"I don't mind football forums its when sectarianism becomes invoked is when it becomes a joke, so I agree with that part of it, I believe these people should be banned from here just like the football band people" Idont either but when certain teams are mentiond you just know what its going to turn into and its just horrible to see it almost daily now on the forums.  | |||

"You aren't subjected to reading the vile stuff people write. If it's about football, don't open it and read it. I don't agree with banning certain subjects. You are an adult, if you don't like the way it's going, don't read it. " yes this is true ...there are a few topics banned from the forums and in my opinion i think this should be one of them. | |||

"Simple dont read it,football posts are mostly banter" yes mostly sadly not the case in scotland forums and what always starts as a lighthearted post often ends up in a horendous torrent of bigoted comments | |||

Football no, but any incitement to hatred via religion etc starts to get onto very shaky ground. As a website the end result will be directed at the owners not necessarily the posters. On a side note the "banter" people speak of is actually way beyond banter in many cases. I don't think football discussions should be banned but I do find it odd that people come to a swinging site for fhose discussions. A bit like the first time I went to chams and people were watching corrie in the lounge upstairs!!!! | |||

"but then you are on shaky ground.. why football and not... lets say.. rugby, or moto gp, or F1.... if not sport... why for example, fashion, or things in real life.... and ect ect ect... I think it is a slippery slope..." What you seem to be missing is the EXTREME divide between fans of a certain two teams in Scotland. Forget any Liverpool/Manchester/London team rivalries, this goes a lot deeper, a lot darker, and occasionally, a lot more dangerous. What was being asked by the OP, who's view I wholeheartedly support, was a ban on threads about these teams, or threads being hijacked by discussions about these two teams. The hatred between fans of these teams is very thinly veiled in the forum, and it becomes very uncomfortable for the neutrals. If, in the Scotland forum, football talk was to be banned, it is not just because it's football, it's because the sectarianism is so deeply rooted, that it spills over into every area of life. People don't get murdered over the rivalry between Mark Webber & Sebastian Vettel. Old Firm fans in Scotland have been murdered for supporting one team or the other. | |||

"How about abandoning the Scotland forum altogether and leave it the loyalists and separatists, extremists and haters and come join the fun in the other forums, just don't read Thatcher threads, dog poo threads or anything about cheaters as it gets pretty nasty then do. No one has threatened murder as yet but it's only a matter of time. Seriously though, there is a point when freedom of speech becomes confused with a right to threaten others and this issue is not about sport it's about hate. Admin shouldn't dismiss it as banter or expect others to police it." | |||

"I have to be honest and say I agree....as a lot of it is bordering on sinister but dressed up as banter." It used to be banter but now its just lots of underhand bigoted comments ,would like to say that the biggest majority of scots are nice friendly ppl and cant be bothered with some of the bile that is posted . | |||

"If you dont like the read dont read it! Simples. "As has already been said further up the post it doesnt stay within football posts but spills into topic which aint even football related . No one has any issues with football posts it the sectarian/bigoted ones that we're asking to be banned because there is no place for that kind of crap on here . | |||
