How many people will still use this forum?

If anyone making sectarian comments gets arrested, according to the new bill?

I get the impression a lot of people aren't sure what is or isn't a sectarian comment.

    That's the problem with the new law. Trying to define just what is and is not 'sectarianism'.

    I think the lawyers will have a field day with this one.

    And another question......if someone commenting from outside Scotland or the UK makes what the powers that be decide is a sectarian issue.....how will that be dealt with?

    Sectarianism has nothing to do with football. End of. Football is a game, a sport,kick the ball about and put it between the goal posts, the one that does that the most wins the game.

    Sectarianism is about hatred of people who have small differences between each other - it is as petty as which church you go to on a Sunday morning. Nothing to do with football there as far as I can tell.

    So if all the narrow minded got arrested, rehabilitated and so on, this forum would still get used by people who are interested in Football.

    Sure have banter between the teams and which is better but bring up something from history, many years before 1863 and this has nothing to do with the beautifull game, bring religious bias into the discussion - nothing to do with football, and so on. But I think this forum will exist like all the other seperate football dorums exist

    I think they would have to nab us all,all this is politicians trying to make themselves look like they are doing some good taking the glare of their greedy habits of over claiming expenses .
