Nepal are looking down the wrong end of the barrel . Scotland chose to bowl and took  the first 8 wickets for 99 runs

No slip ups this time

Scotland chased down 128 in only 19 overs to send Nepal homewards tae think again 

Calum McLeod wasn’t pissing about 64 runs from 29 balls

Cricket Scotland - 448 examples of racism.

I'm reading this guys view at a different internet place and he seems to think it is the fault of the Scottish Asian's because they don't drink alcohol and their dietary requirements mean they don't fit in. 

These may be real obstacles but the they’re obstacles that Cricket Scotland seems to have had very little interest in overcoming.

 

which is kind of the point

The whole thing is really depressing. Cricket is the people's sport for so many Scottish Asians, and they have been treated like shit. 

Name and shame the individuals responsible. 

I said this elsewhere.

Notwithstanding the outrageous disgrace that it is, the fact the the Board have chosen to shit it, resign en masse, run away from scrutiny and then hide behind a mealy mouthed corporate press release is also shitebag behaviour of the very highest order. 

The Board members names had been erased from the Scottish Cricket website by the time the release was issued yesterday (a Sunday btw) - I know, I went looking - in a clear and pre-meditated attempt to evade identification. 

Just a shame for them that Companies House is a public listing that cannot be censored. And that the journalists have been prepared to accept ‘the Board’ pish without doing any further digging or investigating of their own is also infuriating laziness.

...which lists 40 names past & present. Remember this is historical, so those who are long gone also remain culpable. 

And then drill down to individual clubs and then the members, and doubtless supporters. It was endemic and many ar5es need skelping, from top to bottom (pun intended).

Only half a dozen posts on this hugely significant issue today.

Is P&B institutionally racist?

I think you need to take that up with the owner of the site and the moderators. 

Complete disgrace from SC.  Are any of these individuals going to see any criminal procedures taken against them?

Yes. The report mentioned that one of those referred to the police has already seen court action.

Yes, I saw that, but surely there must me more.

I also took from the report, that the racism was from all corners. Players, Umpires, match officials and board members.

None of them should be anywhere near cricket again.
