QUOTE
Raith Rovers Football Club are to have discussions with Police and Stewards over their fans sectarian chanting in the recent friendly against Rangers.
Vile abuse such as “go home ya huns” and “dirty orange b*stards” was clearly heard coming from large sections of the home support. It was also captured on YouTube (click here)
This may have been the first you have heard of it, because even though the mainstream media see bigotry as, among other things disliking a player because they played for Celtic (click here) and patterns on a football pitch that everyone else can use without comment but with Rangers it must be a sash - they seem to see no bigotry if it is directed towards Rangers fans, children included.
Not only did the journalists at the game fail to hear what was audible to everyone else, but even when it was pointed out to them afterwards, it was too hard for them to send an email to Raith Rovers to enquire about what happened.
Thank goodness it was not directed towards Raith Rovers by Rangers fans or we would have the General Secretary of the United Nations pleading for no more emails from Scottish journalists asking for sanctions against Govan. The attitude seems to be that if it happens against Rangers fans it doesn’t count. This in itself is the epitome of bigotry - projecting group hatred on individuals who have many diverse attitudes and beliefs. Simply put, not seeing them as people like themselves.
It is particularly sad because many Rangers fans were treated well by Raith Rovers and their fans and it has to be stated in plain English that what happened is not the fault of Raith Rovers FC as an organisation. The club, like every other football club, is subject to the prejudices of society as a whole. Religious sectarianism did not start with football, nor will it end with football much as the puppet-masters would like you to believe.
However, Raith Rovers as a football club are aware of what happened and as yet have not publicly condemned it. This is something they do have control over and if they fail to make any statement of condemnation then that would be their fault. They have a responsibility to try and educate their support or else many will not realise what they did was wrong and possibly continue to perpetuate it.
It would also mean they would have turned a blind eye to bigotry and would be another story of those shouting from the rooftops on how they hate sectarianism, only to fall silent when they are the perpetrators.

I think not
I thought they were talking about phone companies. 
Anyway, like Swampy said, if they aren't members of the OL then it isn't sectarianism. If the rangers fans had purchased tickets at the right end it would have never happened. Our club are partly responsible for this.
