So we have had Boyd, Gerrard and McInnes all get the exact same abuse from the same fans, yet silence from the SFA and the players reps?

Kris Boyd demands SFA chiefs start earning their wages as he launches blistering attack
The Kilmarnock hitman reckons it's time for the bigwigs to stop hiding after another weekend of fan misbehaviour.
Kris Boyd has told SFA chiefs to start earning their fat wage packets or get out of the game before it’s left in tatters.
The Kilmarnock striker launched a blistering attack on the bigwigs and says they have “nowhere to hide” this time after the latest incident of fan misconduct took place in their OWN stadium in their OWN competition.
With Derek McInnes being subjected to sectarian abuse at Hampden Park in the William Hill Scottish Cup, Boyd is adamant there is no excuse for the SFA not to get tough on the offenders.
And, if they don’t, he asks why the governing body need even EXIST.
Boyd reckons not enough is being done by the SFA on fan-misbehaviour.
But, with bulky salaries being paid out to the top brass, he insists THEY have to lead on the issue or there is no point in them even being there.
PFA Scotland were also slammed as Boyd blasted: “The SFA have nowhere to hide on this one. The PFA have nowhere to hide on this one.
“They would all have been at the game and heard it with their own ears.
“There are some people within the SFA who get paid a healthy salary to make decisions like this.
“If they can’t stamp authority onto football clubs because they are our governing body, then what is point of them being there?
“What is the point of them getting paid the wages they are getting paid?
“The top guys at the SFA are paid a lot of money to make decisions.
“Justify your wages. Justify being put in that position and go and make the decisions.
“Come up with something. Go and fix this before our game is left in tatters.
“Clubs are trying to do their best, but it takes a bigger stance from the people at the very top.
“There have been incidents where they have been able to turn a blind eye. Put out a statement and say they will look after their players and managers.
“The SFA have been able to look after certain clubs better than others.
“Now it is right under their own eyes and ears, so it will be interesting to see if they act.
“If there is something good happening at the clubs, then the SFA are quick to say how they’re part of it. There are always organisations looking to jump on the bandwagon.
“But when incidents happen, they don’t ever want to get involved.
“You can see the pattern. It seems they’ll deal with some things and not others. That’s not right, is it?
“There have been incidents at other grounds involving other teams that they have been pretty quick to act on.
“I’ll say it again, this was under their own eyes to hear the songs being sung on Sunday.
“If they don’t act on this one, then I think the rest of Scottish football needs to look at who is running Scottish football because you can’t keep turning a blind eye to this sort of behaviour.
“There must be something that can be done inside Hampden to start weeding these people out.
“It’s like some people are just hoping it goes away instead of actually doing something about it.”
As well as finding the culprits, Boyd says the SFA should take an additional stance by siding with their targets and victims.
Boyd added: “Derek McInnes knows he will punished and rightly so because you can’t act the way he acted.
“But it will be interesting to see the other side on the ones who were giving the abuse.
“When you strip it back, maybe they should look at it and let him off because it should be the start of a stance against these idiots hurling abuse. It’s now happening every weekend in our game.
“I thought we’d reached a tipping point on all of this weeks ago. Something needs done.”
Not only is this cleverly worded by Boyd, he'll know fine well he still has a visit to the piggery coming up and the vermin won't be able to help themselves.
I think he may well just have set Clarke up too.

its exactly what lego eater did to us at the stadium of blight
BTW what's the rules regarding bringing the game into disrepute...?
“If they don’t act on this one, then I think the rest of Scottish football needs to look at who is running Scottish football because you can’t keep turning a blind eye to this sort of behaviour. ”
Yes he did.Didn't Lennon do the same to us at Ibrox when he was at the other 19th Century Terrorist team ?
Agree mate only hope Boyd's article is highlighted,and more people see it,been well worded,so don't think it's all his own work,but fair play to him!Honestly, I’m going to applaud Boyd for this. He’s having a dig at Celtic and questioning how they continually get away with it and why Lawell has so much power over the SFA.
He’s obviously said it in such a way that he hasn’t directly implicated them or got himself in trouble, but he’s still more of less said it and everyone with half a brain will know exactly what he’s saying there. This is the sort of thing that needs to be said more often, I only wish our board had the spine to just say what we all know.
McInnes should NOT be getting punished for this. Popcorn teeth done it to our main stand about a year ago and it was 'banter'. DMc should also challenge his red card and get this more in the open. He`s a fool to accept it.
I could not have summed it up better ,that one thing a footballer learns very early in his career and its called how to count money.Someone had to start by saying something on the matter, the fact that Boyd was the victim of the Tims shit a few weeks back, and the fact, that Clark his manager chose to ignore the fact, and complain about his own case speaks volume, to me, and perhaps our ex hero is preparing for a life after football?
And exactly what Lennon did to us also......guess what.....no action taken.......go figure!its exactly what lego eater did to us at the stadium of blight
To be fair Derek McInnis has had had it loads more time off them than that in the last few years. The Cup Final in December for a startSteve Clarke received that song once - national news
Derek McInnes received it once - national news
Steven Gerrard received it three times - not a peep
The cause of Scotland's problem is that we stood idly by whilst the country's positions of power and institutions were infiltrated and eventually controlled by them.The source of the problem is obvious for anyone who chooses to see it.
The literal division of society at age 5 is the cause of the division in our society. Who’d have thunk it?
That’s exactly what he is saying , he just needs to be carefulWish he’d gone one further and asked if sectarianism is a one way street in Scottish Football.
Yes he did.
He cupped his lugs then turned to the main stand and made the gesture.
