The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Evil Genius]

I was sitting in the  North Stand and Feeney taunted fans in the South Stand. Now I don't know whether or not he was provoked but even if he was, it is no excuse. If every player reacted to fans taunts there would be mayhem. The referee showed him a yellow card and he has been in all the local papers gloating about scoring against Celtic, how big a huns fan he is, and this is the highlight of his absolutely average career etc etc. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Ah, so you were at the game, then? Then you will know that he was not booked for his goal celebration, as you have clearly implied in your previous post.

[T Fearon]

He was booked for taunting Celtic supporters at the bottom of the South Stand a few minutes after his goal. Whatever he said caused dozens of Celtic supporters to rise out of their seats and react.I witnessed this with my own eyes.

Now given his family background, his unavowed love for the Huns etc, and the reaction of the Celtic supporters on the receiving end of his abuse, it is reasonable to assume that the taunts he offered were sectarian in nature.

If evidence emerges to the contrary then I will of course apologise and retract my original statement.

Mainstreet you a carrot top by any chance?
Ginger just fits in nicely with the monacker WGS.

No, just glad to have a decent amount of hair at all

Ginger is used as a term of abuse not as a term of description.
He's a wee black shite / a wee crippled shite / a wee ginger shite,
No difference imo with any of those terms.

"Evidence" is it? Where is your evidence that he taunted the Celtic fans in a sectarian manner? The facts are, having scored a late equaliser a few minutes earlier, a player became involved in  some sort of altercation with a nearby section of the opposing fans at a throw-in and was booked. And from that, you automatically assume, since it suits your own, bigoted agenda, that he must have reacted in a "sectarian" manner. This despite the fact that in so sensitive a setting as a football match involving one of the Old firm clubs, the Referee didn't report any such thing. Nor did the Police. Nor did Celtic FC. Nor did the BBC. Not did any of the local newspapers. In fact, several of these did not even mention his booking, so unremarkable was it to them.

Most people are familiar with the concept of "Innocent Until Proven Guilty"; but in your case, it is clearly a case of "Innocent Until Proven Protestant".

Quite frankly, you have no more evidence that Feeney's actions were in any way sectarian, than I have that the actions of the Celtic fans involved were sectarian.

Then again, that has never stopped you in the past...

wot do u make of this?

it cud either be that he has admitted he was wrong and is going to knuckle down to get back on the team or he doesnt see the point appealing as he has a transfer lined up for january

[T Fearon]

Why would he appeal his suspension punishment  now when he has already served it?

I reckon he has been told by a few wise men round Paradise to button it, knuckle down, and toe the line. There can only be one boss at Celtic.

[Clown]

by succesfully appealing he wudnt hav been docked 2 weeks wages
i wud guess

[T Fearon]

If the reports on BBC Scotland are to be believed it seems he has wisely chosen to let this die the death, knuckle down and try to get back into the Celtic team. A sensible move in my opinion and I hope he has learned his lesson

if you are in any way interested (other than taking ineffectual pot shots at our esteemed competition afficionado), check out your story before making an erse of yourself

check out last sundays press reports that seem to back up what Tony suggests...

I disagree. I think it's more reasonable to assume that, having just scored the equaliser, he was getting dogs abuse from Hoops fans. Maybe he smiled in response, maybe he winked at them, maybe he stuck his tongue out and blew a raspberry. Who knows. Maybe he played an imaginary flute. If there's evidence he did something sectarian, throw the book at him. Likewise, if there's evidence he was the subject of sectarian barracking, ban the bigots from the ground for life. If there's no evidence of either, let's all drop the subject.

The overwhelming evidence to support Tony's reliable assumptions are there to be seen in his renowned correct assumptions about the winning formulas in the numerous competitions which have resulted in him gaining 5 star treatment all around the globe.
If Tony assumes (based on his lip reading prowess at 150 paces) that the Feeney lad whispered "dirty smelly fenians" to the baying Celtic unwashed while giving them the 2 finger salute that earned him his booking, then that's good enough for any Supreme Court.

Looking like Kris Boyd will be leaving Mordor and heading to Birmingham City, would be great news if this happens.

You mean Rangers are selling the "New Ally McCoist"?? Surely not!
