I was equaly surprised, meself. I thought sectarianism had lost it's hold on football but just take a look yourself. It's a very easy topic to reseach although it does not make for pleasant reading:-( There is a survey you will find (2005 I think) where it shows that sectarian crime is on the increase in general and is still rife on the terraces. I fully understand you not wanting to be tarred with the same brush as these thugs but, unfortnately, they are committing these crimes in the name of your religion. Until both football and religion rids itself of these people then they will both be dragged down.

Cheers
