer Paul McBride for free, started the season handing out punishments despite having no Compliance Officer to co-ordinate it. When Regan and SFA PR man Darryl Broadfoot were questioned about it on Twitter, all those asking questions were blocked, then branded bigots by both.

Now haphazardly calling people bigots because you don’t like people challenging you or asking you difficult questions is low enough, but the SFA’s king of diplomacy soon showed that he could indeed become even more offensive.

On the 11th of November, as the decent citizens of the UK prepared to pay respects to the sacrifices of the Armed Forces, Regan was joking on Twitter just minutes before that “It’s the 11th of the 11th in 11. Just finished 11th slice of toast in celebration….joke! Wonder who is number 11 in starting 11 today”

By this time you’d have thought someone within the corridors of power would have had a quiet word with Regan, to outline expected behaviour, but he just can’t help himself.

The latest troublesome statement from Regan is truly obnoxious and one that VB believes should be explored by the Police.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2012/01/18/sfa-chief-stewart-regan-warns-scotland-stars-tartan-army-will-turn-on-you-if-you-play-in-team-gb-86908-23705092/

Here he cleverly avoids directly threatening players considering the approach from Team GB to consider availability, but instead states that players who do wish to play for Team GB will face a backlash -

“But it will be disappointing from a fan’s perspective because there is an element of supporters who are really hoping we don’t have players taking part and pulling on the Team GB shirt.

“They would have to deal with the backlash from fans because I’m sure there will be some element within the support who would want to protect Scotland’s independence.”

- before repeating the SFA mantra that players playing for Team GB will risk Scotland’s independent status within FIFA, which is clearly a ridiculous assertion.

By that logic the same principle would apply to England, who have no such fears.

Let’s be clear, FIFA are NOT going to kick England out of the association, and therefore will not kick out Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

As Regan is clearly not requesting the Tartan Army NOT to conduct a backlash against any such, with no sign whatsoever of any condemnation of any adverse reaction to players choosing to say yes, VB are of the opinion that his warning to the players could be interpreted to be in contravention of the “Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill”.

Section 1 sub section 1 and 2 state

1 - A person commits an offence if, in relation to a regulated football match -
(a) the person engages in behaviour of a kind described in subsection (2), and
(b) the behaviour -
(i) is likely to incite public disorder, or
(ii) would be likely to incite public disorder.

2 - The behaviour is—
(a) expressing hatred of, or stirring up hatred against, a group of persons based on their membership (or presumed membership) of -
(i) a religious group,
(ii) a social or cultural group with a perceived religious affiliation,
(iii) a group defined by reference to a thing mentioned in subsection (4),

In Subsection 4 it states:

4 - The things referred to in subsection (2)(a)(iii) are -
(a) colour,
(b) race,
(c) nationality (including citizenship),
(d) ethnic or national origins,
(e) sexual orientation,
(f) transgender identity,
(g) disability.

The act of veiled threat could be covered by the following:

Threatening communications

35 (1) - A person commits an offence if -
(a) the person communicates material to another person, and
(b) either Condition A or Condition B is satisfied.

(2) Condition A is that -

Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill 5
(a) the material consists of, contains or implies a threat, or an incitement, to carry out a seriously violent act against a person or against persons of a particular description,
(b) the material or the communication of it would be likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm, and
(c) the person communicating the material -
(i) intends by doing so to cause fear or alarm, or
(ii) is reckless as to whether the communication of the material would cause fear or alarm.

We are of the view that the Procurator Fiscal and Strathclyde Police should be taking a closer look at Regan’s statements and asking some pertinent questions. If these are not answered satisfactorily, then Regan should be charged in accordance with the new law.

Vanguard Bears

For years now in Scotland the Protestant community have been constantly portrayed as the main source of trouble when it comes to sectarian violence and intimidation.

One phrase that has continued to appear over the last few months is the 'anti-Catholic' problem that exists at present. It has been used by everyone; from sports journalists to politicians whilst talking about the new hate bill and social problems.

What I fail to understand is why no one is trying to eradicate the anti-Protestant culture that is prevalen iin our society. Are these people unaware of such problems, or do they simply care to ignore them?

