I think for most people, me anyway, there is a clear disconnect between those words and any sort of religious connotations and instead they are merely derogatory words to describe fans of the clubs themselves. It is very much a football only thing. Very much in the same way Aberdeen fans being refered to as sheep shaggers, for example. The difference in other fans hating the OF because of sectarianism is that for some OF fans, those religious connotations are still prevalent and goes deeper than support or dislike of a particular club. The song books and history of both clubs say as much. I'm not saying thats true for all OF fans. Nor am I saying its right for other fans to say *** and ******. But I dont think its as easy as saying certain words are always sectarian in use. For the most part, people using those words don't mean it in anything other than in a footballing capacity. I have never been sure on the scope and breadth of the sticky bun term. I went to a non denominational school, I.e. not a catholic one, so in the vernacular I was a proddy. Does that make me a *** or would I have to support Rangers. i.e. is it a religious term or a football one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a religious term and it’s used to that effect in Northern Ireland and the West of Scotland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) celtic legend has his say on anti Rangers bias claims. Sir Kenny Dalglish shares damning claim about SFA amid Rangers controversy Sir Kenny Dalglish claims the SFA are “leaving themselves wide open to accusations” after opting to charge Alfredo Morelos for his actions in Rangers’ win versus Hibernian but not Darren McGregor. And Celtic legend Dalglish claims that the SFA might be showing a bias against the Ibrox striker by not pursuing action against McGregor. Writing on the Sunday Post website, Dalglish said: “By only calling up Morelos, and not Darren McGregor for his clash with Glen Kamara, the SFA are leaving themselves wide open to accusations of having one rule for one player and a different one for another."

Like I said, anyone who's serious about sectarianism doesn't use the language that bigots use. I've no doubt a lot of people use it in ignorance, but there's no real excuse for that in this day and age. I'm sure we all know people who refused to stop using bigoted language because "That's not what I mean by it" and "It's not actually offensive". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But both cases were considered, so no bias there, and only one of them deemed to reach the threshold for further punishment. And you would agree that the Morelos incident was the more serious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
