Regarding "In 1976 following the abandonment of a friendly at Aston Villa which drew criticism from the Orange Order", what was the nature of the criticism by the Orange Order, did they criticise the fixture itself for some reason or its abandonment, what was the reason for the abandonment, did the matter have a sectarian nature and was it related to signing policy, did Waddell oppose their criticism? Depending on the answer to some of these questions, others may be irrelevant but I'd be interested to understand the matter more clearly. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 11:34, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon.

I don't see any reason to put this on hold, so I'll pass it now. The lead should be expanded somewhat though JAG UAR 19:13, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
I think I agree with @ Hippo43: (!), that this is a kind of false balance. Celtic having only Catholic directors was at least as much to do with the two families who controlled Celtic (Kellys and Whites) refusing outside investment from any source (see how long they resisted Fergus McCann) as any sectarian motivation. Likewise, saying that the lack of a Catholic manager before Stein infers a sectarian policy is a kind of non-sequitur because Celtic had only had three managers ( Maley, McStay and McGrory) in ~75 years of history. The only (major) Scottish club who had an explicit "Catholics only" policy was Hibs, who were essentially a sporting arm of a Catholic Young Men's Society during the 1880s. Although that arguably did not have the negative connotations it would have later. [1] Jmorrison230582 ( talk) 06:21, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