For too long we have been silent whilst the Scottish media continually paint a tainted picture of the sectarian hatred in the West of Scotland. However, that silence is about to end.

If you're reading this and have forgotten, or are unaware of such problems, allow me to refresh your memory.

SONGS

Allow me to start with a few ditties that are favourites among the self-confessed 'Greatest Fans In The World'

(i) The first one is, Roamin' In the Gloamin'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DyDDpYpnZg

The lyrics are as follows;
"Roamin in the Gloamin with a shamrock in my hand.
Roamin in the Gloamin with St Patrick's fenian band.
And when the music stops, fuck King Billy and John Knox.
Oh it's good to be a Roman Catholic."

(ii) The second is, 'On The One Road.... which leads into The Soldier's Song'

Part of the lyrics are;
"North men, South men, comrades all.
Soon there'll be no Protestants at all."

I don't believe I need to point out the anti-Protestant lyrics in the above songs. They are clear for all to see, and sadly, hear.

(iii) Finally we have, 'Go Home Ya Huns'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wcZ0xeIfg0

Above is a fans favourite which is sung to the majority of clubs in Scotland, yet we are led to believe the term is merely a pet name for Rangers fans. Even the Strathclyde Police have been on the end of the anti-Protestant chant.

INTIMIDATION

On the 2nd of July 2011 as the Orange Order and Bands set off for the Annual Boyne Celebrations in Maryhill, Glasgow, they were greeted with sectarian graffiti. On the very same day similar graffiti was dubbed on the local Orange Halls walls in Rutherglen, Glasgow.

Maryhill;
http://i53.tinypic.com/15cd9v.jpg

Rutherglen;
http://i54.tinypic.com/28bzc5t.jpg
http://i51.tinypic.com/28sa55.jpg
http://i51.tinypic.com/b6t3j7.jpg

Again on the morning of the Annual Boyne Celebrations 2011 flags were erected in Ballieston to intimidate those on parade. The flags erected? The Starry Plough - the flag of the IRA youth wing.

http://i55.tinypic.com/sxdmxw.jpg

On the 14th of October 2011, Maryhill Orange Lodge was targeted again with anti-Protestant graffiti.

http://oi54.tinypic.com/2dt8v4h.jpg

On the 15th October 2011, The Louden Tavern, Ibrox was targeted again with graffiti to intimidate the regulars of the brand new Rangers pub.

http://i44.tinypic.com/v7groy.jpg

On the 29th of March 2011, anti-Protestant and pro-IRA graffiti was sprayed on sites around Greenock, including the war memorial in the town's Wellpark area.

ATTACKS

On the 8th of August 2010, a further example of anti-Protestant behaviour took place when the Rutherglen Bluebell Flute Band were attacked by members of the Celtic Soccer Crew as they peacefully paraded through Glasgow's East End with the Royal Black Preceptory. The 'Blacks' are known for having an ageing membership but this didn't stop the attack which in the end forced band members to intervene.

Both the band and Lodge set off for a parade to celebrate their culture; did they really deserve this attack?

On the 11th of December 2011, a Church of Scotland clergyman suffered serious facial injuries in an appalling assault as he was walked home alone through the Trongate area of Glasgow.

The only reason for his attack? He was an Orangemen from the Bridgeton area of Glasgow.

ARSON ATTACKS

On the 19th of August 2011 a fire was started in the doorway of the Orange Hall in Uddingston, with IRA graffiti found around the hall.
On the 22nd of March 2011, the Cambuslang Britannia Flute Bands Hall was subject to an arson attack.
On the 18th of June 2010, Port Glasgow Orange Hall was targeted.
On the 1st August 2010 it was the turn of Cumbernauld Orange Halls to sustain its second attack in only a matter of weeks.

The above attacks can be put down to one thing - the hatred against all things Protestant. The sad thing is, the above will never make the media as it does not suit their agenda. These attacks are not rare and as you can see from the dates most have occurred within the last year with this report only showing a handful of examples.

One Scotland, Many Cultures! What about the Protestant people?

Ye true loyal Protestants, sons of Great Britain,
And likewise of Erin, on you I now call.
