Sectarian abuse definition
BBC headline has me wondering and confused.
Abredeen fans? "Police to investigate reports of Aberdeen fans' sectarian chants aimed at Gerrard"...
Looked at sheep forum and they are quoting it might be about the word Scouse/Scouser.
Liverpudlians I ken are proud to be Scousers.
1500 Aberdeen fans sang something I'm unaware of being sectarian in a stadium recently rocking with 45-48000 singing what I think is sectarian and the Aberdeen support is being probed for sectarianism?

Re: Sectarian abuse definition
Not seen the BBC story so thanks for explaining. Isn't it ironic that week in week out the fans of Celtic and the Rangers sing sectarian songs, never a mention, but the club that gets accused of their fans singing sectarian songs is......... Aberdeen.
Wtf
Couldn't be anything to do with being bad Sevco losers could it?

Just checked on this and the Sun (ffs) reporting that it was sectarian orange bastard type abuse, so not the Scouser bit that was the concern. There's a video of the singing but I can't make it out to be honest.

Cove Rangers are staunch, the corollary of that is AFC must be feenones.
Levelling any sort of charge of sectarianism against AFC when we've witnessed what has been coming out of Ibrox and Parkhead for years is akin to right wing politicians accusing Corbyn of being a bigot.

Re: Sectarian abuse definition
As a Dundonian, I find it hilarious when The Rangers fans cry sectarianism when people call them huns. No sure the YKH or HH were calling themselves religious names.
