Peter Lawwell’s letter to the broadcasting regulator, Ofcom, regarding Sky Television’s “grossly and irresponsibly misleading” sub-titles over Alfredo Morelos words, spoken in Spanish, will hopefully flush out the persons behind the act.
The letter states that the “effect and, [Celtic] believe, purpose of this misrepresentation was to broadcast offensive and incendiary allegations against Celtic Football Club and its supporters.
“Issues of racism and sectarianism are far too important to be manipulated in this way by any broadcaster or third party.”
Sky’s retraction and apology is not sufficient. We would like to know which members of the media are prepared to broadcast untrue “offensive and incendiary allegations” against the club ourselves as fans. It would help confirm long-held suspicions of standards in our media.
My cynicism suggests there will be a fall guy, he will say he acted alone and will take all the blame. For a bung.
None of that will matter come 2pm on Sunday, when we fight for a place in the Scottish Cup quarterfinal. This is cup football, when we are told, “anything can happen”. These days, in Scotland, cup competitions have taken on a prominence seldom known in world football.
Apart from Celtic, no one has won a major trophy of any description since Hibs won the Scottish Cup four years ago. There is a desperation in some places to win a trophy, to look for signs our dominance is slipping.
The same importance is placed on the cups at Celtic. Brendan Rodgers rested players for a Europa League game ahead of a League Cup tie against Hearts. Celtic’s dominance has attributed the League and Scottish Cups a status they both struggled to attain in the decades before, when the league was all. Now, for Celtic, winning everything is our aim, and for the others, winning anything is everything.

How BBC Sport Scotland work
“Griffiths COULD face charge”
promoted by the above to the UK wide main football page, BBC Online
“Sevco coaches banned”
hidden away as article no. 6 on the SCOTTISH Football page.
Yeah that’s typical Bias BBC Scotland we all know who their Favourite are.
Boycott their License Fee I see its increasing to cover all the big yearly
wage packets they pay out & for the people who don’t pay said fee
I see there is support for not paying said rip-off fee/scam on the Net
via You-Tube & Facebook the BBC use these numpty’s who cold call
people who have not paid their scam fee complaing about being
Filmed & some of the said numpty’s are using intimidating &
threatning tactics the BBC are making out that if you watch any
Live Event/Programme from your House without a TV License Fee
being paid they can get you done for that anyway the latest news
on said matter (Not Paying TV License Fee) is that their is talk that
they (The People V The BBC) & MP’s are looking @ changing said
so called dodgy Law from Criminal too a Civil Matter.
If you go to any other Country near by for example Europe their
Citizens there are not forced into paying an extortionet payment
to support certain individuals life styles no wonder the UK is called
Rip Off Britain by some people
new article posted.

Above is CELTIC Interim Report for the six months to December 31, 2019.
Paul67 et al
There is a breaking story, I think, that the Sun not only knew in advance of, but attended, the attack on Manchester United Chief Ed Woodward’s home late last month. If true it suggests that the Murdoch media, far from reporting on events, could well be actively involved in the story itself. Celtic are not the only football club complaining about the role of the media, Manchester United have lodged a complaint with IPSO (press watchdog) claiming that a journalist, and almost certainly a professional photographer were present, and that the presence of a ‘journalist’ “both encouraged and rewarded the perpetrators”…..And no peaceniks they.
So, media not only reporting the story, but help create it in the firs place?
Hold the back page! No?
The Scotsman is now reporting Liverpool are now favourites to sign Morelos beating off Everton,
