Issue 5 of CQN Magazine is out today with some exciting changes. We’re moving print production into the UK for this issue, which will be available after the game against Rangers, with 8 extra pages not included the online version, covering all the drama from next week’s game.
We have a couple of retrospective articles touching on the momentous events of 2011, including an interview with George Galloway, discussing his book about the life Neil Lennon has had to endure. As you would expect, George doesn’t shirk out of the tackle.
We also have an excellent interview with Elaine C Smith, talking about growing into her life as a Celtic fan, her work and tackling domestic violence. We cover the recent Football Bill and question the possible agendas behind a senior police officer, and recent striking referee, reporting Celtic fans to Uefa.
We stick our first toe in the short story water, a clarion call to Reclaim the colour Orange, tons of great fan memories, many of which you’ll share and plenty more, it’s all there, including typos and deliberate mistakes!
You can order now with credit/debit card or Paypal and buy direct from the UK for only £3.50 + £1.50 postage and packing. Shipping costs £2 to ROI, £3 to Europe and £4 to the rest of the known universe. Click on the link below to order.

It seems from the following that it’s not only in Scotland that eejits are quick to take offence when none exists.

We’ll soon be at the stage where communication stops for fear of censure or arrest,and it’s all wrong.

Over and out for the day. Have fun,all.
What part of verboten do people not understand. A pack of crayons can be coloured, likewise lego has different coloured pieces. Using the word coloured to describe black people is colonial, antiquated and offensive to black people. Its 2011 not 1811.

John Terry used the word “black” to describe a black person,and is due in court as a result. What do you suggest he should have said instead?
Juventus held by Udinese. Juventus are rubbish. Bring on the Killie and get into those squirrely things. Who are they playing controversially this weekend. Good to see Izzy is back and has something to prove. If we attack them the whole game we won’t need big Dan in central defense.
Morning bhoys, still dark, no frost this morning, but hun free as ever.
Can’t get my head round all this racisism thing.
It’s ok to be racist if the skin colour is the same as yours, ie white, but not someone with darker skin, crazy.

I think it might be the word that followed black that could have been the problem. If he thought Ferdanand was a bastard then fair enough bringing the pigmentation of his skin and his ethnicity into the equation is called racism.
The use of the word coloured is now percieved by those on high as to be insulting its just a fact. I remember the word bandied about in Scotland to describe those of a different ethnic background used freely with gay abandon, that word” darkie”. Time to move on from the days of yore.
Good morning friends from a damp and unseasonally mild East Kilbride.
Office afternoon out today. Woo-hoo!

the use of coloured is antiquated and now considered by some to be offensive .
however it was and is often used , inappropriately, by people who are trying not to be racist who fear that “black”is a racist term
racism is abhorrent, baseless and stupid however it`s cause is not helped by those who are permanently easily offended
life is not a council of perfection
Morning all. I remember when an early morning run was a refreshing start to the day.
Jesus, I’m getting old.

Had he called a white player a b…..d there would have been no problem. Agreed? The problem arose from using black as a prefix to the insult. Agreed?
Yet earlier you referred to the word coloured as being insulting to black people,so clearly the use of the word black as a description is not offensive.
Do you see the ever-decreasing circles that we are being drawn into here?
By the way,the answer is not to generalise. Either do not differentiate,or be more specific.

Every morning I have an early morning run, but these days it is the dash from bed to toilet . . . . . . .

If the term “Coloured” is offensive can anyone explain NAACP to me?
Coloured is not a term I use myself but I think people should be a little less intense and a little more forgiving.

Agreed, whats your point?. He didnt though did he? allegedly Terry used the term black beforehand which is racism. The exact same rules apply if the boot was on the other foot and Ferdinand called Terry a white so and so, what part dont you get?.
Yet earlier you referred to the word coloured as being insulting to black people,so clearly the use of the word black as a description is not offensive.
No its not, a black person black people black culture etc etc etc. However if you put certain words before or after it of a derogative nature like Terry has allegedly done, it is offensive, simples.
Ever decreasing circles was a crap programme from the seventies or early eighties, that no doubt used the word coloured to describe ethnic minorities. As for generalisation or being more specific, aint got a scooby what your banging on about.
The use of the term coloured is offensive to those of African and Asian ethnicity, certainly in a modern multi cultural world, down in hicksville who knows.
I too heard Hanson’s comments last night on MOTD. My sixteen year old son stated right away that he thought it was a wee bit Racist, to which I disagreed saying it would have been worse if he called them black.
So what would have been the correct term?
I thought coloured would be acceptable.

“What’s to explain for these gaffes? For one thing, “colored” is a term that never completely exited American society. One of the most prominent advocacy groups for African Americans uses the term in its name—the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. There’s also the popularity of the more modern (and appropriate) term “people of color.” Some people may think it’s okay to simply shorten that phrase to “colored,” but they’re mistaken. Like “Oriental,” “colored” harkens back to an era of exclusion, a time when Jim Crow was in full force, and blacks used water fountains marked “colored” and sat in the “colored” sections of busses, beaches and restaurants. In essence, the term stirs up painful memories”.
Whoo Hoo
500th
philvis. Your podiums are about insider knowledge; 500th requires nertve and verve o:-)
Is anyone else finding CQN response very sluggish? All other sites I visit are more or less instant otherwise I would assume it was just my pc. CQN takes about a minut for every action ( so this may well b 517th by the time it `arrives` ),

palacio
imo black is the correct term
for reasons given coloured is no longer considered acceptable
Where I reside people of African and Asian people are in the majority. I would guess somewhere in the region of 60/40. Believe me you would not have a pleasant day using that term, well unless your amongst the octogenarian rememberance society.
Must fly the day beckons, ho hum.

I think you will find you are 501 st :>)
The Daily Record online sports headline is “Croatian boss Slaven Bilic : Nikica Jelavic might regret it forever if he doesn’t quit Rangers now”
A few lines in to Keith Jacksons splendid column he quotes Bilic “it worries (Bilic) not one jot whether Jelavic opts to hang around at Rangers for the rest of the campaign or if he is encouraged by the finically stricken Ibrox club to take a 10 million ticket to England”
The old media make me laugh.
Hail Hail
Things to do have a good day bhoys.
Take care out there.

‘If the term “Coloured” is offensive can anyone explain NAACP to me?’
Coloured is offensive because in Apartheid South Africa it was the term used to describe non whites. The people who came up with the name of the NAACP wouldn’t have been aware of that at the time.
It’s the associations and connotations that give all words, not just offensive ones, their character.
Morning bhoys
Hope we are all well

Morning Ernie – why haven’t the NAACP changed their name then. You would think they would do so if they were offended by the term.
Carla Sims, communications director for the NAACP in Washington, D.C., came to Lindsay Lohan’s defense today following Lohan’s on-camera interview with “Access Hollywood” in which Lohan called president-elect Barack Obama “colored.”
Sims believes that the media’s lambasting of the starlet is only to create controversy.
“Sometimes you have to look at the intent…but the word ‘colored’ isn’t derogatory,” Sims told me in a phone interview.
