Miller & Wallace Disciplinary Hearing in mid-August

[SteveC 150]

Yes, the myth part is that he did when celebrating breaking his duck v. us. He went potty when he scored. The commentator that it was out of pure or sheer relief. He extravagantly thumped has chest but did not kiss the badge on that occasion, at least. Whether he ever did or not, I can't say as I only saw him against us, but if he did it is mistakenly mixed up with that particular OTT outburst of joy. 

 

I've not heard the interview because it was on, quelle surprise, the BBC. 

 

For all he has done positive for us, there seems to be a negative to counterbalance things. BBC Raduo Scotland Sportsound ***shudder***

He didn't kiss the Celtic badge but thumped his fist on it when he scored.

Working the crowd like a showman should.

so what !....they were his team at that time

He's a professional footballer ( I'll refrain from the FFS).....it's his living

and I wouldn't have any problem with it if he did kiss their badge....big deal !

probably because no sane person would bother their arse about shite like that.... (see what I did there)

 

non us would find it ridiculous and some of us would too....if I can put it that way

Supporting a football team has little to do with sanity.

From the details that are available, this is my understanding:

- Wallace & Miller breached club/company disciplinary rules which was formally reported.

- Both players suspended on full pay, pending investigation

- A thorough investigation was carried & found that the players did indeed breach club rules to varying degrees

- Disciplinary action was taken in accordance with club regulation, which resulted in a fine for both players

- Both players disagree & are appealing the matter

 

Based solely on the evidence available, there is nothing to indicate that the club have done wrong.  IF the players are appealing the decision then the investigation will come under scrutiny.  This may highlight fault within the investigation & result is either the fine being overturned, or lessened.  OR it may find that the the investigation was full, thorough & without prejudice & therefore the punishment stands.

 

With regard getting rid of Miller, his contract has expired....all they had to do was simply not renew it & from what we know, there was no intention to renew.

With Wallace, it different...he still have a year left on his contract.  If there was no future for him....why go through a length & time consuming disciplinary process just to get him out the door???  His decision to appeal the outcome has now essentially put him on a collision course with the club, which he will not win.  Yes, he may win the appeal but he will not kick another ball until his contract has expired & he may well find his playing career effectively over.

 

I really can't believe that folk are unhappy with the club over this matter, or questioning the clubs motives - 2 players over stepped the mark, regardless of who they are, they should be dealt with.

It's probably true to say none of us know all the facts but I'll trust the club in this long before I take the word of either Miller or Wallace.

I think you're right.
 
I've seen the claim repeated in here a few times now.
 
Why is that?  Do some people just post stuff without thinking about the facts?
 

 

I think they just take things as gospel without evidence

[the gunslinger 3,366]

Because I remember him doing it and being pissed at the time and everyone moaning.Maybe the memory is playing tricks. Funny so many people have the same  memory though. Think it's more cause people can't find it on Google images it means it never happened[emoji23][emoji23] when WS was asked about it he never denied it happened just that he didn't care, don't think miller has ever publicly refuted the claims either just that he didn't do it in the OF but will be happy to be proved wrong.
 
The myth is he did it against us when he broke his duct.
He used to run bang his chest and kiss his hand. Have a memory of him running behind the goal kissing the badge as he scored a last minute goal wasn't an old firm I don't think but was important at the time.
 
In the old firm game he did the chest banging thing. He says he has always done it and it's something to do with his kid. No idea if that's true. Don't remember it at Ibrox but doesnt mean he didn't.
 
As for low wage he's on a £6k basic which grows to £12k when playing. Far lower than his old wage but not exactly small change.
 
As for being fined I take it the fine is the refusal to back date the wages while suspended, wouldn't think it's a extra fine on top of wage suspension.

Your mind is playing tricks on you.
