I won’t tell you Scott Sinclair has not experienced racism until the last year, but I suspect it is highly unlikely he has had to endure the vitriolic abuse he has gone through as a Celtic player anywhere in England. He must be wondering what century he travelled to when encountering the kind of ‘people’ who celebrate their racism.
Yesterday his name and a racist slogan was pinned to a bonfire in Belfast. Humanity is weaker as a consequence.
Scott will travel to that town on Friday to play for Celtic, a game his team-mates will ensure goes the right way. What I can tell you about Scott, is that he will respond with overwhelming drive in the season ahead. Specifically, he will rip the turf up at Ibrox in September.

If he/she is they are getting a great response from the other Numpties. Silly Billys
I was working in Tennants Bar when i was a kid.
The pub had two doors, front and side.
Im working one night and a regular was so smashed he could hardly stand, i says, listen i cant serve you, you have had too much to drink. He looks at me, nods his head and staggers out the front door.
5 Minutes later he comes staggering through the side door, up to the bar.
Before i get a chance to say anything, he looks at me and says, ‘FFS, do you work in awe the pubs roon here’:)

I played for Bellshill- played against Stevie Milne, who was capped by Scotland, a few times. Played against Beacon and Bon Accord in my time.
My shoulder is a problem too but, otherwise, escaped injury free.

Everybody faced competition from Jobson, he was always sniffing around like a dug on heat:)))
Deffo not one to be trusted!!
Id be willing to bet, that quite a few of us would recognise each other….West End in the eighties and nineties.
I was like a young Che Guevara in those days:), righting wrongs, fighting with nazi’s, waking up in the botanic gardens:)
All good clean fun:)
