The flute incident

The Derek Stillie death threat incident has left a sour taste in the mouth, but it does not surprise this football fan.

Only last weekend, I was in the car, listening to the radio, window down, waiting at traffic lights outside a pub, when I was threatened by a Celtic supporter that if I didn't turn the radio off, he'd "pan my windae in".

It seemed he thought the combination of the radio and a rattly exhaust sounded like flute music!

I'd like to see this poison eradicated from the game for good and would put this challenge to the powers-that-be.

ANY fan with a flag or banner which depicts any sectarian message should be banned from the ground.

I also think clubs should not allow rival teams with sectarian fans into their grounds and should boycott grounds where there is sectarianism until these clubs eradicate it.

It's time for us to act before someone gets hurt — or worse
