Bluedell 5,341 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sky should do another interview and Morelos would no longer be restricted from saying that he was racially abused by Celtic fans as the police investigation that was ongoing at that point is now complete. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,341 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 As for the "Sky" translation, I wonder if Traynor had anything to do with that? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice that but wondered if they did it to keep in with Rangers, rather than saying that it wasn't their fault. One possible scenario is that Celtic know that it was Traynor and that's why they're wanting more information from Sky and why they have banned them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Celtic has a grain of morality they would be condemning racial abuse at Parkhead as reported by one of their own fans, endorsed by police charges and heard in social media recordings. They are clearly trying to implicate Rangers in false racism accusations in order to then create a story to drown out the actual racism (and sectarian bigotry which everyone has forgotten about) that took place in their stadium by their fans on 29th. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have any morality. When the issue of racism against Morelos was raised they reverted to type and attacked the victim of the racism, Morelos. "We are aware of the gestures made by the player towards Celtic supporters. We have received no reports of any racial abuse" 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,074 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 To be fair, if a news report falsely translated an interview stating rangers fans were racist we would all be livid. I don't have a problem with what Celtic have done. If Traynor has done this then he should be out the door. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does this idea come from that Traynor acts on his own authority. To the best of my knowledge no competent management would ever allow a PR employee or a contracted PR company to issue public statements without the prior and specific approval of the board or the CEO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with what Celtic have done. If the roles were reversed, the press would have been in uproar about us complaining about it when our fans actually did do it. Celtic are continuing to deny and deflect the racism in their support. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
