On my first day we have a photo shoot with avid supporters of our campaign Billy Bragg and Rangers and Scotland captain Barry Ferguson. Day three is spent with Barry’s older brother and former Rangers and Hearts star Derek Ferguson delivering our Safe Place workshop on asylum seekers and refugees to primary schools in Edinburgh. Day four I meet with one of our committee advisors Derek Kirkwood within the inner sanctum of the Scottish Football Association at Hampden Park. But it’s not all glamour. On my way to the recent Old Firm derby I notice the BNP selling their propaganda outside the stadium. It was a busy wee spot! The recent race furore with regards to Big Brother and the constant negative attitudes towards Muslims and our new citizens from the EU reinforces my belief that we must never be complacent. I believe that racism changes according to political and social conditions and that racism operates along at least three axes. First, it is characterised by denigratory stereotyping, hatred and violence. Second, it sets in motion cycles of disadvantage. Third, it negates and even obliterates the culture, religion and language of the groups concerned. I am looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead but saddened by the fact that in 2007 we still need to fight the scourge that is racism in our society. Here is an overview of our major achievements over the last 18 months since our last annual review. This is only a small snapshot of our tireless efforts. For a more detailed review of our work please log onto www.theredcardscotland.org Scotland 2006 3 Kick Off – September 2005 Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) After a pre-season of consolidation, the SRTRC Scotland season kicked off with the launch of the Fortnight of Action – Scottish video, education pack and website at the October 2005 Scottish Parliament. The extravagant surroundings provided the backdrop for a launch Next up was our second nationwide Fortnight of attended by SRTRC supporters from far and wide, Action in October. Once again, the Scottish FA, including top SPL players and members of the and all 42 professional clubs in the Scottish band Snow Patrol, who pledged their ongoing Premier League and Scottish Football League support to the campaign. Minister for gave their backing, and every first team player Communities Malcolm Chisholm added from Ross County to Gretna showed the red significantly to the day with the announcement card to racism before kick-off. Perhaps the most that a copy of the video and education pack was progressive new development was the Fortnight to be distributed to every school in the country, as of Action grants scheme, part-funded by the part of the Scottish Executives 'One Scotland' Scottish Executive. This saw SRTRC award a campaign. total of 27 grants of up to £1,000 for community initiatives around the country, with a total of 117 red card events over the Fortnight. In addition, 8 out of the 42 professional clubs supporters were actively involved, organising local actions including poster distributions and educational workshops.

January began with the fantastic news that the Scottish Executive had awarded SRTRC Scotland £275,000 to continue developing our work as part of the 'One Scotland' campaign. This governmental support will be crucial in getting the anti-racist message to as many young people and football fans as possible over the next three years. Scotland 2006 5 Schools Competition – Livingston FC and Glasgow March 2006 Ansar – August 2006 March once again saw Hampden Stadium mobbed Our first step in addressing the lack of Scottish born by young anti-racists from all over Scotland for the minority ethnic footballers was to forge a partnership EIS/SRTRC schools competition prize giving with Livingston Football Club and Glasgow Ansar. ceremony hosted by BBC Scotland's Dougie Vipond.

  • Collegians-Rugby-Football-Club
    COLLEGIANS RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB 1890— 1990 by PIERRE PAUL FRY Published by Collegians Rugby Football Club, Belfast, and printed by Nelson & Knox (N.I.) Ltd. BELFAST: 1989 it FOREWORD One does not proceed very far into the research on Collegians Rugby Football Club without realising the depth and the degree to which Collegians owes its survival and existence to the generosity and benevolence of Charles Seaver Neill. Collegians is synomonous with Charlie Neill. Appropriately, the present pavilion at Deramore Park is a tangible memorial to him. It was my privilege to have known him and to have played rugby at Collegians when he was very much the dominating personality. When you met him you saw either the obvious gentleman with old world charm and courtesy or a man with commanding presence, he was over six feet tall and straight in stature, forbidding, even autocratic, but whichever mood he was in you may be sure that underneath his exterior was a most sympathetic and understanding nature. In conversation when he was invariably extolling the virtues of Collegians, he spoke with a distinct, pulsating and passionate voice. Charlie Neill was the great Collegian. I wish to thank many people and sources from which I have had assistance in the compilation of this work. My first acknowledgement must be made to the Belfast Newsletter, the Belfast Telegraph, the Ireland's Saturday Night, the Northern Whig, the Linenhall Library and the Central Library for permission to use their files for reports and results of matches. My thanks are also due to the Methodist College, Belfast for access to its archives, mainly for the records of the early years.
