Football Abandons Social Media Over Racism Whilst Scotland Is Silent On Ibrox’s.

The Scottish Media

The Scottish media has uttered not one word about this matter. Not one word.

There has been nothing on the radio shows, nothing in the newspapers, not a single journalist has tweeted about it or mentioned it. It is incredible.

It’s as if the entire industry which exists to cover the news in this country has taken a vow of silence on this matter.

You would not get this kind of uniformity in a two-bob dictatorship.

It is almost beyond belief, except that this is not the first time they’ve completely ignored a negative story from Ibrox. This has become commonplace. It has become standard.

For decades, the media in this country flatly refused to acknowledge that the club over there spewed bigotry out of the stands every week.

They pursued the policy of “don’t ask don’t tell” when it came to a sectarian signing policy.

All but a handful of them have been like this for years, but even those on whom we can usually rely – Spiers, Murray, Stewart – are conspicuous by their silence.

There is not a single one of them – not one – who emerges from this week with an iota of credit.

This is a news story in any other nation.

Except Scotland.
