stillalwaysblue 3 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Why do the TV companies employ those who clearly have a hatred for other clubs mainly our club. Also why always ex players when there are plenty out there who are not professional football players but have a good knowledge of the game. If the Celtic board want to show themselves as being half decent then they should come out against their fans sending death threats. No doubt they will deny it was their lot and blame us for everything and anything as per normal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M.O. of Sutton and his career in the media is about ensuring he can't be ignored within what is a low quality environment that tends to lap up controversy and serve it up as clickbait. Scottish football medialand could be used as a testground for the use of basic A.I. programming. Replace journalists/pundits with two dimensional algorithms set up to create controversy. You could even replace Michael Stewart on the Sportscene couch with............. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 18 hours ago, 26th of foot said: Just a couple of jottings from memory of Higher History in the early seventies. I. Paul Larkin's tripe about Free Masons banning RCs is nonsense. I remember doing Higher History circa 1973, in the study of early trade unions/tramping artisans, the first banning order emanates from the the Vatican. An Edict issued in 1738 bans RCs from becoming members of the Masonic Order. It's mind numbing paranoia to turn this around to state the Masonic Order bans RCs. 2. Sellik allowing Larkin access to peddle such tripe, is up there with ra Sellik allowing access to the Wolfe Tones thirty years past, to film an official video. You couldn't make it up, you don't need to; the Wolfe Tones are there in colour inside ra Piggery shouting the refrain, "ooh aah, up the Ra". Sellik and Paul Larkin, keeping it classy, always? One of my mother Lodge past masters is an RC. The RC church ex-communicated him when he went through the Masonic Order. Larkin is full of shit. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,413 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 REF RAP Hearts boss Craig Levein hit with one-game ban after slamming Bobby Madden following Rangers defeat CRAIG LEVEIN will be in the stand for Hearts’ cup clash with Livingston later this month after he was hit with a one-game touchline ban. The Jambos boss was cited after he was critical of ref Bobby Madden during his side’s 2-1 loss to Rangers in November. Levein claimed it was like ‘playing against 12 men’ as he argued Gers winner was offside and that Alfredo Morelos should have been booked for persistent fouling. Hibs boss Neil Lennon dodged punishment after making similar comments following his side’s loss to Celtic in October. But after appearing at Hampden in person this afternoon, Levein was found in breach of Rule 72 and was given an immediate one-match ban, with a further one-game ban suspended until the end of 2019. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3716374/hearts-craig-levein-bobby-madden-sfa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1546877492 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 They've even got Fat Smell Andy on the case, so it must be serious ? SNP hypocrisy over ‘Go Home’ jibe is laughable by Andy Muirhead On Tuesday, the Scottish National Party’s leader at Westminster Ian Blackford was abused by Tory backbencher Nicholas Soames MP as he stood to discuss the Brexit fiasco. Soames, the grandson of Winston Churchill, told Blackford to ‘go back to the Isle of Skye’ – abuse that stunned the SNP politicians who showed their feelings quite clear towards the Tory denouncing his comments. But while I stand with the SNP on this disgraceful show of abuse from a politician whose party is lurching the country towards chaos, I have to laugh at the SNP’s hypocrisy. For well over a decade, Celtic fans have been targeted and abused by Rangers fans chanting ‘the famine is over why don’t you go home’ – in relation to Celtic’s close ties with Ireland and in reference to the Irish Potato famine. Millions of Irish died due to the British Empire fuelling the famine by committing genocide and the forced emigration of millions more. Yet the SNP which has been in power since 2007 has done little to combat the rise in sectarianism and bigotry – other than implementing the now defunct and discredited Offensive Behaviour in Football Act which targeted ordinary football fans using their right of freedom of expression and did little to curb the sectarian singing and anti-Catholic hatred that emanated primarily from the Rangers support. In fact, the Act saw the Police target specific fan groups using kettling tactics that are used specifically for crowd control and heavy-handed policing with doors being kicked in as if it was a drugs raid, rather than to arrest someone for singing a song. In 2009, saw a Rangers fan jailed for singing The Famine Song and despite appealing his conviction, Lord Carloway ruled that the song was racist and his conviction for breach of the peace, aggravated by religious and racial prejudice stood. Former Celtic and current Hibernian manager Neil Lennon has been the target of sectarian hate and violence ever since he signed for the Parkhead side in 2000. The Northern Irish Catholic has been subjected to physical assaults on Glasgow’s streets and has been attacked on the touchline by a Hearts fan who was disgracefully cleared of assaulting the then-Celtic manager after an Edinburgh Sheriff Court jury the case against him not proven – despite a wealth of footage [broadcast worldwide] showing the assault clearly. Lennon was also the target of two Rangers fans who sent bullets and homemade bombs through the post to him and other prominent Celtic supporters. This season Lennon once again was targeted with sectarian abuse by Rangers and Hearts fans again with the leading Scottish anti-sectarian and anti-racism charities failing to make a statement in support of him altogether. An article on Commonspace, quoted a 2017 survey by Show Racism the Red Card Scotland which ‘reported 56% of respondents had experienced anti-Irish racism, while 60% had witnessed instances of anti-Irish racism’. It also highlighted that around 93% said they had not reported the incidents to Police Scotland. We live in a modern society, in 21st Century Scotland and yet there are elements who are living in the 17th century freely abusing and attacking people because of their faith and perceived faith based on the football club they support – all the while the SNP merely pay lip service when the cameras are shoved in their faces or when an election approaches. Our game is stained with the sectarianism and bigotry that is on show every single week and with the SPFL and Scottish FA doing nothing to punish clubs – due to their own rules – the SNP themselves either remain silent or throw a few more quid to organisations that do little to comment on the majority of instances of bigotry, sectarianism and racism – picking and choosing who to support and when to issue statements over. So while I am disgusted by the comments of Nicholas Soames MP – who is following in the racist footsteps of his grandfather – I for one can only laugh at the SNP’s outrage when they do little to curb the racism, sectarianism and bigotry that many face every single day in Scotland. This weekend will see such hate-filled songs being belted out at McDiarmid Park as Rangers visit St.Johnstone and once again Scotland’s politicians will remain silent on the matter or worse still praise the fans for their behaviour despite tens of thousands belting out their bile. Why should I take my son and daughter to football games in Scotland? Why should they be subjected to hate-filled sectarian and bigoted bile because of the team they support and over their religious beliefs? Can the SNP answer me that once they have come off their pedestal pointing their fingers at Soames? https://thecelticbhoys.com/2018/12/22/snp-hypocrisy-over-go-home-jibe-is-laughable/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,612 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Celtc fans often sing, "Go home, ya Huns" at us. That is a demand and racist. We are simply asking a reasonable question. Is Muirhead unaware that many Scots also died in the potato famine? And does he think a football match should follow similar politeness protocols as Parliament? What a victimhood-entrenched clown.
