The UJ or Tricolour aren't themselves sectarian but can/ and are used as such - purely for idiotic reasons. Why celebrate your flag/ culture if all you can do with it is incite/ goad other people? As to poppy, it has a clear significance for Hearts and the other teams that contributed to McCrae's Battalion. Is it political? Yes but for the most part it isn't used at football games to cause havoc. If it becomes that then I'm sure it will be included in this type of discussion. I can't say i've ever felt 'goaded' by a tricolour. Ireland has 'clear significance' to Celtic's identity as a club. I don't see how that is idiotic or bigoted. I wouldn't wave a union jack personally but I don't think its for me to say it has no place at Tynecastle unless we are commemorating the war.

Agree in part though some people obvs can't control themselves when a rival manager, say Lennon, cups his ears at them after receiving torrents of abuse. Are the coin-throwers really that thin-skinned? As to Celtic - yes and no. AFAIK, it was founded by an Irish clergyman for the poor of Glasgow and most of their first team were Scottish. I am struggling to think of a justification for a UJ at Tynecastle though, outside of a war-dead commemoration or some kind of, unlikely, event involving a branch of the UK state. There is a reason why Hearts have a Saltire in the crest and why we have a Scottish FA and not a British one. Hearts/ Gorgie is a community and will therefore have many different political opinions - maybe at a football game is one place where we can put them aside?

7-2 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Singing or chanting of any song or flying of any flag which is recognised as being sectarian, racist or political in its intent. Good to see someone in Scottish football actually gets it. That'll put an end to any chance Budge had of getting on the SFA committee though.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 There is a reason why Hearts have a Saltire in the crest Because there’s a similarly subtle one on the cobblestone mosaic on the royal mile We seem to have managed to go about a century without any scottish (or uk) iconography Before this explosion of caledonianismhttp://i.imgur.com/HzoYL.jpg Luckily, in my opinion, we soon rolled that back a bit to something a bit more subtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no, there are songs and add ons that can be definitely seen as sectarian (however rarely aired). However saying one group of rebellion songs from one country is allowed but the other (especially when the songs have no religious mentions or connotations) isn't just wrong, it could be seen as bigoted in itself.
