The only one that seems concerned about the pc sh1t is you, the rest of us think the whole T-shirt thing is a bloody good laugh.

Will all threads about poltical correctness be moved to the football section in future ?

Depends on whether you print a "I hate political correctness" t-shirt with a footy badge on it.

I was living/working in Glasgow in 2002, when the South Korea/Japan World Cup was on.

Lots of shops sold out of shirts of the teams England played, and all the bars were filled with people watching England's games, and supporting the opposing teams.

The papers were urging the country to support the teams playing their Sassenach neighbours. The Daily Record printed the opposition's flags for people to display in their windows.

It was all good natured.

This 'racism' will cease as soon as Scotland produce good enough players to qualify for the World Cup themselves...so we might have to learn to live with it.

I must admit I did wonder why the Scots were selling t-shirts about a subject they know nowt about

It is a laugh, but I can understand their reason for banning them: Replace "England" with any Asian or Middle Eastern country and you'd have them screaming "racists" from the rooftops.

The police have to be seen to be acting impartially, even if secretly they think it's a good laugh, too.

We the Jocks only do it because they're never there themselves, suppose they have to get the summer jollies somewhere, especially now that from 2011 the Champions League will be a Scot free zone too, one place and three prelims to get to the real comp

International competitive games are substitutes for war.
That is the only thing about them I find tolerable.

The difference between the Scots and English is that when we don't qualify for something, as happened in the '78 World Cup, and they did, we all support the 'home nation', rather than the opposition, and the Scots do just the opposite.

England is a magnaminous nation, and the Scots are still bitter and twisted about what happened centuries ago.

You cannot really blame them for being such a sad race of people - brought up on a diet of salted porridge I think I would be sad. I note that far more of them emigrate to England than English do to Scotland.

This is the Jocks here using common sense (Grampian Police) "Could cause offence." not are offensive & "Consider whether" appropriate or not, well done the Jockanese for a sensible approach. A little more of this South of the Border perhaps ?

you know who you are, if you can't accept this statement you've really got issues friend.
