[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Young James McCarthy, a Scot whose Irish grandfather's dying wish was that he play for Ireland and has played for Ireland at many levels underage recently declared for Ireland. Many bigoted Scottish "journalists" have lambasted him in their rags. He plays for Scottish club, Hamilton.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]On Saturday in a game against Rangers, he was subjected to racist abuse all through the game with the Loyalist filth singing "The Famine is over, why don't you go home", "Rule Britannia" and much more. [/SIZE][/FONT]

He was booed and harassed throughout the game.

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]He has not had this abuse from any other club, but then again, these are not football supporters but racist far right thugs waving Union Jacks.[/SIZE][/FONT]

This is what young James said when selected to play for Ireland previously:

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]James McCarthy has just been interviewed for the next edition of You Boys in Green. He asked that the following be posted up on YBIG:

"I'd just like to say a big thanks to all the Ireland fans who have been so supportive of me and the other lads coming through. It's great to have made the under-21s, I can't wait to play at that level for Ireland.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I'm very happy with the progress I've made so far for club and country. Hopefully Ireland fans will be seeing a lot more of me soon." [/FONT][/SIZE]

Rangers are most certainly NOT interested in removing these thugs, if they were, they would ban the Union Jack.

Could this Ally Ross character be done under incitement to hatred legislation.

At the very least it is highly irresponsible journalism and I am sure on the grounds of responsible behaviour any worthwhile newspaper would at least dispense with his services.

[blinding]

Does anyone know the name of the offensive newspaper.

The best sanction is the comercial sanction.Irish people and people with Irish connections should withdraw all support from this irresponsible paper.

Ally Ross is with the "Sun" rag. He is a TV critic......who took it upon himself to write that hate filled piece totally outside of his remit for the rag.

I can imagine that there are a lot of Irish Celtic fans who buy the "Irish" Sun....you should be ashamed.

You are "imagining" Celtic supporters in Ireland buying the "Irish Sun". So you are saying to the imaginary Celtic supporters living in your imagination that they should be ashamed of themselves.When your imagination reports back on their reaction, will you share it with us??

Any Irish person seen with the sun newspaper might as well have idiot tatooed on their forehead.

The last one that I saw did have!

A wee bit ironic as well, in that Scotland match, a player called Chris Iwelumo played for Scotland, and he is far less Scottish than McCarthy is Irish

[Oppenheimer]

Fantastic retort by his Uncle, a well written and utterly complete rebuke of Ross - well done him!

Yes, a very dignified and sensible response.

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Rangers fans don't need incendiary articles by Sun TV critics to hurl their racist abuse. It is about time that Rangers took this abuse seriously and banned the Sectarian thugs and all the associated paraphenalia.[/SIZE][/FONT]
