Don't condemn it and then throw in an 'although', the same Steve Clark had plenty to say when Kris Boyd was pelted with coins from Celtic fans last week, so why has he got double standards this week?
There is no excuse for sectarian abuse full stop no matter which team it comes from or who it is aimed at you seem to have a chip on your shoulder regarding Steve Clark you've even mentioned on another thread for no good reason the fact he played for Chelsea and they are a 'right wing club' what the hell has that got to do with him being subject to sectarian abuse?
It’s mad you have to write it especially on 2019 but I think sectarian abuse is clearly unacceptable, Clarke is also a decent manager whose done a fantastic job at Kilmarnock. as someone who takes an interest in Scottish footy stand out manager of the last year and I really like him even despite his RS links , in fact that doesn’t come to mind which is credit to Clarke .
Having said all that and agreeing with you that he had a go over the Celtic fans over the coin throwing why didn’t he seem to mention the sectarian abuse Boyd suffered ? Now I’m not in Scotland and I’m not involved in any discussions on its football other than here so my only reference point is written media and tv and radio coverage (sometimes podcast or live ) but I didn’t hear him talk about Boyd’s abuse . It’s entirely possible he did but if he did it wasn’t to this extent or it wasn’t covered and if sectarianism is your issue the press conference airing your opinion on sectarian abuse would have seemed the perfect opportunity to bring it up . If he did mentioned the abuse Boyd suffered , being called an “orange .....” then obviously most of not all of this post is completely irrelevant. Also let’s be frank the failure to talk about by Boyd in no way mitigates what happened to him .
I’m not interested in anyway in getting into whataboutery , I hope you don’t see that in me , but if it’s an issue by not mentioning something that happened with one of your players three days ago it’s leaves you open to the kind of tribalism that flourishes in Glasgow football and leads to exactly this kind of ridiculous abuse .
Things will never start getting better until both sides of the divide can the whataboutery and start taking responsibility for their actions
You've seen it in here already with Cork talking about Clarke having double standards
Until both sides of the Old Firm grow up and say "ALL of this is wrong and we have to get our OWN houses in order without always deflecting about how the other side is worse", then this will sadly continue
Without wanting my post to fall into it this is what I wanted to say , I was trying to say that perhaps through no fault of his own Clarke panders to this mindset .
Both sides protest about songs the others sing but defend theirs , it’s ridiculous and it’s something the game needs to leave behind . If Clarke raising the point helps then great but the manner in which it’s happened I suspect will push everyone further apart
