No...See image on previous page why Celtic fans don't like him

Cuntyhole Kyle again

I've no problem with a player giving his all. Thats not what lafferty does.

Seems to always do the business against Celtic.

Always? They beat us once last year, they beat us yesterday with a good goal from lafferty. Apart from that he has done little against Celtic. He is a hortible, nasty football player.

Other than the fake headbut incident, what else has he done to warrant the 'horrible, nasty football player' tag?

Maybe because he often throws himself about like a thug when he plays Celtic. Naismith is probably worse. They play in the mould and at the instructions of their greeting faced manager. Lafferty has been booked everytime he has played for Hearts against Celtic.

I'm sure the Hearts fans and Rangers fans before would expect nothing less than full blooded commitment against Celtic, just as the Celtic fans expect the same from Scott Brown.

Scott Brown rarely oversteps the mark but what has that got to do with Lafferty?
There is commitment and then there is thuggery. Also they should try the same 'commitment' against other teams not just Celtic. By the way, Lafferty isn't the worst in Scottish football.

Bit of a chicken and egg type scenario maybe, but Lafferty's 'commitment' might be something to do with the stick he receives from the Celtic fans.

QUOTE FAIL!
Giving and receiving stick is neither here nor there. His gesture above does not bother me. His elbows, over the top tackles and general loutish behaviour playing for Hearts against Celtic does.

Celtic were for and lacked any cutting edge against Hearts. On this evidence I sincerely hope the fall of last year does not continue. That said only 2 games in lets give it a week.

Lafferty is actually married to a catholic, think it was a drama at the time think he was married in a catholic church, him and Darren O'Dea are married to 2 sisters i think. Lafferty not the worst guy, hes a unionist from NI, loves Rangers, id expect him to bust his balls everytime he plays us, no big deal just have a look at Stokes when he played for Hibs against Rangers, used to be like a man possessed

Lafferty's nationality, religion or off field personality has nothing to do with my opinion on his nastiness on the field for Hearts against Celtic. Hearts decision to play the way they do gets them so far but has won them nothing recently. Their decision to keep long grass on their pitch for Celtic's visit (and only Celtic's) appears to have backfired long term, possibly contributing to injury to their captain Berra.

P.s. O'Dea is almost as bad.

Yip, that's my thoughts too. Couldn't care less where he's from or what his religion is, if you're a hateful d**k it doesn't matter what religion you have you're still a hateful d**k

Actually Naismith is worse.

Good teams should be able to fight fire with fire when a team adopts a more physical approach.  Think of the Man Utd teams in recent history with Robson, Ince Keane, Hughes, Scholes etc who were all talented players who could take and dish out the rougher stuff against weaker, aggressive teams who were never going to be able to play them off the park.  You need winners too as well as ballers.

Football has moved on since Ferguson's days. There is being tough and then there's Hearts.

After conceding early we've come back into this and Griff should have equalised, still a chance!!

[Captain Obvious]

2-0 (3-1) behind its not looking good for Celtic.

[Captain Obvious]

A lifeline for Celtic? 2-1 (3-2) now

[From the Bunker]

Ah well that was a like a slow death at the end. Europa League here we come!
